Desperation

Lick a ticking bomb my fantasy suddenly turned off. Natauhan ako at tinulak siya papalayo sa akin ng makita ang paninitig ni Ate Diana sa akin.

He looks shocked at what I did. His eyes looks so hurt. He moisten his lips.

"Gal..."

I saw the fear in his eyes the moment I hid my arm on my back when he tried to reach me. Naiwan sa ere ang kanyang kamay. Agad ko siyang tinalikuran at nagmamadaling lumabas ng mansyon. He was just behind me straying.

"Galina!"

Hindi ko pinansin ang tawag niya at nagmamadaling lumabas. I can wait in the car or maybe I'll just go home.

Hindi ko mapapanatag pag nandito siya malapit sa akin. Someone might be following him like, his girls at makikita ako then the whole world will know I'm alive. My dream of having a peaceful life will vanish if he keeps on staying here.

"Gal..."Masuyo nitong saad at hinuli ang aking braso. Pinaharap niya ako sa kanya.

"Ano ba talagang sadya mo dito, Enzo!?"

Huminga siya ng malalim bago bumaba ang kamay niya sa aking palad. Nilayo ko ito at bahagyang tumagilid upang hindi matitigan ang kanyang mukha.

"I'm here to earn your forgiveness and your heart back..." Mahina nitong aniya.

I smiled without humor and turned my back at him. Kahit madilim nakikita ko parin ang repleksyon ng mata niya dahil sa ilaw ilang metro ang layo sa amin.

"I can give you my forgiveness, but my heart?... I'm sorry Enzo pero umuwi kana lang sa Manila!"

"I...I can't... I've been through hell without you! I can't go back without you, Gal!"

"Enzo, I told you I don't want to deal with another problem because I'm exhausted! You don't know what I've been through, and I don't want to experience those horrible things again. So go back and live your life in Manila, and don't bother me... Stay away from me!"

"Sabihin mo sa akin, Galina! Sabihin mo sa akin, kung paano ako mabubuhay kung ikaw ang buhay ko!"

"Nakaya mo ng ilang taon kayanin mo ulit ngayon..."

"Gal..."

Nanlaki ang mata ko nang yumukod siya at lumuhod sa aking harapan. His voice weakens. I breathe a lot of air when he look up with his bloodshot eyes that were filled with longing, sorrow, and melancholy.

I look around to see if somebody saw us but there was none. Masyadong madilim kung saan kami.

"Enzo!"

I tried stopping him but he wasn't listening.

My heart was beating so loud and fast as I watch him kneel in front of me.

"...if living means seeing you then I would settle for less...love..."He said the last word almost in a whisper. "...Let me see you even from afar! Hmm?... I swear I'll be satisfied from afar, I promise I wont go near you, I promise just let me see you..."

Mariin akong napapakit.

"I was so lost Enzo...I was so lost for the past few years, trying to start my life again. Trying to forget my life as Galina...Eto na ako! unti unti na akong nasasanay, unti unti ko nang natatanggap na hindi ko na maibabalik pa ang kahapon. Pero eto ka! palagi kanalang sumusulpot at sinisira ang mga plano ko!"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry if I wasn't there when you needed me!" He said with a strained voice.

"Sagutin mo nga ako! Bakit ka nga ba wala nang kaylangan na kaylangan kita? Dahil nandidiri ka sa akin hindi ba?"
