Catch Me When I Fall (Isla De Verde Series #2)

Chapter 33

Once we invest too much feelings for someone then we have to pay the piper if we wanted to be truly happy. It's a matter of taking a risk or losing the chance.

When it comes to love, there are no certain thing. The only certain thing we could get is the happiness that it will give us once we succeeded.

Siguro nga ito na ang huling beses na makikita ko siya. Pero bakit sa isiping huling beses na naming pagkikita ito ay nasasaktan ako? Am I doing the right decision? Because honestly, once we made a decision there's no playback button. We couldn't take it back. The damage has been done and the person... are nowhere to be found.

Nakikita ko ang magandang ngiti sa mga labi ni Sariah habang nagsasayaw silang dalawa ni Lethal sa mabagal at malamyos na awit ng musika. Our decoration didn't go in vain because Lethal was in awe the moment he entered the venue. Everything was just so perfect but me.

I'm happy that Sariah finally found someone who can make her happy. Halos saksi kasi ako sa paghihirap ng huli sa tuwing nagkakasakit ang kapatid nitong si Sandy at halos mawalan na ng pag-asa. I could barely see the happiness in her eyes but when Lethal came into the picture everything went ecstatic.

I could see the passion and love in her eyes towards Lethal. Sa perspektibo ko ngayon ay hindi ko maiwasang makaramdam ng inggit sa kaibuturan ng puso ko. Ako kaya? Kailan ko kaya mararanasan ang nararanasan niyang pagmamahal at kaligayahan ngayon?

I mean, I'm not saying that I'm not happy right now but I know that it's not enough. Hindi naman sa nagiging abusado ako o ano pero pakiramdam ko talaga ay may kulang at hanggang ngayon ay May butas parin ang puso ko dahil doon.

Where could I find the happiness and love that I deserved?

Hindi nagtagal ay napagdesisyunan narin namin ni Kaye na umalis at iwanan ang dalawang mag-karelasyon doon na abala parin sa pagsasayaw at tila ba walang ibang nakikita bukod sa mukha ng isa't isa.

"Mauuna na ako, Miss Yana. Baka hinihintay narin ako ng boyfriend ko e," Paalam ni Kaye kaya naman tumango ako at kinawayan siya hanggang sa makaalis ang kotseng sinasakyan nito.

I heaved a deep sigh as I looked above the sky. The stars were shining bright and the clouds are dark but it didn't hinder me from appreciating the beauty of the night sky.

The cold breeze of the night hitting against my skin is making me shiver. Mahigpit akong napayakap sa aking katawan at magsisimula na sanang maglakad paalis ng venue upang maghanap ng masasakyang bus nang may mamataan akong isang bulto na papalapit sa kinaroroonan ko ngayon.

My mouth gaped open the moment I saw his full figure with the help of the moonlight illuminating him.

I don't know what to say, really. I thought he already left right after dropping me here? Pero bakit nandito pa siya at tila ba hinintay niya rin akong matapos?

"A-Adonis..." I whispered.

He's stride his way towards me making me initiate a step back. He stopped walking a few meters away from me. Siguro ay napansin niya ang biglaan kong pag-atras kaya hindi na niya pinilit pang makalapit sa akin.

"I waited for you..." He hoarsely said. "It's already late so I'll just drop you to your home."

Napakagat ako sa aking labi at napayuko. Sumasakit ang puso ko at hindi ko talaga matukoy kung bakit iyon nangyayari sa tuwing nakikita ko ang itsura niya.

I just nodded my head. Ayoko nang makipag-away pa sa kan'ya dahil pagod na akong itulak siya ng paulit-ulit at sigawan. Besides, he's already leaving me for good right after this. Hindi naman masamang hayaan siyang ihatid ako ngayon 'di ba?
