Faded Love

V.

"JVP JVP JVP JVP" Paulit ulit kong binabanggit yung initials na sinabi ni Hannah. I don't remember someone who has an initials of JVP.

Nandito ako ngayon sa kwarto, lying in my bed, it's already 10:30 in the morning but hindi pa din ako bumabangon, hindi pa din talaga ako makamove on sa panaginip na 'yon.

"Kuya!" Napabalikwas ako dahil sa gulat. Hannah entered my room without even knocking?! Ugh this girl. "My god, Hannah! Don't you know how to knock?!" I said at pinagmulatan siya ng mata.

She chuckled and sat on my bed, "Chill kuys! I came here without knocking because I'm so excited to tell you something," She said, nagulat ako dahil doon.

"Huh? What is it! Tell me!" Sabi ko, tumawa ulit siya psh I think she's trying na mainis ako, but hell no. "Miss ka na daw ni Alliah" She whispered.

Oh my gosh, Hannah. I thought you're gonna say that you already found the girl with JVP initials. Ugh, she only came here to tease me! Nagbago bigla ang mood ko because of that, I'm trying to move on from her but my family keeps on mentioning her name. I know that they wanted Alliah to be my girl for the rest of my life but we can't do about that na. Can't they understand that Alliah's engaged with a guy and that's not me.

"Get out." I tried to calm myself, ayokong masaktan yung kapatid ko dahil sisigaw ako, I will never do that to my siblings just because I'm mad.

"I'm just kidding Kuya," She said and made a sad face. "I know but please leave me alone muna," I said at nagbuntong hininga. I can see na medyo na- guilty si Hannah dahil sa ginawa niya. "Sorry Kuya," Tumango lang ako and gave her a tipid smile. She left my room agad.

"When will I be happy for you? I hope someday even people around me will mention your name, I will just smile and be fine, I will forget you Alliah, wait for it." I thought.

Hindi ko napansin na nakatulog pala ako. I turned on my phone and checked my social media accounts. I'm scrolling through my facebook but suddenly I saw something na lalong nakasakit ng damdamin ko, Tita Sela, mom of Alliah, posted a photo of Alliah, showing her proposal ring, looking so beautiful and happy, she's really happy. Wow. You already found you're true happiness. I hope I can find mine too.

I looked at the clock and it's 7 pm na pala, grabe, I didn't ate lunch, and now hindi din ako kumain ng dinner. Wala lang talaga kong gana bumaba at kumain.

I texted Dom and some of my friends.

To Dom:

Hey bro, can we go out tonight? I'm so bored af.

And sent it to Dom.

I closed my eyes and ipinatong ko ang braso ko sa mukha ko, it's my position for like 10 minutes until my phone vibrated, it's a text message from Dom.

From Dom:

Okay bro, see you

Thank God for Dom.

So, Dom and I are friends since we were kids, we met because of our parents, they know each other and ayon, sobrang tagal na nung pagkakaibigan namin, here is a little secret, my sister Hannah, has a crush on him.

"Hey bro! Ano na balita and bakit ka nga pala biglang nag akit?" Bati sa akin ni Dom.

We're already here sa bar with Dom and some of our friends. Bakit nga ba ako nag- akit? I don't even know.

"Tss masama bang mag- akit lumabas? And isa pa meron na akong nalalaman,"

He didn't answer because sobrang ingay dito, we don't understand each other.

Nakakailang bottle na din ako, sobrang lasing ko na ata pero who cares? I can handle my self. "Donny, lasing ka na, paano ka uuwi?" Dom asked.

"Magda- drive Dom, tanga ka ba? Di mo alam 'yon?"

"Jusko, you're drunk, you need to go home" He commanded.

Hindi ako nagpatinag kay Dom, hinawakan ko ang kwelyo ng damit niya, "Bakit ganon Dom? Bakit ako pa yung naiwan? Bakit kailangan ako pa yung masaktan ng ganito? Bakit tayo nagmamahal ng taong hindi naman magiging atin hanggang huli? Hindi ba pwedeng magmahal ng hindi nasasaktan? Hindi ba pwedeng maging masaya nalang habang buhay?" Ang gaspang na ng boses ko dahil sa sobrang kalasingan.

"Lilipas din 'yan" Iyon lang ang huli kong narinig kay Dom, sa pagkakaalam ko, inihatid na niya ako.
