ALLEN
I was forced to stay up all night dahil sa mga projects na dapat tapusin. Deadline na ng mga 'to sa Monday tapos gagawa pa ako ng Narrative Report na dapat ay ginawa ng Secretary ng club naming sobrang responsable. Pero dahil nga masipag ako, ako na lang gagawa. Okay lang. 'Di ako nai-stress. Sobrang saya ko.
Resigning from my position as the SSC Organization's President already crossed my mind. Pero ayoko namang masira ang reputation ko sa mga taong umaasa sa'kin. *Sighs* When will they ever learn to stand up on their own feet?
Napapabangon ako sa pagkakahiga nung nag-ring ang cellphone ko. Sa sobrang pagod, nakatulog na pala ako sa sahig. I yawn before answering the call, squinting my eyes in the process. Wait... Sino 'to? Who on earth would call in a time like this?
It's actually past seven o' clock in the morning.
UNKNOWN CALLER...
ANSWER DECLINE
*Beep*
"Hello?"
"Allen..."
"Sino 'to?"
"..."
"Hello?"
"Why do you hate me so much?"
"Is this a prank or something? Cause if it is, I'm sorry but I'm not buying it."
"Si France 'to, Allen..."
"..."
"Please, before you say anything. Hear me out first."
"Ms. Valentino, wala na tayong dapat pag-usapan."
"Please... I want to make it up to you. Nagbago na ako and I want to prove that I---"
"Ha! What the hell are you talking about? After what you did, sa tingin mo magbabago pa ang lahat? Gan'yan ba ako katanga sa paningin mo, France?!"
"All I need is a second chance. Or maybe a last chance. I won't screw it. I want us to have closure. That's what I deserve, Allen."
"Two mistakes can't make it right. I don't deserve this either."
"I still love you."
"..."
"I know you still feel the same... I just know it..."
*Call Ended*
Pinunasan ko ang tumulong luha sa pisngi ko gamit ang kumot na nakalaylay sa gilid ng kama.
Bakit pa s'ya tumawag kung kailan ayos na ang lahat? Hindi na ba s'ya nakuntentong nasaktan niya ako? Ano pa bang kulang? After all I did for her, she dumps me... on the phone.
FLASHBACK
"France! I was worried about you. Why didn't you show up? Maghapon akong naghintay sayo. It's our monthsary, remember?"
"Allen..."
"You're turning cold towards me. Did I do something wrong? Kung meron man, I'm sorry."
"..."
"France?"
"..."
"France, sumagot ka---"
"Allen, I'm breaking up with you."
"..."
"I'm sorry. It's just... It's not working out anymore. It's not you, okay? It's definitely not. Madami lang akong iniisip at ayokong madamay ka pa sa mga problema ko. I hope you understand."
Sa mga salitang binitiwan niya, nagbago ang pananaw ko sa buhay.
Wala kang dapat asahan kung 'di ang sarili mo. Tanga ka na lang kung ipapaubaya mo ang puso mo sa isang taong minahal mo ng totoo at walang ibang isinukli kung 'di ipagpalit ka sa iba.
Ang mas masaklap pa...
Ginawa ka lang palang panakip butas.
A/N: GUYS!!! PAPALITAN KO PO 'YUNG PANGALAN NI ALVIN. GAGAWIN KO NA PO SIYANG "JINOH" (ANG LAYO 'DI BA?) XD
MAY REASONS AKO KUNG BAKIT KAYA... SHUT UP NA LANG. *NGITING KALABAW*
