Bleu's POV:
Nakaupo ako sa loob ng isang cafe, maaninag mo ang labas mula sa loob dahil sa transparent glass wall nito, kaya pinagmamasdan at binibilang ko 'yong mga dumadaan na kotse habang hinihintay ko si Dave.
After what happened the other day, nang makita niya si Althea sa tabi ko ay kumaripas siya ng takbo na para bang may nakita siyang multo, agad rin naman siyang sinundan ni Althea that time.
Hindi ko alam kung anung nararamdaman ko, what Althea said to me has been bugging me and I can't feel at ease kaya kaysa sa tumahimik lang ako ay napagdesisyunan kong kausapin si Dave.
Natigilan ako nang bigla akong may ma-realized, a sudden flashback run through me.
This is the cafe where Zane brought me to help him explain kay Claire about sa amin, so that he could get her back. Same place, same spot.
Ang bilis ng panahon, that was 5 years ago.
"Bleu."
Napaangat ako ng tingin at kararating lang ni Dave, naupo siya agad sa tapat ko.
Nilibot niya ng tingin ang paligid.
"Tayong dalawa lang?", tanong niya.
"Oo, I can't even remember the last time we went out together alone."
Kumunot ang noo niya na para bang nagtataka siya sa akin.
"Gusto lang kita kumustahin baliw hahaha. You were with me... When I was at the brink of falling into darkness, you helped me keep myself together so that I'd never lose my sanity."
'Yong mukha niya parang nagdududa. I can't really blame him when hindi naman talaga ako ganitong tao na parang sentimental or something.
"Umayos ka nga! Ba't ka ganyan makatingin? Seryoso ako hahaha", hinampas ko pa balikat niya kasi dudang-duda talaga mukha niya eh.
Napahimas siya sa brasong hinampas ko saka napakamot sa kanyang leeg.
"I'm fine, other than Dad forcing me to do the business affairs- which you're aware of, 'cause I made sure you're updated, everything else is fine. You don't have to worry about me when you've got load of complications happening to you right now.", he solemnly answered, even rolled his eyes at me after.
I can't help but sigh. I guess, he really doesn't wanna tell me about it and I don't really wanna be the one to bring it up, ayoko siya pangunahan.
Dave has always been the type na if may gusto niyang sabihin o gawin ay sasabihin o gagawin niya talaga, but if he doesn't, ayaw niyang e-pressure sarili niya to do it. He'd rather keep it to himself hanggang sa maayos niya o masolusyunan niya.
I just really feel heavy inside kasi ang dami kong tanong sa kanya, have I been hurting him all these years?
"Kumusta kayo ni Gianna?", parang t*nga na natanong ko bigla knowing na matagal na sila naghiwalay ng ex niya na 'yon.
"Gianna? I don't even know where she is right now after we broke up."
"Hindi ka pa ba nakakapag-move on?", I asked him po-faced, so his raised eyebrows fell down.
Double meaning ang tanong ko na 'yon at nasa kanya na ito kung paano niya iintindihin.
His eyes roamed around my whole face, except that he's ignoring to meet my eyes.
It was a long silence before I got his answer.
"I'm trying. So... Please... I... ", he gulped.
"I don't really want to talk about it. Just let me handle it myself. Ayoko dumagdag sa mga problema mo."
