CHAPTER 27
AUTHOR'S P.O.V.
“Will you marry me?”
Tumakbo si Lea palayo sa kanyang mahal, pumasok na siya ng elevator, iyak ng iyak. Iniisip niya ba kung tama o mali ang kanyang ginagawa, ang gusto lang naman niya na maging ligtas sila sa media kahit masakit.
Tumakbo siya papunta sa entrance, walang pake sa mga taong nakatingin sa kaniyang paglabas ng walang paalam. “Leanna Katarina!”
Nakita niya ang truck na palapit sa kaniya, she wore black for a reason, and it’s to blend in the road.
The truck driver noticed Lea’s presence in the road. He pulled the brake hard but it’s not enough. Meanwhile John, who was crying so hard, was running to her.
She smiled at her and said the word she was practicing a lot of times.
“I will die for you,”
She pushed John and got hit by the truck.
John can’t control his feelings, he was left dumbfounded, he was left all alone.
Agad siyang lumapit kay Leanna na duguan. “Leanna?”
Umiyak siya ng umiyak.
“Kalimutan mo na lang ako basta wag kang mamatay.”
He didn’t know she could hear him.
Hindi sumama si John sa hospital dahil dun na niya sisimula ang paghihiwalay sa kanyang mahal. Masakit para sa kanilang dalawa pero mas lalo silang masasaktan kung ipagpapatuloy nila ito.
It’s the best for them.
“Doc. Adrian!”
Adrian noticed the body that passed him. He clearly noticed the features. “Leanna?”
Sumama siya sa room, tinulungan niya ng iligtas si Lea. Ginawa niya ang lahat, he sat on the floor, crying.
He tried his best.
“Sorry Doc, masyadong mahina na po talaga si Ma’am Leanna.” He cried and blamed himself, once again.
“It’s okay, we did our best.”
“We save her life but we can’t save the memories.”
Leanna has amnesia. She hit her head too hard. “Everything will be on repeat.”
He wants to kiss her forehead but he thought her boyfriend will be angry and worried.
Lumabas na siya ng room, naghihintay na si Abigail, Amelia, Dean at Lucas.
“Kuya Adi!” The youngest hugged her Kuya Adi that she missed so badly.
“Nasan boyfriend niya?” the gang went silent when he asked. Dean punched the wall, and his hand began to bleed.
“They broke up.” Amelia cried in Lucas’ arms. Lucas shows the people who witnessed the accident to Adrian.
“Nag-aaway po sila tapos ‘yun nadisgrasya po si Ma’am.”
“Where’s kuya John?” tanong ni Abigail.
“Kala nga po namin sasama sa hospital pero hindi na daw po. Pero may gusto daw po siyang sabihin kay Dela Cruz ata.”
Lumapit si Adrian sa dalawang lalaki. “Pasabi daw po na,”
“She’s all yours,”
Nagulat si Adrian sa sinabi ng binata. Pinaalis na ni Dean ang dalawang lalaki kasi gabi na. Pinahatid niya ang dalawa sa driver niya.
“What the fuck? Amnesia? Again?” nasa office na silang lahat. Abigail and Dean were still awkward after meeting again. They have iron walls in front of them.
“Binibisita na ni Mr. and Mrs. Adair si Leanna. Nagpapakilala na ulit sila.” Amelia reported to them. She was having other thoughts.
“Mas maganda ‘yun, wag na lang natin ipaalala ang nakaraan. Tungkol kay John at kung saan-saan. Wag natin siyang i-overwhelmed.” Sabi ni Adrian sa lahat ngunit nasa isip pa rin niya ang sinabi ng binata kanina, ang isang pangungusap na sinabi ni John.
She’s all yours.
“Bakit agad niyang binitaw si Lea kung mahal niya talaga siya?” na patanong na lang si Adi, hindi nila alam kung bakit ganito ang ginawa ni John, ang mawala ang kanyang minamahal.
“Maybe, nalaman na ni Kuya John ‘yun totoo since, uhmm.” Abigail stuttered as she nervously played with her fingers. Their stares made her even more overwhelmed.
“What is Abi?” Amelia held her hands but she was shaking too, they have different problems but their focus was on Lea who doesn’t know what is happening.
“I think kuya John knew the truth when he proposed to her,” Abigail hid her face with her hands then cried again. She is in pain because her best friend is in pain too.
All of them are in shock but not Adrian. He knew this was coming because of the drama that happened, accidents on her parents, burned hospital and injured Leanna. He knew the truth when Mr. Adair said the same thing to her.
“I think he’s in shock. We can’t make decisions when were sad.” Lucas said while hugging Amelia and Abi who were crying so badly.
“What if he’s happy?”
They all turned their heads to Dean who had just spoken until now. “He’s happy that he knew the truth yet in pain.”
“He already made his decision and he will never get it back.”
That was the last thing he said before he walked out of the room. Everyone in the room kept silent but Dean was thinking something else that made him loud and crazy.
Dean, who experienced all the hardships of the group, blamed himself as he didn’t support the group when it’s breaking into little pieces. He’s in the center but kept it’s position in the end.
In the end, he’s the last one standing so firmly watching his friend break down into pieces.
He was walking but his mind was in another place. Abigail who watched him in the hallway, punching the wall and now on his knees, begging to turn back time.
The gang was in pain but yet instantly recovering.
She stopped him with a tight hug. Dean who is a selfish person became selfless,
Abigail who wants to be alone wants someone to be with her,
Lucas who makes everyone smile, make himself smile too.
Amelia, who has a good heart, became more and more nice and thought about herself more.
Adrian who left everything in the past, now returning to its past.
Lastly, John who is in front of a grave that has a familiar name.
Lea Karina Ruz Adair
Forever in our hearts.
He kneeled down on the muddy grave, put some fresh flowers and lit up some candles. Finally, he looked at the ring, which was supposed to be in Leanna’s fingers, on his hand, waiting for its owner.
Poor Lea died at such a young age. He quickly noticed the other grave beside her. It’s a boy.
Mark Josh Bautista Dela Cruz.
Dela Cruz, it’s Adrian’s dead brother who died in the accident with Lea.
Binaon niya ang singsing sa gitna ng dalawang tombstone na lumang-luma, halatang walang bumibisita.
“I thought, you’re the one Lea, but your sister caught my heart. I’m sorry you ended up in this situation.”
“Rest well Lea.”
Nagtanim siya ng bulaklak kung saan niya binaon ang singsing para matandaan niya kung nasaan ang singsing.
“I have to go.”
He smiled at the lifeless tombstone.
“It’s the start of something new,”
“Giving myself another chance,”
“It’s either to change or to remember.”
