Chapter Twenty Six

Chapter 26

In life there will always be a lesson to learn. We always tend to make mistake but we always learn in each mistakes in life. Learning is a process. Accepting the truth is a must. Believing in ourselves is a great achievement in life. Loving ourselves is beyond perfect.

Self love will always be the first thing to do. It’s always the process of healing and getting braver each day passes by.

As time passed, I learned to give importance of my life and love myself dearly. Masaktan man ulit ako, alam ko na sa sarili ko na kakayanin ko. Hindi dahil nasaktan na ako kundi dahil mas lalo kung minahal ang sarili ko na kaya ko ng umahon kapag bumagsak muli.

If someone will be back and hurt me again, I’ll just laughed and smile. Mas mahal ko na ang sarili ko.

"Hoy gagi ano nginingiti ngiti mo riyan?"

Napawi ang ngiti ko at napaangat ako ng tingin kay Shane. Kahit kailan talaga ‘tong babaeng ‘to, panira ng moment always.

"Wala." I scoffed.

"Anong wala? Ano ‘to teh! Inlove ka na ba kay papi Anjo? Oh no! Bawal! Kahit gago ‘yong manok ko pero ang aking boto ay para pa rin kay fafa CJ yummy."

I glared at her. "Nag agahan ka ba? Ba’t napaka-pasmado yata niyang bibig mo?"

Natawa siya at itinaas ang kamay. "Joke lang naman, seryoso mo. Nakakawala ng ganda ‘yan teh!"

"Ewan ko sa ‘yo. Magtrabaho ka na nga riyan. Ginawa mong tambayan ‘tong shop ko,"

Napabuntong hininga ako habang nakapikit. Iniisip ko kasi si Anjo. He still insist to court me even if I tell him everyday to stop because I don’t want to have a relationship with anyone anymore. It’s stressing and traumatizing.

I massage the bridge of my nose problematically. Gwapo si Anjo pero ‘di ko talaga bet eh. Anjo is an ideal man and a better man but I don’t wanna force myself to him. Ayokong subukan at pagdating sa huli ay pagsisisihan ko.

I stood up and fix my fitted backless black dress two inches above the knee. I check my face to see if my make up was in a right place. I’m all good. After being satisfied of how I look, I walk to the counter.

Minsan ako na rin ang nasa counter part ng shop kasi gusto ko lang. Wala rin naman akong ibang pinagkaka-abalahan kundi ‘tong shop lang.

"Miss, do you have any specific menu for today?"

Napaangat ako ng tingin sa nagsalita. I blink twice. My mouth parted and I look at the person in front of me with shock.

I cleared my throat before speaking. "Ahm... Shane!" I called her.

"‘Teh? Po? Bakit? Ay igop omg! Hala s-si.. si ano ba ‘yan? Putangina gago,"

Napapikit ako ng mariin. Manahimik ka na lang please.

"Give him the menu and serve it on the table he wants, pasok muna ako sa kusina, ikaw muna ang bahala riyan."

Before she can even protest, I walk towards the kitchen. Sinarado ko ang pintuan at pagod na napasandal doon. Is the destiny really fucking me up? Kasi kung oo aba putangina naman.

Ano ‘tong sinabi ko sa sarili ko na okay na ako? Hindi pa rin pala eh. Everytime I remember all the things they did, I’d always crawled up and cry. Three years isn’t enough to make me forget all bad things happened.

I enhaled deeply and wipe my tears. Kinuha ko ang phone ko sa bag at sinagot ang tawag. Anjo’s calling.

"Hello Anj?"
