Taming The Bullets

Prologue

Prologue

Naimbitahan ako sa isang okasyon  that I didn't know what the celebration was for. I'm sitting uncomfortably while sipping a glass of champagne.

Sumisigaw ang pagka elegante ng venue ng party. Halata sa mga galaw ng tao na sila ay mayayaman. I was confuse at all, why i am here? Hindi ko alam kung anong meron dito.

I was drinking my champagne while pretending that I didn't care and that I had no idea what was happening.

I was in the middle of my thoughts when my eyes caught the man on the stage. He look familiar kaya tinignan ko pa ito nang maigi napatakip ako ng bibig and my heartbeat pounding so fast hindi ako pwedeng magkamali, the man on the stage was my boyfriend, He was My Boyfriend. 

But he had a woman next to him hugging him. I feel my heart broken to pieces sa nakikita ko sa stage. He didn't do anything and let her hug him at ang masakit pa doon ay nakangiti pa sya.

I don't know what i feel right now, para akong namamatay sa nakikita ko, at lalong hindi kinaya ng pagkatao ko ng magsalita ang host.

"Welcome to the celebration of  Torres and Villanueva Engagement" wika ng host na siyang naging pagkadurog lalo ng puso.

Welcome to the celebration of  Torres and Villanueva Engagement

Welcome to the celebration of  Torres and Villanueva Engagement pauulit- ulit na pumapasok sa isip ko yun

No! No! No! Hindi mali ako ng naiisip, hindi pwede. No!Hindi nya kayang gawin yun dahil mahal nya ako.

Nakipagbreak nga sayo tapos mahal? sabi ng utak ko. 

Nanunuod lang ako sa taas at bawat salitang lumalabas mula sa  host ay syang nagiging pagkadurog ko. Napatayo ako sa upuan ko ng itanong ng host kung papayag bang magpakasal ang boyfriend ko sa ibang babaeng.

"Yes"

And as a result of his answer, my entire world was shattered into tiny pieces. He said that as he fixed his eyes on me. Hindi ko namalayan na tumutulo na ang luha ko kaya kinuha ko ang bag ko at maglalakad na sana ako pero naging marupok ang tuhod ko kaya natumba ako.

Alam kung nakatingin sa akin ang mga tao kaya kahit nanghihina ay tumayo ako at nagsimulang lumabas ng venue.

I gracefully left that area knowing that they were staring at me and knowing exactly what was going through their minds. I felt their eyes on me.

So all along I thought this party was something wonderful but Fuck! This occasion is for my boyfriend's engagement with my ex-best friend Fuck! And this occasion is for my pain!

Napadpad ako sa isang dalampasigan di kalayuan kung saan ginaganap ang party. Hindi parin tumitigil sa pagtulo ng mga luha ko. Umupo ako sa buhanginan at tumingin sa madilim na kalangitan. 

What offense did I commit? to hurt this much? Why would he do that to me? He claimed to love me, so why in the world is he going to get married to my ex-best friend?

Welcome to the celebration of  Torres and Villanueva's Engagement

Yes

Welcome to the celebration of  Torres and Villanueva's Engagement

Yes

Welcome to the celebration of  Torres and Villanueva's Engagement

Fuck! 

Engagement my ass!

"Ahhhhh!" Napasigaw nalang ako dahil sa sobrang sakit na nararamdaman ko. I punched my chest to endure the pain but fuck!
