~3 Years Later~
After Paris, Me And Chris Travelled The World
We Went To Mexico
Bangladesh
Japan
England
Russia
At Marami Pang Iba
After All The Travelling, We Went Back To Paris
In All Those Years We Haven't Experienced Sad Memories. It Was All Full And Overflowing With Happiness
I Never Wanted More. He Was Enough. He Fits Perfectly
A Deep Sigh Escaped My Mouth
But Now
We're Going Back There
Back To Where All The Bad Memories Are
Back To Where It All Began
I'm Scared. Really Scared
But Chris And I Promised That We Won't Ever Let Go Of Each Other. We Will Stand And Lean On Each Other. And We Will Fight For Each Other
"Takot Ka Parin Ba?" Napalingon Ako Sa Likuran Ko
"Chris" I Smiled
He Sat Himself Down Beside Me. His Hand Snaked To Hold Mine. I Smiled At Pinatong Ang Ulo Ko Sa Balikat Nya
He Intertwined Our Fingers Together
"I Feel Secure Now That You're Here" Malambing Kong Sabi
I Closed My Eyes And Sighed Happily. This Is What I Wanted. I Hope We Stay The Same
Binuksan Ko Ang Mga Mata Ko Nang Maramdaman Ang Pag Angat Nang Mga Kamay Namin. Napatingin Ako Dun
He Held My Hand As His Thumb Travelled Through My Fingers
"Hindi Ka Mahilig Sa Singsing?" He Suddenly Ask
I Smiled At Tiningnan Ang Kamay Nyang Busy Sa Pagdaloy Sa Bawat Parte Nang Kamay Ko
"What Are You Up To Mr. Ramirez?"
I Saw A Playful Smirk On His Face
"I'm Planning To Make You Mrs. Ramirez, Lea" He Looked At Me
Inangat Ko Ang Ulo Ko Para Mapantayan Ang Tingin Nya. I Smiled
"I Was Expecting You'd Say That"
He Leaned Forward For A Kiss
It Was A Long Kiss
When He Let Go Of The Kiss, INoticed That There Was Already A Ring On My Ring Finger
Napaawang Ang Labi Ko
"That Was Smooth" I Remarked
Napatingin Sya Sa Singsing "Do You Like It?"
Nilapit Ko Ang Singsing Sa Mukha Ko Para Makita Ito Nang Maayos
It Was Customized!
Napansin Ko Ang Vine-like Design Nito Paikot Sa Gold Metal Na Yumayakap Nang Daliri Ko. The Stone In The Middle Caught My Attention. It Was In The Center Of A Gumamela Shaped Based At Sa Bandang Gilid Nito Ay Isa Pang Gumamela Na Hindi Pa Bumubuka
"Ang Hilig Mo Sa Gumamela No?" I Smiled
He LaughedAt Tinuro Ang Singsing "Ako Ang Gumamelang Yan. Ayaw Kong Hindi Nakikita Ang Sarili Kong Hindi Ka Kasama"
Binangga Ko Sya Pagilid "Ang Corny Mo" I Smiled
Ewan Ko Pero Hindi Ko Matanggal Ang Mata Ko Sa Singsing
"Bakit Gumamela?"
I Felt His Hand Around My Shoulder. He Pulled Me Closer To Him
"Dahil Tulad Nang Gumamelang Yan, Hindi Ako Namumulaklak Pag Walang Araw"
Napangiti Ako. Tama Nga Naman. Tumitikom Ang Mga Bulaklak Nang Gumamela Pag Dumidilim, At Pag Sumisikat Ang Araw, Bubuka Ulit Ang Mga Ito
"So You Always Need The Sun To Stay Blooming"
"You're My Sun Lea"
I Smiled At Niyakap Sya. This Is The Last Moment We'll Be Having. Late, We'll Be Back In The Philippines. I'll Miss This View In Front Of Our Couch. I'll Miss This Place. This Peaceful Place
"Nandito Na Ulit Tayo" I Said Emotionlessly
Chris Held My Hand "I'm Right Here Lea. I'll Always Be" He Smiled
Naglakad Na Kami Papasok Sa Airport
But Instead Of A Peaceful Welcome Back Warmth, What Happened Was Really Terrible
I Saw How The Police Cornered Us. Chris Tightened His Hold
"Christian Gevino Alejandro Ramirez, You Are Under Arrest" Sabi Nang Officer Na May Pinakitang Piraso Nang Papel "Pusasan Nyo Sya"
"No!" Pigil Go Pero Kasunod Nun Ang Pagpupumiglas Ni Chris At Ang Dahan Dahan Nyang Pagbitaw Ka Kamay Ko "Chris!"
"Let Me Go! Wala Akong Kasalanan!" Pagpupumiglas Ni Chris
Lalaput Na Sana Ako Ngunit Pinipigilan Din Ako Nang Ibang Pulis
Tears Started To Pool And Flow Down My Cheeks "Chris!"
"Lea! I'll Be Fine Ok? Don't Worry About Me" Yun Nalang Ang Narinig Ko Bago Sya Nawala Sa Karamihan Nang Tao
Napatigil Din Ako Sa Pagpilit Na Malapitan Sya
"Lea" Napalingon Ako Kay Leo Sa Likod Ko
He Was Emotionless. Did He...
"Ikaw Ang May Gawa Nito?" I Asked
"No Lea. I Would Never Do This"
Imbis Na Pagdudahan Pa Sya, I Hugged Him
"Thank Goodness You Didn't" That Was What I Always Believed
Isang Salita Ni Leo Ay Pinapaniwalaan Ko Agad
"Whoever Did This Resented Chris So Much. I Wanted To Do This, Pero Naunahan Na Ako"
"Kuya, I Can't Live Without Him... Do Something Please" I Hugged Him Tighter And I Looked Up At Him "Ayaw Ko Syang Makulong"
"Lea, If I Can I Would. But Ths Man Behind This Is Way Too Powerful. Don't Worry, Hindi Kita Pagbabawalan Na Bisitahin Sya. I Know How Much You Loved Each Other"
"Miss Leonora Sanchez?" Kinalas Ko Ang Yakap Namin Ni Leo At Napatingin Sa Babaeng Nasa Harapan Ko Ngayon
"B-Bakit Po?" Napatingin Ako Sa Hawak Nitong Folder
"Ako Si Attorney Devorah Peñeda, Lawyer Of The Resident Who Had Christian Ramirez Arrested. Gusto Lang Tong Ipabigay Nang Nagpaaresto Kay Mr. Ramirez" Napasulyap Ito Sa Likod Ko
"S-Sino Ang Nagpabigay Nito?" Tinanggap Ko Ang Folder
Agad Namang Bumalik Ang Mga Mata Nito Sa Akin
"I'm Sorry Miss Sanchez Pero, Hindi Ko Po Pwedeng Sabihin" Sumulyap Ulit Ito Sa Likuran Ko "Anyway, I Have To Go Miss Sanchez" Tumingin Ito Kay Leo "Sir" Tumango Ito Bago Umalis
Napatingin Ako Sa Folder Na Iniwan Nito Da Aking Mga Kamay
My Hands Were Shaking. Pero Hinayaan Ko Lang Yun. At Pinilit Ko Paring Buksan Ang Folder
What I Saw Shocked Me
:The Murder Of Mr. Leonardo Alonzo Sanchez
Murder? Napatingin Ako Kay Leo. Eyes Wide. I Saw That Look On Leo's Face. Umigting Ang Panga Nya. Nabasa Nya Rin Ang Nabasa Ko
:Witness Has Admitted That Mr. Christian Gevino Alejandro Sanchez Is Guilty Of The Crime
I Can't Believe This. I Just Can't. Pano Nya Magagawa To?
He Wouldn't. He Won't Even Try It
But... Did He?
