Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog pala ko, nagising ako ng maramdaman kong masusuka ako. Kahit nanghihina dahil sa pagiyak, ay dali dali akong tumakbo papuntang banyo.
Sumuka ako ng sumuka, at napaupo na lang sa sahig dahil sa panghihina. I didn't bother to stand up, kahit na nabasa na ang damit ko sa pagkakaupo sa sahig.
I feel so weak, I'm so exhausted and I feel useless. Ni hindi ko man lang naprotektahan si Mama, ni hindi ko namalayan ang bigat ng pinagdadaaanan niya. Wala kong kwenta... I deserve to die, ako na lang dapat ang namatay...
With that thought, I push myself to stand up. Pumunta ako sa kusina to get a knife. I want to end my life. Wala nakong rason para mabuhay, now that mama is gone. Tears fall down as I close my eyes.
I'm sorry Ma... Hindi ko kaya ng wala ka. I can't move forward, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I won't live without you.
Bulong ko sa hangin. I smile bitterly, as I point the kitchen knife towards my neck and when I was about to end everything, someone grab my hand. Napadilat ako dahil sa gulat. I didn't expect him to be here.
"Gid..eon..?"
Mahinang bulong ko, habang kinukuha niya ang kutsilyo sa kamay ko.
"What the hell are you doing!"
Galit niyang sigaw, matapos niyang itapon ang kutsilyo sa kung saan. Halata din sa mukha niya ang pagkaputla sa naabutan at nakita.
"Just leave me alone."
Walang buhay kong tugon. Hindi ko alam kung bakit siya nandito, at kung paano niya ko natunton but I don't care. I'm kinda dissapointed though, kasi hindi siya ang taong inaasahan ko. I turn my back at him planning to walk away but I freezed, when he suddenly hug me from behind. Nang makabawi sa pagkakagulat ay, sinubukan kong tanggalin ang pagkakayakap niya sakin.
"I don't know what your going through, but... Please don't end your life. You will overcome it, you are strong."
Nanghina ako ng marinig ko yun mula sa kanya, especially when mom's message echo in my head.
"You are strong Rye, mana ka kay Nanay... I know you will overcome everything.."
"You are strong Rye, mana ka kay Nanay... I know you will overcome everything.."
"You are strong Rye, mana ka kay Nanay... I know you will overcome everything.."
Muli akong napaiyak at kung hindi siguro ako yakap yakap ni Gideon, ay kanina pako bumagsak. I turn around to hide my face on his chest. He caress my hair and back, while whispering comfort words to me.
"Everything will be okay... I'm here."
I cried harder. I didn't expect that the guy I just met randomly, will be the one to save me. Bahagya akong kumalma at nanatili akong nakayakap sa kanya, dahil paniguradong babagsak ako sa labis na panghihina, kung bibitaw ako sa kanya. My knees feels so weak, I'm exhausted at kahapon pako walang kain.
I'm physically, emotionally, and mentally drained that's why I let myself hug him for a bit, and it lasted a minute, pero nanlaki ang mata ko nang may humila kay Gideon mula sakin, napaupo ako sa lakas ng pwersa and before I knew it, Gideon is already lying on the floor with blood on his lips. Buti na lang at hindi na siya pumatol pa.
"Verzine..."
Gulat kong sabi, when I saw who did it. I got scared when I saw how mad he is, but still I push myself to stand up, para pauntahan si Gideon to ask him if he's okay.
Verzine scoffed in disbelief.
"It's not... what you think Love."
I quickly said when I saw his reaction. Hirap akong tumayo. Tinangka ni Gideon na alalayan ako na agad kong tinanggihan, dahil ayaw kong madagdagan pa ang pagdududa sa mga mata ni Verzine.
"Love let me explain..."
I nervously said while trying to reach for his hand, but he pushed me away. I never knew, na may idudurog pa pala ang puso kong pira-piraso na. He looked at me full of anger in his eyes before giving me his painful remarks.
"I trusted you! And now what... Your hugging someone else behind my back!"
"This is just a misunderstan--"
"Bullsh*t! I'm not blind Rye! I saw you guys yesterday, you went home smiling because of him!
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko, nang mapagtanto ang tinutukoy niya.
"Please... Let me explain"
I pleaded.
"Let her explain dud--"
Sabat sana ni Gideon, but like what he did to me, he cut him off too.
""Shut the f*ck up! I'm not talking to you!"
Verzine said angrily. Napalunok ako. I never seen him like this before, this is the first time na makita ko siyang maging bayolente. He chuckled without humor.
"You know what Rye... Your classmates is right, Roxie is right! You are a certified slut just like your mother!
I automatically slap him hard. I was taken aback and so he is. I never thought...Not even in my dreams, that these words will come out from his mouth.
"Love...I didn't mean it, I am j-"
This time I cut him off.
"You can call me anything! A slut! A cheater! Whatever! But not.my.mother!"
He tried to reach me to calm me down, but I am shakingly mad at him. I pushed him away.
"Oh I am a f*cking slut! Yes I am! Kaya nga binigay ko sayo ang buong pagkatao ko diba!
Galit kong sigaw sa kanya. There's no use denying it, or explaning things. Tutal ayaw niya naman ako pakinggan. I don't need to prove him wrong!
"Let's end this. I've had enough!"
I coldly said, while brushing off my tears away.
"No... Please I was.. I was just.."
His voice broke. I saw horror in his eyes, when I step back and take off the ring that he gave me, in our first monthsary. I didn't hesitate to throw it away, in front of his face. Nagulat ako ng yumuko siya sa sahig to desperately look for the ring, and when he found it, agad siyang lumapit para lumuhod sakin.
"Please forgive me baby...I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean it, let's fix this please..."
He desperately begged, but my heart felt nothing while watching him pleading.
"The damage has been done Verzine. My forgiveness won't change anything."
Malamig kong tugon, before walking towards Gideon.
"Please take me away from here..."
I whispered to him.
