Empty Space

CHAPTER 44

It's her inauguration day at kinakabahan ako dahil magkikita kami ngayon.

The day before her inauguration I told my organizers to comfirm that I am coming.

My schedule was fully loaded for this whole week but I told my staff to cancel all my appointments for this day cuz I wanted to attend on Sara's inauguration.

I am not supposed to come but my heart betrayed me nung makita ko ang isang live video na senend sakin ni manang.

Nung makita ko ang lungkot sa mata niya nung tinanong siya kung pupunta ako at hinde niya alam ay kusa akong nanghina.

Parang lahat ng sama ng loob ko bigla nalang nawala just by seeing her face.

---

Nasa byahe na kami papunta sa venue, kasama ko si liza.

Actually nagulat din ako nung sinabi niyang sasama siya nung nalaman niyang nag confirm ako na pupunta.

She said that she have some important things to do this day may lakad dapat siya pero last minute pina cancel niya para sumama sakin.

Pagdating namin sa venue bigla akong pinagpawisan ng malamig,

Hinde ko alam kung bakit bigla akong kinabahan na makita si sara.

We never really talked even once for this past weeks and I'm afraid sa magiging reaction niya pagnagkita kami ulit.

Andami nang tumatakbo sa isip ko,

I thought of acting civil in front of her, I just hope that my body wouldn't betray me this time.

Napakadaming tao ang nasa venue pero hinde kopa siya nakikita.

Mauupo na dapat ako sa upuan ko nung biglang dumating si sara.

I was mesmerized for a moment after seeing her.

She looked dashing on her gown and she's really beautiful.

I said to myself earlier that I am not doing a first move.

I won't come to her unless she came to me first, that was my plan.

But my body, heart and soul betrayed me all at once when I unconsciously stood up on my chair and walked towards her with my open arms.

All my inhibitions left me after I met those eyes once again.

I saw how her eyes flicker in joy nung makita niya ako sa harap niya pero bigla niyang winaksi yun at tinanggap ang yakap ko.

I couldn't tell her anything, I just hugged her and she did the same, she didn't utter any word also.

I felt how she hugged me tightly at naramdaman kopa ang pag buntong hininga niya bago siya bumitaw sakin at ngumiti.

How I missed her so much I badly want to trap her in my arms and never let her go.

I just held her hand, gently squeezed it before I let it go.
-
She was having her oath on the stage I couldn't be more prouder for her not just a lover but as a partner also.

All our hardwork was worth it after all.

--

She was giving her first speech as a VP and she was talking about how bad broken family is for kids.

It's like she's sending a message to someone or it was just me,

All of a sudden I felt like I'm being attacked by her words striked by lightning.

She's not looking at me pero feeling ko ako ang sinasabihan niya nun kaya hinde ko maiwasang masaktan.

Binalewala ko nalang lahat ng yun dahil baka ako lang naman talaga ang nag iisip ng kung ano ano.

Baka epekto lang ito ng mga panahon na hinde kami nakapag usap.

The program keeps going until were being called for a picture taking.

While the picture taking was still on going I'm so eager to come close to her

I really wanted to talk to her but I know that this is not the right time and place to do so.
--
After the program all of us settled inside the city hall.

May mga nakaprepare na foods and catering.

When I got a chance I talked to sara sa gilid and asked her if I could talk to her,

"Can we talk love?" I whispered to her.

We acted like were just talking like normal.

"Yeah we had to talk but this is not the right place if you can meet me later lets meet I'll tell you where" she said smiling acting like she's just telling me something really funny.

She was smiling and laughing sa mga kasamahan namin kasama nadin ako dun.

Later on she excused her self para mag cr.

Me and the other senators together with martin and manang were all talking on the long table having a good time.

Liza is not on my side kanina kopa napapansin pero I didn't mind baka nakikipag chismisan lang sa gilid gilid.

Si sara naman ay hinde pa nakakabalik galing CR.

Pagbalik ni sara sa upuan nakita ko kung gaano kasama ang itsura niya hinde ito matimpla.

She looked really mad on something.

Nung magtama ang mata namin I saw a glimpse of sadness in her eyes which she easily brushed away and averted her eyes away from me.

She flashed a smile to everyone and told them that she's just going outside to do something.

Bago siya lumabas ay tumingin muna ulit siya sakin wala, nang emosyon ang mukha niya.

Nag alala ako sa kung ano ang nangyare sa kanya.

Gusto ko sana siyang sundan pero biglang sumulpot si liza sa harap ko at tumabi sakin habang nakangiti.

Napatingin nalang ako sa dinaanan ni sara at napabuntong hininga..
