Her Greatest Downfall

HGD48: THE PARTY AND THE THIRD PARTY

-

I WAS walking alone. Patuloy ang pagtulo ng aking luha habang tinatahak ang daan papunta kung saan.

Sobra akong nasaktan, at dahil doon ay narealize ko na hindi man lang nawala ang pag-ibig ko sakanya.

Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta, umalis kasi si Clive kasama si Danny, nagpunta sila sa bahay ni Danny sa Antipolo para ipakilala si Clive sa pamilya nito.

Muli akong naiyak ng marealize na hindi ko alam kung saan ba ako patungo.

"Hey, you're spacing out miss." I shook my head when I saw a man standing in front of me. We almost bump thankfully he stop before that happen.

"Acelle." A familiar voice filled my whole system.

"C-Crein." I said his name in tears.

He looked at me and his lips parted when he noticed my tears.

"You cried. Who did this to you?" He asks and he sounds concern.

Umiling ako at saka pinunasan ang luha at ngumiti.

"How are you?" I ask trying to be sounds happy.

"I'm good. I wanna ask you that too but it seems like the answer was visible." He said

"You're not okay." He said and place his two hands in both of my shoulder.

"Have you eaten already? " he asks.

Umiling ako. He sighed "let's eat." He said and held my hand.

"Wag na. Okay lang ako." Ngumiti ako pero umiling lang ito at saka ako hinitak papasok sa kotse nito.

I tried to calm myself by talking to him.

"Go on and eat." He said right after the food was serve.

Punong puno ang lamesa ng pagkain at inumin.

"I'm sorry, Ace. I know that it's too late for me to explain." He said

"It's okay. It's not your problem anyway. You're busy and I am so dumb to think that you don't prioritize me. " I smiled and starts eating.

"So, are we good now?" he asks

Tumango ako at ngumiti.
Sinubukan kong kumain ng marami pero wala akong gana.

"You're hurt because of someone don't you?" He asks

"Do I know the man behind your tears?" He asks again.

I wanna told him that he knew who it was but I refuse to tell him. It's not his part to know anyway. At isa pa, ano naman ang sasabihin ko sakanya? Na ang dahilan ng pag-iyak ko ay ang bodyguard ko dati na si Ram na ex-boyfriend ko na two years ago? That was funny to tell.

"I heard about your parents." He said

"Yeah, they were killed." I said

"I'm sorry, I wasn't there to comfort you."

"It's fine. "

"Where do you live now?" He asks

I excuse myself and went to the restroom. Naiyak ako ulit e, tinanong lang naman nya ako kung saan ako nakatira pero bakit naiiyak na naman ako?

Hindi na namin naubos ang pagkain, ni hindi nga nagalaw ang ibang pagkain kaya pinatake-out nalang namin at pinamigay sa mga homeless children sa labas.

"Thankyou for today, Crein." I said and smile.

"It's fine. It's my pleasure. So, aalis ka na?"

"Oo" sagot ko
