Chapter 58

Confession

I couldn't move. My whole body froze along with everything inside me.

"Is that how you want me to treat you, Cal? Ganoon ba?" Jax said with apologetic eyes. "Then I am so sorry because I am not that type of person, Cali."

Nagkakaigihan na ba sila ni Claire? O-Okay na siguro iyon? Gustong-gusto ko nang bawiin ang lahat ng sinabi ko sa kanya roon sa ospital pero nang makita ko sila ni Claire kanina, I don't know anymore.

Jax deserves happiness. After everything, he deserves it the most.

I stood still without showing any reaction. "Just please stop talking to me, Mr. Pereira."

Nagpamaywang siya. "Kakausapin kita ng kakausapin hangga't may bunganga ako, Ms. Gonzalez!"

Oh my God. He's acting like a child!

My forehead creased. "W-What is it that you don't understand? We're over, Jax. Bakit hindi ka na lang magpakasal tutal iyon naman dapat ang–

"Naririnig mo ba ang sarili mo, Cali?" he asked in dismay.

Unti-unti siyang lumapit sa akin. Sobrang lapit na namin sa isa't-isa ngayon at ni hindi na ako makaatras dahil tatama na ako sa pintuan.

"If you expect me to just move on with some girl and let you suffer alone, then maybe after all these years, hindi mo pa rin ako kilala," Jax said while looking at me straight in the eyes. "It's ride or die with you, Calixta."

My tears started to form around my eyes. Kanina ko pa iyon pinipigilan pero hindi ko na kaya ngayon.

"Kung akala mo pababayaan na lang kita, mali ka... I've waited two years without even knowing if you'll come back. And now that you're here, you expect me to leave you alone and move on because you're sick?"

Nagsimula nang tumulo ang mga namuong luha. Jax held my face and then he slowly wiped my tears using both of his thumbs.

"Kung may sakit ka, sasamahan kita sa sakit na 'yan. Hindi kita iiwan, kaya 'wag mo naman ako pagtulakan palayo. Hindi ako magmamahal ng iba."

Umiling-iling pa siya.

I cried harder after hearing those words. What would I do without him? My one and only mamon.

"Kahit ayaw kong iwan ka, paano kung 'yong buhay ko na ang magdesisyon, Jax? P-Paano na?" my voice were shaking.

I'm so scared that Jax may suffer to the risk I wanted to take.

"Then that's for me to figure out," Jax said and smiled at me. Muli niyang pinunasan ang mga luha ko gamit ang thumb niya. "Kasi kung mamamatay ka, mamamatay akong mahal ka. Ikaw lang, walang iba."

I immediately put my arms around him. Niyakap ko siya ng sobrang higpit. It was a sign that I'd never ever let go. Hindi na ulit.

I prayed so hard that night. Na sana, magkaroon pa ako ng mas mahabang oras. I don't want to leave yet. I can't leave yet.

Ilang araw na lang, birthday na ni Grant and wala pa akong gift sa kanya. Gosh!

I immediately called my friends, only to found out na meron na silang nabili! Xuri got him a Versace leather bag while Gelo got him a custom Rolex watch.

Now, I'm running out of ideas! Ano kaya ang bibilhin ko?

Jax Pereira: Gusto mo, samahan kita?
