Simula
"We meet again, Mr. Jake Clarence Montes," my therapist greeted as soon as I stepped in his office.
It's been a while since the last time I came by the clinic for a psychotherapy. I thought I wouldn't need it again at all because I felt like I had been doing really well. . . until I got triggered again recently.
"Have a seat," he offered after I leaned in for a handshake which I did abruptly.
Everytime I have a session with Steve, I feel vulnerable. Of all people, only him is capable of touching the deepest and most sensitive part of my inner core. I don't have any idea how he does that but I'm grateful that I have someone to talk to about whatever shits I have been dealing with in my life for a very long time.
"It's been a while, Jake."
Tipid ang naging ngiti ko. "Yeah, I think it's been like... what? Over a year ago?"
"Yeah," he replied while scanning through my record. "Eleven months ago yung huli mong session sa akin. I thought maybe you were able to cope up already kaya hindi ka na nagpatuloy."
"I thought so, too. I was doing very well until I felt it again."
"So, tell me what brings you in today." His eyes were watching me intently as he waited for me to speak.
I took in a deep breath before my lips parted. "Meron na naman akong babaeng iniwan sa ere."
"Can you tell me something about your relationship with her?"
I met her accidentally online. Actually, it was my younger sister who played a prank on me. Hiniram niya ang cellphone ko't nag-install ng application para makipag-chat sa random na babae online para raw magka-girlfriend na ako.
Wala naman akong balak na kausapin siya or engaged into something for a long term pero ewan ko ba, parang nakita ko ang sarili ko sa kanya. Hindi ko pa man siya noon nami-meet ay naging kapalagayan ko siya ng loob online and then the rest is history.
"There was no relationship in between me and her. We were almost getting there though. I was feeling at peace with her but day by day, I started to feel the usual shit everytime I am close to falling."
I almost fell for her. Hindi iyon natuloy dahil bago pa man ako mahulog ay nilayo ko na agad ang sarili ko.
"She was the 4th woman on your list, wasn't she?" seryosong saad ni Steve na nagpatigil sa akin.
I smirked to hide how offended I was by his question. "Do you really need to make a list for me, Steve? That makes me feel how much of an awful man I am. . . or am I not?"
Binaba niya ang panulat na hawak niya sa kanyang desk bago ako tinitigan muli nang seryoso. "I apologize if I made you feel that way but you're here for a therapy, Mr. Montes. It is necessary for me to gather all the information needed so I could finalize my diagnosis of your condition."
