Trapped In His Melanchony

Teamwork

"Shhh, shush Elvi. Calm down" Paula cooing Elvi in his outraged cry. It was almost an hour since the kid started to cry nang pinakita ni Walmer ang mga pictures nila na kasama ang mama nito. It was a fine bonding though, Walmer asking Elvi to point whoever he mentioned a name not until he said to point his mama, then Elvi broke down as if he suddenly missed her. 

And there, Elvi kept on chating his mom's name. As if asking her to appear each time he called her.

Addi and Warren arrived hearing those loud cries outside the Brahm's house residence, kaya mabilis pa sa alas kwatro ng makatakbo ito papasok ng bahay. She ran to Elvi with her arms widely opened to hug her hysterical child. 

"Hey, you're okay. What's the matter baby?" she asked him rubbing his back. 

"Sorry, Addi. Kasalanan ko yata eh haays" Walmer sighed. 

"He surely misses you, Addi. Lage na lang bumabanggit yan ng Mama."

As Elvi settled in her arms, she couldn't be more guilty. She's mad at herself of making his baby felt this, missing her. Now, aside from she's worn out at work, mabigat pa ang dibdib niya sa lahat ng sinabi ni Levi sa kanya kanina. 

"I am here now, baby. Sorry."

Stroking Elvi's pinkish cheek, she as well wiped the tears falling from her cheeks.

"Umuwi na tayo?"

I looked down, frozen. Nasa likod ko pa rin ang sasakyan niya but it feels like my soul was left in the passenger's seat watching myself in so much loss and it hurts so bad. The way he pushed me to leave him, I felt all his anger, his disgust. Am I really leaving him?

While Warren is hugging and kissing me, my heart wants me to walk back and open his car door, to seat next to him and listen to my plea. Gusto ko pa siyang makita.

Hindi.

Gusto ko siyang makasama.

I want to be with him, for the rest of my life.

"Warren...I am sorry.." she burst in tears and Warren as wise as he is, he already knew what are those for. " I am very——"

We both gasped in fear kung paano nito ipaharurot ang sasakyan paalis. My tears fell watching his car fading away from us. Parang dinurog ang puso ko sa sobrang sakit na tila nag-uutos da aking sundan ko kaagad siya, bago pa mahuli ang lahat.

"C-can we, follow him, please?" inaasahan kong magugulat siya sa i-uutos ko sa kanya at alam kong wala akong karapatang utusan siyang gawin yun dahil ang dapat ay sa kanya ako sasama, pero.....I really have a bad feeling...that something will gonna happen.

"Okay..get inside the car" habang nagmamaneho si Warren ay panay ang tingin at lingon ko sa paligid. He was heading away from us, he was not driving back home.

Sana ay kinausap ko na lang siya at binaba na lang ang pride ko. Kahit na, napakasakit ng nga sinabi niya sakin, sana narinig man lang niya na mahal ko pa siya.

I must have confessed to him, everything. Our baby. His baby.

"That's...that's his car. Pull over, Warren. Please." habang ipaparada pa lamang ni Warren ang sasakyan ay nakatanaw na ako sa bintana ng sasakyan namin. Halos mapugto ang hininga ko na makitang nakatayo si Levi sa isang waiting shed pero nakaharap ito sa dagat. "No, no." I immediately opened the door and run as fast as I can. I walked fast but seems like, everything was in a slow motion. God, please. Let me talk to him. "Leviiiiiiiiiiiii!" I screamed as I reached half a meter from him when his hand dropped his phone and his body was falling sideways to the cliff, and his was looking at me. Those sad eyes, were looking straight at me, saying his last goodbye. "NOOOOOO! NO NO NO!"
