Madison's POV.
"Madison, I'm living the country next week," Trevor said in a low tone of voice.
I gave him a frowning looking face. "W-what? Saan ka naman pupunta?"
He took a heavy breath while clasping his hands together. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know. But I wanted to go to somewhere nice and peaceful."
"Like Cuba," Trevor added.
"Cuba?" pag-uulit na tanong ko sa kanya habang magkasalubong ang mga kilay ko.
"Can you still remember when Giselle gave me photo cards on her trip to Cuba five years ago?" pagtatanong niya sa akin.
I gave him a nod. "Of course. That was her birthday present for you. How can I be able to forget that? Ako lang iyong hindi nakapagregalo sa'yo noon, dahil hindi ko naman alam na birthday mo."
"Sa totoo lang, matagal ko na ding gustong bumisita sa Cuba. I wanted to know if Giselle isn't lying about how romantic and beautiful the sunset at Malecón Beach." he said softly.
"That's good to know. Kailan naman iyong balik mo?" I asked him.
"Maybe after a year? or a year after next year," aniya.
"A year?! Are you serious right now? P-paano iyong trabaho mo dito sa Pilipinas?"
"I just resigned at the University yesterday," he answered nonchalantly.
I gave him a puzzled facial expression, bewildered of what I just discovered. How can he resign from work just like that? If he wanted to visit Cuba that badly, it doesn't have to be that long.
Napabuntong hininga ako tapos ay napahilamos sa mga palad ko bago ako muling nagsalita. "You resigned?"
Trevor smiled at me then shrugged his shoulders again. "What's so big about it? Who knows? I might also would like to settle there for good."
"Trevor, why do you have to do this? Is this about me rejecting you?" mahinahong pagtatanong ko sa kanya habang seryoso ang pagkakatitig ko sa kayang mga mata.
Trevor took a step towards me. "Madi, you got my heart broken," saad niya na halatang nagsisimula ng mamuo iyong mga luha sa ibaba ng kanyang mga mata. "I was shattered into pieces and the pain is killing me right now," Trevor continued. "I'm leaving the country because I wanted to heal, Madison. Little by little... I wanted to fix myself again. I can never heal in the same environment where I got sick. This is why I'm leaving."
Nang madinig ko ang mga salitang iyon mula sa bibig niya ay mabilis na pumatak ang mga luha mula sa mga mata ko. "I... I'm sorry for breaking your heart. I'm a cruel person," saad ko sabay napayuko dahil hindi ko na siya kayang titigan ng deretso sa kanyang mga mata, matapos ang mga nadinig ko.
He suddenly lifts my chin and I ended up looking straight into his dazzling eyes again. Trevor's gaze was steady and serious. "No, you're not. It's not your fault that you got my heart broken. It's actually my fault that I just let my heart to love you so much from what I can handle. But you know what? I'm still not going to regret of me loving every piece of you, Madison." Saglit siyang huminto tapos ay pinunasan ang mga luha mula sa mga mata ko.
"Loving you was the best thing I have ever done in my life. I never imagined myself that I will be able to love someone so purely, the way I did to you," Trevor said softly, then he cupped my hands on his. "So, Russel better take care of you and Randall or else..." he paused for a moment to look at me for awhile. "Or else he will be sorry for the rest of his life," he added, more seems he is giving him a heads up.
Mabilis ko siyang niyakap ng mahigpit sabay napahagulhol ng malala sa balikat niya. Naramdaman ko naman na ibinalik niya iyong yakap sa akin dahil ipinulupot niya sa bewang ko iyong malalaking braso niya sabay hinila ako palapit sa kanya.
