Chapter Four

LUCAS' POV

WERE HERE at the coffee shop.

"nanlibre ka ah?" my sister asked me.

"I have something to tell you" i lean and tell her to shut up,

"I'll order first" she said

"Order what you want"

I took the box inside of my pocket and then i show it to her.

"Wow mag pro-propose ka sa'kin?" she asked.

"Stupid" i said

"mag pro-propose ka na kay Megan?" she asked and then put her hands on her mouth because of shock.

"For real?!" She asked

"Yes gagawin ko pag dumating na sya dito" I said.

"Ow congrats gusto ko na rin ng pamangkin...bigyan mo'ko" she said.

"Don't be excited baka 'di matuloy" I said

"Gago dapat ituloy mo na! ang tagal nyo na ah... 6 years na ata kayong mag jowa"she said.

"Of course" i said

--

[Hoy pre sama ka hang out tayo kasama si Dylan] Bungad kaagad ni Jeremy sa telepono.

"What? bar? it's too early Garcia"

[Good boy na ako sa coffee shop lang oyat sa coffee shop lang malapit sa inyo]

"Ok then"

-

"Try to Push it miss i said to the woman who's still pulling the door pinauna nya naman ako kaya mabilis kong itinulak ang pinto at iniikot yung pull at ginawang push.

I don't know that there's still a stupid persons like her nowadays, if it's not pull, it's push then.

I immediately went to the table where Jeremy is sitting on.

Kaagad s'yang napatawa habang nakatingin pa rin sa'kin, my gaze went to the woman but she immediately avoid her gaze while she's blushing probably, shy.

"Sorry but i'm off limits darating na ang future ko 3 days from now" i proudly said.

"Loyal naman chief!"

Tumawa ako sa kan'ya at bigla namang dumating si Dylan ang isa sa pinaka matinik sa babae na kaagad nilapitan ang kaibigan no'ng babae parang kilala nila no'ng babae ang isa't isa, akala ko 'yong babae kanina yung type n'ya pero yung kaibigan pala nito ang korsunada.

"Wala olats ako dyan pre" kaagad na itinaas ni Jeremy ang dalawang kamay na parang sumusuko dahil sa pagka babaero ni Dylan.

"Di ako tutulad d'yan" i said and let out a heavy sigh.

--

"Hey babe" Megan said

We're talking via video call

"Hey babe i miss you"

"Don't worry I will be there na tomorrow" she said sweetly.

"You look's hot and more fit huh?" She said

i chuckled " i know you miss my body" I chuckled

"You're still full of yourself babe" She laugh but that laugh is kinda sad, i dont know?

Medyo matagal rin kaming nagka usap at nag kwento naman sya ng kung ano-ano.

I really love this girl.

---

I woke up at 5am to go to gym like what i always doing.

When i arrived at the gym i saw the girl again as i know she's the girl that they calling Anianette i saw her running on the treadmill.

After my morning routine i find a place to eat breakfast and i found myself standing in front of the coffee shop near at the gym.

"Don't you mind if i sit here?" i heard a voice so i immediately look at her nananadya ba'to?

Tumango na lang ako i don't want to be rude to her i don't want her to say that i'm grumpy.

I just stand up to order my food luminga linga ako sa paligid wala na ngang bakanteng upuan and yes its just a coincidence.

"Do you have a wife?" She asked me

Nag kwento pa sya pero...

"I'm going to leave sasabay ka?" I asked her

Ngumiti sya sa'kin at umiling "i have my car, thanks" she said

"Ok bye" I said

ayokong ma attach sa kan'ya...

Because she's reminding me of someone, that someone who have a special part inside of my heart.

My first love 22 years ago i'm just 5 years old when i first saw her,she's 3 years old at that time it's possible that the girl 22 years ago and Anianette are one.

I'm not sure because i forgot the name of the girl i met 22 years ago, baka... magkaparehas lang sila ng ngiti.

Pero kung sya man yo'n? Bakit ngayon ka lang? You came when i already love someone.

---

Sinundo ko si Megan sa airport she hugged me and kiss my cheeks.

Tumawa ako at binitbit yung iba n'yang bagahe.

Sumakay kami sa BMW ko balak ko pang dalhin sya sa condo ko para do'n mag stay.

"Ay,babe sa'min mo ako ihatid i need to see mom and dad first do'n muna ako sa kanila" she said kaagad akong napasimangot dahil do'n.

"Don't be sad babe let's have a dinner later i have something to tell you" she said i helped her to bring her bagage inside of their mansion and then i saw tito and tita.

"Anak Megan!? bakit napaaga naman ata ang dating mo?" her mom asked Megan her mother look at me and gave me a smile.

"O hijo salamat sa pag sundo at paghahatid dito sa anak namin" her father said.

"Ah," i smiled

" Sige po tita I'll going to leave" I said

"Mom dad ihahatid ko lang po sa gate si Lucas" Megan said

"Lucas!" Tawag nya sa'kin

"Hmm?" i asked her

"Don't be like this" paglalambing nya pero parang may nagbago sa kan'ya meron talaga.

"I'm not grumpy let's have a dinner later babe i have something to tell you too" i kissed her cheeks and walk away.

Napakunot ang noo ko habang nag da-drive nag iba sya there is something wrong with her.

I arrive at their house and pick her up, she's wearing a white fitted dress na above the knees and a light make up.

Maingat ko syang isinakay sa sasakyan ko na ikinatawa nya.

"i'm not a child" she said

"But you're my baby" i let out a soft chuckle.

"Ikaw talaga" she said medyo lumungkot ang boses nya pero di ko na lang pinansin

pagdating namin do'n naka serve na agad ang table pati pagkain namin

And then we start eating napansin kong ang lakas n'yang kumain.

"tataba ka n'yan"

" Ikaw naman" she said

after a moment she speak again.

"Diba you said that...walang dapat maglihim sa'tin?" She asked

"Hmm...yes i said that" i chuckled kahit na kinakabahan ako sa susunod n'yang sasabihin.

"L-lucas...there"

"There is someone else" she said and then she cried hindi agad ako nakapag salita dahil sa sinabi nya.

"A-and i-im pregnant L-lucas"she added

Para akong nabingi sa mga sinasabi nya ngayon ang sakit.

"Since when Megan?" i asked her

"Since i-i stayed Canada" she said

That was one year ago, ganoon ba ako kadaling palitan? gan'on ba kadaling sayangin yung anim na taon?

"i'm so sorry" Megan said and cried again

"Megan...you betrayed me" i said tumayo ako.

kaya kaagad rin syang tumayo.

"i'm going home" i let out a deep breath at nag iwas ng tingin sa kan'ya.

Pumunta ako sa parking lot s'ya naman ay nakasunod sa likuran ko diretso akong pumasok sa kotse ko.

Yes i'm mad but i don't want to shout at her baka madamay pa yung bata sa sinapupunan nya.

Pumasok na rin sya sa kotse ko habang patuloy pa ring umiiyak.

"L-lucas I'm s-sorry" she said

Kinuha ko yung tissue at ibinigay sa kan'ya she accept it and wipe her tears.

"I don't want to see you...crying" I said and start the engine.

"Mahal ka nya?" I asked her

"Y-yes he said t-that he loves me" she said

"Alam nya na boyfriend mo'ko?" I asked again while focusing on driving

"H-hindi" she answered

"It's good that you tell it to me" napatawa ako "it's better that you tell it too me, i don't want to discover that shit". sobrang higpit ng hawak ko sa manibela pinipigilan kong 'di sya sigawan dahil masakit.

Masakit.

"Ok then let's end out relationship in a nice way" I said and look at her she looked at me, namumugto ang mata n'ya

"O-ok i-im sorry again Lucas i don't want to hurt you like this" she said and started to cry again.

You already hurt me.

"Yes Megan! gusto kong sumigaw, gusto kitang sigawan, gusto kong magalit sa'yo, pero para sa bata dyan! sa t'yan mo hindi na lang hindi kita kayang saktan dahil Megan!mahal kita e!"hinampas ko ang manibela na kaagad nyang ikinagulat.

"I'm sorry Lucas" humahagulgol n'yang iyak.

i don't want to cry in front of her.

i stopped the car in front of their gate

"i guess this is the goodbye please Megan stay gone" Mahina kong sabi but i know that she heard it.

I'm still looking in front i don't want to look at her, leaving.

I saw at my peripheral vision na tumango sya habang umiiyak pa rin.

Bumaba sya sa kotse ko, and then drove my car away.

Doon na nagsimulang tumulo ang luha na kanina ko pang pinipigil inilabas ko ang singsing na dapat ay ibibigay ko pa lang sa kan'ya, pero hindi pala sya ang tamang tao para sa'kin nagsimulang lumabo ang paningin ko dahil sa luha i wipe it.

Hindi ko napansing may kasalubong pala akong sasakyan kaagad kong iniliko ang manibela ng sasakyan ko kaya napabangga ako sa isang puno.

Sana natuluyan na lang ako damn this life.

Mahina lang ang impact pero nasira pa rin yung unahan ng kotse ko at nagtamo ako ng sugat sa noo dahil sa pag ka untog ko pero hawak ko pa rin yung singsing.

mahina akong napatawa.

Damn it.
