CHAPTER 36

The Saturday that was supposed to be the night Richard was looking forward to, became the night where everything did not went to what he planned. He was supposed to take her to someplace where he would sweep her off her feet, but clearly it’s not happening. He perfectly planned everything but he didn’t bother to add a plan B in case Maya would not go with him.

And hell, I should’ve planned that back up one.

Richard did not expect Maya would tell him to drive her someplace else. She even told him that it is for his memory. When Maya told him that, he wants to grab her by her shoulders and tell her that he already remembered everything, but he didn’t do so.

It would only ruin my plan.

Left with no choice, Richard drove silently as Maya tell him directions though he already knew where they are going – they are headed for the park. Maya was silent the whole ride. She was building up the sentences that she will tell Richard once they got there. When the car halted, Maya already opened her door and went outside without a word. Nervously, Richard went outside, too. He doesn’t know what’s going to happen.

What if Maya tells me she wants to stop all of this? What if she says that she doesn’t want me anymore? That she’s already giving up?

Richard followed Maya as she walked silently. Both of them were nervous, both of them don’t know what the other person’s planning, both of them taking this leap through the darkness.

Maya halted when she reached the tree. Richard clearly remembers what had happened there. That was the place where he always go to think, it was also the place where he finally admitted to himself that he is in love with Maya. And it was the place where he left her.

Shoot. Is she dumping me here?!

“Maya, I just want you to know –“, He immediately said when that thought crossed his mind.

“Ricky, ako muna.” Maya cut him off. She took a deep breath and Richard did the same. Maya was preparing to say the truth while Richard prepares himself from hearing the bad news he taught Maya was going to say.

“G-gusto kong bago matuloy tong kung anong meron tayo, gusto ko munang magsabi ng katotohanan.” Maya started making Richard hold his breath. Maya curled her hands not knowing what to do with them. “Gusto kong maalala mo muna lahat. Kaya Richard, gusto kong sabihin sa’yo na .. na nagkakilala na tayo dati.” Maya continued. “Kaya kita dinala dito, kasi isa to sa mga lugar na lagi mong pinupuntahan. Basta ‘pag wala ka, alam kong dito kita mahahanap.” She took a deep breath again. “Saka ito yung lugar na kung saan huli tayong nagkita. Kasi kailangan mo nang umalis.”

Richard still felt so nervous. What will she say next? Will she say that we must part ways as well? “So .. Maya, what exactly is the reason why we’re here?” he nervously asked.

“Gusto kong ipaalala sa’yo yung memory mo. Kasi, sa maniwala ka man o sa hindi, naging parte ako nyan.” She said.

Hearing that, Richard finally let go of the air he’s been holding in relief. “Y-yun lang?”

Maya slowly nodded. “M-may tanong ka ba?”

Right. I need to play along. “Why did I leave?”

“Kasi oras mo na.”
