"Ano?" naitanong ko sa kaniya, nabigla ako sa kaniyang sinabi. Magtanan? Ni minsan ay hindi iyon sumagi sa isip ko. Marahas siyang napabuntong hininga at sinabunutan ang sarili. He looks so frustrated like he's having a big-big problem. Mukhang dinaig niya pa ako.

"Would you go with me? I'll book a flight to Italy, bukas na bukas din. Now tell me, are you with me, babe?"

Ilang beses akong napakurap at pinipilit na ipasok sa kokote ko ang mga sinabi niya. What th he1l is he saying? Bakit kailangan naming gawin iyon? Napatanga ako, hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko. He's encouraging me to go and run away with him in Italy. Why is that? To get rid of that fvcking arranged marriage?

"Look, I... I don't know... I'm not ready either." Nagsalubong ang makakapal niyang kilay sa narinig. Nagulat na lamang ako nang kumalabog ang center table sa pagitan namin dahil hinampas niya iyon. Tila nawawala siya sa sarili, what's with him?

"Babe." Iyon lamang ang tanging salitang lumabas sa bibig ko para pakalmahin siya. Naging marahas ang paghinga niya at kita ko rin kung ilang beses na umigting ang kaniyang panga, marahil ay dahil sa inis na nararamdaman dahil sa nangyayari. Maya-maya ay dumukwang siya sa akin, ang nga kamay niya ay nakatukod sa center table.

"Babe, you said you're against with that marriage right? This is the only thing I know to para hindi ka makasal sa lalaking yun. Fvck, I can't bear seeing you marrying other man. So please, just go with me." Napatitig ako sa nangungusap at nagmamakaawa niyang mga mata habang sinasabi niya ang mga salitang iyon. He's desperate and I hope I am. I badly want to stop this arrange marriage but I don't have enough courage.

I don't want to ruin my relationship with Davon, I love him, so much. But I'm also afraid that my parents will kick me out of the house like daddy told me. I am afraid that one day I will be like the beggars who have nothing to live in and nothing to eat. It's a mess, I don't know what I should do. I want to fight for my relationship with Davon but how? I never expected that one day my life would lead to this situation.

I slowly shook my head and looked down when I saw the disappointment in his eyes. Especially when I said,

"I-I can't."

Narinig ko ang pagbuntong-hininga niya kaya muli akong nag-angay ng tingin sa kaniya. Pabagsak niyang isinandal ang sarili sa sofa at pagod na ipinikit ang mga mata. Napakagat ako sa ibabang labi nang magmulat siya at malungkot na tumingin sa akin.

"Do you love me?" he asked. Natigilan ako sa biglaang pagtanong niya noon.

Mabilis akong tumango at sumagot, "Of course I do!". Hindi ko na alintana ang pagtaas ng aking boses. After I said thoses words, his face enlighten. At sa isang iglap ay narito na siya sa tabi ko. Kinulong niya ang aking mukha sa kaniyang mga palad.

"Come with me. We are flying to Italy the very next day. I know you're scared and not ready, neither am I. But I know we can do it, we will overcome it. If you're scared, I'm here. I have a lot of money in the bank, we can use that. Babe, please... We can get through this if we work together, right? Babe, you will cooperate with me, right? If you really love me, you will not agree to marry that man, you'll come with me. Baby... Please?"

Hindi ako makapagsalita dahil sa dami ng kaniyang sinabi. Punung-puno ng pakikiusap at pag-asa ang bawat salitang binibitiwan niya. Ganoon niya ba ako kamahal? He's willing to leave his family just for me? How I wish I am brave and independent like him. Ni isang salita ay walang lumabas sa bibig ko sa halip ay tumulo na lamang ang mga luha ko. God knows how I want to get through this situation. Bakit kung kailan nahanap ko na yung taong alam kong magbibigay sa akin ng atensyon at pagmamahal na matagal ko nang hinihingi sa mga magulang ko, bakit dumating pa ang sitwasyon na 'to?

He dried the tears that flowed down my cheeks and kissed my forehead. I slightly pushed him away from me. I caught his face and locked it in my palms then kissed him on the lips. A few moments later I smiled bitterly at him. I love him but that's not enough reason to do what he wants. I'm not as brave as him.

"I love you... God knows how much I love you, Dave."   He smiled at what I said. Pero mabilis din iyong napawi.

"But I can't... Yes, I love you and I don't want to lose you, you know that. But my parents are also important to me, Dave. I love them too. I'm... I'm so sorry." Kasunod ng mga salita ko ay ang muling pagbuhos ng mga luha ko. Pero akala ko ay iyon na ang pinakamasakit. Not until I saw a tears falling to his cheeks. He's crying and that hurts me more.

It hurts even more seeing my beloved man crying right in front of me. It seemed like hundreds of arrows hit my heart, it hurt so much. My vision is getting blurry because of the tears that I can't stop from falling but I still managed to dry the tears that flowed down his cheeks. My lips trembled and I couldn't stop sobbing. Even my hands that were on his cheeks were getting weak.

"I understand. I know your parents are more important to you than me. But I never thought it would be this painful. It hurts me even more to think that you are going to marry another man. I feel like I'm dying in pain. I didn't know that love hurts like this."

Bigla niya akong niyakap at doon humagulhol sa balikat ko. Pinipilit kong pakalmahin ang sarili habang hinihimas ko ang likuran niya. Para siyang isang batang paslit na umiiyak sa palikat ko. Tila ba masyado siyang inosente para masaktan ng ganito. Nanatili kami sa ganoong posisyon hanggang sa naramdaman kong bumigat siya, mukhang nakatulog na sa balikat ko. Pinunasan ko ang aking mga luha gamit ang isa kong kamay. Nang mga sandaling iyon ay hindi ko na napigilang mag-isip.

Does our relationship end here? After all the memories we made togother, will it just end up like this?
