Run
"R-Really?" Selene's voice shook more. She bit her lower lip and stared more intently to prevent her tears from falling.
Nagtiim ang aking labi at medyo sumikip ang dibdib dahil sa nakikitang gustong-gusto niya nang umiyak.
I gave her a small smile. I also sighed deeply because I felt my eyes tearing up too. Shit.
Marahan akong tumayo at suminghap. I felt her hold me by my arm, like she didn't want me to sit.
"H-Hey... just lay down, Blair. I know your head is aching." She said, stuttering at the first word.
Lalo kong ginustong makaupo nang maayos dahil sa panginginig ng boses niya. At parang hinaplos din ang puso ko dahil alam kong kahit gusto niya nang umiyak ay nakukuha niya pa ring mag-alala sa akin.
Nang makaupo ako nang maayos ay nilingon ko na siya. My eyes widened when I saw her tears already silently flowing.
"S-Selene..." My voice also stammered.
Hinawakan ko ang kanyang kamay at agad ko namang naramdaman ang paghawak niya rin doon. She slowly intertwined our fingers, and when we successfully held each other's hands, she softly pulled me closer to her.
Tumama ako sa kanyang balikat. Agad niyang pinulupot ang mga braso sa aking katawan at ibinaon ang mukha sa aking leeg.
"T-Thank you. Thank you, Blair. Thank you so m-much..." She whispered those words repeatedly. I could hear her faint whimpers like she was just sobbing, but I knew that she was crying very hard because of the trembling of her shoulders.
Dahil doon ay umawang ang aking labi at hindi ko namalayang tumulo na rin ang mga luhang pinipigilan ko rin kanina.
"Thank you for giving me a chance again. Thank you for giving us a chance again, Blair. T-Thank you so much." Lalong humigpit ang kanyang yakap sa akin at napailing-iling pa sa leeg ko na tila hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala.
I closed my eyes tightly as I slowly hugged her back. This woman... loves me so much. She accepted me. Understood and loved all my flaws, got into an accident because of me, but still didn't waver.
"I love you so much, Blair. I'm so in love with you. It never faded, it just keeps getting stronger every time I breathe." She uttered and cried more. I felt her peck my neck.
Napatango ako nang marahan at hinaplos ang kanyang buhok. I really... love her too. I really do. I always do.
Tahimik na tumutulo ang mga luha ko. I'm feeling love for her and pain for myself and what happened to us. I'm feeling so sad for all the times I've made her feel like I don't love her anymore.
Is it worth it to really go back? What if I hurt her again? What if I make a mistake again? What if I screw up again? What if I do something again that will cause her so much pain?
My mind went blank when she ran her hand from my back to my nape and finally to my hair. She caressed my hair gently, and I felt another gentle kiss from her.
"Don't think about it anymore, Blair. I love you so much. Don't blame yourself anymore, you've been blaming yourself for so long now, even if it's not your fault." Marahan niyang saad at ngayon naman ay tumaas ang halik niya sa ibaba na ng aking tainga.
"It's not your fault. It's mine. I'm the who drove the car. I'm the one who sped up. I'm the one who totally broke us. And I've already accepted that. I've already moved on from that, Blair." Sambit niya at halos manlamig ako when she rested the tip of her her nose against my neck.
I immediately shook my head. Hinawakan ko siya sa balikat at inilayo na sa akin. Halatang nagulat siya pero agad ding kumalma. But her eyes just widened again when she saw my tears.
