Arsen's POV

Napakuyom na lang ako sa strap ng bag na hinahawakan ko. Wala na nga ako sa Hughnorl pero dito naman napagpatuloy lahat nang sakit at selos ko sa kanila ni Cley.

Watching my brother can just easily hug her like that hurts like my heart's being beatin' so bad.

Di ko na lang sila pinansin at nagpatuloy na lang sa paglalakad. Naghanap ako nang pwesto kung saan walang tao at napaupo sa ilalim ng puno. Napasandal na lang at pilit pinapakalma ang sarili. I closed my eyes yet I can't stop but to let my tears fell down my cheeks.

I wanna do that. I WANNA FUCKING DO THAT.

I MISS HER A LOT AND EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY NA NAGKITA KAMI ULIT KO MAN LANG SIYA MAKAUSAP NG MAAYOS.

How can I heal if this hurts so bad?

"Arsen?"

Nilingon ko si Zace na nakatayo lang malapit sa inuupuan ko at nilapitan ako.

"what's the matter?" he asked

"Nothing. You better keep going." I just want him to leave me alone.

"Nope. I have 20 minutes vacant time." Hence he sat down sa harapan ko at kinuha mga gamit niya sa bag niya. Nagsimula siyang magbasa nang libro. Tss.

"Anong iniiyak iyak mo dyan. Almost 2 years ka lang nawala nakalimutan mo na ang kompetisyon."

"What are you talking about"

He stopped reading and looked at me with a smirky look.

"Kelan pa? Pag kasal na si Xhesica at Cley? Well I am not a mind reader but I if that woman you banged is your new standard then fine."

That fucking sounds so awkward. Although naging friends with benefits kami ni Gelo ay I know I am not the same Arsen I was almost 2 years ago and still..... Xhesica is my only standard. The respect is hers, always...

Yumuko na lang ako at pumikit. I just can't fake how sad I am.

"I... I just want her to be happy. Kahit pa habang buhay akong magselos at masaktan, kakayanin ko basta masaya siya. I know for sure Cleyou has that role." why the hell we have this cringe conversation with one of Sica's admirer slash my older brother?

"Well, well hope the same thing for her. It's  just that.... Those years that you're gone, she also wasted all of her tears blaming herself thinking that it's all her fault"

My heart beats so fast like I can't even believe I heard it. Did he just said she cried for me? And she blamed herself of what happened?

"Shut up dude, you're just trying to groom me" I'm starting to get emotional again. Damn. This fucking feelings of mine...

"I am not making this up to cheer you or what. I appreciate how Cley takes good care of her but we all knew, she missed you. If she just had one wish sure thing she'll ask to get you back but yeah, good thing she no longer need a Genie now."

That's impossible. Di niya magagawa yun. I bet she better let me die to all the things I did. She's just guilty because she's a good person. She felt pity to anyone, anybody.

"Stop the crap. This is not funny anymore" *wipes tears and hands are shaking*

"You know what, you still have lots of chance to prove it to her. Sica has the kindest heart and she's smart. She might misinterpreted you before but here's now. Whoever she'll end up with, it would be best it's either with us. Kidding aside, wala na kami chance dalawa ni Quirt, at least iisa sa inyong dalawa. I'm not biased here. Cley is a good guy, though you're not as charming as him but, you'll be a good partner for her. Good luck Arsen." after patting my back, he stand up and started to walk.

My heart is smiling but I can't stop being sad. Still, I don't know what to do. How to get even close to her.

FLASHBACK

"You just heard me right? Anjan na si Cley at masaya ako sa kanya. Can you please stop fooling around?"

"Seryuso ako *sobs* mag eexplain ako about what happened between me and Gelo."

"Pleaaase" diin niya. "Tama na, I... I don't care. Then... let's end everything here and making all clear that there is nothing between you and me."

END OF FLASHBACK

If it's true that she blamed herself, then I'll be sorry but expecting more from that will be impossible.

SICA'S POV

After class ay dumaan muna ako sa palengke para bumili nang maiulam. Di na ako nahatid pa ni Cley kasi may dalawa pa siyang class.

As I wander to look something to cook ay napansin ko ang isang pamilyar na sasakyan.

Ito yung sasakyan at store kung saan nakita ko si Arsen. Nang maalala ko yun ay agad bumilis ang tibok nang puso ko at bahagyang napaatras. Ramdam ko ulit kung paano ako umiyak habang hinahabol yung sasakyan.

Speaking of Arsen, di nga ako nagkamali, I can now confirmed that it was him. I wasn't wrong at all. Nanginig na lang bigla mga pisngi ko at dali daling nagpahid ng mga luha.

"Ang sipag naman ng delivery boy namin"

"Nah, I should have work harder, school is tough as well as the bills"

"hayan ka na naman, wag mo kasi kami iniingles kasi di naman kami amerkano hahahahah!"

"sorry po, I am really not that good in speaking but I am trying hard naman. Pinapasabi ni papa that the cabbages will be ready by next week if gusto niyo po."

I am really in shock right now. How can he interact with these people like they knew each other for so long. He really looked, so different at this moment.

"Oo naman, kukuha kami ng dalawang kahon. Napaka ganda ng gulay niyo kaya lage sold out eh. Siya nga pala ito bayad."

"Salamat po. See you next week then."

"salamat din! Ingat ka hijo!"

Tumalikod na ako't nagsimulang maglakad paalis. I can't stop smiling. I am glad he is living a happy life now. Akala ko sila Cley, Zace at Quirt lang nabago ang buhay. Pati rin pala si Arsen. For in fact, sa kanilang tatlo siya talaga ang malaki ang pagbabago.

*BEEEEEEP*

Napasinghap na lang ako nang may bumusinang sasakyan sa gilid ko.

"Hop in. Hatid na kita"

Arsen...
