Chapter 2: The truth halfway
"Mr Lorenzo, wait!"
Patuloy lang ako sa paghabol sa lalaking nang iinis sa akin. Yes, I remember the last name of the twins that the nurse says kanina. Glad I didn't lose my memory despite what happened.
Sinubukan kong sabayan siya pero hindi ko magawa. Hindi naman ako mabagal maglakad, sadyang mabilis lang talaga siya!
"Oh please, Mr Lorenzo don't leave me like this!"
Hindi parin ito kumibo at nagpatuloy lang sa paglalakad. Sa sobrang bilis nitong maglakad ay napalaki ang agwat namin kaya napatakbo ako. This time, I reached his arm.
Tumigil ito at humarap sa akin.
"What's your problem now miss Morales?"
The way he mentioned my last name made me lose my words. Kung kanina ay ako ang iniinis niya ngayon ay ako naman ang nang iinis. Everything just change that easily.
"T-tell me what happened please" Napakunot ang noo niya. "Please Mr Lorenzo"
I have no any other way but to beg. I don't want to live like a fool, and I know he has the key of everything.
Something's wrong, I know.
"Can you please stop calling me that Mr thing? I have my name miss"
"You're the first one who called me my last name, I'm just doing the favo-"
"That's because I don't like your name. Happy now?"
Napabuntong hininga ako. I was pissed at him but I have to control this anger thing. I want answers, that's what's matter for now.
"Fine! What's your name then?"
He smirked.
"Wayne"
I almost laugh.
He says he doesn't like my name, I don't like his too.
"Can you tell me what happened Wayne?"
I almost laugh when I mentioned his name. Wayne Lorenzo? I don't find his name attractive, it fits his ugly personality
"I'm sorry miss but I have no any idea of what's you're saying"
Oh there he goes again. Talking to him really needs long patience, and I guess I really have to save one for next.
"I will do anything you want me to do, just tell m-"
"Anything?"
I sigh. Shit!
"Anything."

"It's not that he's lying"
I keep convincing myself while hugging the pillow in the clinic bed. It's midnight now but I still can't fall asleep. I just can't forget what he said lately. The scene of the conversation we had was still vivid in my mind.
"You drowned in the ocean that's why I saved you, that's it."
Sinipa sipa nito ang mga batong nadadaanan. He was walking with no exact direction yet I still followed him.
"Y-you're lying"
Sa paglalakad ay napatigil ito. He faced me, brows wrinkled. Even on how he form his emotion made me realize he's really that person who's hard to deal with.
"It's up on you if you believe or not. Still, I've done my part"
Tinalikuran niya ako at naglakad na palayo. Hindi paman siya nakakalayo ay sumigaw ako
