"Love, Sara.. ang sakit na. di ko na yata kaya."

****

When Sara heard what Bong said, the expression in her eyes quickly changed from being calm to annoyed.

Hanggang ngayon kasi hindi niya lubos maisip kung paano nagagawa sa kanya ni Bong iyon.

How could he act so down everytime she's trying to move on with her life? Bakit parang ayaw ni Bong na sumaya siya?

Since they've been apart, Sara was slowly getting back to her normal routine. Unti unti na rin niyang natatanggap na hindi talaga sila ni Bong ang para sa isat isa.

Pero bakit ganun? Why is he trying to pull her back down inside the pit of his miserable love?

When Sara thought of that, agad niyang binulungan si Bong.

"Save your drama for another day Mr. President! Ubos na ubos na ako.. wala na akong kayang ibigay pa sayo." She said in a calm yet cold and emotionless tone before she pulled her face away from the beso and pretended to smile in front of the crowd.

Bong's world came crumbling down when she said those words.

Bukod sa masamang masama na ang pakiramdam niya, his heart was shattered when he realized na ayaw na talaga ng pinakamamahal niya sa kanya.

Sumuko na ang love Sara niya.

So with tears forming in his eyes, he slowly walked towards the paltftom to deliver a brief speech before he walked out of the terminal.

Yes, walked out. dere deretso. Wala ng lingon lingon pa as he bowed his head and placed both his hands inside his pocket.

He looked so helpless and defeated.

Marami pang bumabati sa kanya habang naglalakad but he didn't mind them. Parang wala na siyang marinig sa paligid at patuloy lang na naglakad ng nakayuko at tulala.

That moment, his mind was too occupied na halos maghalo halo na ang laman nito.

Bong was definitely so burned out and distracted.

Mejo nakahinga lang siya ng maluwag when he saw the car.

He honestly just wanted to get out of there.

He wanted to be alone.

Kaya pagkasakay na pagkasakay niya sa sasakyan ay agad nalang siyang napasandal sa upuan as he rested his head upwards.

Upwards to stop his tears from falling.

Pinilit niya talagang wag pumikit habang nakaangat ang ulo niya.

Pero wala eh. As soon as he recalled how Sara said those words to him just when he needed her the most, he lost it.

Bigla na siyang napapikit at napahawak sa dibdib niya as his
tears began to flow uncontrollably.

He clenched his fist against his chest as he slightly curled his body sideways na parang nagpipigil na isigaw ang nararamdan niyang sakit.

He did his absolute best to not make a sound kahit parang sasabog na ang puso niya sa sakit.

The president was silently breaking down inside that car that he started crying and sobbing silently.

Yes, silently... yung tipong habang nakatagilid siya with his fist clenched against his chest, his shoulders started shaking too.

It was dark inside that car but the city lights illuminated his silhouette at the back seat.

With no words said, his PSGs immediately understood what was going on.

They knew the president's situation at alam din nila na iniwan na ito ni Sara.

Afterall, they were one of the first ones, who knew about the secret relationship.

Halos maiyak iyak na din ang dalawang PSG sa harap habang sinusulyapan ang pinakamamahal nilang presidente sa rear view mirror ng sasakyan.

Pero minabuti na nilang wag na itong tanungin.

It was so obvious to them that Bong wanted to deal with it alone kaya wala na din silang nagawa kundi ang manahimik nalang.

Sa puntong ito, pagod na pagod na si Bong.

He couldn't handle the conflict, the problems, the stress and the loss of the love of his life anymore.

He was so broken and empty.

At the back of his mind, naiintindihan naman niya kung bakit ayaw na ni Sara sa kanya.

He hurt her.

Nasaktan niya ito ng paulit ulit at sobra sobra kahit hindi naman niya sinasadya.

Dahil dun, wala na siyang babalikan..

Wala na... kahit ipilit pa..

****
The next morning...

News flash:

"Isang araw matapos ang state visit ng pangulong Bongbong Marcos sa Belgium ay nagpatawag ng press briefing ang tagapagsalita nito upang sabihing hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ng pangulo at kailangan nitong magpahinga ng dalawang linggo para sumailalim sa mga pagsusuri. Naglabas na din ng order ang palasyo na si bise presidente Sara Duterte Caprio na muna ang hahalili sa pangulo habang nagpapagaling pa ito. Ang bise na din muna ang dadalo sa lahat ng mga opisyal na pagtitipon na dapat ay dadaluhan ng pangulo. Nangako naman ang palasyo na magbibigay ng opisyal na paguulat patungkol sa kalagayan ng pangulo sa mga susunod na araw."

After the news reports came out, nagsilabasan na naman ang mga bashers ng presidente.

"Karma na yan! gala kasi ng gala! party pa" - twitter user 1

"buti naman! sana wag na gumaling charot!" - twitter user 2

"Sus magbabakasyon lang yan! taas na ng bilihin! wala talagang kwentang pangulo peke! salot" - twitter user 3

As soon as she read the last comment, Sara lost her temper at di na niya mapigilang maibato ang cellphone niya sa dingding ng opisina niya.

Nagulat nalang kasi si Sara ng tawagan siya ng Malacañang tungkol sa nilabas na order na siya muna ang OIC habang wala si Bong but she had no idea kung nasaan ito, o kung anong nangyari.

The notification was so formal that she didn't even get the chance to ask questions kaya napabukas siya ng social media para makibalita which didn't help at all.

She was so frustrated that she started to yell.

"Ano na naman ba to Marcossss!!! Asan ka ba???? May sakit ka ba talaga???" she yelled as she placed both her palm in front of her face and bowed her head on her table.

Asan nga ba si Bong? What happened to him?
