A feeling that I've never known I'm dealing with it on my own Phone is quiet, walls are bare
I drink myself to sleep, who cares?
No one even has to know
I'm dealing with it on my own
I got way too much time to be this hurt
Somebody help, it's getting worse
What do you do with a broken heart?
Once the light fades, everything is dark
Way too much whiskey in my blood
I feel my body giving up
Can I hold on for another night?
What do I do with all this time?
Every thought's when it gets late
Put me in a fragile state
I wish I wasn't going home
Dealing with it on my own
I'm praying but it's not enough
I'm done, I don't believe in love
Learning how to let it go
Dealing with it on my own
I got way too much...
MATT
It has been two months since the last time I walked out that house. Walked out of her life. Walked out of our life. Life has not been back to the normal that we grew up living. We have to have social distancing, we have to have wear masks. Everything has been different. Wala pang nakakaalam na wala na kami. Only the people in our houses. Ang alam lang ng iba masyadong busy kami sa trabaho , masyadong maraming ginagawa kaya hindi nakakauwi si Tina and hindi rin ako nakakapunta sa Manila. Yung mga gamit niya nandito pa din pati rin yung mga gamit ko nandu n pa din sa bahay sa Manila. I have paid the whole year rent kaya wala siyang babayaran dun. I have not filed the annulment yet. No time? Ewan ko. Maybe I have not found the right time to do it.
"Sir, may invitation po kayo ni Congresswoman sa birthday party ng Mommy ni Congresswoman sir. "
"May imbitasyon ba si Tina?"
"Wala sir, iisa lang yan. Sa inyong dalawa na po yan."
"Okay, salamat Ethel ha."
"Welcome, Sir."
Bakit sa akin ibinigay ang imbitasyon. Tsaka, kailangan ba naming pumunta? Kailangan ko bang pumunta dun? Hindi pa ba nila alam na wala na kami? Hindi iya sinabi?
TINA
"Hello? Mommy?"
"Tina, I sent your invitation for my birthday to your house in Brighton."
"Huh? You did Mommy?"
"Oo, bakit hindi pa ba sinasabi ni Matt? Iniwan kay Ethel yung invitation."
"Baka nandun na mommy. Baka mamaya pa niya sasabihin sa akin. Busy yun, Alam mo naman ang daming trabaho sa probinsiya."
"Okay, sige, I'll see you on Saturday ha? Umuwi ka."
" Nagpaalam ba kayo sa governor or mayor na magpapaparty kayo? Bawal ang gathering Mommy. "
" Family gathering yun. Mga biyenan mo mom and dad ni Matt, si Matt, your Dad and I. Dinner lang yun, "
" Busy kasi dito eh. Tsaka makakapunta daw ba si Matt? "
" Natural. Siya lang ang manugang namin kaya pupunta qyun. At mag isang anak lang kita kaya pupunta ka."
" Mommy.,"
And she put down the phone on me.
Mobile phone ringing
Si Matt? Bakit ito tumatawag?
"Hello"?"
" Babe, tinawagan ako ni Mommy. Pinipilit akong pumunta sa party niyo. Tayong dalawa daw."
" Tumawag nga siya sa akin. Kakabana ko lang yung phone."
" Ano uuwi ka ba? Pupunta ba tayo?"
" No choice."
" Okay. Sa bahay ka ba uuwi or sa inyo?"
"Sa bahay. Di pa nila alam eh."
" Okay sige. Ipapasundo ba kita sa airport or kotse?"
" By land kami. Mahirap na madami pa din Covid positive eh. Ayokong sumakay sa public transpo. Nakakatakot pa."
" Sige. Text me kung anong oras kayo aalis. "
" Okay."
" Sige. How are you?"
" Ok lang. Ikaw?"
" Hindi ok."
" Bakit?"
" Alam mo na siguro."
" Okay. Sige Text na lang kita. Ingat."
Ikaw din ingat. See you."
"Ok. Bye."
"Bye"
