End Game 37

"We'd always go into it blindly"

Sheliah Santibañez

Pilit na prinoproseso ng utak ko ang mga salitang binitawan ni Art. How on Earth is this stuff happening? I don't believe him.

"Anong ikaw?" tanong ni Monica. "It can't be Art."

"It already did." tugon ni Art sa kaniya. Tulala lang ako sa harapan ng lahat. So my life is a lie?

"Hindi naman porket sinulat mo 'to, you can't quit. Come on hun, you can still be on credits. You don't have to act."

"I'm sorry Monica... Just this one, please? This could be your early gift." Art pleaded. Bumalik ako sa katinuan, how sweet. Pinagmasdan ko silang dalawa, I never thought that I'd see them like this again. It's been years, is this a cycle?

Monica pouted and she crossed both of her arms. "Early gift for what?"

"For our wedding."

Tila kumirot ang puso ko sa nadinig, their wedding Liah. Their wedding. Bakit ka ba nasasaktan ha? Hindi mo naman na mahal... Hindi na hindi ba?

It's over, the chapter of you and him already closed months ago. Kaya magtigil ka diyan, be strong. Huwag kang magpapakita ng kahinaan, this is your time, this your show. Don't let others to outshine your light and blind them more than the way they blinded you.

Especially your plans are all now coming together.

Napahawak si Monica sa kan'yang dibdib and she smiles. "Aww, how cute. Pero... Pilitin mo muna ako."

Hindi niyo alam kung gaano katinding pagpipigil ang ginagawa ko. Gustong-gusto kong irapan silang dalawa but I can't.

Art did not replied anything, tumingin lang siya sa akin. I can read his looks, asking for help. This time... Kailangan ko muna ibaba pride ko para mapunta ka sa akin... Kahit ngayon lang.

Ew Sheliah, no.

Do this for yourself. What the hell are you saying?

I clapped thrice, slowly. "Well, well..." Maleficent, thanks. I cleared my throat. "Wedding gift naman pala e, go give it to your future husband Monica. Don't act like a juvenile, that's a big no-no for a future bride. Diba guys?" Lumingon ako sa mga tao sa paligid. Akala ko walang sasagot pero madami ang sumang-ayon sa sinabi ko. Ibinalik ko ang tingin ko sa dalawa. "See?"

Monica rolled her eyes. "H'wag mo nga akong pangunahan. I know what I'm doing, papayag naman talaga ako na mag-stay si Art dito eh, I'm just testing him. And p'wede ba. Stop giving me your shitty quotes, hindi bagay sa two-faced, plastic, ahas, traydor, at manloloko na kagaya mo."

I coughed. "Oh my God, don't describe yourself." nagtawanan ang ilan, tinignan sila nang masama ni Monica at natahimik sila.

"I'm right! Gano'n ka naman diba Sheliah? Since we were on highschool?"

I pointed my finger at her and I moved it side to side. "Honey, walang angkatan nang nakaraan. I've got pages of your bad traits to read outloud."
