CHAPTER 60

The coldness of the room embraced me while pieces of sharps pierced through my chest. Ito na naman ang pakiramdam na mayroong pumipisil sa puso ko. Falling asleep would be better than falling apart. The painful part was not knowing he met the same girl again. It was normal. Nagkikita sila dahil natutulungan siya ng pamilya nila. But it hurts that he never told me about it. I wouldn't know any of it if I did not see it with my own eyes. I was curling up under the blanket, holding my mouth to prevent myself from making a sound while my tears were endlessly falling. The door creaked open, making a sound that moved me. Hindi ako lumabas. Nagpanggap akong natutulog. I don't want to see him yet. I can't. "Isla," He called me in his soft voice. Lumubog ang gilid ng kama ko kaya alam kong umupo siya rito. "I'm sorry. I did not mean to hide it from you. Hindi ko pinlanong itago sa'yo na nagkikita kami, at mas lalong hindi ko ginustong masaktan ka. I was wrong for not telling you about it, f

CHAPTER 61

Time may not always heal everything at once, but it gives the answers to unheard stories. Nawala na ang bawat sakit at bigat, pero nanatili ang takot. It is not the fear of being cheated on, but of losing him because of the trust I couldn't fully give this time. "Isla," Marahan nitong pagtawag sa'kin. Lumipas na ang isang gabi, pero nanatili siya rito sa condominium. I was wondering why he did not leave, but I guess I know the answers. "Wala ka bang duties ngayon?" Malamig kong pagtatanong dito. Nakaharap lang ako sa phone ko habang tinitignan ang mga mensaheng galing kay Wendy. Sinusubukan nitong humanap ng bagong agency ngayon para sa'kin dahil malapit na rin matapos ang mga proyekto ko. "Hmm," He just hummed. Imbis na lingunin siya ay nanatili na lang akong nakaharap sa sariling phone. I decided to keep myself busy through checking my notes. Tinitignan ko kung mayroon pa ba akong kulang na IDs at requirements para sa training. Although I still have one month to prepare for th

CHAPTER 62

"Kakain na muna, Isla." Marahang sambit ni Zeidan. Halos kakagising ko lang ulit. Hindi ko na rin alam kung anong mga nangyari kanina. The last thing I remember was falling asleep after he gave me the assurances I needed to hear from him. "Nakatulog pala ulit ako...." Nanghihinang sambit ko. Pinilit kong makabangon kaya binitawan niya kaagad ang hawak na pagkain sa side table. "May mga nilabhan nga pala ako. I need to get them---," Sinubukan kong bumangon para kuhanin ang mga damit na iniwanan kong umiikot kanina sa washing machine. "Natiklop ko na, Isla. Just take a rest, please." He softly uttered. "Kakalaba ko lang no'n kanina." Nagtatakang sambit ko rito. "Pinaikot ko ng isa pa habang natutulog ka bago ko pinatuyo sa dryer kanina, saka ko isinampay. Tiniklop ko na rin bago ako magluto ng dinner para makapagpahinga ka nang maayos." Marahan nitong sambit. Tinulungan ako nitong makabangon, pero hindi niya ako hinayaang umalis sa kama. He rested my back on the headrest before c

CHAPTER 63

"Hi! Good day, Ma'am. Welcome to Meraki Brews!" Pagbati ko sa customer na nangunguna sa pila. The chimes hanging on the topmost edge of the room made a sound. It was a signal that someone entered. A month ago, I was in deep grief because of the mass layoff announcement. I was one of the many models removed from the agency. Hindi 'yon naging madali para sa'kin. It was the hardest, yet I'm now finally learning to accept that I'm really out of the world that helped me survive in college. Slowly, but at least I have a progress. Natapos ang mga proyekto ko sa agency at nakapirma na rin kami nila Wendy ng separation agreement doon. Hanggang ngayon naman ay hindi pa rin tumitigil si Wendy sa paghahanap ng bagong agency para sa'kin. She's not very rich, but I could say that she's financially capable. Compared to me, she can survive even without a modelling agency to work with. Pero gusto niya ang ginagawa niya. She's working on that field not for money, but because of her passion. Pagkalip

CHAPTER 64

"Uuwi ako sa'yo tuwing weekends, okay?" Sambit ni Zeidan. He was parking his car in front of the coffee shop. Tatlong araw itong nanatili sa condominium. Hindi maluwag ang schedule niya. He just really made time to bond with me before the coming of his busier days. Kagaya nang napag-usapan, uuwi siya sa condominium tuwing weekends niya. Sa buong weekdays naman ay tatawag ito tuwing gabi para makapag-usap kami bago magpahinga. "Oo na, oo na." Tugon ko rito. "Go na. May practicals ka pa ngayon. Papasok na rin ako sa shop. Magsisimula na ang shift ko." "Wala akong kiss?" He teased. Kumunot ang noo ko rito. "Para saan?" I asked. "Sweet mo." He scoffed. Lumapit ito bago pinatakan nang mainit na halik ang noo ko. He pinched my nose, then softly chuckled. I watched him open his door, then went to my side. Pinagbuksan ako nito ng pintuan at inalalayan pababa. The conversation ended with our final goodbyes. Pinanood kong umalis ang sasakyan nito bago ako pumasok sa coffee shop. Sumalubo

CHAPTER 65

"Good day, Sir! Welcome to Meraki Brews." I uttered with a smile upon receiving my first customer for the day. Sir Kane was sitting in the closest corner of the shop, holding a cup of coffee as if he was also a customer. Palihim ako nitong binabantayan sa unang duty ko sa counter na walang assistance niya o kahit ni Yesha. "Isang order ng fries overload." Sambit nito habang nakatingin sa menu. "Tapos isang hot latte, and isang banana milk tea." Pinindot ko ang screen ng POS para ilagay ang orders nito. Unang customer pa lang naman siya kaya hindi pa ako nakakaramdam ng pressure. "For the milktea, regular or ice-blended, Sir?" I asked, still smiling. "Blended. Make it large, by the way." Tugon nito. "Sugar level, Sir?" I asked again. There, I realized. Mas nakakapagod pala ang pagsasalita sa ganitong trabaho, kaysa sa paglalagay ng orders ng mga customers. "Neutral." He responded. "How would you like to pay, Sir? Cash or card?" Magalang kong pagtatanong. "Cash." He stated, be

CHAPTER 66

"Celeste," Sir Kane called. Nanatili ang mga mata ko sa pintuan ng shop. The woman left, not taking her order. Hawak ko pa rin ang cup na sana ay paglalagyan ko ng inumin nito. It was really Zeidan's mother. Gustong tumulo ng mga luha ko, pero walang lumalabas kahit isang patak. Crying means acceptance. Hindi ko tatanggapin ang mga sinabi niya hangga't hindi si Zeidan mismo ang nagsasabi no'n sa'kin. "Celeste." Muling pagtawag ni Sir Kane. Napalingon ako dito. Nakalapit na siya sa puwesto ko at kita sa mga mata nito ang pagtataka. "Sir Kane," I uttered. Napaayos ako sa pagkakatayo at binitawan ang hawak na cup. "Sorry. Nagbayad po ang customer, kaso hindi po kinuha ang order.""Kilala mo ba 'yon? What was that? Ang tagal niyong magkausap." Sambit nito. "Were you able to handle it properly?" Handle? Properly? Yes. I handled my emotions properly, enough to still show respect to that woman. "Yes, Sir. Hindi niya lang po talaga kinuha ang order. Maybe it was a tip. Gusto niyang mala

CHAPTER 67

I took an early out. Mabuti na lang din dahil pumayag si Sir Kane. I booked a car to Zeidan's place. A phone call will not help us in settling these issues. Alas-nuwebe pa lang ay nakarating na ako sa condominium niya, pero wala pa siya rito. Good thing, I have his room keys.Pinagbuti ko na lang munang maghanda ng dinner naming dalawa. I haven't taken my meals for the whole day yet. Mas mabuting pagkarating nito ay kakain na lang siya at magpapahinga. Ilang beses pa lang akong nakakarating dito sa condominium niya. Mabuti na lang dahil natandaan ko ang floor at ang room number nito. His condominium hasn't changed a bit. Napupuno pa rin ito ng mga libro niya sa medisina at mga gamit sa practicals niya. I just prepared a mushroom soup so he could recover his strength. Siguradong pagod itong uuwi ngayong gabi lalo na't mukhang marami itong hinawakang medical cases sa araw na 'to. I waited for him. Tumutunog na ang sikmura ko pero hindi ko ginagalaw ang pagkain. I want to eat with him

CHAPTER 68

"Isla, mag-usap naman tayo. Please?" Zeidan uttered.It's the seventh time he asked me for the same thing this day. For five days, he kept coming back to the coffee shop, asking me for a talk and explanation. Hindi ko ito pinansin. Mabigat na hininga ang pinakawalan ko bago ko hinubad ang apron na suot. Simula no'ng araw na pumunta ito sa coffee shop para makausap ako ay araw-araw na itong bumabalik rito. I am not giving him the attention he needed. I have decided to mold my heart into a stone. It's my defense. This is how I want to cope up. "Is it my responsibility to deal with you?" Mariin kong pagtatanong dito nang makalabas ako mula sa counter area. I left the station and went straight to the staff room for my things. "Celeste, out ka na?" Pagtatanong ni Yesha nang makasalubong ko ito. "Yes, Yesha. Uuwi na muna ako. Nandiyan ba si Sir Kane?" I asked her. "Wala siya today. Baka bukas pa babalik or mamayang gabi." She responded. I had a small conversation with her regarding

CHAPTER 69

"Let this be a goodbye." The words from last night echoed in the four corners of my unit. He left without a word, but his eyes spoke the loudest begging. His absence was proof that I was only capable of managing the pain for weeks because I knew he would be here. Pero ngayon na wala na talaga siya, do'n ko lang napagtanto na hindi ko pala talaga kaya 'yong sakit. His presence kept me sane for a longer period of time. Ngayon, hindi ko na alam kung saan ako kukuha ng lakas para bumangon at magpatuloy. He's gone. He slipped away. I should be thankful because this is what I wanted in the first place. For his dreams, and for his unborn child. The ghosts of our yesterdays kept haunting me in every corner of the unit. This is the place we've made the most of our memories together. A unit that he turned into a home, and now it seems like an abandoned house. I changed into my uniform and took my things with me. Kung hindi ako aalis dito, masasakal lang ako nang paulit-ulit sa sakit at pag
