Closure
It’s like all of my senses easily shut down the moment those words slipped his sharp mouth, annihilating my ability to talk. I’m sure my expression is priceless at this moment. Because who wouldn’t be right?
Harap-harapan niyang sinabi ang mga katagang iyon na parang napakadali lang..
My lips formed into a thin line. He said those words without weighing the outcome and the deep meaning of it. How can he win me back when in the first place he has a girlfriend... not that the idea favors me.
At sa pagkakaalam ko, hindi ganito ang sinalubong niya sa akin noon. The Drake that I cursed multiple times in my head due to his attitude. Sa tingin ba niya gano'n na lang ako kadali bumigay?
“We’ll talk right here, right now.” he uttered with regality.
Napailing ako, sinubukan kong buksan ang pinto ngunit naka-lock iyon.
“What’s there to talk about, Drake? We’re both wasting our time here, so better just open this door and let me leave.” I said through my gritted teeth.
I’ve said this before, hindi ako pumunta dito para sa kaniya. If anything, for tita Clarries and tito Emmanuel to asked for their forgiveness. Kahit sinabi na sa akin ni mama na napatawad na nila ako, hindi pa rin ako matatahimik hangga't hindi ko mismo naririnig.
Even though we’re not really blood related, sa mata nila magkapamilya pa rin kami.
Drake looked at me with a hint of disappointment.
“Why are you doing this?” tanong niya na may himig ng pagkabigo.
Natigilan ako.
“What? I’m not doing anything, Drake. Stop accusing me of something I didn’t even do.” I replied, his lips twitched.
Sinubukan kong muli ang buksan ang pinto pero hindi ko pa rin talaga mabuksan.
“You want me gone, remember?” I added after a seconds of serene silence.
I nibbled on my lower lip when I remember his trenchant words. The way he made it feels like I doesn’t belong here. Na parang wala na akong babalikan…
Mariin siyang napapikit. “You left me, Angel.” he said in a low yet perilous voice.
Parang doon palang dapat alam ko na ang kaniyang dahilan.
Nang muli siyang magmulat ng mata, gusto ko nalang lumabas at iwasan siya. Are we seriously going to talk about this here? Sa loob ng sasakyan?
“Wala akong alam sa sinasabi mo.” I pretended before shaking my head.
Kinakabahan ako sa mga posibleng marinig mula sa kaniya. Hindi ako informed na pag-uusapan pala namin muli ito. I don’t know how to defend myself, dahil aminado akong may kasalanan ako sa parteng iyon.
And I seriously don’t know how to rebut my side and make him understand my selfish reason. Limang taon na ang lumipas. Matagal na… huli na..
Drake laugh without humor, “Now you’re playing the innocent card here,. Ganyan ka ba talaga ka manhid at walang pakialam sa nararamdaman ko?”
Muli akong napalunok, parang may nagbabara sa lalamunan ko sa mga oras na ito.
How did I end up being in this situation? Gusto ko lang naman mamili ng damit, ngunit bakit ganitong nahihirapan na naman ako?
“Drake, if I were you iuwi mo nalang ako.” halos pabulong kong sagot. Nakuyom ko ang dalawang kamay.
Kahit ilang taon na ang lumipas, hindi pa rin ako handa sa usaping ito. I’m scared at the same time feeling hurt.
