I don't know if this was a proposal or what? May singsing na. But it was used as a pendant in a silver necklace.
"Calli..." he called my name almost a whisper. "Kaya mo rin ba akong mahalin?"
I was dumbstruck by his question. Kaya ko nga ba siyang mahalin? I can already hear his sincerity. Pero handa na ba ako? Kaya ko din ba siyang gustuhin? Or better say. Gusto ko na ba siya?
For how many minutes. Magkatitigan lang kami. Hindi ko nanaman mahila palabas yung dila ko.
Matagal ng oras ang nakalipas hindi parin ako nakakasagot sa tanong niya. Then I was shocked ng bigla na ulit siyang tumayo.
Lumapit siya doon sa may buksanan ng cubicle.
What is he doing!?
"Magpapakamatay ka ba!?" I asked pero hindi parin siya natinag. The door was now slightly opened. At mas lalo niya pa iyong binubuksan!
"Oo kung hindi ka pa din sasagot" pananakot niya. He was d*mn serious! Ikinawit na niya yung isa niyang paa sa labas!
For chrissake nasa pinaka taas kami ng ride na to. And we are as high as a 20th floor building!!
He will die in just a matter of seconds pag nahulog siya dito.
"Now Calli I'll count" pananakot ulit niya. "Pag di ka sumagot bago.matapos ang countdown ko. I'm serious. I'm gonna jump off here. Tutal wala na rin naman palang silbi buhay ko" he started "10"
"Ano bang sinasabi mo!?" I shouted back. "Sa palagay mo ba may magandang mangyayari kung magpapakamatay ka!?"
"Oo" he immediately answered. "At least yung sakit na mararamdaman ko pandalian nalang" he said straightly to my face. "I've waited for years Calli. And I'm still willing to wait. If you gave your answer. Kaya mo ba?" His eyebrows were telling me to answer him already.Anong gagawim ko!? I'm being agitated here! "9!"
Sh*t!!! What kind of proposal is this!?
"8!" He counted again.
"Will you please stop!! Anong kahibangan nanaman ba to!?"
"Sagot mo lang naman ang inaantay ko" he replied looking so tiring.
"Bakit mo ba ako minamadali?!" I asked again.
"Is 2 years not enough to decide!?" Balik niya sakin. He really look tired of all the waiting he had.
"7!" Now he's really not listening to me! Wala siyang pakialam sa sinasabi ko.
"6!"
Bwisit na lalake!!
"Ano bang gusto mong isagot ko!?"
I'm literally scared by now. But he's not giving me any comfort!
"5"
He face began to look sadly. Bakit ba kailangan pa niyang gawin to. And I know Danny he's one of the most impulsive person I've ever met. Gagawin niya kahit anong maisip niya.
"4"
"Wala ka ba talagang balak tumigil!?" Ugh! I'm started to get dizzy!
And again he's not listening to me!
"3!"
"Danny!!!"
Naiinis nako sakanya! Why does he have to be like this to get what he wants? Hindi ba niya naiisip na nahihirapan din ako!?
"2"
"Danny please wag mong itali sakin ang buhay mo! Marami pa ang babaeng magmamahal sayo!" I'm trying to reason out but he's really not listening!!
"1"
He was finally about to jump off the wheel when I absentmindedly pulled him back to me.
In too much force of pulling him.
Now he's above me looking inches away from each others faces.
"Please don't lose your life. Don't do it because of me" I said shivering.
"Please don't scare me" I unconsciously began producing tears down my cheeks.
He did not say a word. He just wipe my tears away.
When I sob that is when he decided to talk. "Shh. Sorry" he apologized. "Hindi naman talaga ako tatalon. Nanunubok lang" pag amin niya.
"Kung di lang kita hinila kanina ka pa nagulog!" Sigaw ko habang naiiyak.
He just smirked on my response. "Not really" he said smiling.
"And why is that?" I asked with a questionable look.
"Coz' if do really want to jump. I shouldn't had been counting" he chuckled. "And besides. Ni hindi mo nga binitawan yung kamay ko magmula kaninang magkasama tayo hanggang nung tatalon nako" he laughed quietly. "That's already an enough answer for me not to gave up on you." He said sincerely.
Still sobbing I asked. "Yun naman pala. Bakit nanakot ka pa!"
Alam kong pinipigilan lang niyang matawa dahil kanina pako iyak ng iyak. "Sorry. But still I'm happy that I'll be able to get the answer I'm waiting"
Inilayo niya ng konti ang mukha niya sakin. He let me wear the necklace then he pulled himself nearer again. I can almost smell his breath.
"Now I'm really going to let you feel that I'm really serious about you" he to me seriously. "I'm gonna make you love me. Whatever happens" he said assuring me. "Kahit na ayaw mo" he said quite teasing me.
He was looking deep inside my eyes for a minute and then decided to move away after. But before he can even stepped back.
I pulled him back at me once more and put my arms around his neck.
"No need" I said to him. "I think I also realized something just now"
His eyebrows creased all of a sudden.
I'm afraid to say this but. "I think I'm already falling for you too"
