CHAPTER 55

May's POV (Elena)

I stared at Yummie as she anxiously watches me and Luke from afar. Our boss' boyfriend tracked us hanggang dito sa lugar nila and it's only been three days since we left of course she'll be worried. Alam niya ang komplikasyon ng relasyon naming tatlo. We've been awkwardly sitting in the swing for almost a minute. Who knew that a minute would be this long?

"Shouldn't you fix your issue with your girlfriend first?" I asked deciding to break the silence

"I am," he answered looking straight into my eyes.

He appears to be indicating something to me, but this makes no sense. My brow furrowed as I glanced at him. So, what brings him here in the middle of the night?

"May," his pleading eyes met mine with intensity. "No, it's Elena, Elena let's talk."

Before I could be completely entranced with his captivating stare I broke free from his gaze and stood up.

"You've got the wrong person Mr. Javier, the woman you are—"

When Luke unexpectedly embraced me, I saw Yummie's surprised initial response. I tried to shove him away, but his grip just tightened.

"Go home. Leave. I am NOT Elena," I emphasized each word with gritted teeth.

Why does he have to follow me all the way here when all he could think about is Elena? Is it a sin when deep inside I am wishing he came for me? That he come for May Gonzales? Please stop this Luke. I don't want to hate you, please don't ruin the beautiful memories you have inside my head.

I felt his warmth as he carassed my hair, "You ARE Elena. You are the only woman I have and will ever love in this lifetime."

I felt my chest tighten. Dapat sa una palang pinigilan ko na. How many times have I regretted this? How many times have I said to myself na sana sa una palang I stoped this insanity? I can't be happy Luke telling me that he loves me, no, he loves Elena. Even if Elena's memory in me plays a big part in who I am today, the woman that this man, that Luke loves is the real Elena. And I am not that Elena. How can this be so confusing?

"May... This may sound absurd but... you have to believe me," he pleaded. Hindi ako sumagot, I was waiting for him to lighten his grip. Para saan pa ba na nagbakasyon ako para makalayo sa kanila kung siya na mismo ang sumunod? What does he want? Hinawakan niya ang magkabilang braso ko and made me face him. "You are not May Gonzales, I mean yes physically you are but how do I explain this.."

"I understand," I answered. He looked at me with a hopeful expression. I understand, you are just confused, I am too. That's why kailangan kong lumayo. That's why we both need to stay away from each other... to stop being confused. "I told you didn't I? I have this rare selective amnesia. I understand that you feel confused."

"No, what are you talking about? SInabi na sa akin ni May ang lahat. Truthfully, I thought I was going insane at first but she explained everything to me," he desperately explained. "If you still doubt my words come with me. Bumalik tayo, let's talk with the real May."

He stood up and held my hand but I pulled my hand away once again. His orbs painted pain in my rejection.

Ipinikit ko ang mata ko bago siya muling tiningnan, "Luke, I just reminded of you, Elena."

"Of course you do! You ARE Elena," he said.

"No, I don't know how at hindi din alam ng mga doctor pero I have Elena's memory pero kailangan mong maintindihan I AM NOT ELENA," madiin kong sambit. It's as if I am trying to convince myself, not him.

"Every time I am around Elena, she was like a distant stranger to me but you are different. Parang matagal na kitang kilala, pag kasama kita kahit na estranghero ka lang talaga sa buhay ko, I felt at ease with you," He took a deep breath and faced me. My heart is filled with happiness with his words that guilt was consuming my soul. "Whenever you're around, I don't know what's my true feelings anymore, I thought I was cheating Elena but I wasn't because I now know the truth, yes, I know, at first I was also confused but all that was answered by Elena, by the real May Gonzales, you will understand once you talked to her."
