CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

"Kamusta ang mga bata?" tanong ko kina Lyzza at Erica, magka-videocall kami ngayon dahil wala kaming magawa buhay.

Huminga nang malalim si Erica bago ito magsalita. [Ayun daddy's boy na!]
[H'wag niyo na ako'ng tanungin, simula magkasama na silang mag-ama, ayaw na niyang iwan ang tatay niya. Napakulit talaga!] Lyzza smiled.

I smiled softly. They were enjoying it. Then suddenly, I remembered something and got excited to ask.

"Tuloy na ba talaga? Excited na ako Erica. Basta walang iiyak sa araw mo!" excited kong sambit.

Sa tingin hanggang ngayon hindi na mawawala ang gan'yang treatment nila. Sayang lang, kung narito pa si Kenzo, mas masaya pa sana.

[Sana ako rin. . .] Bigla kong sambit sa linya ng telepono.

I'm still grappling with what I said, so I decided to end the call. Loving is tough. That's the constant thought in my mind ever since the person I thought would stay in my life left, becoming a painful part of my past. It stings, but I feel powerless because even fate seems to be against me.

Is there any way to change what's destined for me?

Kung mababago ko man iyon, magiging masaya ba ako?

Life can be tough!

Before I give everything away, I need to save some for myself. It's important to love myself first before others. I've always believed that I should prioritize my own well-being, so that even if I'm hurt, I still have something left to rebuild. While I'm the one feeling torn apart, I also strive to make him whole again.

But. . . I constantly find myself fighting to piece myself back together, and for our relationship, hoping it will make me whole again.

Unknown Number:
I'll be waiting for you.

Unknown Number:
See you at seven in the evening, alright?

Unknown Number:
Take care, my love.

Kumunot ang noo ko sa isang messages. Unknown Number? Hihintayin niya ako? Ready na ba ako? Pakiramdam ko kilala ko na itong nagmensahe sa akin.

Kilalang-kilala ko na kung sino siya!

Unknown Number:
Please save my number. I'm ready to explain everything to you.

Unknown Number:
Come and hear me out. I'll tell you everything.

I closed my eyes, contemplating whether to save his number or not.

Should I give him a chance?

I replied, saying we'll meet when it's convenient for me. But lately, as the days pass, I find myself getting anxious. Anxious that I might have nothing left to return to. Anxious that he might find someone else to love.

But perhaps that's the beauty of loving him for who he is.
Pero paano na ako? Makakaya ko ba?

"Shainny, pupunta ba ako?" tanong ko sa sarili. "Shain! Paano na?! Paano kung aalis na siya?"
