C47 forty seven

I suddenly felt nervous! Why is Angel acting weird?!

I took a deep breath and started typing.

"Why?" 10:04 AM

"Cyrus is here, come over," 10:04 AM

I felt my heart pounding and my breath quickening.

"Why though? It's okay if he's there, I don't own him and I don't want him feeling suffocated by me. Why are you making me nervous?" 10:05 AM

I could feel my hands slowly trembling.

What's happening now?

My whole being was stunned when she sent a picture.

It felt like a part of my heart exploded, making it hard for me to breathe. I slowly raised my hand to my chest because it suddenly felt tight. I bit my lip as tears welled up in my eyes.

I'm so confused!

What is this, Cyrus?

I returned my gaze to the screen.

Cyrus was smiling, his broad back clearly visible, as if he couldn't see that someone was taking their picture. He had a girl beside him, also smiling broadly. Cyrus's lips were touching the girl's forehead. On the side, Aunt Alejandra was also smiling widely.

So what's this?

Did he tell his parents that we've broken up, so he's introducing someone new?

Damn it!

I know we don't have a label or anything, but isn't it enough for him to just stick with me? Because he's showing motives that he likes me?! So why is this happening?!

I took a deep breath and sighed again. Tears began to fall once more, and my shoulders trembled. I slowly sat down as my knees suddenly weakened. I could feel the cold floor, but I didn't pay attention to it. My vision started to blur again because of the tears. So I wiped them away quickly.

It's annoying why is it like this again? Why does it seem like it's repeating? Maybe he just made up what he said about Akia!

I shook my head. My phone suddenly rang again, a sign that Angel was calling me again.

I didn't know if I should answer because even my fingers were trembling.

"Hurry up, Here at C.E. Restaurant. Damn it, hurry up," she angrily said.

She immediately hung up on me.

I hugged my knees as tears fell on my cheeks again. It's exhausting.

I raised my head and took a deep breath.

I'm afraid of what I might find out if I go.

But it's probably not right to always be afraid.

Even though my knees were trembling, I tried to stand up. I won't gain anything if I sulk and cry here while waiting for an explanation from him that I don't even know if I should believe anymore.

I didn't bother changing clothes. I just wore a big white t-shirt and denim shorts.

"Hey, Where are you going?" Mawi called out to me.

She was surprised because of the tears on my cheeks. She seemed flustered.

I sniffled. "Just around," I said simply.

She stood up. "I'll go with you!" she insisted as she brushed her hair.

I forced a smile and nodded.

I started walking, the restaurant Angel mentioned wasn't far, just around the corner of our subdivision.

I was silently followed by Mawi while I couldn't stop sobbing and wiping tears from my face.

When we arrived at the restaurant, Angel stood up when she saw me. We immediately entered without giving any hints. We sat next to Angel, she was alone now and looked like she just finished eating.

The three of us remained silent on the side, all waiting for what would happen.

I prayed to Bathala, to the bright stars, and to the beautiful moon that my suspicions were wrong.

That he wasn't fooling me.

"It's good that you thought of bringing Liane here to meet us, Cyrus," I heard the woman who seemed to be Tita Alejandra's age say.

C.E.? It's Cyrus Elio!

Liane, the girl with Cyrus, laughed.

"Yes, of course," she said, then looked at Cyrus.

She's beautiful! Yes, she looked like an angel! Her eyes and smile!

"Aunt," Cyrus said to the woman. "Liane has grown up, and I'm thankful for her," and he kissed Liane's forehead again?

I quickly looked away, I couldn't bear to look at them because with every glance at them, it felt like my heart was being squeezed.

I wiped away the tears that fell on my cheeks again, and I immediately felt my shoulders tremble.

I don't know where to look. Angel quickly handed me a tissue, as did Mawi.

My knees were shaking as I stood up. I'm having a hard time breathing again!

I started to take steps away. I couldn't think of anything else but my desire to get away.

"And she's pregnant! I'm so excited!"

I froze at Cyrus's enthusiastic words. My palm flew to my mouth to stop the loud sob. My shoulders started to tremble again because of crying.

"You really happy, My Son. Huh?" Aunt Alejandra happily said.

I started walking away even though my knees were shaking. People even turned to look at me because I was crying as I walked.

With each step I took away, it felt like time was slowing down.

With each step I took away, it felt like the world stopped.

With each step I took away, it felt like my heart was being squeezed tighter.

Maybe we weren't meant for each other since he was a Sun and I was a Moon.

That no matter what part we look at, we can't be together.

That we will never be.

Hard to say but I'm ready. I'm ready to let him go.
