I lay in bed with my boyfriend ,Lawrence. His steady breathing a comfort in the darkness. But then I heard it, the faint scratching sound coming from beneath the bed. I nudged Lawrence, sinubukang gisingin siya, but he remained lost in sleep.
"Lawrence, gising." I tried to wake him up again.
"Rain" I froze for a moment when I heard someone whispered my name. I ignore it, but it whispered again.
"Rain...help"
"How could you?" nag simulang manginig ang mga kamay ko pero pinilit ko ang sariling manatiling kalma.
"Rence, narinig mo ba yun?" I asked with fear. Natatakot na ako.
Nadala ako ng kuryusidad ko, tinulak ako para mag imbistiga. With my trembling hands, I knelt beside the bed at tumingin sa ilalim. My heart stopped when I saw the pale body lying there, motionless.
A surge of panic gripped me, but I couldn't look away. Slowly, I reached out and pulled the body. And there, staring back at me with lifeless eyes, was my boyfriend, Lawrence.
Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig at hindi ako maka pag salita. How could this be? He had been sleeping beside me just moments ago. Katabi ko lang, kasama ko lang siya kanina lang.
Reality crashed down on me with crushing force. Memories flooded my mind, the arguments, the jealousy, the rage. I had killed him, in a fit of blind fury, at itinago ang kanyang katawan sa ilalim ng kama.
Laughter bubbled up from deep within me, pero hindi ito tawa na masaya. It was a hollow, desperate sound, tinged with madness. Tumawa ako hanggang ang tawa ko ay naging hikbi, hikbi ng galit at sakit.
I had taken the life of the man I loved, consumed by jealousy and insecurity. At ngayon, habang naka titig sa walang malay niyang katawan, I realized that I had lost more than just him. I had lost myself, lost my humanity, in a moment of madness that could never be undone.
As the weight of my actions settled upon me, I heard sirens. Panic took over me but I sat on the bed when I realized I was the one who called them dahil sa na g-guilty ako, handa na akong harapin ang mangyayari sa akin dahil sa aking ginawang pag paslang sa lalaking minamahal ko.
Alam kong hindi ko na matatakbuhan at matatakasan ang takot dahil sa ginawa ko. I was trapped in a nightmare of my own making and I will live with the guilt for the rest of my days.
