Days. Weeks. Months have passed.
Yue keeps his promise to visit me every month. Now we're five months in a relationship.
I refused getting any news from Vincent's company again. It wouldn't help me move on.
Natutunan ko na kung paanong magmahal ng ibang lalaki bukod kay Vince. But this time, I didn't let my world revolve around only on Yue.
I go out with friends, I also started went back on modelling. This is the self I lost when I chose to stay with Vince. I forgotten to love myself when all he do is take me for granted.
Paulit ulit. Ilang beses syang nagpalit ng babae, nagbulag bulagan ako. Kakaiba talaga ang pag ibig.
Isang araw habang nasa isang restaurant kami ni Kelley, somebody came up.
"Juliet.. "
Sabay kaming lumingon ng bestfriend ko at pareho din kaming nagulat.
"Vince" para akong natuklaw ng ahas nung nakita ko sya.
Bumalik yung pamilyar na kaba sa dibdib ko tuwing nakikita ko sya. Bumalik din lahat ng ala ala ko nung huling pag uusap namin.
Ilang buwan na kaming hindi nagkikita at inakala ko na kaya ko na syang harapin ulit.
Ngayong nandito na kami sa harap ng isa't isa, hindi ko na alam ang sasabihin ko.
Kelley rose up from her seat. "Let's go bae. The atmosphere isn't good here."
Hinila nya ako sa kamay at lumakad na kami palayo. Lumingon ako. I saw Vince still standing there looking at us, with loneliness in his eyes.
I missed you.
My stupid heart still yearns for him. I want to run back to him and confess my feelings right now.
Natanaw ko na may lumapit na babae sa kanya. It's Maureen. They both looked at me. I gave them one last look saka ako tumingin sa dinadaanan namin ni Kelley.
"Don't let yourself be fooled by him. You are both taken now. Don't do something stupid." sabi ni Kelley nung makalayo na kami.
She crossed her arms and looked at me straight to the eye.
Hindi ako makaimik. Back then I almost want to throw myself into Vince's arms.
Now I realized, why should I do that? He's not my boyfriend. I'm not his girlfriend.
I don't want to hurt Yue's feeling. I will never do that to him.
Tama nga sigurong hindi na kami magkita ulit ni Vince dahil kung sakaling magtama ulit ang mga paningin namin, aariba na naman ang traydor kong puso.
Tumawag sa akin si Yue kinagabihan at sinabing dadalaw sya ngayong weekend.
I felt a little guilty. I almost betrayed him today when I saw Vince. Before I sleep, I prayed I can totally take that guy off my heart.
Mahal ko naman si Yue. Natutunan ko na dahil hindi naman ganun kahirap mahalin ang isang lalaking katulad nito.
