Chapter 15: Worth it

Let’s make this thing get serious. Kudos to me! Lels!

***

True enough, the heart that was once ruined would beat again and again. If we’re lucky, we’d make a better relationship with only few scratches. Otherwise, we’d spend our life with agony, pain, and regret. This is what Torres thought while holding a glass of vodka inside a bar. Isang Torres na nakaupo sa isang bar stool at nagpapaka-distress. Isang cliché na tanawin sa mga istorya kung saan, ang lalakeng bida ay nasaktan at iniwan.

Yes, he was left. Left by someone who he truly loves, masakit lalo pa’t sa isang katulad niya na minsan lang magmahal. But what can he do? Well, he gone bad and miserable.

1 year ago.

Pierro Jaime Torres, kilala dahil sa dala nitong apelido. Torres, business tycoons. But nevertheless, Pierro Jaime made his own name. Ang kaso bilang isang estudyanteng blues. Wala pake sa pag-aaral, rebelde. He’s a rebel guy dahil kulang sa pang-unawa, parent’s attention... number one problem of rich kids.

 And that will add the picture of Shantal Yu, ang isang anghel na bumaba sa lupa, not literally. Angelic face and angelic heart, she’s that almost perfect.

Sa dinami-dami ng babaeng nahuhumaling kay Pierro Jaime, siya lang ang tanging nakakuha ng puso nito and she’s also the one baptized Pierro Jaime as Torres.

“S-Shantal?” Torres stuttered as she calls her name. Alam niyang mga kamay nitong ang nagtatakip sa mga mata niya. Just her scent, he knew it already.

“When will be the time na masu-suprise kita? You really know me that well huh?” She gigled as they sat under the tree, where they used to stay and let their time runs.It’s their haven, ang lugar na puno ng ala-ala. Where they get together, first kiss and a lot of sweet moments they shared together.

“You did suprised me once, sweety.”

“And when was that?”

“It’s when the very first time that you told me that you love me too.” Then he leaned closer to her and kiss her soft lips passionately.

Everything was perfect. They’re madly inlove with each other. Torres is getting his self well, he’s trying to be the perfect guy for him. Regardless, he’s a perfect one, indeed. And Shantal, she’s trying her very best to support Torres.

Pero gaya nga ng sabi nila, hindi maaaring maging perpekto ang lahat. At gaya ng mga kwento sa mga fairytale, may hahadlang.

“What’s the meaning of this?!” Torres closed his fist as he watch the scene that breaks his heart into pieces. “Tell me, Shantal! Ano ito?”

“T-Torres.” She sobbed as she try to get closer to him.

“I told you, PJ. Shantal is not worth it to you. She meant for somebody else and it’s Erik!”

“No! Di yan tototo, Shane! Torres let me explain, please...”

“Explain what? Kitang-kita ko na, kitang-kita ng dalawang mata ko. You’re kissing Erik! You’re kissing another guy!”

Di mapigilang di mapaupo ni Torres habang sunod-sunod na pumapatak ang kanyang mga luha. To all people na pwedeng lokohin siya, never pumasok sa isipan niya na si Shantal ito. The girl he really loves, the first girl who captures his heart.

“T-Torres.-“

“No Shantal, stop right there! PJ, let’s go.” Instead na sumama kay Shane ay tumayo si Torres at tumakbo. Running from Shantal, running from everything.

But Shantal can’t take it, seeing Torres running away from her, it really breaks her heart. So she chased after him and an accident that made everything changed happens.
