POST MORTEM

I came home yesterday afternoon to find someone waiting for me in bed.

Now, maybe you're thinking, "Ooohhhhh...Jay?"

Nyahahahahaha! I WISH.

Smoking in my bed with 2 bottles of red horse beside her and looking really glum was my friend, C.

I spent my Monday consoling this girl who went berserk after she found out that 2 months after their break-up, her ex had somebody new. She even went through all the trouble of looking for the girl in friendster and scrutinizing her.

I was under the impression that she was coping with the break-up very well. Au contraire! She met up with her ex last Monday because she felt they needed closure and she wanted to return the ring the ex had given her. Her sister and I met up with her for drinks after that and I tried to cheer her up by saying that the Bvlgari ring she gave back was more worthy of her tears than her ex. I even suggested that we take a moment to remember how gorgeous that ring was. Hahahaha!

Before getting off the car that night, I told her to tell herself what she told me during my last break-up: that I should be happy because someone new is bound to love me and that means, a new love story is about to unfold (And true enough, I'm experiencing a wonderful one now) and isn't that something to look forward to?

So anyway, going back to yesterday. As soon as I got to my room, I asked,

"What's wrong, what happened?", I asked while I changed to my house clothes.

"I miss [insert ex's name]!!!", she wails.

"Wha?! But I thought we were over this?"

"Oh c'mon Bunny, you know how this feels like, you understand, right? Which brings me to this question, How'd you get over your last break-up?"

That made me wonder. Lately, my life has been so full of love from family, friends and Jay that I no longer remember just how hard the process of breaking up and getting over someone is. And all I could tell my friend C was that I didn't really have a hard time getting over my last failed relationship because I had already gotten to the point where I was fed up and did not want to make the relationship work anymore. And that's really the truth. Then my friend says that she's not sure if she can still go through it.

"C, you were able to go through this smoothly for 2 whole months. I don't understand why you're acting like this only after he told you that he found someone new?"

"Oo nga noh...bakit kaya?", she says.

I shrug my shoulders and say, "Beats me."

But seriously, BAKIT NGA BA? Is it just pride, this prior claim we had over that person? Or does it mean that our heart still beats for this former lover? If her ex didn't tell her he had a new girlfriend, would my friend still be moping?

Whatcha think?
