Farewell [Special for MRB]

Happy Ending

Happy Ending

He felt the unfamiliar twinge of pain inside his chest. But he kept his promise, hindi siya iiyak. Kim doesn't want to see him cry, and so he won't cry. He promised he won't.

But tears can never be helped, isa ito sa parte ng katawan natin na may sariling pag-iisip. It flows even without our consent, just like how pain demands to be felt.

Kim is considering her death as a happy ending. It's an ending of what is painful and a beginning of what is unforgettable. It is indeed a memory for keep and to weep.

But how can he move on if everytime he closes his eyes, all the happy memories comes back and makes him totally awake about reality. Para itong tubig, it flows down, it streams like a river on his head, and it can't be helped.

How can he move on kung pakiramdam niya wala ng dahilan pa para mabuhay siya? Kim became his life, his everything. Hindi siya makapaniwalang ang masayang kahapon ay maghahatid sa kaniya ng masakit na kinabukasan. It's too painful that he thought he can't breathe.

How can he forget this angelic face in a white wedding dress resting in peace inside a golden cage? Para lang itong isang prinsesa na mahimbing na natutulog at pagsikat ng araw ay muling didilat upang hagkan siya.

The wedding gown suits her well, the make-up suits her well, ni hindi niya man lang nasabi sa kaniya kung gaano siya kaganda. Her beauty is deeper than any beauties he has ever seen, walang makakapantay dito sa puso niya.

Si Kim lang ang babaeng nagpakilala sa kaniya ng tunay na kahulugan ng pagmamahal. Love can conquer any war, it is not just a word but a strong weapon in the middle of wars. Love can make blind eyes see, love can disarm untamed hearts. All the impossibles cannot argue about love, it makes everything possible as long as it exists. Love is real that it exceeds to the boundaries of a heart and spills all over our soul.

Pero ang babaeng nagturo sa kaniya ng maraming bagay ay wala na. At sa pagitan nila ay isang malinaw na salamin na nagpapakita sa kaniyang tapos na. They're story met the finale, the most painful battle, the maddening reality.

She's gone, the girl he's looking right now is not sleeping but dead. She wears that wedding gown but she won't go to church to marry him today, she will go to heaven and she won't be coming back to life again.

"Kim ..why do you have to leave? Why do you have to leave me?" It feels like dying, it feels like someone's choking him. He can't even say how painful it is to see the girl lying lifelessly.

"I love you..I love you. I want to marry you, but you never said you do. I want to bring you to our house, make love to you, make you feel wanted. I want to see our kids, I want to be a father to your children. I want to listen to their cries, I want to see you smile. I dream of you beside me at night, I want to wake up every morning seeing your face. I want to be your half, your husband, I want to be with you. Why can't we just be together? Why won't you let me follow you?"

He stared at her face, he used to smile and laugh on his own whenever this face makes happy and cute emotions. He used to feel so inlove with this face, with her clumsiness, with her wittiness. He miss her so much that he wants to wake up if this is just a dream, but it's not. It's a nightmare yet a reality.

"She left us with very beautiful memories," came from the brokenhearted man. He pat Xian's shoulder as he shares a sight of their angel.

He sighed. He sees through Kim, he understands the reason behind everything. Afterall,he's a man full of understanding. Sa kanilang lahat, siya ang higit na tumanggap ng buo sa pagkamatay nito. It was hard to accept but it's harder to live in pain.

Nasaktan na siya nung una, nang piliin ng babaeng mahal niya ang ibang lalaki. But he accepted it because he loves her, he will do everything for her at his own expense. But for a man who gave up for the love of his life, para sa taong nagparaya para sa kaligayahan ng mahal niya, isn't it more painful for him? Him who felt the pain twice?

He smiled sadly at the sight of her face, "She's an angel now, I know she will always be here with us no matter what. I still adore you Kim, I will remain as your lover even after your death."

There are people in his life that he can consider angels born without wings. And Kim is one of them, she's an angel without wings, whose halo is hidden.

He pats Xian's shoulders once more, "Hindi ko alam ang dapat sabihin sa'yo Xian. Because honestly, nararamdaman ko rin ang nararamdaman mo. I can't say everything will be okay because I know it won't, and it will never be the same again."

Xian remained soundless. He was mourning yet he never cried. Isang hiling lang ni Kim ang kaya niyang pagbigyan at 'yun ay ang hindi pag-iyak. He knows it's impossible but he will do it, it's the most possible thing he could do.

Kim wants him to move on, oo hindi siya minamadali but he has no plans of moving on. He can never do that, for him, it's like killing his self.

"Xian it's already time," Armie murmured beside him.

Umiling ito, sandali nalang, sandaling oras pa. Ito lang naman ang hinihingi niya, kaunting oras pa. He can't let go of this face yet, no..hindi pa niya kaya.

"Xian.."

Unti-unting naninikip ang dibdib niya. Gusto niya nalang kunin ito at hagkan, hindi niya kayang makuntento sa pagtitig lamang dito. The clear glass between them makes him feel she's still miles away and it suffocates him.

"Xian tama na.." Armie cried, "Tama na please..we have to let her go."

"Kim..Kim..I love you, I love you so much. Do you hear me? Please don't go, please.."

Everyone's crying at the sight. A man kneeling, a man begging for his princess to stay. What a tragedy it is to see two young hearts being broken. How painful it is to see how their smile from yesterday turned into cries and goodbyes.

"Xian.." Armie tugged his arm and hugged him, "Tama na please." She cried.

Hinila nila ito palayo. They have to let her go, ayaw na nilang mahirapan pa si Kim sa pag-alis. Tyler Scofield closed the coffin of his only child, stepped backward and watch as it slowly goes down.

Xian felt the sting of unshed tears as he watch Kim being snatched by the ground.

She's gone. The love of his life, his princess bride said goodbye.The runaway faced death bravely. How could a weak girl consider death as a happy ending?

Author's note!

Finally delivered her words to you. Actually, this update was about a year ago. Ang tagal ko na itong naisulat but I had problems about my stories and I believed it wasn't the time yet. Pero ngayon, I'm glad natapos na. So here you go.

Again, I'm deeply sorry for making a lot of you cry. Ang daming nag-message, most of them were begging for an alternative ending pa nga. Pero I can't do that, I have to stick to the plot. But still, I want to thank you guys for making it up to here!

For dedications, please message niyo po ako or mag-comment kayo. I usually reply within three days or kapag naman nakita ko agad nagrereply naman ako. So, I'll be posting the prologue of The Beast He Became after several days.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my dear smileys! I love you so much! God bless!
