Gaano Ba Kasakit Ang Break-Up?

3

Everytime naglalakad kami sa hallway ng paaralan, nagsisitinginan talaga ang mga boys. Hindi sa panghahambog, pero magaganda talaga kaming magkakaibigan. But please don't be just tease by our beauty dahil palaban din kami when it comes to academics, sports and in other fields.

Minsan nga tinatawag nila kaming "The Elite" or "The A-list" but we consider ourselves "The *Bellas ". Siguro many of you doesn't know what it means but it's an Italian, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese and Latin word for beautiful and it's generally associated with females. So obviously that's us, inside out.

Isa din siguro sa mga unique sides namin ay ang pagkakaiba sa ngalan ng pag-ibig.

Isang palaging sawi. (Chloe)

Isang heartbreaker at pa-asa. (Stephanie)

At ako na,

NBSB at Virgin pa.

"Weee?"

Tayka nga Jasmine at Steph, POV ko to. Wag kayo makialam.

"Well, NBSB ka naman talaga. So, totoo lang na Virgin ka pa."

"Steph, harsh mo ha."

"Well I'm just telling the truth. And I think it's good to know someone like you exist. Parang future Mama Mary."

"Paano mo nagagawa yan Chloe?" tanong ni Jasmine.

"Ang alin?"

"Yang NBSB, magmamadre ka ba? O gusto mo sundan ang yapak ni Mama Mary?"

"Hindi naman. Stewardess ang gusto ko. I want travel around the world and explore every culture."

"Tsa! Alam na namin yan. Pero paano nga? Paano mo yan namemaintain?" ang pag-insist ni Jasmine.

"Ewan. Focus lang talaga ako sa pag-aaral, ayaw kong sayangin ang effort nila mama at papa sa akin."

"Hmmm...I think, when you fall in love and if it didn't work out, you have the hardest fall!"

"Paano mo nasabi?"

"Sometimes you have to experience for you to find out."

Pag-english ng English guys si Stephanie talaga yan. Laking Englishera kasi tong mistesa nato.

"Kaya nga ako Chloe, I always experience. Para matototo akong mag-move on!"

Natawa kami ni Stephanie sa sinabi ni Jasmine.

"Anong nakakatawa don?"

"Alam mo Jasmine para ka pa ring lasing! Ilang times kana kaya na heart broken pero di ka pa rin natototo.As in walang pagbabago. As I've seen, you keep repeating the history."

"Wow nagsalita, well experienced?" sumbat niya sa sinabi ko.

"Stop it! Baka mag-away pa kayo. Jasmine, this is not to pull you down or humiliate you. But Chloe has a point kahit wala siya'ng experience kitang kita naman namin sayo na di ka talaga natototo."

"...I'm sorry. Ewan ko ba. Pag first time, ang saya-saya. Tila sa kanya na umiikot ang mundo ko. Mga ilang araw o weeks, mas lalong tumatamis, tila sabik na sabik kang makita, mahagkan at mayakap siya palagi. Yung parang ayaw mo na mawalay sa kanya. Pero kalaunan, pagdumating ng months, lumalabo, tila mamimiss mo ang dating lambingan at pagsuyo. Hanggang sa isang araw, malalaman mo nalang mayroon na pala siya'ng iba! Shiiiit! heartbreaker monster! Mamatay sana silang lahat!"

"Wag ka ngang sumigaw Jasmine!"

"Ang sakit kasi, parang di na ako makahinga."

"Wait...yan ang nararamdaman mo?"

Tumingin ng matulis sa akin si Jasmine.

"Tinatanong pa ba yan? Talaga?..hay nako Chloe. Subukan mo kasi at ng malaman mo!"

"Yasss! I agree, there's no harm in trying. Just don't go below the belt especially if you're unsure about it!"

"You mean, literal na below the belt?"

"Yasss!"

"Tama! Dapat pangalagaan mo Yan Chloe...dahil pag yan na biyak di na yan narerepair. Forever torn by love and it will leave a scar for that very first time. Well, that's what they say about it."

"Ohhh...key...tatandaan ko yan Jas. Thanks." ang awkward kong pagsang-ayon sa parang masilan na advise nya sa akin.

"What are you writing?" tanong ni Steph.

"Thesis! Remember? Let me point out. Thesis natin to. At pag di natin to natapos patay tayo walang graduation na mangyayari."

"Well, alam naman namin na kaya mo yan ikaw pa!"

"By the way, why did you choose this topic?"

"Base kasi sa statistics. Most of the suicide attempt comes from bullying, family problems and break-ups. So, okey na for those two reasons, dito nalang sa "break-ups" ako naalantala."

"What can I say, I think we will graduate with flying colors then!"

"If natapos to..."

"Obcourse, you will finish that! There's no project or assignment you didn't finish on time. Not that we're abusing your capabilities. But because we trust you."

"...Thanks Steph."

Hangang-hanga sina Jasmin at Stephanie sa akin. Ang di nila alam, is ginagamit ko din ang data for my future reference dahil nga wala pa akong experience sa love. Parang ang ginagawa ko ay hitting two birds with one stone.
