ANDREA'S P.O.V.
Days had passed since what happened there. Hindi kami nagpapansinan ni Grae. Umiiwas ako, at ganon din siya. Sumuko na ba siya? Napagod na kaya siya?
Hindi ko maiwasan mapaisip. Mahirap akong paamuhin, oo. Pero, akala ko ba mahal niya ko? Kung talagang mahal niya ko, hindi niya ko susukuan. Hindi siya susuko ng ganon kabilis lang.
Hindi ko sinasabing hindi niya ko mahal, kasi naramdaman ko rin naman. Pero, bakit ganon? Hindi ba niya ko magawang ipaglagan kagaya ng ginawa ko noon? Pinaglaban ko siya sa lahat. Kasi mahal na mahal ko. Kasi hindi ko kayang mawala.
Pero siguro nga, sadyang ako yung mas nagmahal. Ako yung mas lumaban. Ako yung mas umasa na kaya naming lampasan lahat ng magkasama. I expected too much, that's why I am hurting too much.
"Ayaw mo maligo shobe? Haha. Tara! Sulitin natin. Ngayon lang natin na-experience ang ganito", nakangiting sabi ni ate Kyara
Nandito kasi kami sa Nalvo Beach. Sa, Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur. Maganda siya actually. First time namin magpunta sa ganito eh.
"Mamaya achii. Sunod ako", sagot ko
Nandun kasi silang lahat. Kung yung iba naliligo, yung iba naman naglalaro ng volleyball. And they look so happy. Masaya na din ako na nakikita ko silang masaya. I'm contented with that.
"Oh sige, bahala ka. Haha. Bantayan mo na lang yang tulog diyan", sabi ni ate Kyara
Saka na siya bumalik don. Napatingin naman ako sa gilid ko.
Nandito kasi si Ares. Nakahiga siya sa lap ko, tas natutulog. Pagod sa byahe eh. Kaya umidlip muna.
"Don't look at him like that",
Napatingin ako sa nagsalita, and I saw Grae. Just like before, I cannot read him.
"Ano bang masama kung tignan ko siya?", sagot ko sa kanya
"Okay lang na tignan mo siya. But please, don't look at him the way you look at me", sabi ni Grae
Unti-unting nanghina ang boses niya habang sinasabi yon sakin. I felt the pain from his voice. His voice almost cracked. And it hurts me.
"I am not", sagot ko
Napabuntong-hininga lang siya. Pero bigla siyang ngumiti. I see pain from that smile. He never smiled like that. This was the first time I saw him smiled like that.
"Chevrolet, I admit I'm such a jerk. I'm such an a**hole. But believe me, I am hurt. I am badly hurt. I am badly broken. I have a deep wound right here in my heart. Alam ko mahirap ibalik ang tiwala mong sinira ko. But when I'm serious, it means I am serious. And when I say I love you, it means I really do", sabi niya
Saka na siya umalis at pumunta kila kuya Spade na ngayon ay naglalaro.
"Oh, wag mong masyadong titigan. Baka matunaw. Puso mo, hulog na", sabi ni Ares
Napatingin ako sa kanya pero nakapikit pa rin siya.
"Alam mo, hindi masama ang magbigay ng isa pang chance. Kung alam mong worth it naman, bakit hindi mo pagbigyan? Mahal mo diba? Fight for him", sabi niya
"Bakit mo ko tinutulak sa kanya? Why can't you just pull me? Why do you keep on pushing me to Grae?", sabi ko
"Because I am Ares. I am not Grae", sagot niya
I don't get it.
"Ares will choose where will he see you happy. Ares will choose to sacrifice his life to make you live. Ares will do everything to make you happy even if it means giving you up. Ares will do anything just to keep you smiling. Ares will love you until he dies. But Ares will always be Ares. Ares is just one call away. Ares will just be by your side no matter what happens. Ares will choose to be hurt just so he would see you happy. Even if with another guy. It hurts, but that's all Ares can do", sagot niya
