"Ano bang tanong yan. Of course trabaho mo yan diba?" natatawang sabi niya sabay tapik niya sa akin. "That's why I wanted you to plan everything about our wedding!" tuloy-tuloy niyang sabi. "Besides, napag-usapan na namin to ni Patrick!" dugtong niya.
Ako talaga?
"Say Yes, please. Ayoko sa iba. I wanted you to be part of everything, Alex. Ganon kita ka-love!" She even pouted while pinching my nose. "And of course you will be my maid of honor!" dugtong niya.
"Really? But–"

"Here", he offered me his handkerchief. He is sitting beside me, looking at the cross. Tinitigan ko lang siya. Kitang-kita ko na ngayon ang mga peklat niya sa noo. I wanted to ask him pero hindi ko parin magawa."I'm sorry for pretending not to know you," he started talking.I smiled not looking at him. "Mas mabuti na rin yun. Ayoko rin na malaman ni Miyah o ni Ken." Pagsisinungaling ko."Nasanay na rin ako sa ganitong set-up," dugtong ko.Pagkatapos nun wala nang nagsalita sa amin. Kapwa kami tahimik na nakaupo habang nakatingin sa malaking cross sa harapan namin. Ang dami-dami ko ulit gustong sabihin pero mas minabuti ko nalang na manahimik. Mas ayokong makigulo ngayong ikakasal na silang dalawa.Naabutan na kami ng ulan sa Cebu. Pabalik na kami ng Manila nang masiraan kami ng sasakyan along the road. We are in the middle of nowhere. Hindi ko kabisado ang daan pati na rin siya.

Nahihirapan na akong huminga dahil sa sobrang pag-iyak. I really don't know what happened after that night. All these years I resented him and missed him at the same time for leaving me hanging. "I am really sorry, Alex. Hindi ko alam,"I said between my sobs. Hindi ko talaga alam! "I can't remember clearly what happened that night. I was drunk and I drove Tito's car papunta sa inyo." He paused. I can clearly see how confused he is while telling me his story. "The next thing I know I was in a comma for two fucking months!" What? I just keep on saying sorry. Wala akong makitang salita maliban sa "sorry". "It was my fault. I'm really sorry,"paulit-ulit kong sabi sa mga salitang iyon. "You know what hurts me most?" He asked me while crying."It's the fact that you didn't look for me."

"I wan't you back, Pumpkin... I want you back in my life!"Hindi ako makasagot. I wanted him back as much as he wanted pero pano? Mas magiging kumplikado lang ang sitwasyon. May kanya-kanya na kaming buhay at hindi ko kayang traydurin at gaguhin pa ang kaibigan ko.I want you back, too!"No, Patrick. Stop it!" Putol ko sa kanya. Ayokong lumala pa ang kung anong meron sa aming dalawa. "Tapos na tayong maging selfish, okay. Let's not make the situation more complicated. Paano si Miyah? Paano si Ken? Sa tingin mo hindi sila masasaktan sa mga padalos-dalos na desisyon natin?" litanya ko sa kanya. Hindi siya musagot, alam ko nag-iisip siya.Pero pano nga ba tayo?Patrick's POVAlex is right. I shouldn't have proposed to Miyah if hindi pa ako ready. Everything was already set, even the date of our wedding.How am I gonna escape from this mista

Patrick's POVCall me a cheater, gago, walang hiya o kung ano pang pwedeng itawag sa akin dahil aminado ako. I was sailing two rivers at a time na alam ko namang masyadong imposible. I just wanted Alex to be mine again, but I couldn't find the courage to tell Miyah the truth. Hindi ko alam kung gaano ko masasaktan si Miyah kapag sinabi ko sa kanya ang totoo. I feel responsible for not telling her everything about my past. Siguro kung naging totoo lang ako sa kanya sa umpisa pa lang hindi magiging ganito ka-kumplikado ang lahat. Nagagalit ako sa tuwing magkasama si Alex at Ken. I know, wala akong karapatan pero masisisi mo ba ako? I've been longing for Alex for six fucking years. At ngayong alam ko na ang nagyari, I should make things right... soon."Eifel Tower please?" Alex is talking to Miyah while finger crossing."Can we do it later, sissy? Ang sakit pa kasi ng ulo ko."mahinang sabi ni Miyah.

Alex's POVNakauwi na kami sa Pilipinas. Parang ang bilis nang panahon dahil sa sobrang dami ng nangyari sa loob ng limang araw.Today's our 15th monthsary. Ken invited me to his pad. I know hindi ko rin alam kung paano siya haharapin. Ayoko nang patagilin pa dahil nilalamon na ako ng kunsensiya ko. Ilang minuto ko ring tinitigan ang doorbell bago ko yun pinindot. After what happened to Paris, I know Ken deserves someone who's loyalty and honestly won't fade away. Ken deserves someone better than me."Hija, kanina ka pa ba? Ba't di ka pumasok?"tanong ng Mama niya sa akin. Nahuli niya akong nakatayo lang sa harap ng pintuan nila."Yes, Tita! Papasok na nga po ako,"bawi ko sa kanya. Mas lalo akong nakonsensiya habang kausap ang Mama niya. His family has been so good to me ever since."Come."Pagpapatuloy niya sa akin."Oh! You're here, baby."

Alex's POVSince the day Ken bid his final goodbyes hindi na ako nagmukmok ng kwarto. Instead, I took good care of Mom's garden. Isa sa mga libangan ni Mom ang pag-aalaga ng mga bulaklaK. Actually, silang dalawa ni Dad. Nakakatuwang pagmasdan silang dalawa na masayang nagku-kwentuhan habang dinidiligan o di kaya'y inaalisan nga mga lantang dahon at mga damo ang mga bulaklak na pinakaiingat-ingatan nilang dalawa. Saksi ang garden sa pagmamahalan nilang dalawa. Saksi din ito sa una, pangalawa, tatlong away na meron silang dalawa. Saksi din ito sa paghihiwalay nilang dalawa. Katulong nalang ang nag nag me-maintain nito simula ng umalis siya. I don't like plants dahil naiisip ko palagi ang kataksilan ni Mom kay Dad noon. I don't wanna be my Mom pero parang nagmana nga ako sa kanya. I cheated and betrayed Miyah. I still feel the pain of my betrayals to her. Hindi ko lubos maisip na sa dinami-dami ng naitulong ni Miyah sa akin, kataksilan pa ang isusukli ko

Alex's POV"C'mon, lapitan mo na. I'm fine."I know Miyah's not fine. I know how much she's holding para lang sa kapakanan ko.Hindi mo ako deserved maging kaibigan, Miyah.Mas lalo akong naiyak ng makita si Patrick. I really missed him. Finally, no more holding backs."Go!" Tulak sa akin ni Miyah. Tiningnan ko si Miyah sa mata at kitang-kita ko ang lungkot ng mga ito. Nagpakawala si Miyah ng isang napakapaklang ngiti na alam kong dahilan ng kanyang mga pighati sa mga oras na ito."But–"Nilingon ko si Miyah pero nag-cheer lang siya sa akin.Tumakbo ako papalapit kay Patrick. He is smiling. I know just like me he is waiting for this moment, na maging okay na ang lahat. This time no more hiding. This time no more "but's and "how's." This time, wala na kaming dapat na ikabahala. This time, okay na kami. Okay na ang lahat. Niyakap ko lang s

Patrick's POVShe kissed me. Parang nagwawala ang puso ko sa sobrang kaba. Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang kuryenteng dumadaloy sa buo kong katawan.It seems familiar...Hindi ko alam pero parang nagyari na ito. Hindi ko alam kung paano. Hindi ko alam kung saan, kelan at kung kanino.I wanted to remember everything."That's how you'll gonna remember me!" masaya niyang sabi at iniwan akong naka-estatwa.Simula ng mangyari ang halik na iyon, hindi na mawala sa isip ko ang ginawa ni Alex. She keeps appearing to my eyes. I don't know, but since that day I keep missing that ugly duckling.Anong ginagawa niya ngayon?She keeps insisting na girlfriend ko siya na gayong wala naman talaga akong maalala ni isa sa mga pinagsasabi niya. Wala akong maalala for the last 8 years. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit nasa hospital ako kasama siya that day.Something

Patrick's POVWhat?What did you do?I told you to run!I told you to ask for help!Why are you still here?Why did you save me?"Alex!" Sigaw ni Ken habang hinahawakan ang ulo niya. Itinapon niya ang baril at lumapit kay Alex habang niyayakap ito. Hindi niya rin inaasahan na sasaluhin ni Alex ang balang para sa akin. "Anong ginawa mo?" All I could hear was the loud crying voice of Ken.Hindi ko pa marehistro lahat ng rebelasyon ni Ken sa akin tungkol sa anak ko at ngayon nakikita ko na walang malay si Alex sa tabi ko. Nakikita ko ang sariwang dugo na lumalabas sa katawan niya."Wake up, Alex! No!" Paulit-ulit na iyak ni Ken habang yakap-yakap si Alex. He keeps on crying. Natauhan ako at hinila papalayo si Ken sa katawan ni Alex."Stop touching her!" I gave him the hardest punch I could. Hindi siya gumanti sa halip hinayaan niya lang ako na suntukin siya. "You fooled me all this time trying to believe that I'd ruined everything about you and Alex! You fooled me into believing that Ken
I WANT YOU BACK Chapter 45: Revelation
Alex's POVHe raped me!Pagkatapos niya akong pagsamantalahan ay maingat siyang humiga sa kanan ko. Nakikita ko ang lungkot at poot na naghahalo sa kanyang mga mata. Bakas sa mukha niya ang hindi maipaliwanag na emosyon."I just wanted to make love with you." He said while looking at the ceiling. Hindi ko pa rin ma compose ang sarili ko dahil sa ginawa niyang kababuyan sa akin. Hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip kung ano ang nagtulak sa kanya para gawin iyon sa akin. He's been good to me ever since."I prayed that someday you'll love me just like how I do. I never imagine that I'll be doing this to you. I–I just love you Alex!" Mahinahon niyang sagot habang nakahiga pa rin at nililibot ang mga mga mata sa bawat sulok ng kisame. Wala na akong lakas para makipagtalo pa sa kanya kaya hinayaan ko lang siyang magsalita. "I'm sorry,"napaiyak siya at napasubsob sa sarili niyang mga kamay. "Ayokong gawin ito pero–pero mas ayokong mawala ka sa akin," patuloy niya habang pinupunasan ang mga luhang tu

Alex's POVIt was midnight when I slowly opened the door and checked if Ken was still outside. I looked at his room's door and the light was already off.Is he sleeping?Dahan-dahan akong bumalik sa kwarto ni Kent."Come baby," I whispered. Kinarga ko si Kent at dahan-dahang sinarado ang pintuan ng kwarto niya. Dahan-dahan akong tumapak sa hagdanan para hindi niya ako marinig. Minabuti kong hindi buksan ang ilaw sa baba para hindi niya kami mahalata kung sakaling magising siya."Mommy?" Pag-aalalang tanong ni Kent.Don't talk baby..."Shh.. Wag kang maingay, baby." Saway ko sa kanya at nakinig naman siya. Alam kong natatakot din ang anak ko sa pwedeng mangyari sa amin ngayon. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang mahigpit niya na yakap sa akin habang hawak-hawak ang maliit niyang bag.We'll be outside, baby...Finally, nasa harapan na kami ng pintuan pero di ko ito mabuksan.Why?What's wrong with the door?I opened my cellphone's flashlight and there I saw na naharangan na pala ito ng kahoy at mai

Masyadong tahimik ang bahay.Seems unusual...Tawag ako nang tawag kay Yaya pero walang sumasagot.Nasaan kaya siya?Hindi naman ngayon Sunday kaya alam kung hindi niya ngayon day-off. Wala din akong maalalang pinabili kay Yaya sa araw na ito.Nagpunta ako sa kusina and I saw Ken preparing the table."Good morning!"Maaliwas na salubong sa akin ni Ken.Good morning?After mo akong sampalin kahapon nakuha mo pang magsabi ng good morning?Masyado siyang masigla na siy

Ken's POVIt's been my daily routine visiting Kent. Napamahal na sa akin ang bata at parang anak na rin ang turing ko sa kanya.How I wish I could turn back time...Walang araw na hindi ko pinagsisihan ang nangyari sa amin ni Alex. Call me idiot but this is me.I still love the woman who's walking towards me.HIndi ko intensiyon ang manira ng relasyon.Hindi ko na intensiyon na manira ulit ng relasyon.I've been given another chance to love her back again before, but I still lost her on our way.I lost her, again!I know I shouldn't be thinking like this again dahil alam kong makakasira lang ito sa kung anong set-up namin ngayon. I just wanted to cheer up Kent until he's finally healed and aalis na rin ako ng Pilipinas. I need space and time to think about myself. I should be healing by now since everyone did.

Kinakabahang tanong ko."Nasa hospital po siya ngayon..."Dali-dali akong nag-U-turn at pinuntahan si Alex sa hospital. Hindi ako mapakali sa kakahawak ng manebela ng sasakyan ko. Gusto kong mag-overspeed pero nilalamon ako ng traffic."What happened to you, Alex?" Kinakausap ko mag-isa ang sarili ko sa nangyari. I think I am somehow responsible for what happened to her. Did I do something I'm about to regret again?What really happened to her!Patakbo akong pumasok ng hospital. Dali-dali akong pumasok sa Emergeny Room kung saan ko naabutan si Alex na umiiyak."W
I WANT YOU BACK Chapter 40: Love steal
Ken's POVAt some point, you just have to let go and move on. It might be the hardest thing in the world to do, but you have to summon all of the strength you possibly can to finally let go. Some people and things just aren't going to be meant for you, no matter how much you wish they were. Some jobs and situations just won't work out, no matter how much you hoped they would... But, know that it's okay for things to not work out. Nobody's life is a straight line that makes perfect sense. Everybody has twists and turns, and everyone has to turn around every now and then. So when you find yourself wishing and hoping things out of your control would change, summon all of your strength to let go and start heading in a new direction because it'll lead you closer to your true path. -Nikki BanasLetting go of the woman I only loved was the hardest decision I made. I loved her so much that I am willing to sacrifice my own happiness just to see her smiling. I don't wanna be the man who will be
I WANT YOU BACK Chapter 39: Sacrifices
Ken's POV I locked myself upstairs, feeling so unsteady. I wanted to get Patrick out of our lives, but it was the other way around. I hate seeing him around us. I hate seeing him with Kent. And I fucking hate it when I see him talking to Alex. Fuck! Fuck you, Patrick! Fuck you for everything! Flashback. We are enjoying ourselves here in Paris pero nauna akong umuwi sa Pilipinas so that I could prepare everything kapag umuwi na ng Pilipinas si Alex. I wanted to surprise her. I wanted to propose to her. It was exactly 455 days since naging kami ni Alex, our 15th months to be exact. I prepared everything to make this day as special as it could be for Alex. I invited my family and some of our close friends and some of my co-workers to witness this memorable day of ours. I set everything up perfectly. I was walking back and forth in front of the television to ease my nervousness when Mom approached me. "Don't be nervous, Son. Everything will be okay." She managed to comfort me whi
I WANT YOU BACK Chapter 38: Selflessness over Selfishness
Ken's POV I hate it when someone is making Alex smile. Not another man at mas lalong hindi si Patrick. One month ago. Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng meeting when Alex called me. Alex? I hurriedly answered the call. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nawawala si Kent." Nauutal siya while saying Kent is missing. "What? Why?" "I don't know... Nasa tabi ko lang siya kanina and then paglingon ko wala na siya." Pagmamadali niyang sabi. "Just come here–" "I'm on my way!" Hindi ko na siya pinatapos sa pagsasalita. I excused myself from the meeting. My son's life is more important than my client's. Tinawagan ko lang ang kasama ko sa office para pumalit sa akin. Dali-dali akong bumaba sa building at pinaharorot sa pagtakbo ang kotse ko pabalik sa EK. Wait for me, Alex... It took me 15 minutes driving bago ako nakarating sa EK. I saw Alex na di mapakali sa kakalakad sa lugar kung saan ko sila iniwan ni Kent kanina. "Thanks God, you're here!" mabilis niyang sabi. I gave her my hug. "What happened?"
