Holding Back My Feelings (Rastro)

Chapter XVI

Let me sleep even just for tonight
'Cause I can't keep you from wandering 'round my mind

"Bianca. Bianca please sabihin mo kung nasan si Rhian. Please!" Pagmamaka-awa ni Glaiza sa kaibigan ni Rhian

"Glaiza please naman wag kang mag eskandalo dito!" Pakiusap ni Bianca at pilit pinapa-alis si Glaiza sa harap ng unit ni Rhian

And even if I can't have you
Even if I can't make you mine
I'll be standing waiting till it's time

Unti unting lumuhod si Glaiza sa harapan ni Bianca at umiiyak na nagsalita "Bianca please tell me kung nasan si Rhian."

"Glaiza please stand up" Tinulungan nitong tumayo si Glaiza bago huminga ng malalim at nagsalita "She has her flight at ten pm to Australia sa NAIA. Kanina pa sya umalis. But before sya umalis she told me na may pupuntahan muna sya somewhere na important place daw sainyong dalawa. That's it."

"Thank you."

But I can't let you ask me why
'Cause words won't ever be able to define

Dali daling pinatakbo ni Glaiza ang kotse nya at nagpunta sa isang bar sa may BGC. Yung bar kung saan sila ulit nagkita ni Rhian noon. Dali dali syang umakyat papunta sa rooftop ng building na yun pero wala syang nakitang Rhian ngunit may isang puting papel doon na pinapatungan ng isang wine glass.

Kinuha nya ito at tama nga ang hinala nya na galing ito kay Rhian.

"Hi Glai. I know kapag nalaman mo na I'll be leaving I'm sure susundan at susundan mo ko. I'm so sorry if I did not gave you the chance to explain. I'm so sorry if we have to part like this. I'm so sorry for being stubborn. I'm so sorry if hindi ko man lang nagawang yakapin ka at sabihin sayong "Pinapatawad na kita" If only I had courage to hug you back and tell you i really missed you too that time when you back hugged me and told me you missed me infront of my unit gagawin ko but my pride and my ego are restraining.

Glai I LOVE YOU I really do. Gulong gulo na ko sa nangyayari satin. Sobra akong nasasaktan kasi umasa ako. Pero ano pa nga bang magagawa ko? Glai I'm sorry if hindi man lang ako nakapagpa-alam sayo. I really love you Glaiza.

Goodbye Love..

          ~Rhian"           

Pinahid ni Glaiza ang mga luha sa mata nya at muli syang sumakay sa kotse at pinatakbo ng napakabilis ang papunta sa airport.

The happiness I feel when you're around
Can't let you look into my eyes

"Shit." Mura nya ng mastuck sya sa napakahabang traffic "Please Rhian. Please hintayin mo ko magpapaliwanag ako Rhian." Umiiyak na bulong ni Glaiza

Bumusina sya ng bumusina kahit alam naman nyang wala itong magagawa. Tinitignan nya ang oras. Mabilis itong lumilipas 8:30pm na. Unti unti na syang nawawalan ng pag-asa

May tumabi namang isang motor sa gilid ng sasakyan nya. Bumaba sya mula sa kotse at lakas-loob na kinausap ang lalaking nakasakay sa motor.

Cause I'm afraid I might just give in
When it seems we're not ready to try

"Glaiza?" Sabi ng lalaking nakamotor

"Marc?!"

"Uy! Girl! May pupuntahan ka ba? Nagmamadali ka ata?" Tanong ni Marc

"Marc, this is my car key. Pahiram muna ko ng motor mo please. Hinahabol ko lang si Rhian sa airport." Pagmamakaawa ni Glaiza

Dali daling bumaba ng motor si Marc at inabot kay Glaiza ang helmet "Oh! Okay okay. Magingat ka ha." Tarantang tugon ni Marc

"Salamat!" Sagot ni Glaiza at mabilis na pinatakbo ni ang motor

How could I possibly go on
When all I have in my mind's "together we belong"

Napatingin si Rhian sa relo nya

9:05 pm

Ilang minuto na lang at sasakay na sya ng eroplano.

I don't even know if it is right to leave you without giving you the chance to explain your side. I'm so sorry Glai...

"Good evening passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight 89B to Sydney, Australia. We are now inviting those passengers with small children, and any passengers requiring special assistance, to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately ten minutes time. Thank you."

Tumayo na sya mula sa kinau-upuan at naglakad papunta sa Gate 2 ng airport.

I stopped believing till you came along
What a chance of a lifetime
That I'm giving this for

Mabilis ang pagpapa-takbo ni Glaiza ng motor. Unti-unting pumapatak ang ulan pero hindi ito naging hadlang para tumigil sya sa paghabol kay Rhian sa airport.

But I can't let you ask me why
'Cause words won't ever be able to define

9:35pm..

Makikita ang pulang ilaw sa traffic light. Kailangan na talaga nyang bilisan para maabutan si Rhian.

The happiness I feel when you're around , Can't let you look into my eyes

Panginoon. Kayo na po ang bahala sakin alam ko pong mali itong gagawin ko pero please sana po hindi pa nakakaalis si Rhian.

Pumikit sya at tumingin muli sa traffic light na nananatiling nasa pula ang ilaw. Bumubuhos pa rin ang malakas na ulan. Unti unti nyang pinihit ang throttle ng motor at mabilis itong pinatakbo.

But I love you
But I love you
But I'm afraid this can't go on

*PEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP*

Tumingin sya sa kaliwa nang marinig ang malakas na busina. Mabilis nyang iniwas ang motor sa pick-up truck na mabilis ang takbo mula sa kaliwa nya.

*CRAAAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHHH*

Moment for moment I'll cherish all my life
We'll hold it forever
Even in the end it says "goodbye"
