WATCH OUT MS MANHATER 2 (SIGNS)

SIGN #18- GOODBYE

SIGN #18- GOODBYE

 

ASHA’s POV

 

“Terrence, I forgive you but i think hindi ko kayang makipagbaikan sayo. You’ve hurt me so much. I’m sorry.” Lumabas ako ng bahay para sabihin kay Jordan ang desisyon ko. Gusto ko na ring sabihin sa kanya ang tungkol sa feelings ko. Nakakamatay kapag palagi kong itatago sa kanya ang feelings ko.

I knock at their door at ang katulong nila ang nagbukas ng pinto. Nasa kusina daw si Jordan. Pumunta ako dun and I heard someone talking but I instantly stop because of what I heard.

“Ok, aalis na ako.” Aalis siya? Pero bakit? My brain is not functioning well. Napatingin siya sa akin and I unconsciously blurted what’s in my mind.

“aalis ka brent??!!” Agad siyang humiwalay sa pagkakayakap kay tita tesa which wakes me up in reality. Agad akong tumalikod and headed out the door pero nahawakan niya ang kamay ko. No, hindi ako pwedeng umalis. May buhay siya and I’m not part of his life anymore. I can’t require him to stay.

“Asha...” Agad akong humarap sa kanya before he could continue whatever he’s going to say.

“A-aalis ka na p-pala..... Para saan? A-alam na ba ni Chiney to? Y-you should have told her. M-masama magsekreto.” Kitang kita ko ang sakit sa mga mata niya. I know how it hurts to let go of someone you love. Someone important to you. Someone na hindi mo lang basta minahal as a lover but you treasures like your own brother.

Napayuko siya and gave me a smile nung tumingin siya sa akin. “Yeah. Inalok kasi ako na sumali sa foreign exchange program and I will stay in Malaysia for three years.” Three years? Can I wait for him? Oo kaya ko kakayanin ko.

“P-paano si Chiney.” He gave me a smirk before answering.

“Hindi naman naging kami. She blackmailed me para hindi ka lang masaktan. Don’t worry I don’t owe her any explanation.” Ako? Ako na naman? Bakit ba lahat sila ginagawa ang mga bagay bagay dahil sa akin? I did not pursue them to do it. Whether it’s a bad or good thing, it still hurt me so much.

“a-aaahhh.....g-ganun ba? Hmm....s-sige i have to go. Napadaan lang ako eh. B-bye.” I left the house and the moment I step my foot outside of their home, my tearsac finally broke and shredded me into tears.

JORDAN’s POV

 

Mabilis na dumaan ang mga araw and before I knew it, iiwan ko na si Asha. At sa mga panahong yun, i never get a chance to see her. Natakot kasi ako. Natakot ang baka kapag nakita ko siya, I would eventually change my mind. Pero diba nga sabi ni mommy, kung kami nga no matter what happened kami parin sa huli.

“Mag-ingat ka dun Jordan ha? Call us if you need anything.” Huling paalala ni mommy before I boarded the plane.

“Opo. Kayo din mag-ingat kayo dito.” I kissed them for the last time before I head off.

I  bid goodbye and promised myself to comeback for her.
