CHAPTER 16
“Uhm, Maya? Maya right?” Richard said when Maya did not say a word after he spoke. “Are you okay?”. He looked at his father as if waiting for him to say if the woman is ill or something. He even got more worried when he saw tears forming in her eyes.
Roberto moved to go beside her when Maya finally moved. She bowed her head and lifted her hands to her face as if wiping her tears. The people in the room fell silent and just watched her. Maya finally looked up with a smile on her face.
“Sorry po. Mababaw lang po kasi yung luha ko. Na .. na-overwhelm lang po ako kasi finally po nagising na po si Sir Richard.” Maya lied. She knew she was crying because the man that she loves so much cannot remember her anymore.
“Maya, I told you, Richard will do. You even call me Tito. There’s no need to put ‘Sir’, diba Ricky?”
“Hi-hindi na po, Sir Robert.” She said when Richard was about to respond. “Sige na po, uuna na po ako. Baka po kasi ako lagnatin eh.” She quickly stood up and grabbed the towel with her shaking hands. She was about to walk towards Esmeralda when a hand grabbed her arm, stopping her. She looked back to see who it is. Her eyes welled up when she saw that it was her former angel who’s stopping her.
Maya saw a light of hope. Natandaan na niya kaya? Na-delay lang ba yung memories niya?
“Uhm, if we did know each other,” he started, blocking that light Maya saw. “I’m sorry kung hindi ko matandaan. I .. I -”
“Hindi niyo naman po kailangang mag-sorry Sir.” Maya said as she tried her best to keep that smile on her face. “Hindi pa naman po tayo nagkakakilala. Naikwento lang po kayo ng papa niyo sa’kin.” She tried to say quickly. Each word tears a piece of her heart.
“Sigurado kang hindi pa tayo nagkikita? You look familiar to me.” Too familiar.
Maya nodded. “Sige po.” Then she gave the towel to Esmeralda. “Tita, Tito, uuna na po ako. Magkita na lang po tayo sa office bukas.”
“Sige Maya.” The elder Lim said.
“Ingat ka, hija.” Esmeralda said.
Richard got tongue tied and did not say his goodbye. There’s something in her that caught his attention.
She’s too familiar. Where have I seen her?
..
Maya woke up with a headache the next morning; her eyes feel heavy and she could feel that her stomach is screaming for food. She sat up from her bed and saw that she’s still in her yesterday’s working clothes. Memories of what happened yesterday flooded her mind, welling up her eyes again.
She remembered that after she bid her farewell to them, she quickly head outside and waited for a taxi. Even though it was raining, she refused to get her umbrella inside her bag and decided to be drenched in the pouring rain. It was because she knew that the rain would hide her tears. When she reached home, she headed to her bedroom and cried more. She hadn’t realized that she fell asleep.
Why is everything so unfair? It’s like a knife has been struck in my heart. It is all too painful. I’ve lost him as my angel and I even lost him even if he got back. Ano na Maya?
She decided to stop her tears and to get up from her bed. Parang may magagawa pa ko. She headed for the bathroom and dressed for work. It’s the start of her routine again.
