Miss Glamorous and I

20

I was shocked to hear her voice pero kinalas ko din agad yung braso niya before I moved away from her.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito..."

"Lance..."

"Briella, hindi ako para sayo, haha. Sorry. I can't continue with all this" sambit ko and I was about to walk away pero yumakap lang ulit siya saken

"Briella ano ba bitaw."

"No!"

"Briella please" sambit ko stopping myself from crying still trying to get away

"No! No! No!" Paulit ulit na sigaw niya saken

"Briella hindi mo ba ko naiintindihan? Hindi nga tayo pwede!"

"Bakit?! Ha?!"

"Lahat sila namatay dahil saken! Naiintindihan mo ba yun?! All I heard was they loved me! Pero ano?! Wala na sila pareho!"

"Lance, hindi mo kasalanan yun!"

"Yes it is my fault!! Nagrebelde ako sa magulang ko with the thought na hindi ako mahalaga sa kanila! Kay mama! Nainvolve ako sa gulo na sa pagtakbo ko hindi ko namalayang nasa gitna na ko ng kalsada! Tinanggap ko non na mamamatay ako pero ano?! Niligtas ako ng nanay ko!"

"Lance..."

"I should've died instead of her! Tapos si Keanna! Again! Hindi ko na naman alam na mahal niya ko! I ended up ignoring what she feels again! That she killed herself! Now you tell me?! How can I not blame myself?! Huh?!"

Briella's PoV

"Umuwi ka na Briella" sambit niya after calming down sa mga sinabi niya. Umiiyak na din ako sa harapan niya pero wala akong masabi

Nang hindi ako kumibo nagsalita siya ulit

"You don't want to leave? Then I will"

"P-pero Lance..." sambit ko biting my lips

"Tama na Briella"

"Lance mahal na kita... h-how can I leave the person I love suffering like this?"

"What?"

"Yung... yung narinig mo kanina, ate yun ni Keanna... she... she brought home a box of letters... the letters you wrote for me..."

"Ano?"

"Keanna... hid all those letters from me... wala akong alam Lance... I didn't know you loved me ever since... She came forward telling me that all those letters were brought home by Keanna and she's returning them to me, as the rightful owner"

Huminga ako ng malalim bago nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita

"Minahal na kita Lance... from the times we spent together, minahal na kita... but... but those letters sealed it... sana lang Lance... sana lang ingatan mo sarili mo... mahal kita... mahal na kita sobra. K-kung ayaw mo na muna ako makita maiintindihan ko naman... ingatan mo lang sana sarili mo Lance..." sambit ko before I turned my back on him wiping my tears

"Paniwalaan mo lang na mahal kita... hinding hindi ako mawawala sa tabi mo. Pangako yan"

Ayoko mang maglakad palayo pero kung yun ang gusto niya hindi ko na lang muna ipagpipilitan ang sarili ko... h-he's been through a lot and giving him time for himself will be the least I can do for him
