CHAPTER 10
PAIN is always in her eyes every time I look directly to her eyes. I know I hurt her but I can’t understand why she didn’t let me explain why I left that time
“Wow ang ganda ng speech mo munti na kong nadala pero sorry I’m not interested” then she enter the house. Just let me explain is it hard to her?
KEEP bothering me is his talent and it irritates me
“Get lost” I shouted him but he ignores me at umupo pa talaga sa tabi ko
“Ano ba?” galit na galit kong wika sabay tingin masama
“Hangang kelan mo ba patitigasin yang puso mo?” habang hawak ako sa makabila kong balikat
“Kapag matigas kana” tinangal ko angabigat na kamay nito sa balikat ko kaso wala paring epekto at pilit ako hinaharap sa kanya
“I’m hard now so stop it” teka parang ibang hard yung naisip ko walang hiya talaga tong lalaking to, sinuntok ko agad ang braso nito
“You manyak” pinagsisipa ko din ito kaso bigla nito kinuha ang paa at binuka, nangamatis ang mukha ko ng mapagtanto ko ang pwesto ko kaso mahigpit ang hawak nito sa hita ko
“Stop it baby someone will be wake up” nakangisi nitong wika sabay hila sa binti ko kaya ang ending nakakandong nako paharap dito
“Let me go” pilit kong hinihila ang hita ko
“I’ll let you go but you have to promise me to let me talk and explain everything” titig na titig na wika nito na parang binabasa ako
“Fine” labas sa ilong kong nasabi
“You really don’t want to be near on me?” parang malungkot ito, pero totoo ang sinabi nito dahil kapag malapit ako dito feeling ko mapapatawad ko agad ito kung sakali
“Explain” pag-iiba kong ng topic dahil ayokong sagutin baka masabi ko pa ang mga bagay ng gusto nitong marinig
“Where should I start?” parang hindi pa nito alam kung aano sisimulan ang kwento
“Just start why you left me?” I said and look away
“For you” simple but I can’t understand
“Elaborate Mr. Montallana” still not looking at him
“Look at me then I’ll tell you” he said and hold my hand, where sitting properly now but he’s still at my side kaya no choice tumungin ako dito
“I left because of you, your to young that time you have a lot of dream if I stay beside you I know you’ll never going to achieve that so that I choose to leave you” he sincerely said while looking at me
“Is that you can say?” walang emosyon kong wika naiinis kasi ako napakababaw ng rason niya para iwan ako pwedi namang nandyan siya sa tabi ko habang inaabot ko ang mga pangarap ko
“My grandfather died, Dad is a heir so we have to go back in Singapore because we need to manage his business” mapakla akong tumawa sa mga sinabi nito
“Then why you didn’t pick up the phone? All of you? Your Mom, your Dad?” I shouted in pain my tears is going to fall any moment but not now I can still hide it
“We don’t know. I thought you are going to asked me where am I so that I said to them not to pick up the phone like I do” doon sunod sumod akong napaluha dahil ang lalaking mahal ko at patuloy kong minamahal ang dahilan ng ka-miserablehan ko nung ako’y walong taong gulang
“I don’t know, we don’t know you got kidnapped that time if I know maybe we rescued you” guilt is over his face as he drying my tears that keeps falling because of pain
“I’m sorry baby, I’m sorry, Please forgive me, forgive us” nahihirapan na ito alam ko because his voice is starting to stammering
“Then why you didn’t search me after 2 to 3 or 4 years” I asked desperately
“Because I want to be successful so that if we meet I can get you and marry you, I want to be the best for you” napahagulgol ako ng marinig ko ang mga salitang marry and the best hindi ko alam na may balak pala itong pakasalan ako naalala ko amg sinabi nito nung nakaraan araw na wala itong minahal maliban sa kanya, hinila ako nito at niyakap ng mahigpit na parang ayaw akong pakawalan
“I’m sorry baby” as he kissed my forehead now that I hear his explanation I become shy all of the sudden I realized that everything he is for me. Galit ang pinairal ko dahil sa mga naranasan ko sa mga kumidnap sakin hindi ko man lang naisip na nasasaktan din ito sa nangyari dahil mahal na mahal ako nito
“I’m sorry” he never stop kissing my head I feel ease now after I heard the explanation, tama nga na kapag may problema dapat pinag-uusapan muna para hindi makagawa ng maling desisyon
“I want to sleep” I whisper to him, he carry me to my room and he carefully put me in the bed
“Just sleep I know your tired” handa na siyang lumabas ng hawakan ko ang kamay nito
“Don’t leave please” he look at and lay beside me. Kinuha niya ang ulo ko at inilagay sa braso niyo saka ako niyakap
“Okay sleep now baby”
“I lo---” before I can finish my sentence I fell asleep
“I love you” is the last thing I hear.
LOOKING and hugging her like this is a dream come true. I know she already made peace in mind. She’s pretty even she cried hard earlier I understand why.
“I love you baby” I said as she’ll hear me. For 12 years thinking of her is like a dream that can’t be reality but looking at her face this closed I know my dream is a reality now.
“Babawi ako it’s a promise” I said and kiss her lips but I get a slap from her
“Hhmmmp” looks like she thought I’m a mosquito so kiss her again but this time she woke up
“Hi it’s for dinner baby” I sweetly said unto her that makes her eyes open as wide as it could
“Your stealing a kiss on me Mr. Montallana” then look at me in a dangerous tone but I just winked at her and she blushed. Oh my sweet baby.
“Come here you have to eat before you eat me” I said as I spread my arms like a welcome hug, she stood up in bed then jump unto me as she buried her face on my neck. It means she accept my apologies.
