Dare to Love the Ice Queen

Prologue

Prologue

At first I was nothing. But now I was meant to be something. Akala ko walang makakapansin sa akin. I had already enough pain from the past at dahil sa sakit na naidulot sa akin ng nakaraan, I locked myself up where no one can hurt me. I was so scared getting hurt all over again...

But unexpectedly...

.

.

.

.

Dumating sila...

.

.

.

.

They knocked.

But I didn't open.

Patuloy silang kumakatok at palagi ko rin silang hindi pinagbubuksan.

It repeated a hundred times. Same routine. They were still patiently knocking...

.

.

.

.

Pero dumating ang isang araw na hindi na sila kumatok...

Maybe they're already tired of waiting for me to let them in...

.

.

.

.

Pareho lang din sila sa iba... Sumusuko agad...

I stood up and decided to open up, nagbabakasaling na roon pa rin sila... My hands were shaking... I'm still scared... I took a deep breath... Oras na ata para buksan ang matagal nang nakasiradong pinto ng puso ko...

I was about open the door...

Hindi ko pa nahawakan ang door knob nung biglang bumukas ito.

Napaatras ako...

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

"Finally," bungad ng isa.

"I thought----" hindi nila ako pinatapos...

They hugged me. Nanigas ako. I was in a state of shock. Nang magkahiwalay na kami, hinawakan ng babae ang aking kamay. I felt the warmth of her hands.

"I would never, ever, give up on you. So don't shut me out." she said.

"Tama siya. Don't shut us out," dagdag ng isang lalaki.

"We're always here for you," sabi ng lalaking may eyeglasses.

Then the last guy took a step forward.

"At hinding hindi ko hahayaan na ikulong mo uli ang sarili mo," he said.

Hearing those words melt my frozen heart. Tears started running down on cheeks. Napangiti ako.

I feel different. Parang nagising ako sa napakatagal na pagkatulog. And this is the first time that I smiled... Again. :)
