Chapter Twelve
“With Him”
Puno pa rin ng tensyon ang paligid. Neither of the two dared to talk, to move or even to breath.
She was alone with him inside the car. What would she do to stop the tension? Would she speak? And what would she say? Non-sense? Or would she better let the tension stay until they reached her home? Could she bear to wait that long?
It was raining heavily outside and the road was pitch-black. She can’t help but to glance at him once in a while, and maybe enjoy this moment, enjoy every single second with him, because she may never do this again.
But then the car stopped.
Wondering what was going on, she gave him a puzzled look.
“I know this was unusual especially for you who just came from Paris, but it was a costum here to stop over to some place when you came from funeral, maybe to get rid of bad spirits I think.” He said smiling.
'Nang-iinis ba siya? Kung alam lang niya kung gaano kaawkward ito para sa akin...It was awkward to stay in a car with him' wika ng isip niya.
She just gave him a bored look, though deep inside, her heart was pounding heavily, and she was struggling to hide it from him.
Lumabas na lang si Johann without hearing a word from her. What does he expects her to say? Non-sense?
Huminga siya ng malalim, trying to calm herself. “I’m okay, right?” she convinced herself, thinking it would work.
Ilang sandali pa’y nakita niya ang paglabas ni Johann sa convenient store with cofees on one hand and umbrella on the other. Gusto niya itong tulungan subalit naisip niyang wag na lamang sapagkat baka may isipin pa itong di tama.
Lumapit sa side niya ng kotse si Johann at iniabot sa kanya ang cofees, then he turned to the other side of the car to be on the driver seat to where he originally was.
Ilang minuto ang lumipas na wala pa rin silang kibuan subalit, binasag ni Johann ang katahimikan...
“It’s been a while right?” he said staring at the road ahead.
“What?” she asked pretending not to get the statement he just said.
“It’s been a while since we’ve been soaked in the rain” he said.
“Oh? I already forgotten it.” she said lying.
“Thought so.” He agreed, then started up the engine.
That was another silence. And the tension doubled it’s intensity.
She was biting her lip indicating she was nervous. She just claimed to herself that it was awkward to stay with him like this, but not the reason why.
Parang sasabog na ang puso niya sa lakas ng tibok nito. Tulad pa rin ng dati. Walang nagbago. Maging ang nadarama niya para rito.
Umuulan din non...
Tulad din ng dati.
“I am still in love with you, Samantha.” He said not looking at her, but with his eyes focused on the road.
She was staring outside. Not realizing that in just a few blocks, they’ll be in her house.
After hearing what he just said, she turned her head to face him.
“What did you just say?” she asked thinking she heard it wrong.
“I love you.” He said.
Nakahinto na ang kotse.
Nanlaki ang maliliit niyang mga mata. Sobrang lakas ng tibok ng puso niya at ang isip niya ay gulong-gulo na.
“I thought I was over you. But seeing you again, talking to you like this, being with you now...it feels like it was just yesterday. That a decade was just yesterday. And yes I still do, I am still in love with you. And that was all I know.” He said looking at her.
A tear has fallen from her eye. Then their lips touched again. Just like yesterday.
Subalit...may isang pusong nasasaktan sa nakikita niya. Isang pusong biktima ng pagkakataon.
Kitang-kita ni Allysa ang lahat...Kitang-kita niyang hinalikan ng asawa niya ang itinuring niyang bestfriend na si Samantha.
Napaupo siya sa lupa at naihulog niya ang payong na kanina niya pang hawak-hawak, kaya’t di niya nakita pa ang mga sumunod nanangyari...
Lumabas si Samantha sa kotse ni Johann. Nagpabasa siya sa ulan. At nakita niya ang nanlulumong si Allyssa sa harap ng gate ng kanyang bahay.
Nilapitan niya si Allyssa...
Subalit...
Isang malakas na sampal ang ibinigay nito sa kanya...
“Ang kapal ng mukha mo!” ani Allyssa.
“Why did you slap me?” tanong niya.
“Because...” wika ni Allyssa, “You’re my husband’s mistress.” Allyssa said.
Hawak-hawak ni Samantha ang namumulang pisnge. Tumayo siya.
Lumabas si Johann sa kotse.
“We don’t have an affair” wika ni Samantha...“We’ve never had one!”
