Sienna Loren Monroe

They said love was supposed to be the most beautiful thing in the world, making me feel safe, until it turned into the thing I feared the most.


"Sie stop!"

"Sie!"

"Sienna Loren!" Danzel's voice enchoed through the empty hallway as I sprinted away from him.

"Sie! Wait up!" He grabbed both of my hands when he caught me. I tried to pull away from his grip, but he was way stronger than me.

"Ano ba?!" Singhal ko sa kanya habang patuloy na tumutulo ang luha sa aking mga mata.

"Sie, can you please calm down?" Danzel pleaded, his voice gently yet urgent

I tried to pull away from his embrace

"How can I calm down, Danzel? How? Tell me!" My voice cracked with emotion, tears threatening to spill over as I continued to struggle against his hold

Para akong bibigay sa mga nangyayari, parang isang iglap lang ang dami ng mga nangyari

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry na sa iba mo pa na laman" He's voice cracked

Tears streamed down his face; his vulnerability lay bare before me. My Danzel, the one I thought was unshakable, was breaking down right in front of me.

"Bakit?" nanghihinang tanong ko sa kanya

"B-bakit kailangan mong itago sakin?" My voice soinded subdued

"So all this time lahat lang yon pagpapangap lang?lahat yon?"

"Sumagot ka naman!" Humiwalay siya sa pag kayakap saka ako tinignan ng diretso

"I'm sorry, Sie," He murmured, his words hanging heavy in the tense air. I rubbed my face in frustration, unsure of what to say next.

"Is 'sorry' all you've got?" I spat out, frustration bubbling over.

Danzel stood there, avoiding my eyes, like the truth was hiding behind me. "I don't fucking need apologies, Danzel! I need your explanation" I jabbed my fingers into his chest, unable to hold back anymore.

Tears pricked at my eyes, a mix of anger and hurt swirling inside. This wasn't just about a mistake; it was about trust being broken and secrets spiling out

"Sie, as much as I want to tell you everything, I'm scared" he confessed, his voice trembling with raw emotion

"I'm afraid of losing you again"

"I fear that if I tell you, you'll be upset and might leave me. Perhaps this time, I won't be able to see you or even touch you," he said, tears streaming down his face like a torrential rainstorm in the dead of night.

"Ang selfish mo naman kung ganon"

"Paano naman akong naghihintay sayo?"

"Did you know that I've been looking for you since the day you left?" I whispered, my voice cracking with emotion as I finally voiced the ache that had haunted me all this time.

"Alam mo ba yon Danzel?"

"Answer me! Don't just stare!" I shouted, frustration boiling over as annoyance crept into my voice.

"Sienna!"

"Stop!"

Sigaw sa'kin ni Danzel ng bigla akong tumakbo palabas ng gate ng school namin

"Sie!" Kasabay nang sigaw ni Danzel ay kasabay rin ng pagtama sakin ng isang malakas na bagay

I don't know what happened; it felt like my entire body had become numb.

All I can recall is that someone embraced me—the warm hug that I needed the most.

"Sie" I recognized the voice immediately, knowing who was embracing me. If things didn't turn out well, at least I had the chance to be in this arms one last time.

"Cial, please hold on, please" he begged

"Please, Sie" pagmamakaawa niya

"Z-zely" was the last thing I said before everything went black.
