My Seven Minutes of Heaven (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 12

SHANE POV

It has been few days after that confrontation. That night, is so hard for me cause I have to be silent while I'm crying in my bed room and I cry myself to sleep.

Kinaumagahan, I can feel us being uncomfortable with each other. I'm trying to avoid him or having a conversation with him. In fact, I don't wanna see him or even smell his scent. I want to erase him

Gusto kong umalis dito para makalimot but I can't since it's lockdown. I called my family and friends instead. They saw how swollen my eyes is. I said to them that I cry kase I missed them so much. As much as I want to tell them the truth, I think it's no good and Me, myself don't wanna talk about it either.

There are times that he try to create a conversation with me, but I just respond to him with a close ended response to not engage more talk. I want to move on from him

And being stuck with him in the same roof makes it so hard for me. Imagine, waking up with him in the same room. Eating with him in the same table. Watching or reading with him in the same living area. Smelling his scent after he used the bathroom. And seeing him, everyday. Being him, effortlessly handsome. It's a torture for me, a beautiful torture.

There's time na nag kakatitigan kame and getting caught staring at each other. Ano ba, Henry?

I went to the living area to get distracted and I saw that there's a a ukulele there near the table. I get it and tinanggal yung cover.

I can't remember the last time I played ukulele. I still remember some chords and songs I played using it. And played the song my mom used to sing to me when I was a Kid.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

A feeling of nostalgia starts to kick in

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I feel my mom's warm embrace, I miss her so much

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world

"Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world" a familiar voice

Henry, is standing near at me singing with me.

He smiled "You didn't tell me you sing and play instruments din pala"

I gave a small smile

"My Mom used to sing it to me when she's still alive" He said and His eyes started to look sad

"I'm sorry" I said

"It's okay, Namiss ko tuloy siya. Namatay siya dahil sa Cancer when I was just a little boy. She used to sing me that song, to remind me even if she's gone. The world will be beautiful, that there's tings to look forward to in life. When he passed away, It was my first heartbreak" He said

"Remember the last time, when you noticed I wasn't okay? That was her death anniversary. Usually, I go to her grave to give flowers but because of lockdown I wasn't able to" He added

"It's so hard without her, but growing up. I'm very thankful naman, because I have Tita Martha who's my step mom. He cared and loved me us as if we are his own children"

"It must be so though for you, Henry. I appreciate that you trust me this. I'm sure your Mom is so proud of the Man that you become right now" I said

He smiled "I bet"

HENRY POV

I know that song, when I heard him play and sing in the living room. He is surely full of surprises. I didn't know that he can sing and play.

A feeling of a longing starts to kick in and I remembered my Mom. He used to sing me that song when I was a kid, to comfort me whenever I cry because I know that her days are counted. She prepared me for her death by reminding me that there's a of beautiful things waiting for me and life must go on after she passes.

What Shane really touched me, he surely know how to comfort someone. I can feel his sincerity with his words.

After he said that, he stand up and decided to go away, again.

I know he's been a avoiding me because of what happened. And I blame myself for that. Bakit ba kase dineny kopa? I should have told him the truth.

I tried to approach and engage conversation with him but he always ended it with a close ended response.

Baby, I'm trying to fix.

I can't let this moment be in waste. I need to do something or else babalik nanaman kame sa walang pansinan. Henry, you better do something.

I grabbed his hands, "Shane, Wait"

Natigilan siya and tumingin sakin at bumaba ang tingin sa kamay ko na nakahawak sa kanya.

"Henry, bitawan moko" sabi niya calmly

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for what happened last tim-"

"Diba sabi ko just forget it!? I don't want to talk about it, Henry. In fact, I don't want to talk to you!" He said habang nag pupumiglas

But I didn't let him go. No baby, I won't let that happened. Talk to me

He's trying hit me with his other hands which I'm blocking using my other free hand. He throw a small kick when he notice na I got both of his hands.

"Ano ba, Henry!? I said let me go!" He shouted

"No!" I shouted louder. Na kinagulat niya at kinatigil niya. He got pissed off and try even harder na pumiglas sa kamay ko and kick me

But instead I pull him closer and hugged him tight. His hands are now both placed in my chest na naka yukom while I'm hugging him, I placed my hand on the back of his head and the other to his waist

"Doon ka! Ayoko sayo!" Habang hinahampas niya ang dibdib ko but It made hug him tighter

I heard him crying and murmuring things.
Habang naka takip ang mukha sa dibdib ko. "Kinalimutan moko, after mokong gamitin. You make me feel bad about myself" I'm sorry making you feel that way. I didn't forget you, Baby.

He looked at me with a teary eyes. I saw that his eyes are so wet from the tears that's already out

"Am I just another bitch to you? Na after mo gamitin, iiwan at kakalimutan mo nalang?"
He asked. No, you're not. And you will never be.

After hearing that, I realized that he's so pure and innocent. I know that what happened 5 years ago was his 1st time and he only wanna do it with someone he love.

And he did it with me. I didn't know that I and what happened to us mean so much to him.

Natigalan ako sa sinabi niya and he pushed me with all strength.

"Don't come near me, nor touch me again" He said

Napayuko ako after hearing it and I hear a loud slam of door
