After 9 years...

"Timothy! Wait for me." I said habang tulak-tulak ko yung gamit namin. Ugh, I already expected this na mangyayare to! Bakit ba kasi pinasama pa sakin ni Adrian si Timothy? This is bullshit!

Timothy came back at kumapit sa tinutulak ko. Tss! Marunong naman pala siyang bumalik sa amo niya. Pagkalabas namin ng airport, agad kaming sinalubong ng isang lalaking nakablack suit. I guess sila ang maghahatid samin sa hotel. Sinimulan niyang bitbitin isa isa yung mga gamit namin sa likod ng kotse. I open the backseat door para makapasok sa Timothy na juskopo! Kailangan buhatin ko pa para makasakay. Argh! Hindi ba to' tinuruan ni Adrian na gumalaw sa sariling paa? Mygosh! Manang-mana sa daddy niya.

Sumakay na rin ako sa loob also the driver. I told him to drop me first to a cemetery and he follows. While the car is moving, I look outside the window and everything seems new to me. It's been 9 years since the day I left this place. I didn't know that I will miss this place so much.

The car stop and I realize na nandito na pala kami. Bumaba ako and inalalayan ko si Timothy pababa. I told the man na kami nalang dalawa ang papasok sa loob. We started walking while Timothy was holding my hand. Habang papalapit kami dun ng papalapit, I start loosing my strength na tingnan ang pangalan niya na nakaukit doon. There, I just saw myself standing in front of his grave.

"Mommy Yana, who is that?" inosenteng tanong ni Timothy while pointing his finger towards him.

"It's my dad, Timothy." malungkot kong sabi and tears starts to flow down my eyes. Hindi na muling narinig pang nagsalita si Timothy.

'Wayne Montes'

He died 7 years ago and ngayon lang ako nakabisita sa puntod niya. How awful to imagine na hindi naging maayos ang ending niya. He took a suicide and we suspect ay yun ay dahil sa pagalis ko ng hindi niya alam. Late ko na rin siya nalaman when the Vice President of the company contacted me. I ask mom kung anong gagawin and she just told me to focus on my studies and wait for the time of my graduation. Para daw pag nakagraduate nako, I will go back here and manage the company. My mom is very nice to me and she apologized doon sa mga sinabi niya sakin 18 years ago. She showed na mahal na mahal niya talaga ako.

Sa ngayon, I just want to apologize. I know in the first place na mali talaga ang ginawa ko. Masyado akong nagpadala sa emosyon kung kaya't umalis ako ng hindi nila alam. Marami nakong nasaktan.

Hinawakan ko na yung kamay ni Timothy and walk back to the car. I told the driver to bring us to my designated hotel kung saan ako pansamantalang mag-iistay. Yes, pansamantala. I'm still on the verge of training in Mom's company. Umuwi lang ako to check my dad's company. The board directors already had a meeting and decided na ako ang maghahandle since it will brought success to the company dahil na rin sa mga knowledge na natutunan ko sa New York.

And another reason. Mygosh! Khloe Mei Servuentes and Rhenz James Trevada is getting married. Ugh. I was invited to be one of the bride's maid. To be honest, minsan ko lang sila ma-contact dahil napakastrikto ni mom sa studies ko. I do understand her but mygod! Di ko sila matitiis. And ... everytime na makakausap ko sila, I keep asking them if how was him. I sigh and keep receiving same answer. Wala na daw silang nabalita sa kanya after lying to him. Everything is my fault, I admit.

About Emi and Vinz, I only heard that they are still in the relationship and nothing happened next. And after the 3 years punishment, saktong 12 talaga ng umaga after ng tatlong taon nayun, they were shocked na nandun yung mga boys sa tapat ng bahay nila. The boys hugged them and told them that they miss them so much. Natawa ako kasi nag-open yung mga boys about sa side nila na hindi talaga sila mapakali sa tuwing iniisip nila na baka may iba na palang lalake ang umaaligid sa kanila. As for Mien and Ace, their engagement are still planned. I think, sila ata yung susunod kanila Kei. Pinatawad na pala ni Mien si Ace and they console each other about their feelings. I really can't stop myself smiling dahil finally, nagkaroon na ng matinong lovelife ang mga kaibigan ko...except for me. I sigh. When would I be able have a chance to see him? When would I be able have a confidence to see him after leaving him hurt back in 9 years?

The car stop and bumaba na kami ni Timothy. Bad luck happens dahil tumakbo na siya paloob. Ugh, kahit kailan talaga. I pick up my bag and grab my phone. I told the driver na ipasok nalang sa designated room ko. I'm sure naman na alam niya yun. Nagmadali akong pumasok to catch up to Timothy. But to my surprise, wala siya. Usually kasi, tatakbuhan niya ako pero hindi naman ganun kalayo sakin. Unlike now, holyshit! Where the hell is he? Agad kong nilapitan yung dalawang naguusap na employees sa may stairs.

"Excuse me. May nakita ba kayong bata na 6 years old. Ganito siya kataas and he's a little bit chubby. He's wearing a blue sweater and knee-length shorts."

"I'm sorry pero hindi po. Do you want us to report it to the management?"

"No. I'll just look for him." I said and umalis sa harap nila. Tss. Wanna know why? It only states na tamad sila.

Ugh, kahit kailan talaga. I keep walking hanggang sa makarating ako sa pool area. The place is huge. Hoping na mahanap ko siya dito. But I don't think it will happen. Timothy is afraid of water. Why? Ewan ko dun. Bano yun eh. I dialled Adrian's skype and wala pang isang minuto, sinagot niya agad. Bumungad agad yung mukha niya sa screen ng phone ko and at the right corner, nandun yung cam ko.

"Hi, Adrian." I greeted and wave my hand.

"Oh, napatawag ka? Hindi ako magtatagal. I'm freaking busy right now." He said and kitang-kita ko na kung anong-anong sandamakmak na files and dumaan sa cam niya. "By the way, how is Ti--"

"Oh, can't you see? The weather is nice." I said and inikot-ikot ko pa yung phone. "And I have a peaceful mind right now. Hindi ko kasama si Timothy. He's missing." I said and inayos ko pa yung sarili ko sa cam.

Bigla niyang binagsak yung mga files na bitbit niya kanina-nina lang. "What the fuck? Pinabayaan mo siya. Didn't I told you to take care of my son?!"

"What? Wala kang karapatang magalit sakin dahil may minana sayo si Timothy. Matigas . Ang. Ulo! He rush inside and hindi ko na siya nahabol cause I'm busy picking up our things. Whose fault do you think it is?" kalmado kong sabi sa kanya.

"Hey, Timothy is our case here. End this call and find him!" he said and gritted her teeth.

"I'm tired. Fly back here and find him by yourself. Besides, I wasn't the one who force him to brin---" I gasped as I saw someone behind me through the cam infront of me.

Unti-unti kong binaba yung phone and hindi ko magawang lingunin yung taong nasa likod ko. Hindi rin ako makapaniwala kung siya ba yung nasa likod ko. I close my eyes and turn myself to him slowly. And there, it is really him.

"Hoy Lhiana!! I'm still talking to you!! I will tell this to Tita Luisa na pinabayaan mo yung anak k---" pinindot ko yung end call at saka tumingin sa lalaking nakatayo sa harapan ko. He is still the same. He's tall and still has this deer eyes and thin lips. His brown hair is styled in up. He's wearing a formal shirt, jeans and a shoes. He totally look handsome today. As I was describing him, hindi ko na pala namalayan na isa-isang nagtulo yung mga luha mula sa mata ko. I still can't believe that I'm already standing in front of him.

Biglang sumulpot ang isang bata sa likod niya then I realized it was Timothy. "Mommy Yana!" he said and tumakbo papalapit sakin. Niyakap niya yung binti ko and saw him smiling. Was he with him? Napatingin ulit ako sa kanya. He was just only giving me his cold eyes and I can see his 'Bad boy' appearance.

"Thank y--" pinutol niya yung sasabihin ko. "No worries. After this, start taking care of your very own...son."

Then in a blink of an eye, he just walk..passed..by me. He never gave me a chance to talk to him. He never gave me a chance to explain everything. He never gave me a chance to tell him why I did that. He never gave me a chance to tell him how much I've missed him. He never gave me a chance to tell him how much I love him.

This is my punishment after 9 years of punishing him.

End.
