"Cebu?"
Halos maghisterya na si Mommy habang patuloy ang pagsunod sakin.
"Why would you wanna be there?" there was panic in her voice.
Dito na agad ako dumiretso sa villa namin sa Quezon City pagkatapos ng nangyari. I didn't bother dropping by at the condo to get anything. Crossing paths with the cheater is the very least thing that I want right now.
Dire-diretso ang lakad ko papunta sa kwarto. I didn't bother giving my Mother a glance. Pinigilan kong manginig ang boses.
"Just let me live with Abuela, Mom." tukoy ko sa Lola ko.
Her mouth hang wide open when I started entering my walk-in closet.
"Yara, can you calm down? Cebu... that's.. miles away from here! From your home!" she exclaimed with fright.
I sighed.
"But that's exactly what I need right now." I turned to her with a serious expression. "To be far away from here,"
Her face fell in dejection.
"Sweetie... what happened?" she slowly asked. A sense of apprehension was evident in her voice.
I stared at her. Void of any emotion. Only a stoic expression. Everything just made feel so numb. And dead beat too.
"Sky has someone else." the words instantly stung as soon as they came out from my mouth.
Unti-unting nagparte ang labi niya.
Umiwas ako ng tingin. Binaha na naman ang isipan ko ng alaala mula sa nangyari kanina, dahilan para bumalik ang pagpilipit ng sikmura.
"This affiance ain't going anywhere, Mom." I bit the insides of my cheek. "Especially when the other half doesn't genuinely want to be involved in this wedlock."
I can't believe how a mere few minutes of my lifetime can affect me this much. That cursed photo from earlier keeps on flashing in my mind. It's tormenting me.
My brain just won't stop from thinking about Sky actually kissing another girl. I keep on imagining it. Those same pair of lips. Those exact same pair of lips that I kissed.
Tuwing naaalala ko kung paano ko pinangunahan ang paghalik sa kanya sa isla ay binabalot ako ng matinding pighati. I feel so desperate. The thought of me initiating the kiss just because he probably won't ever want to do it with me is beyond embarrassing. The notion is devastating. Napaka-desperada ko. Para akong uhaw na uhaw at nanlilimos ng kung ano.
What did he say again? Hindi pa pwede? Lies. It makes me want to scoff in loathe. Hindi pa pwede my ass. He was actually able to do it with someone without event blinking. I guess he just really have to genuinely like the person, then. That way, no second thoughts would be needed.
