Hindi ko alam kung paanong nakarating ako sa ganitong sitwasyon pero nakita ko nalang ang sarili kong nakasay sa kanyang kotse habang nasa driver's seat siya.
"Your seatbelt. You never changed, you always forgot to fasten your seatbelt."
I scoffed. "I've changed. You changed me," I answered bitterly.
Hindi ako nakarinig ng reponse sa kanya kaya itinuon o nalang ang attention ko sa labas. I'm annoyed at him plus the heavy rain that's starting to pour.
Bakit ba 'pag uulan, nawawalan ako ng gamit?
"I.." he paused, "I hurted you and I'm planning to do everything for you to accept me again."
Hindi ako sumagot sa kanya at tinitigan lang 'yung mga ulan na dumadaloy sa bintana.
Napapikit ako. This is fcking deja vou. Nangyari na ito dati but a lot of things changed. Almost six years ago, I was on the same seat with the same situatio
I'm sipping my wine in the veranda of the hotel room I'm in. Nakatingin ako sa mga bituwin na nasa langit. I wonder what is he doing right now.Nakasuot ako ng black satin nighties and a robe. It's 10 PM here in Hong Kong and this is the last night here. Bukas ng umaga ay uuwi na ulit ako ng Pilipinas.Three month here on Hongkong and focusing on myself really did helped me a lot. Ang isang buwan ay naging tatlo dahil pakiramdam kong mas kailangan ko pa ng oras. Now, I'm on the process of healing.I gained more confidence and I was able to forgive my father. Hindi naman talaga ako galit kay daddy, I'm just annoyed because he didn't told me anything about that.For Cupid's mom, I understand where her anger is coming from. Nagmahal lang siya, and it ruined her. Ayokong dumating sa point na gano'n kaya mabuti na rin sigurong lumayo ako sa loob ng tatlong buwan.
Love cannot live without trust. The words you can hear when you talk about Cupid. But how can you trust when they betray a lot of times? How are you able to trust that someone again when they were the one who broke it?Forgiveness. I learned that forgiveness brings back the trust that is once lost. If you're able to forgive, you'll be able to trust again."So how did you do it?" I asked him as I fasten the seatbelt. We're on our way back to the metro after he had lunch with my family.Kasama namin ang pamilya kong magtanghalian. We talked about all the things that happened and I'm glad that my family forgives Cupid. My father asked for our forgiveness as well as him for hurting me. Now, it's all good.He glanced at me as he drive. "Uh, I.." he paused, "I changed my perfume and learned how to change my voice.""Oh?""Yeah, if you remember, I
"Her name is Psyche Venice Azarcon. A 23 year old business management student." Inabot sa akin ni Hades ang papel na hawak niya. I looked through her basic informations. Her name, her age, her birthday, and more."Bakit wala siyang picture?" Napakunot ang noo ko.He shrugged. "She really don't post that much. Wala akong makuha. I can't find her instagram account either, hindi naman ako spy."I chuckled on what he said. I tapped his back and made my way out.Hawak ang papel ay sumakay ako sa kotse at nag drive papunta sa café ko. It's Valentine's, siguro ay marami ang costumer ngayon, lalo na sa main branch. My cafe is always special on Valentine's, of course, my name is Cupid.I arrived on a scene that made me creased my forehead . 'Yung lalaki, nag popropose sa girlfriend niya. Tss, nothing's gonna last forever.Imbes na sa harap ay dumaan ako s
"Good evening." Walang buhay na bati ko pagkapasok ko ng bahay. The lights were off and the house screams sadness.Dumiretso ako sa kuwarto ko para mag-ayos, ni hindi ko man lang ako nag-abala na buksan ang ilaw sa sala at sa loob ng kuwarto. To my surprise, my husband was there. Nakikita ko ang anino niya dahil sa liwanag ng buwan na nagmumula sa bintana.I can smell his familiar scent kahit ilang beses palang kaming nagkikita. I also know his built since I can only hold and see him in the dark.A-Anong ginagawa niya dito?Is it the time for his visit? He only comes here in our house thrice a month and leaves me frustrated, not letting me know his name and his face."What are you doing here?" Walang emosyon kong tanong sa kanya.Nagsimula siyang maglakad mula sa pagkakaupo papunta sa akin. He stopped in front of me and stared at me.I can feel his
"Order daw sa table 3, Venice, hinahantay na." Naramdaman ko ang pagtapik niya sa akin sa balikat. I felt relived when she called me by my second name. I really hate it when people call me Psyche.Agad naman akong tumalima kahit sobrang ramdam ko na ang pagod. Kinuha ko ang order na shake at piraso ng cake bago inilagay sa tray.Inayos ko muna ang suot ko bago ako lumabas. I need to look presentable dahil maraming costumers ngayon lalo na't Valentine's."Here's your order ma'am, enjoy po," I said with a smile as I serve her order."Are you a working student? You seemed young e." Napalingon ako sa babaeng pinag serve-an ko. She's looking at me, hindi bahala na kumakausap siya ng isang waitress ng café."Yes, ma'am. If you'll excuse me po, I still have a lot of things to do," I asked politely."Sure, I hope you enjoy your work." Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya. That's th
I'm on my way to the department store. Kanina pa ako nag-out sa work ko and now it's nearing 5 PM. Saturday naman ngayon kaya hanggang 4 lang ang work ko. Good thing wala akong pasok ng weekends.It's already three week since the proposal incident. We don't have our official break-up kaya tinext ko na siya, saying that I'm breaking up with him. Of course, wala naman siyang magagawa dahil siya 'yung nagloko.Alam na nila mommy na nakipagbreak ako kay Ryan, his name was Ryan by the way. Halos buong tatlong linggo na rin na 'yon ay napuyat ako dahil sa pag-iyak ko. I convinced my self to move on dahil kailangan kong magpahinga para sa trabaho at pag-aaral ko. Hindi ako pwedeng bumagsak dahil graduating ako, although hanggang ngayon ay umiiyak pa rin ako ng konti gabi-gabi and nagstress eating din.Nakakapagod. Nakakapagod masaktan pero masaya ang ma-inlove. Ang hirap kapag iiyak sa gabi at magkakaroon ng mental breakdown.
"C-Cupid," I stuttered as I called him.Mabilis akong humiwalay sa kanya ng mapagtanto ang posisyon namin. I can't get close to him anymore because it's getting akward, and.. and I can't stare in his eyes because I'm afraid I will drowned and cannot be saved.Bago pa siya makapagsalita ay narinig ko ang boses ni Lei."Pscyhe!" She called me.Halos mapa face palm ako dahil sa pagtawag niya sa first name ko. I really hate when people call me using my first name.She was running towards me, hindi pinansin ang nakatayong si Cupid sa tabi ko."Psyche! Did you know? My crush is here! Oh my god, I think, I'm gonna die." She said, over reacting.Natawa naman ako at napalingon kay Cupid na may maliit na ngiti. He's more handsome when he smile."Psyche! Are you listening to me?" Tanong niya sabay wagayway ng kamay sa harap ko."Yes, Aphrodite
"Can you please buckle your seatbelt?" Napalingon ako sa nagsalitang si Cupid.Ang kanyang kamay ay nakahawak sa steering wheel habang ang mata niya ay palipat-lipat ng tingin sa akin at sa daan.Tiningnan ko ang seatbelt na katabi ko. Yeah, I always forgot to buckle my seatbelt."Sorry." 'Yun nalang ang nasagot ko sa kanya. Nahihiya pa rin ako sa kanya although sabi niya sa akin na wag na. He said it's fine with him pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasang hindi mahiya.Nag ooverthink din ako, what if may gawin siyang masama, it's not that I'm saying that he's a bad person ha. I'm just stating a fact, I'm a girl and he's a guy. Pero hindi ko siya masisisi, I'm the one who asked him to let me stay so basically ako ang may utang.I looked at him while his eyes are glued on the road. Nakasuot nalang siya ngayon ng puting long sleeves since basa na ang coat niya. It was folded up to his arm and his biceps are sh
