Shame

Nagising ako sa katok ni Drisella sa pintoan. Nagtungo muna ako sa banyo upang mag ayos. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes are swollen because of too much crying, my lips is pale. I think I lost weight too. I look so horrible!

Ng lumabas na ako sa kwarto sinalubong niya agad ako ng ngiti at hinila sa dining area. She bought foods.

Nakahanda na doon ang pagkain. But unlucky it was all seafood.

"Hindi mo ba gusto ang pagkain, Ate?" Tanong niya ng makita ang aking reaksyon.

"Thank you for the meal, Dria, but I'm allergic to seafood." Pilit na ngiti ko dito.

Nanlaki ang mata niya.

"Ate, I didn't know."

Niligpit niya ang kanyang dinala at sinauli ito sa isang bag.

"It's okay, mayroon pa naman siguro naiwan ulam kagabi. " Saad ko at nagtungo sa refrigerator at kinuha ang pagakin kagabi para initin ito.

Umopo si Dria sa stool ng counter top habang ako naman ay pinipindot ang microwave.

"Ate, Dad did something to your issue. Nawala na, Ate... If you want? I'll help you file a case against your friends... I mean ex friends."

I sighed heavily. There's no beed for that they already tainted my name.

"Dria, if it's not too much to ask, pwede mo ba akong bilhan ng plane ticket? For sure mom block all of my accounts... I called my grandmother last night, at gusto niya akong pumunta doon."

Tumango siya. "Sure Ate, kahit ngayon na ako mag book. Maybe I can book a fligth tonight...kung gusto mo?"

"The sooner the better. I wanted to get out of here..."

"What are your plans, Ate? Babalik ka pa ba dito?"

I moisten my lips and stared at nowhere.

"I don't know, Dria...ang mas gusto ko ngayon ay makapaglayo layo..."

Naibook nga ako ni Drisella ng flight ngayong gabi. Sinamahan ako ni Drisella buong umaga at hapon sa condo, though were not really talking she was just watching movies.

Umuopo ako sa isahang sofa at tinignan ang pinanuod niyang palabas. I pursed my lips and stood up as memory started to appear in my head. Nag kulong ako ulit sa kwarto at umopo sa lapag habang nakasandig naman ang aking katawan sa kama. Pinagmasdan ko ang magandang panahon sa labas. The sun was shining bright the clouds were perfectly white and the sky was so blue. I feel like staring at a painting.

Nahawakan ko ang kwintas na binigay ni Enzo. Nagyuko ako at pinagmasdan ito. My heart ache remembering the first time he wore it to me. Inabot ko ang lock at tinaggal ito sa aking leeg. Nilagay ko ito sa aking pitaka at nagpatuloy sa pag titig sa langit.

My life seems to have lost its color. All I can see was dull white and black. I was emotionally tired of thinking about how my love once turned their back on me. Kung paano hindi nila ako pinaniwalan o dininggin man lang ang aking explinasyon. Enzo... I expected him to trust me, to hear my explanation first, before judging. Kasi kilala niya ako. He know I  won't do such a thing... I can even let Lyssa be my witness for all these accusations.

I texted her last night too before turning off my phone.

Galina Isabella Higuera

Lyssa, please don't blame your self for what happened to me it was not your doing, I'm sorry if I acted like that yesterday I was just emotionally hurt. I felt very betrayed... And I thank you very much for saving me. I owe my life to you, someday I will return your kindness.
