Jar...(Part 1)

I'm sorry....

Pak!

I tried but...

Pak!

I'm not ready to...

Pak!

I was never serious....

Pak!

Pak!

Pak!

I'm sorry but I don't know what love is...

Pak!

Ouch! Ella reacted from the slap Aly received from her latest girlfriend who just now became an ex-girlfriend to her.

They were in a restaurant when Aly's now ex-girlfriend came and confronted her about their supposed monthsary na sa totoo lang ay nakalimutan niya talaga. Heated arguments followed until it reached to a point Aly had to admit her real feelings and earned a resounding slap to her face and eventually, a breakup of a relationship. For the nth time.

Hawak pa rin ni Aly ang pisnging nasampal ng babae habang bumabalik ito sa upuan.

Another ex on the list, Ly! Pang-ilan na ba siya sa mga nagiging ex mo? Ella asked her friend as she resumed her eating.

Ella shouldn't be surprised actually if that scenario had happened. Ilang beses na ba niyang nakitang sinasampal si Aly ng mga nagiging ex-girlfriends nito? Almost all Aly's relationships ended with a slap on her face dahil lang sa umaamin ang kaibigan niya ng totoong nararamdaman niya.

I don't know, Aly casually answered.

Di pa ba namamanhid yang pisngi mo sa mga natatanggap mong sampal mula sa kanila?

Aly just shrugged her shoulders instead of answering her friend and continued eating her food.

Pang-ilan na siya sa mga nakukolekta mo?

Aly looked back at Ella. Kolekta? You think I'm just collecting hearts and put them in a jar, Ella?

Hindi ba? Sige nga, sabihin mo sa akin kung ilang beses ka nang nasampal ng mga babaeng pinaasa mo?

Hindi ko sila pinaasa, okay? I was honest with them from the beginning. As I am always honest to say na hindi ko kayang magseryoso. I did my best naman while we were together, treated them the way a girlfriend should be treated. But love? I'm sorry pero hindi ko maibibigay yon. I can never give that to anyone.

Bakit naman?

Again, Aly shrugged. Hindi ko alam. I just..... I just can't.

Can't or won't?

Can't, pagkumpirma niya.

So it's true then.

Ang alin?

You don't know what love is.

Napabuntunghininga si Aly. I knew Els, I used to know what love is. But someone took my heart and never gave it back.

Kaya ba kinukuha mo naman ay ang puso ng iba? patuloy na tanong ni Ella.

I was not collecting hearts Els, believe me. I was actually trying to search for mine. I was always honest with whoever I was with na hindi ko kayang ibigay ang puso ko dahil ang totoo, wala na sa akin yun. Matagal na. Matagal na matagal na.
