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

Chapter 37

I let the cold breeze from northeast hit my skin as I stood in front of the shoreline. Medyo nababasa ng tubig ang mga paa ko at bahagya rin na nililipad ng hangin ang buhok ko at ang suot na bestida.

I recalled what Aling Pacita told me earlier.

"Hihingiin niya raw ang kamay ni Hyannabi Cortes." She said. "Nangunot lang ang noo ng Tatay mo dahil hindi naman niya kilala ang tinutukoy ng doktor. Kaya kalaunan ay pumayag narin ang huli."

That son of a bitch! He used my temporary name because he knew that my father doesn't know about my real state yet! I don't know if I should be grateful or what.

Pinanood ko ang pinaghalong pagka-kulay kahel at pula ng kalangitan. Malapit nang lumubog ang araw at kitang-kita ko iyon sa repleksyon ng malinaw na tubig ng Isla De Verde.

I was busy enjoying my own solitude when I heard some noise not far from where I am standing. The sand beach is still white and clean. Wala paring pinagbago sa kagandahan ng Isla De Verde. Napanatili parin ng mga residente ang kalinisan at kaayusan ng lugar.

My eyes darted at the built of two tall men. Kumabog ang dibdib ko dahil parang pamilyar sa akin ang bulto ng isa sa dalawang lalaking kasalukuyang naglalakad patungong pier.

Abala parin ang mga ito sa pag-uusap na para bang seryoso ang kanilang pinag-uusapan at walang pakialam sa kanilang paligid hanggang mawala sa sa aking paningin. I don't know what's gotten into me because I followed then afterwards.

The sun is already settling down and there he was standing tall and proud while talking to Agamemnon. Nasa pier ang dalawa at mukhang paalis na ng isla si Adonis!

"Goddamn son of a bitch, he's really leaving me? Not again!" I hissed and without hesitation I strode my way towards the both of them.

Wala na akong pakialam kung ano man ang isipin niya. I wanted to tell him that I still love him and I want him back. Yes, I know what I did and it's really a stupid thing. Pero lahat naman tayo ay nagkakamali lalo na sa pagdedesisyon. We can't be hypocrites about that one.

Nakita ko ang gulat sa kanilang dalawa nang dumating ako at naabutan silang nag-uusap. I saw how surprised he is to see me in front of him but that emotion immediately faded and was replaced by a blank expression.

Parang pinipiga ang puso ko dahil sa ginagawa niya. He doesn't really want me anymore, does he? Kasi kung gusto niya pang magkaayos kaming dalawa ay hindi naman siya mismong lalayo sa akin 'di ba? He won't be distant to me.

I knew him. We won't be together if our relationship didn't worked out even just for once. I wouldn't love him if I don't know who he really is. He's the kind of man who will do anything just to make you happy. Just to see you smile. To make your life worth living.

He's willing to go through hell and moon and back just to be with you and make things work out but this time? I guess he's really tired of me. He's giving up on us because he finally found the girl he's willing to spend his whole life with and it's not me.

"Llantina, what are you doing here?" His brows furrowed in confusion. I looked at him with longing in my eyes. I wanted to make him feel my love for him.

"I should be the one asking you that, Adonis. What are you doing here? Akala ko ba hindi ka susuko? E, ano 'to?" I went close to him and pointed my finger on his chest firmly.

Gusto kong ilabas lahat ng hinanakit ko sa kan'ya. Nasasaktan ako ng sobra at ayoko ng ganito. What if I let him explain his side? What if we didn't reach this point where do we have to fall apart? What if I didn't let my stupidity kills me? What would happen to us now?
