**20 WAYS TO WIN YOUR EX BACK
STEP 9: KNOW YOUR ENEMIES AND BEFRIEND THEM.
I checked my book of ways to Win Him Back by Nik Rozon for the last time bago ko tiningnan ang babaeng nakaupo sa coffee shop. Am I really wanna do this? Befriend the current girlfriend of my ex?
I took a deep breathe at inumpisahan ko ng lumapit sa kinauupuan niya.
She was busy reading a book ng sa may harap na niya ako. She looked at me with that question look on her face like she was telling me, “Yes?”
Ngunit nawala ang pangungunot ng noo niya ng makilala niya ako.
“Andi?!” Audrei asked
“Yes. Hey!” I gracefully said
“Oh god. I didn't know it was you kung di kita tiningnan ng mabuti. What brought you here?”
“Do you mind?” Tinuro ko ang upuan sa harapan niya, I motioned if I can sit with her.
“Of course no. Sorry, I was caught of guard to the point that I didn't managed to let you sit. Gosh! Di lang ako makapaniwala na andito ka sa harapan ko. I almost didn't regognize you, And you know me!”
I touched the wig that I am currently using. I have this things for so long everytime I wanted to go out para iwas sa mga tao. I am wearing a wig and a big nerdy glasses right now. I even put my braces on and a casual wear to sum it up.
“Its okay, of course, I know you, you're Warren's current girlfriend.”
“So what brought you here? Stupid of me. Of course this is a coffee shop.”
Di niya ata nahalata ang sarcasm when I said she's Warren's girlfriend. Maybe I really did surprised her in the way she put a smile on her face. She's nervous and proud. Lalo na ng nagpalinga-linga siya.
“Are you with someone? How come people didn't recognize you?”
“Well, this wig and this goofy glasses helped me. And oh, I just wanted to stroll around and then I saw you here.”
Of course that's a lie! Kanina ko pa siya pinagmamanmanan at ngayon lang ako nakatyempong lumapit sa kanya. I smiled at her.
“Yeah, di nga kita talaga nakilala. You wanna eat something? I will call the waiter. Its my treat!”
Bago ko pa siya mapigilan ay nakuha na niya ang atensyon ng waiter. I really wanted to say that I don't like coffee.
I stared at Warren's girlfriend, she is really pretty and sweet. She always smile as if she the world is not too cruel to her. She seems so perfect....
“Sorry ha, nagiging hyper ako, paano naman kasi nasa harapan ko ang idol ko and I don't know what to do. Its just that, you really did surprised me!”
I gave her a smile at binigay ko na lamang ang order ko sa waiter, mukhang mahaba-habang usapan ang mangyayari sa amin ng babaeng ito.
“You like choco frappe?” She asked
“Yes. I am not a coffee person kasi and I am a big sucker of choco frappe.”
“Oh pareho pala kayo ni Warren. He hated coffee kaya everytime na andito kami, choco frappe rin ang order niya.”
“Yes and he loves to drink it while eating blueberry cheesecake!” Di ko napigilang idugtong.
Warren and I used to buy choco frappe always and blueberry cheesecake as merienda. I even used to make blueberry cheesecake for him.
“Oh, I thought he hated blueberry cheesecake? Sabi kasi niya allergic siya sa blueberry.” Audrei
Napatingin ako sa kanya. At kailan pa naging allergic si Warren sa Blueberry eh yun nga ang favorite niya? He'd rather eat blueberry cheesecake all day than to eat rice.
“Noong monthsary kasi namin, I made him a blueberry cheesecake but I end up eating it alone kasi di daw siya kumakain nun.”
“Ganoon ba?”
“Yep, how come you didn't know? You used to be friends right? and speaking of monthsary ay monthsary namin ni Warren tomorrow.”
Gusto ko sanang ihampas sa pagmumukha niya na more than friends kami ni Warren ngunit naalala ko, I should be close to her.
“oh really? Ilang months na kayo?”
I really sounded bitter. Damn. -_-
“We are now eight months. At first few months nga namin, we don't celebrate it, not that he dont want to celebrate, but he hated the idea of celebrating it every month, mas gugustuhin niya daw na i-celebrate pag nag one year na kami, which is I didn't like. Sino ba namang girlfriend ang ayaw mag celebrate ng monthsary diba?”
One thing I have learned to Warren's girlfriend ay madaldal ito. And Warren? Hated the idea of celebrating? How come? Noong kami nga kulang na lang oras-oras gusto niyang magcelebrate. We used to celebrate our weekseries, monthsaries, 100th day at kung naabutan pa sana namin ang anniversary namin.
Bago pa ako makasagot ay nagsalita ulit siya.
“I know I shouldn't asked you this or what, nahihiya rin naman akong magtanong sa barkada niya dahil napaka awkward, and I know you would understand me because you're a girl. Pero, I just wanna ask about Warren?”
“What about him?”
“Well, its not only about him but that girl who broke his heart before I came into his life. Kasi, I saw how bitter and hurt Warren was before. I saw how wasted and how jerk he was, akala ko nga wala ng pag-asang magbago siya, but he tried to change for good. I wanna ask if you know who that girl was? And if she has any idea how worse she inflected on Warren's life when she decided to broke his heart.”
“I.....I...”
“You know what, akala ko nga mga lalaki lang ang manloloko, yung kayang manakit ng sobra sa isang babae, but I was wrong, kaya rin pala ng babaeng manakit ng damdamin ng lalaki. Akala ko laging ang babae ang naaagrabyado, meron din palang mga lalaking labis masaktan ng taong mahal na mahal nila and Warren was one of the example of it.”
“Kasi....”
“You know what, I pity that girl, I pity her kasi mali yung taong sinaktan niya, mali yung taong iniwan niya, mali yung taong niloko niya, and I wanna shout on her face how stupid she was for letting a man go like Warren, how stupid she was for hurting Warren so much, but at the same time, I am thankful for her, thankful for breaking Warren's heart, kasi kung di niya ginawa, hindi kami magkakakilala ni Warren, I won't be the happiest girlfriend and luckiest girl kung di niya sinaktan si Warren. Shame on her for breaking his heart kasi di niya alam how nice Warren is, and how good he handles a relationship.
Nagbaba ako ng tingin, tinamaan ako sa mga sinabi niya, tamang-tama sa akin, kasi habang sinasabi niya ang mga katagang iyon, nakikita ko ang kasiyahan sa mga mata niya, nakikita ko ang fulfillment sa mga mata niya.
I think that girl was very pretty, and if I ever meet her? Ipapakita ko sa kanya kung anong klase ang taong binitawan niya. Kung gaano siya katanga ng iniwan niya si Warren, but damn her, kasi hanggang ngayon, kahit ako na ang mahal ni Warren, alam kong, ang alaala niya ang palaging pumapagitna sa relasyon namin ni Warren at alam kong kahit kailan hinding-hindi ko mapapalitan ang puwang niya sa puso ng taong mahal na mahal ko, pero di ako susuko. If ever I meet her? Hinding-hindi ko isusuko si Warren sa kanya.”
Tiningnan ko siya sa kanyang mga mata, at sinabi ang mga katagang mas nagpasakit sa damdamin ko.
"I never met the girl Warren fell inlove with before kasi nasa States na ata ako that time and i hardly communicate with my friends here in the Philippines. Siguro tama ka, tama kang, tanga nga ang babaeng iyon, tanga siya ng iwan niya si Warren, pero dapat, we should hear her side right? Maybe she had her reason why she left, at alam kong, kung may choice lang siya, di niya sasaktan si Warren, kasi alam kong mahal niya si Warren. Mahal ko si Warren"
The last four words was somewhat a whisper from my mouth and I was bet she didnt heard it,
"Yeah. Anyways, gusto mo ba akong samahan para bumili ng gift for our monnthsary? I hope you don't mind? para mawala sa atmosphere natin ang babaeng yun! nakakagigil kasi!"
Ganoon ba kagrabeng sakit ang ibinigay ko kay Warren na pati ang babaeng nasa harap ko, kinamumuhian ako?
