"Hellian..."
Napatingin siya sa akin, hindi pa rin nawawala ang naka-plastar niyang ngiti.
"Yes, baby," tanong niya. Lumapit siya at niyakap ako ng mahigpit.
"What's Bothering you? Care to tell me? What is your problem," Sunod sunod na tanong niya.
Binigyan ko siya ng munting ngiti at niyakap siya ng mahigpit.
"Hey... " Malunay na pag-alo niya sa akin, hinaplos haplos niya ang buhok ko gaya ng dati niyang ginagawa.
"I love you..." Bulong ko sa kaniya. Narinig ko ang mahinang tawa niya. It gives me comfort.
He kissed my right cheeks and after that he tackled me to his face. Nag salubong ang aming mga mata. I can see the shadow of happiness in his eyes, and that's me, I saw myself in his eyes.
"I love you too," he said as he claimed my lips to him. Dinama ko ang halik na iginawad niya sa akin. Tinugon ko iyon ng buong buo dahil baka huli na ito.
"Ian..." Seryoso ko siyang tinignan sa mga mata. He is still confused about what I'm doing or he's just acting like doesn't know everything. He's capable of knowing everything yet he's acting like nothing will happen, and it hurts me so much.
"Let's end this..."
Lumayo ako sa kaniya, kita ko ang seryosong pag titig niya sakin, sinusuri ang binitawan kong salita.
"What are you saying baby? Don't make a joke, it's not funny."
Umiling ako at iniwasas ang kamay niyang nag tatangkang humawak sakin.
" Why," wala sa sarilling tanong niya.
"I want to explore; I don't want to be here with you forever. I'm still too young to be stuck here."
" Alana, what's wrong? Nasasakal ka ba sakin? Tell me baby,I will change it for you, just please don't leave me."
Hindi mapigilan ng mata ko na bumuhos ang luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilan.
"Yes, nasasakal ako... so please let me go, let me grow. Napilitan lang ako na sagutin ka because you have money and i need it, thank you and i'm sorry."
Alam ko sa sarili ko na kabaliktaran ang sinasabi ko, but i don't have a choice. I'm sorry for being a coward.
I didn't mean to hurt him; it's just I don't have the choice. If only I was strong enough, hindi na sana ako nahihirapan.
"So, my mom is telling the truth?"
Natatawa Na ani nito sakin. Nag iwas ako ng tingin nang tumitig siya sakin.
"You're taking advantage of my wealth and my powers and for being an immortal. What a stupid mechanism."
I wipe my tears. Ang sakit, sobrang sakit.
"I thought you were different, "umiling iling siya, disappointed.
"But like those beggars, you're deceiving someone for money, using your innocent face, and using your sick brother to scam me, what's next? Using your body for money, what a convincing bitch you are," dagdag niya.
Halos manginig ang aking katawan sa binitawan niyang mga salita.
"I don't want to see your face here in my house, pack all your things and leave," he said in a final tone, and then leave me broken into pieces.
This memory will be forever engraved in my heart, and I will never forget it, until I die, until my hair turns into white, this will remain in my memory.
