The Batangas getaway. "Eve and Edryan's bday celebration."

Balai Laiya, San Juan, Batangas. November 13-24, 2010.

My first time in Batangas. Thanks to the SOC pipz for making me a guest of the event.

a dance of goodbye

The music has changed. The DJ replace the loud music into a sweet love song. 

I was caught alone, standing in the middle of the crowd of pairs. I was walking to get out of the dance floor when someone familiar is in my way. She gives me a smile and I smile back. I was going to pass to her when she suddenly holds my hand and said "wait hugo."

She's holding my hand so tight. She began to put my hands on her hips and place her hand in my shoulder. I'm puzzled that time because months ago we had a quarrel and after that day we never been in good terms.

A while I realized we're already dancing in a song that we used to sing. I was looking at her eyes without any miss. Her lovely eyes is melting my soul. I said "hi, I'm sorry.." she urgently said "sshh.. cut it out, I know everything..."

Hearing her words is enough to give me tears. She said "why have you done that? what's your plan?" I replied "I know I will never be in your heart as it belongs to someone else." 

She started to cry and said "after knowing my dark past, you still have your affection with me." I said "my dear, I was afraid that my emotion was already driving me to nothingness. I only care for you to be happy." She says "Mike is now again my bf. and...." I interrupted and said "oh! its the end of the song. It seems there will be a heavy rain, my friend."

She asked me this "So you still going to leave us?" I look away to the vast of people and replied "I have enough of the hard things in this place, I believe my place is not, here maybe

in some place.

She ask me again. "When will I see you again?" I said "Maybe in some other time. The song has ended, what a convenient way for me to say goodbye..."

I turned my back and low my head, as the tears is heavily flowing, "well, you take a good care of yourself, don't cry again, and finally THANK YOU."

I now walk away from the dance floor. I saw Mike and passed him, I bet he saw us. I harshly walk in my car. Then I drive my car, I'm in tears and my hands are shaking...

so it is a dance of goodbye....
