I FELT betrayed.

Betrayed by the world.

Tricked by Destiny.

And

Played by Fate.

I walked out of the hospital and went straight to a Pub. Gusto kong makalimutan lahat kahit isang araw man lang.

I know the pain won't go away by drinking myself out.

But

This is the only way i know that can make me feel numb for the meantime.

Pagka-pasok ko sa loob ay dumiretso agad ako sa bar counter.

Kilala ko ang may-ari ng pub na'to kaya madalas na dito ako pumupunta.

Mapait akong tumawa.

Dati. . . Palagi akong naririto para icelebrate ang achievements ko, birthdays, promotion, and other happy moments

Pero ngayon?

How can i celebrate huh?!

How can i pretend to be happy when i'm obviously not?

How can she forsook me?!

Ganon na ba ako kadaling kalimutan?

Ironic isn't it?

The sound of a chair being pulled made me come back to my senses.

May tumabi sa akin na babaeng naka-sleeveless white lacy top at black mini skirt.

She looks like a slut in that outfit. But when i looked at her face. . .

No. Actually she looks like a sexy angel. May naalala tuloy ako sa kanyan.

She turned towards me.
"What?! Gotta problem with me, dude?" She said.

I smirked. "Woah. Take it easy. Don't worry, i'm not trying to hit on you."

I took a sip of the scotch i got on hand.

Her face smoothened the moment i said that.

"Sometimes life is full of happiness, but why is it always fucking hard in every fucking way?" She muttered while gulping her drink.

Siguro may pinagdadaanan din to? I thought to myself.

Hindi lang pala ako ang may problema sa mundong ito. All of us has our own demons to slay.

"Life is hard, yes. But it's the challenges that makes us stronger. It gives us courage to face every obstacles we encounter." I answered.

Napabaling ang kanyang tingin sa akin.

"You know what dude? May point ka din. I came this far, bakit ngayon pa ko susuko? I committed many sins. Ba't ngayon pa ko aatras?"

I drank the last drop of scotch on my glass.

I smiled bitterly.

Buti pa siya. She has the guts to continue onward. Pero ako? I think not.

Ironic isn't it? Ako yung nagpayo pero ako pa etong pinanghihinaan ng loob.

Damnit.

If i could just turn back time. . .

"By the way, I'm Eriya Madrigal." Sabi niya sabay lahad ng kanyang kamay.

Ngumiti ako at nakipagkamay sa kanya. "Eriya, huh? Unique name. It suits your beautiful face."

Nagulat na lang ako when she smacked my shoulder.

Woah.

That was a strong one.

"What was that? Are you trying to hit on me, mister...?" Aniya.

I laughed back.

"No shit. I was just amazed by your guts. Naalala ko kasi yung babaeng mahal ko." I said.

Hindi ko sinasadyang mabanggit ang tungkol dun. But, i can't stop my mouth from spilling.

Gusto kong ilabas lahat ng frustrations ko.

"That girl must be super lucky... Tignan mo? Naalala mo pa siya kahit hindi mo siya kasama right now. It means ganon mo siya kapinapahalagahan. You love her. Conditionally or Unconditionally. Sa tingin ko ikaw yung tipo na, gagawin ang lahat kahit alam mong impossible. You're quite a nice guy. Damn that lucky bitch."

That statement hit me like a stone threwn from above.

Parang nagising ako sa katotohanan...

She can't remember me, right?

Why don't i start from square-one. Ang kilalanin at ligawan ito!

Her mind forgets but i'm sure her heart cannot.

Tumayo ako mula sa bar counter.

Kailangan ko itong puntahan!

Paalis na dapat ako nang magring ang aking telepono.

Mikaeli Ramos calling...

"Ye--" i was about to say something when he interrupted me.

"ALEJANDRO! Come here quick! Something happened to Miranda!!"
