Never Really Over (COMPLETE)

Nang magsimulang umangat ang eroplano ay narinig ni Jodie ang mahinang pagsinghap ng katabi. Pagbaling niya ay mariing nakapikit ito, at mababaw ang paghinga na parang magha-hyperventilate pero halatang pilit iyong nilalabanan.

Puwedeng hindi na lang niya pansinin, kunwari ay hindi niya nakita pero naunang mag-isip ang kamay niyang hunawak aa kanay nito at marahang hinaplos iyon.

His breathing seemed to even out then, as his eyes relaxed. When he opened them, she was looking right at him, checking if he's feeling much better.

"I'm fine, thanks," Jamie curtly said as he pulled his hand from her grasp, then turned his attention to his cellphone. Sandaling hindi siya makapaniwalang nakatingin dito, bago nag-iinit ang pisnging ibinaling ang atensyon sa bintana - sa karagatan ng ulap kung saan bahagyang sumisilip ang araw.

At ang agad niyang naalala ay ang umaga nila aa tuktok ng Mount Pulag isang taon bago sila maghiwalay. It was their third year anniversary. Everything seemed permanent then, and she loved it that way.

Now, they're just strangers, forced to still be somehow together even if they didn't want to have anything to do with each other anymore.
