" I TESTED MY MAN'S LOYALTY "
--
I arrived at the cafe, 5 minutes earlier before the exact time. I'm meeting Chase, my man's first love. I settled myself inside and waited patiently.
-
"Hi!"
-
I slowly turned to look around and thier I saw him, smiling widely while walking towards me. Agad siyang umupo sa isa pang upuan paharap sakin.
-
"Hello" Sabi ko at kiming ngumiti.
-
"So, dahil nakipagkita ka sakin... payag ka na sa sinabi ko? As you can see Gulf, I really don't think Mew's over me eh. I mean I am his first love and you can't just take away that feeling, right?" Malumanay ngunit diretsahang pagkakasabi niya.
-
Naikuyum ko yung kamao ko. Call me bitch pero totoo na naiirita ako sa kanya. He even have the guts to say that after leaving him before? And now He's coming back na parang walang nangyari? It's bullshit but I remained calm.
-
"Hindi ako pumapayag na basta ka na lang bumalik sa buhay niya, Chase. You've hurted him big time and I was there, I saw how devastated he was when you left him. You can't just barge into his life like nothing happened way back then, right?" I said while looking straight into his eyes. Nakita kong bahagyang tumataas ang kilay niya. Sabi na eh. Tumikhim ako at nagpatuloy, "But I wanted to test his loyalty, so yeah I'm giving you the chance to talk to him, plead him to come back in your arms. Let's see if you'll succeed"
-
He grin at me before raising an eyebrow.
-
"I'm sure he will, Gulf. Don't you know? We've been chatting each other for weeks now,"
-
"I know, Chase. Minsan nga ako ang nagbabasa sa mga messages mo sa kanya and no you two are not exchanging messages, it's just you who keep on doing such thing"
-
Nakita kong nanlalaki ang mata niya kaya tumayo na ako. Few minutes later, I know that Mew will arrive. I turned my back and walk towards the other table, yung malapit pa rin sa kinaroroonan ni Chase. Again, I settled myself, iyong posisyon na nakatalikod mula sa kanya, at sa kanila mamaya. Narinig ko pang nagsalita siya, not to loud but enough for me to hear.
-
"Iba pa rin pag nakita na niya ako. So, ready your heart, you might leave this cafe with a broken heart"
-
He sound so sure and my heart's starting to ache. I can't take away the feeling of being afraid, he's his first love and I am hoping that he won't just smile at him and accept him again.
-
"But Chase, I am not giving him up that easy. He might tell you that he still love you, but then I can't give up without a fair fight"
====================
-
"Mew! Let's talk"
-
Nanginig ako ng marinig ko si Chase. Inayos ko ang upo ko pati ang sombrero na suot ko. Ayokong makilala niya ako. Mataman lamang akong nakikinig sa kanila.
-
"I'm back, Mew" malambing na sambit ni Chase. Kinakabahan ako, sobra ang kabang nararamdaman ko.
