CHAPTER 21: HALF CRESCENT MOON

“Since you were a kid, you really know how to give me a headache. Heathryl.” Zeddicus dropped the cigarette and stepped on it.
“I got that from you.” 
Tumawa naman ito nang malakas. “No doubt you are really my grandson. Amongst the trait you will get from me is being hard-headed.”
Sandaling katahimikan. Sa kalagitnaan ng gabi ang tanging simoy lang ng hangin ang maririnig sa labas ng balkonahe. The moon is full. It lights the way of dark pavements. Zeddicus stare at it.
“Do you regret what you have done?”
“Not in a million times.” Heath replied.
“Will you do everything just for her?”
“Everything... even if it cost my life.”
Umismid naman ito. “Good.”
Maingat niyang binuksan ang pintuan upang hindi magising ang dalaga. Dahan-dahan siyang lumakad papalapit sakanya na ngayo'y mahimbing na natutulog.  Kahit madilim ang silid ay malinaw nya pa ring nakikita ang mukha nito.
He sat at the edge of the bed. 
“I'll be back.” Heath slowly touched her face. “I promise.”
Nais niyang sariwain ang magandang mukha nito. Dahil baka matagalan siya sa lugar na pupuntahan nya.  
Sisiguraduhin niyang pagbalik niya ay pakakasalan nya na ito. He had to finish it first before he could go back with her. 
“I'll miss you.” He leaned to kiss her forehead.
Tumayo na siya at nakahandang umalis. Baka pagnatagal pa ito ay mahirapan na siyang iwanan ang dalaga.
“Heath.”
He stopped at his track. 
“Saan ka pupunta? Hindi ka pa ba matutulog?”
Huminga muna siya ng malalim. He turned around and moved closely to her. Mapupungay ang mga mata ng dalaga habang bakas ang mga katanungan dito. She waited his response. Heath plans to leaved without waking her up but he failed.
“Going for a walk.”
“At this night? Bakit hindi nalang bukas?”
“It can't wait. I need to think.”
Carquirelle suspiciously looked at him. 
“Are you sure?”
“Y-Yeah.” 
“Really?” pinanliitan siya nito ng mga mata. 
“Sweety—”
“I'll come with you then.”
He pinched the bridge of his nose. “No. You stay here. You need enough rest for tomorrow. Malapit na ang kasal natin. You should prepare for it.”
“Pero gusto kong sumama sa'yo!”
Huminga s'yang malalim. “Go back to sleep. Babalik din ako.”
Carquirelle was about to open her mouth when they heard a knock. 
“Kamahalan.” Marcelus called. 
Lumingon naman dito si Heath. Isang tango ang binigay niya rito bilang senyas upang ihanda ang sarili sa pag-alis. 
“Sweetheart look at me...” he raise her chin to met her eyes. 
Nagsimulang mamuo ang luha sa gilid ng mga mata ng dalaga. Bakas dito ang pag-aalala sa nangyayari.
