Chapter 10 - Closure

KATH'S POV

Di parin kami naguusap ni DJ, actually, ako lang pala ang di kumakausap sakanya. Nagtetext siya, tawag ng tawag pero hindi ko sinasagot. 2 araw na mula nung nangyari yung incident na yun sa bahay nila at sa mall. Kahapon nagtry pumunta si DJ pero hindi ko siya binaba. Ayaw ko muna makipagusap sakanya. Masakit pa eh. Sobra.

Di ako nagmumukmok sa bahay or what. In fact, ngayon papunta ko sa park. Wala lang, magpapahangin. May kung anong nagsasabi sakin na pumunta sa park ngayon.

Naupo lang ako sa swing. Nakatulala. Blanko.

Naramdaman ko na may umupo sa tabing swing kaya napatingin ako.

Pero, sa nakita ko, napatingin nalang ulit ako sa harap ko. Sa kawalan.

"Cha."

Oh god. His voice. I havent heard that for years. And now he's here. Kalma Kath. Si Albie lang yan.

"Albie." Ako

"Kamusta?" Albie

"Im good. Better than ever. Ikaw?" Tama Kath. Try to act cool.

Kahit pala ilang taon na lumipas, pag kaharap ko na siya. Naaalala ko parin yung sakit.

"Yung totoo? Im not fine. I miss you Cha. I miss you so damn much." Albie

Miss me? Oh cmon!

Shit. I didn't walk away, you let me go.

"Enough of your lies Albie."

"Im not lying Cha. Ang tanga ko for letting you go before. Cha... I want you back. I would do anything to have you back. God knows kung gaano ko nagsisisi sa nangyari satin. Ang tanga-tanga ko for not seeing all your efforts back then. You did everything to show me how much I mean to you and Im such a jerk not to notice that." Albie

"You never saw me Albie. You never did, wanna know why? Cause your eyes are focused on her, that's why. I loved you a great deal. And you what, you fucking took me for granted. You know how much I loved you before. I can move heaven and earth for you. I exerted too much effort on you. And you still chose to break me. That time Albie, you can either make or break me. Too bad you chose to break me. You fucking break every piece of me. And now you want me back. Sorry, but I dont want you back. Not now. Not ever."
