28: Come

Marthae's Pov

There are certain decisions that we can make, because of also some certain events that can make us change our plans.

Lalo na 'pag naghalo-halo na ang mga emos'yong nararamdaman mo, sa puntong hindi mo na kaya. Kaya kailangan mo munang lumayo, at unahin mo muna ang sarili, para rin sa sariling kapakanan.

I am leaving because of the pain, also because if I stay here, the place where she is, I will surely not be able to move on.

"Are you really leaving us, anak?" My dad said. Sadness is what you can feel in his tone.

Nalulungkot ako kasi ngayon na nga lang kami tuluyang nagkaayos at nakompleto, t'saka pa ako aalis.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago tinignan ang aking ama at binigyan ito ng maliit na ngiti.

"Yes dad.. You can still visit me, all of you, if you have time. I-I just can't stay here any longer dad.." Tears are now forming in my eyes again.

Kaagad akong niyakap ni dad at naramdaman ko ang bahagyang pagtapik nito sa likod ko, tinatahan ako.

Hanggang ngayon ang sakit parin tanggapin. Ayokong tanggapin, pero nasampal na ako ng katotohanan.

It's been a week since the announcement of their wedding, and tonight is my flight to States.

I fixed everything already. My papers, visa and other important documents.

I am also enrolled now on a big university.

Ipagpapatuloy ko padin ang pagkuha ng korso ko kahit siya lang ang maaalala ko. Ito ang pangarap ko bago siya dumating.. At aabutin ko ito, not to only prove to everyone that I can do this, but to also make up for the damages I have cause to myself.

I was so stupid to the point that I have settled to be in that place, when even that I already know that she has a fiancé in the first place. But nevertheless, I didn't feel any regrets.

I was even thankful. She showed me how love can be so sweet, bitter, and painful at the same time.

She showed me and make me feel thing I haven't felt before. Then, maybe by that, I can have the courage to love again, just not now.

Hindi muna ako magmamahal ulit, hangga't hindi ko pa naaabot ang pangarap ko.

Hindi muna ako magmamahal ulit hangga't hindi pa ako tapos sa nakaraan ko.

I could never use another person to be my rebound because I know how that will cause a big impact to her/his feelings.

At kung wala talagang tao para sa'kin, edi agoi.

"I have to go now, I still have meetings but I'll call you later. Ihahatid ka namin sa airport." Sabi ni dad at tumayo na.

Tumigil nadin ang luha ko. Inayos ko muna ang itsura bago binalingan si dad.

"No dad, it's fine. You don't have to. Magpapaalam nalang ako kina mom mamaya."

But he just glared at me that made me shut. Katakot din eh kapag sinungitan ka ni dad.

The authority and dark aura he holds is undeniable. Of course he only show that side of him in the business world but even outside the office, he still look so intimidating and cold.

Binibiro ko lang talaga ang dad ko pero wala 'tong awa kapag sa kliyente niya.

"You're leaving already and you don't even want me to drop you off the airport? Eh kung hindi kita paalisin?"

"Chill, eto namang si Kear Herdie 'di mabiro." He just jokingly rolled his eyes at me before leaning closer and kissed my cheek.

"I'll go now, pupuntahan ko padin ang mom mo pagkatapos."
