Sky's POV
She stared at me and I can't explain what her eyes were showing. "Sky..."
"Yes?"
"...u-uwi na tayo," she then walked out.
"Hillary, wait!" she's walking so fast—no, I think she's running.
When we finally reached the parking area, she went inside the car too soon.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked as I also went inside.
"W-Wala naman. Gusto ko na talagang umuwi."
"All of a sudden?"
She didn't respond. So, I decided to start driving. I've been looking at her, but her eyes were glued outside.
Tsk, ano ba kasing nangyari ba't nagkaganto?
The whole trip, we don't have any conversation at all. Gabi na rin nang makarating kami. When I stopped the car, she immediately went down.
"Hillary," I stopped her from walking, "ano ba talagang nangyayari?" I asked her again.
She shook her head, "napagod ako, Sky, magpapahinga na ako," she said.
I held her hand to stop her again, "tell me first what's wrong," I uttered.
"Fine!" she somehow yelled at me, "hindi ko alam kung manhid ka ba, Sky, paasa o sadyang ganiyan ka lang talaga!" she added.
"Hillary," I just uttered her name. I don't even know what to say.
"Masaya ka na ako 'yong kasama mo in fulfilling your dream? Talaga ba?"
"Totoo 'yon, Hillary."
"Ayoko na makarinig ng ganiyan mula sa'yo, Sky, na masaya ka kapag kasama ako, na gusto mo 'kong makasama na tayong dalawa lang...kasi...nakakapagod din, Sky," I was surprised when her tears fell down, "nakakapagod ding umasa," she said, still weeping.
Ako, hindi ako makapaniwala. I know that she loves me, but I am not taking advantage of it, I'm not giving her false hopes, I'm just being honest with her.
"Remember that song I sang earlier, that was for you," she uttered again. "Yes, Sky, I just want you to know that I fell in love with this person I can't have...no, I'll never have...Alam kong kahit kailan you'll never be mine...pero, sana, Sky, dararting 'yong araw na ako naman 'yong makita mo, ako naman 'yong mapansin mo," she looked down, "ako naman 'yong mahalin mo," she said.
Sh*t! Come on, Sky, say a word! Tsk! What should I say? Damn it!
"Hindi mo kaya, 'di ba?" she bit her lower lip, then she mutters, "kasi siya pa rin?" she laughed, "ba't ba ang hirap palitan ng first love mo? Niloko ka na't lahat-lahat, pero mahal mo pa rin. Ba't ka ba ganiyan?" her voice sounded so hurt. Sh*t, man! I don't want to see her in melancholy, in pain, in tears. Sh*t, but I need to be honest, ayoko siyang paasahin.
"My mind says move on, but my heart says hold on. I'm sorry, Hillary" I uttered, staring straight at her eyes.
She wiped her tears and smiles, "let's pretend that this is just a dream...a dream that when tomorrow comes...we no longer can remember," she turned her back at me, "thank you for today, Sky, good night," the last words she said before she finally went inside.
I closed my eyes. Why does this need to happen? Tsk! We're so good, everything's so smooth, tapos biglang naging ganito? Damn!!
Hillary's POV
Instead of having a rest, I'm here at the balcony drinking a coffee. I've been wiping my tears, but they still keep on falling.
I smiled. Parang ako lang, ha. Nasasaktan na't lahat-lahat patuloy ko pa ring hinahayaan ang sarili kong mahulog sa kaniya. How stupid!
Someone has been knocking. Then, he went inside after almost 5 minutes.
"Hillary?" he called me.
"At the balcony!" I replied. I also closed my phone. Yeah, I've been looking at our pictures. Tsk! We look good together if only we have the same feelings for each other.
"Kumain ka na?" he asked as he sat in front of me.
"No, I don't have any appetite at all."
"Huh?...wait...why do you look so strange? Are you crying?" he then touched my cheek. It's still wet because of my damn tears, tsk, I didn't notice it.
I stood up and look above to hold back my damn tears. "The night sky so beautiful, right?" I asked him, but he remained silent. I sighed. We really gotten closed, he knew me already. "Alright, I am so sad and hurt right now, Andrei," I finally told the truth.
He stood beside me and asked, "why?" so worried.
I smiled, "I already confessed to Sky," I replied. "And, as expected, I got dumped? Tss, parang gano'n na nga talaga," I added.
He caressed my back, then he chuckled, "tapang mo, ha. So, what are you gonna do now?" he asked.
"Totally get move on," I said. "I've been planning to forget my feelings for Sky, but I always end up still loving him. But now, I should really move on."
"Gusto mo na bang umuwi?"
"No. Let's enjoy our remaining days. I don't want to ruin this vacation, Andrei."
"Sige. But for now, Hillary, you need to rest your mind, your heart, and you, yourself. I know that this week, a lot of things happened, you faced so many dramas, so now, go on and have a rest."
I don't know how it happened, but I am now hugging Andrei while my tears are falling. Despite the fact that I've been hurting his feelings, he's still here, standing beside me and reminding me that I always have someone to lean on
"Thank you, Andrei," I uttered sincerely, then I let go from the hug.
He messed my hair, "you're always welcome, Honey," he even made a joke. Tsk!
I shook my head in disbelief, "crazy," I replied.
"Sige na, take a rest and I'll also do the same," I was surprised when he kissed my forehead.
"Good night," I said, smiling at him.
He also smiled and he uttered, "good night, Hillary. I know you're brave enough, you can conquer this," he then went out of my room.
I sighed again. Why can't I love Andrei more than a friend? Why do I always pray to be with Sky till my last breath? Sh*tness!
I shook my head. Stupid, Hillary. Sleep now and tomorrow, you must start forgetting your feelings for him.
