He left without a word.
Now he's back like nothing happened.
Katherine just told me the other day that he'll be attending her engagement party.
It didn't even sink into my mind yet...
Tapos ngayon nandito na siya sa harapan ko.
Seeing his face brings me back to 5 years ago.
Have I really moved on?
Am I already healed from the past?
O baka naman nasanay lang ako na wala siya kaya akala ko okay na ako...
Bawat hakbang niya pababa ng hagdan ay ang pagbagal ng tibok ng aking puso. Tila ba mauubusan ako ng hininga.
I must admit that he looked way matured now.
Far from my loize years ago.
"I clearly told you to re-schedule this interview tomorrow." Madiin na sabi niya habang may kausap sa kabilang linya.
Slicked back hair, frowning eyebrows, clenching jaws and his lips...
He's wearing a button-down long sleeve, black slacks and black shoes. Leaving the three last buttons from his chest open and his sleeves are folded up to his elbows which showcases his arms.
When did he get those muscles?
"Grace?" Muntikan pa akong mapatalon sa gulat nang lumapit si Kuya Jason. "Check natin yung blocking mo sa camera."
"Kuya, I can't do this." Umiiling kong bulong.
"Huh?" Naguguluhan sagot ni kuya.
I can't really do this. Call me pitiful for not moving on from my ex. Who happened to be 5 years ago...pero hindi ko talaga kayang makita at makausap siya ngayon.
Not now.
We broke up, I was planning to fix it after weeks of giving him space. Pero nalaman ko nalang bigla na umalis na siya ng bansa.
Pagkatapos ng araw na iyon ay wala na akong narinig na kahit anong tungkol sa kanya or should I say that I blocked all the info about him from coming to me.
Because I thought that it will be the best way to move on from him.
"I'll be the one to explain to Sir."
"Pero---"
"Excuse me."Nanigas ako mula sa aking kinatatayuan nang marinig ko ang kanyang boses na malapit sa amin.
My mind went blank.
Hearing his voice, feeling his presence near me and smelling his scent...
That scent...
It was the same perfume as before.
Bakit ba ako tumatakbo?
Ako ba yung may kasalanan?
Hindi naman ako yung nang-iwan ng walang dahilan.
Bumuntong-hininga ako at dahan-dahan humarap sa kanya.
Kitang-kita ang pagtaas ng sulok ng kanyang labi at bahagyang paglaki ng kanyang mata.
Hindi ako nagsalita. I just stared at him intently.
No anger nor pain can be seen in my eyes.
Emotionless.
I just want to show him what I have become.
Silence enveloped the whole house as our eyes collided.
No one dared to break it.
"Ahhh..ehem." Kuya Jason faked a cough that made him looked at kuya's side. "Good evening Sir."
