KABANATA 40

LIVE

We are now in Manila and bukas ay uuwi na kami sa Beverly Hills but si Noel sa New York, medjo napa aga lang ng ilang days dahil kailangan sa trabaho ni Noel but this is the day that I will break my silence. And Liam will help me. Hindi ako makatulog kagabi dahil dito. Nag hahalo ang nararamdaman ko. May excitment, takot, at saya akong nararamdaman.

"Where are you going?" Noel asked dahil nag mamadali na ako bumaba sa hagdan.

"Uh, may importante lang ako pupuntahan. Can I use your car?"

He nodded. "Okay. Are you okay? Parang hindi ka mapakali. What's wrong?"

I smiled. "Nothing. Alis na 'ko."

Agad na ako dumiretso sa garage and dumiretso na sa labas at papunta na ako ngayon sa bahay.. sa bahay ni Liam.

I called him na malapit na ako, at traffic pa talaga.

Nakita ko na nasa labas na siya ng gate niya and suminyas siya ipasok ko ang sasakyan niya sa loob.

Pag kalabas ko sa sasakyan he hugged me.

"Are you ready?" Aniya.

"Yes. But ikaw? Are you ready?"

He nodded. "Alam ba ni Noel?"

Dahan dahan akong umiling at agad niya akong yinakap. "It's okay." Aniya.

Pumunta na kami sa sala and pwenesto ko na ang cellphone ko at hinawakan hawakan ko lang ang singsing ko.

"It's okay." Aniya.

"Are you ready?"

He nodded. "For you, yes. Kaya ko lahat para sa'yo. Andito lang ako para agapan ka sa lahat."

Tumango ako and pinindot ko na ang phone ko to start my live.

Ilang segundo palang ay ten thousand na ang viewers. Ah! I don't care sa mga viewers. I need to do this. 'Yun na ang nararamdaman ko, kinakabahan na ako na ewan dahil sa sobrang bilis ng pag dami ng viewers.

"Hi, everyone. I am here to uh-"

Napahinto ako sa pag sasalita dahil nakita ko ang comment ni Noel.

Noel:

What's this? Where are you?

Huminga lang ako ng malalim.

"Hi again. You probably saw my recent post on my social media accounts, and some of you might have noticed the ring, the engagement ring. Noel didn't give this ring. It was given by someone close to me, someone close to my heart. He is my first love, but not my boyfriend. We've known each other for so long and we've been through all the ups and downs. The truth is, the reason why I don't have a boyfriend is because of this person. We've been through a lot together, and I'm afraid to love again."

Napatigil ako and I looked at Liam at tumango siya. I also saw na nanood na ang mga kaibigan ko, same to Thailee and Luciano and half million na ang views.

"We decided on this thoroughly so you won't always have to involve Noel in my issues. He's a good person and a good friend. He helped me become who I am today. If he wasn't there when I was starting out, I don't know what would have happened to me now. So, Noel, thank you."

Huminga ako ng malalim. "Now, I want to introduce you to Liam. I don't want to say his full name for privacy reasons. He is my first love, but we're not together now."

Lumapit si Liam saakin and nakikita na siya sa live ngayon and sobrang daming wow react sa live ko.

I can't believe I am here.

"Hi, everyone. I am Liam. My only request is for you to stop involving Rhea in dating rumors because she's uncomfortable with it, and she's not dating anyone because I won't allow it, just kidding. But anyways, I hope you won't attack Rhea because of this. She is my life and I can't afford to loss her anymore. I won't let go of this woman, not again, not anymore." Aniya at hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"Hope you all respect what we are saying right now. And I hope you give Liam privacy because he is a private person. Thank you, everyone."

I pressed the end live at agad ko siyang yinakap at umiyak nalang. "Thank you."

"Always."

"I need to go. Mag eexplain pa ako kay Noel. Sasabihin ko sakanya ang mga bagay na hindi ko pwede sabihin kanina sa live." I said at agad na tumayo.

"Are you sure? Samahan na kita."

"No, it's okay. I can do this. Ako na ang bahala kay Noel."

"You sure? Just call me kung kailan mo 'ko."

I nodded. "Thank you again. And, babalik na ako sa Beverly Hills. Thanks for everything, Liam. See you when I see you." I said.

Tumango siya. "I will find you."

Habang palapit ako sa bahay ni Noel hindi mapigilan ang pag tulo ng mga luha ko.

Pag pasok ko sa bahay, I saw him, sa sala, nakatinggin saakin.

"I'm sorry." I said.

He smiled at yinakap ako. "I understand, and I know. I know hindi ka pa nakaka move on sakanya. I know, mag kakaroon parin kayo ng another chance. It's all good. You are so brave."

Bumitaw siya sa pag kakayakap saakin and inayos niya ang buhok ko at pinunasan ang luha ko.

"Oh, stop crying. Don't feel bad about me. It's okay. If Raul is here, I'm sure he will support you."

"I'm sorry." I said and I cried so hard.

"Rhea, it's okay. Aalis na tayo bukas, ha? Sinabi mo kay Liam?"

I nodded. "Yes. He-he said he will find me." Nag cr-crack pa ang boses ko.

"That's good. Dapat i-pursue ka na niya ngayon. Dapat panindigan ka na niya ngayon, dahil kung hindi, kukunin kita sakanya."

I chuckled at pinunasan ang luha ko. "He is not my boyfriend, Noel."

"Hindi pa. I know, Rhea. You still love him. Sooner or later, I know, magiging kayo."

I nodded and I cried again.

"Don't cry! What's with you?" Aniya at yinakap ulit ako. "I will support whatever you want in your life, even if it hurts me, it's okay, as long as you're happy with what you're doing. I'm always here behind you so you'll know that if ever madapa ka ulit, may sasalo sa'yo."
