Montereal Bastards 3: To Chase A Playboy (COMPLETED) #WATTYS2017

50

DEIREEN

(The Ending)  No!!!!!! 

The smell of the concrete pavement after the heavy rain made no difference to my mood as I drag the heavy suitcase behind my back.

Pagkabalik ko kahapon sa unit ko, agad akong tumawag sa airline at nag book ng flight to the U.S the very next day. As soon as freakin' possible.

I know that it was a mistake to come back here.

I knew it.

Mom knew it.

But I persisted. Kasi baliw ako. Kasi bobo ako. Kasi kahit nasaktan na ako't lahat, gusto ko pa ring makita ang tao na nanakit sa akin.

All my dreams of having my sweet revenge vanished the moment that I set my eyes on him again.

For the first time, after nine months.

Still, I forced myself to continue. I conviced myself that hating him is the right way, the easy way, but I sooner found out that, getting your heart plucked  out of your body was way easier than hating the person whom you love the most.

Kulang na lang ay ipagtulakan ko ulit ang sarili ko sa kanya. Pero bumalik sa ala-ala iyong mga pagkakataon na ako na lang palagi ang nauuna, ang naghahabol. This time, I made him chase me.

The playboy chased me.

Grandly.

But in the end, he grew tired of it.

Nung makuha niya ang gusto niya sa akin, nanlamig ulit siya. Gaya ng sa iba niyang babae. He just looked at me and his eyes grew colder and colder as moments pass.

But strangely called me Isabelle before going away.

Why would he do that? That's my question. Bakit niya ako tatawaging Isabelle gayong nung mga unang araw at linggo, walang siyang ibang bukam-bibig kundi ang pangalan ko?

Iyon ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ako umalis agad. Gusto kong malaman kung anong dahilan ng panlalamig niya.

Ang kaso, kinabukasan pagkatapos naming mag-usap, sa kabila ng kabutihang-loob ko, sinigawan niya ako na  ganun talaga siyang uri ng tao.

Isang playboy. At hindi niya kailangan ang kahit na sino sa buhay niya.

Used me? Huh?!

Akala niya ba kasama ako sa mga tao na ginamit niya? I used him, for Pete's sake. I used him to move on, to get over my past. I used his body, his attention, I used him to purge myself from the nightmare that he brought in my life. This time, starting today, hindi na ako gagamitin muli ng kahit na sino? I am not a toy or a thing to be used and discarded again. When he realize who I am, malalaman natin kung sino ang naloko.

Sayang lang at wala na ako dito para makita ang pagbagsak niya.

The blast of cool air brushed my hair as I entered the foyer of the large airport. Mas hinigpitan ko ang pagkakayakap sa suot kong jacket at nagpatuloy sa paglakad papunta sa upuan na bakante. Alas sais pa ng gabi ang byahe ko kaya may dalawang oras pa akong pwedeng sayangin.

Isinuot ko ang malaki kong aviator glasses upang matabunan ang medyo namamasa kong mga mata. Leaving is never easy for me. And leaving him, the man of my dreams was a nightmare come to life.

But like a dreams, this one must also stop.

Kinuha ko ang paperback na nabili ko sa national book store kanina at binuksan iyon sa unang pahina. It was a story about an unrequited love entitled To Chase A Playboy, the third installment of a series made by a wattpad author named Missgladys. Hindi ko sigurado kung maganda ang kwento, but when I looked at the synopsis, nagulat ako na medyo may pagkakapareho ang kwento namin ng bidang babae kaya bumili ako.
