Tinukungan ako ni leona na tumayo. She lookes panic right now. Hindi ko alam kung pag aalala ba iyun o kinakabahan ng sobra.
"How are you?" I asked. Nanghihina parin ang katawan ko. Tumingin siya sa akin na may pag alinlangan bago ngumiti at tumango.
"A-ayus lang ako." Tumango naman ako sa sagot niya.
"Can two talk?" She stopped when I asked her again. "May malapit na coffee shop dito."
"Pe—"
"Just a little minute. I want to say something before I leave." I said almost pleading.
"You are leaving?—Okay, let's talk."
Inakbayan niya ako dahil napansin niyang nahihirapan akong maglakad. It was awkward. Hindi ko iyun pinansin.
People are looking at our way because I am still in my hospital gown.
Parang hindi mapakali si Leona habang nakaupo sa harap ko. Bumuntong hininga naman ako na ikatingin niya diritso sa mata ko.
Pansin ko rin na parang naawa siya at may takot sa mga mata niya.
"Diritso na ako, Leona. I'll go overseas tomorrow and I won't able to come back for some reason. Please take care of them." Diritsang sabi ko. Kita ko ang pagtigil niya pati ata pag hinga niya.
"A-anong nangyare sayo? Bakit ka aalis?" Napatigil ako sa tanong niyang iyun. Umiling lang ako.
"Don't mind me. Can...you do that for me?" Sabi ko. She was observing me. Looking in my eyes. Maraming tanong sa mga mata niya. She's confuse. "Gusto ko lang sana kung ayus lang sayo. Ikaw muna ang bahala sa kanilang lahat. Mula kay Zeya patungo kay Deon..... Ingatan mo sila ha? As much as possible, I will help you to protect them...... Nagmamakaawa akong protektakan mo sila, Leona. Ikaw.....ikaw lang yung taong huli kong makakausap bago ako makalis dito. I... I apologize we have many misunderstanding in the past but I hope you'll forget them."
"I don't understand. Bakit ikaw pa yung nanghihingi ng tawad? I was at fault. All of us. We...we killed your son."
Natagilan ako sa sinabi niya. Tinitigan ko lang siya. Hindi nagsalita. Walang reaksyon. My mind is blank. Wala akong naisip. She started crying while looking at her.
"I'm sorry—"
"That's enough," I said. " I don't have time to think about what happened to me. I don't want to think about it. "
"What about Laurence?" She suddenly asked. "You are leaving him, aren't you-"
"Didn't you love him?" Natigilan siya sa tanong ko. "I know you love Laurence with all your heart, Leona."
