Tayo Sana Sa Dulo!

Final: The Vision that we Created

"If I said Yes, can I trust you?" A words that I am trying to say but I cannot utter because of the judgement of our society.

I thought that those happening yong sagutan namin noong nakaraang araw ay yong na ang maging metsa para mawalan kami ng komonikasyon sa isat-isa pero I am wrong Aries even pestered me even more, begging for my chance and seeking for my attention.

"How are you?" Jason said then give me a bottled of buko-buko.

"I am fine, and thank you" ani ko at ngumiti sa kaniya.

Jason seems to be quite this days, nagkikita nga kami pero tahimik naman ito minsan.

"Can I just say something" he said, at ilang besis na niya ito sinasabi sa akin pagkatapos ay bigla na lang din ito sasabihin na nakalimutan niya. Kaya nga minsan na isip ko baka gusto niya ako at nahirapan siya umamin.

"I think-

" Michael!" Napalingon kami bigla ni Jason sa tumawag sa akin. It was Aries, he looks exhuasted and busted.

"What do-

" That's whay you are pushing me because of that man?" Aries said in a loud voice. Naging metsa iyon para pagtinginan kami ng mga tao sa paligid. This place a crouded dahil nasa park kami.

"What the hell are you doing?" Ani ko at hinawakan siya sa kamay at hinila sa hindi mataong lugar. Ng nakahanap na ako ay huminto kami at hinarap ko siya and then I saw a fucking smilling face.

"What-

" You are leaving me no choice" Aries said but before pa ako makapagreact ay naramdaman ko ang paglapat ng kaniyang mga labi sa aking mga labi. Aries captured my lips and as this moment I can't move and my eyes captured his face. I am shock and this moment I feel his lips moving and trying to devour mine. It is not wild only a smooth kiss, my body moves its own then my lips gives him the permision to enter my mouth, I feel his tongue enter mine and I put my hand into his neck. His kiss driving me crazy only this moment when I feel he bite my lips its awaken my embarrassment and I push him away.

"Huwag kang lalapit" ani ko at umatras ako ng bahagya mula sa kaniya.

"Sorry-

" Stop- " I am about to speak when I saw Jason and his no emotion face, he looks at me like I kill him.

"Jason" I utter then I saw him walking away, Aries looks angry and then lumapit siya sa akin.

"Ganon ba ang epekto sayo ni Jason na yon, at wala ba sayo ang halik ko" Aries said then he captured again my kiss. This time I push him away at hindi na ako nagpatianod sa kagustohan niya.

"At least give me some respect, How can I trust you and your promises if you can't respect me" Ani ko sabay talikod sa kaniya at balak ko habalin si Jason and explain what is happenning. I know this is sick pero ayaw ko mawalan pa ng kaibigan.

Naramdaman ko ang mga kamay niyang pinigalan ako. "If you follow him then I will stop chasing you" aries said on his low voice.

"Are you trying to make me a choice?" Ani ko sabay tanggal ng kamay niya sa braso ko.

"No, I am just giving you an option" Aries said.

"Then you are not the option" I said before stepping out of the line. It is now the end of our story, I like him I know that pero hindi lang basta gusto lang ang basihan para matanggap mo ang isang tao. A matured person knows how to think of chosing the right way, the right person na hindi ka papapiliin kong alam naman niyang siya lang uuwean.

I start walking and facing the way of not turning back. I stop in the middle of crowded people then face him back, then I saw him walking towards different direction.

I smile bearing a burden of pain and heartbreak, ito ba yonh sinasabi nilang nasaktan kahit di naman naging mag-move on. I turn back to my direction and a line created between us, a long line at pareho kaming nasa dulo pahaba ng pahaba hanggang hindi na namin makita ang isat-isa.

"It is over now, even we didn't started yet" I utter then I start walking. The wind breeze, the coldness and the rain starting to pour. I can finally feel it, the pain the longing and the sadness. I chose this direction and it means never turning back. I suddenly stopped in the middle of the rain never feelin what other might see, I just cry. I pull over myself and I stand never feel the wet because of the rain. I am about to run when someone hold my hand.

"It is not too late right?" A crack voice whispered on my ears as he pull over me and give me his tight hug. The rain stop and only feel his warm body soaking my mine.

"Can we start again" I said in a low tone then touch his hand on my wrist. Iginayak ako ni Aries para magkaharap kaming dalawa.

"I am pretty much willing to do it" Aries said then he touch my face. Nanginginig na rin ako sa lamig at naramdaman iyon ni Aries. He give me his jacket then suddenly I touch my lips and he look at my eyes. Aries suddenly cry, a tears from his eyes pour's down.

"Why? " I utter then whipped the tears on his checks.

"Can I just be your husband? " he said then he touch my hands.

I smile at him, because this time I don't want to regret at makipagsapalaran na ako kahit walang kasiguradohan tong gulong tinatahak ko.

"Se Agapo" ani ko at hinalikan siya sa kaniyang labi. Aries eyes widen then a smile from his face suddenly appear.

"You are mine, even though I didn't know what does it mean right? " Aries excluded at tumango lang ako sa kaniya bilang tugon.

It is that moment when Aries touch Micheal's face at tiningnan niya ito sa mga mata.

"Thank you"

Aries utter then he kiss Michael in the middle of the crowded. Hindi nila inantala ang mga taong nasa kanilang paligid. Hindi pinansin ang mga matang mapanghusga dahil mas nangibabaw ang hiyawan at supporta ng mga naroon.

"I will treasure this moment until our last breath" Aries added and Micheal hug him just to hide the embarrassment.

Just a distance away from those two, a two eyes full of sadness, pain and dis encouragement just witnessing them.

"No words can define this. It is not yet the ending, It is just the beginning of the story, goodbye as I leave him to you" Jason utter at mabigat ang katawang umalis sa park.
