Compathy

Weighing feelings

"Sino mas mahal mo sa'min ng ex mo?" He was caught off guard with my question. Namumula ang mata ko at halatang pinipigilan ang pag iyak.

"Ey, ba't mo naman natanong?"

"Why? Bawal ba? Why can't you just answer that!" Napailing iling lang siya.

"Hmm, ewan." I looked below. What kind of answer is that?

"S-so mas m-mahal mo siya?" He smiled. Pinaharap niya ako sa'kaniya.

"No. Let's just say na,mahal ko siya dati,the same love na binibigay ko sayo ngayon. Hindi ko sinasabing parehas,pero alam kong wala namang pinagkakaiba."

"H-huh? Pwede ba yun?" He chuckled.

"Siguro,ewan. Ganun yun sa'kin eh. Kasi pag sinabi kong mas mahal kita, edi parang 'nung kami hindi ko siya gaanong minahal. And kung wala siya,hindi rin naman magiging tayo ngayon."

"Oh. I-if babalik s-siya,tatangapin mo pa ba?" I looked at him. Tumingin siya sa taas,parang nagiisip.

"Yes,why not right? Besides may pinagsamahan din kami. I'll accept her,but not in my life, kasi meron na akong ikaw." I smiled at him,which he reciprocated.

"Hays,wag mo na yung pagselosan ha? Past na siya,ikaw na rin naman ang present at future ko."

And now I'm at the aisle,looking at them. They look happy together. Yes he's now married. Sa babaeng sinabi niyang wag kong pagseselosan.
