Pero makalipas ang ilang buwan ay nakapag-move na si Rafael at tanggap na ang kinauwian ng kanilang relasyon ni Malaya.
"I'm okay now. Like I always say, Mom is always right. Tama si Mommy, wala talagang magagawa ang pagmumukmok sa bahay. Move on lang, start facing your life. There's always a lesson learned, there's always something to gain...
"It's up to you if you want to look at the glass half empty or half full. So in this case, I decided to look at it as a lesson learned and move on with my life. It helped me to be more adventurous now, I've been traveling a lot, mga spontaneous trips," lahad ni Rafael sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal).
According to Rafael, wala na silang komunikasyon ni Malaya. Wala na rin daw para magkabalikan sila ng ex-girlfriend.
"Regarding reconciliation, hindi na, e. If it's over, it's over, ganun lang naman yun. Wala na rin kaming communication. I think it's for the best na talaga. Not naman I really want to cut the communication, pero kung hindi naman kami, why do things that will complicate even more?
"Pinag-isipan ko 'yan. It's over now and I have moved on. If she moves on and she finds happiness, it's better. At least, hindi lang ako ang nagmu-move on, siya rin."
Is he dating now?
"I hang out with friends, pero yung date talaga, wala. Hindi ako magaling sa dates, e," sabi ng aktor.
What are the lessons he learned sa pinagdaanan niyang relasyon?
"Patience and, next time, huwag mo na lang sigurong ibuhos ang lahat. I mean, trust, but there's always a tendency to doubt talaga. I guess you have to face reality, bad stuff happens. Just enjoy life to the fullest."
KNEE INJURY. Sa ibang balita, nagkaroon pala ng knee injury si Rafael kamakailan.
"Nag-surfing ako sa La Union, nadaganan ako ng wave. Kung ang tuhod mo ganun mag-bend, pumasok siya nang paloob. Parang na-invert yata. Hindi ako makalakad for a week. Dapat three weeks ko imo-moblize, pero matigas ang ulo ko. Tinanggal ko after one week para makapag-taping. Okey na naman siya, pero kailangang ipahinga pa rin," kuwento niya.
Regular na mapapanood si Rafael sa ASAP '09 at sa Your Song Presents Underage.
