Audrey and Chase (COMPLETED)

Chapter 52 - The Last Thread

AUDREY'S POV

Tulalang umiiyak nalang ako as he revealed his story. I couldn't utter anything. Ni hindi na din ako makagalaw. Nanghina nalang ang katawan ko at tuluyan ng nablangko ng utak ko.

I lost all my will to fight.

I lost all of my reasons to live.

Para saan pa?

Xavier then touched my face and gently lifted it to make me face him. He wiped my tears with his thumb. At kahit namumugto ang mga mata, he warmly smiled at me.

The kind of smile reassuring me that everything will be okay.

"Stop crying, retard." He then said to me.

"Seryoso ka bang sinasabi yan sakin?" naiinis na tanong ko.

"Would I mention it if I'm not?" he retorted with his smart mouth.

"Xavier, ano ba?!" I yelled.

I couldn't help it. Alam ko namang hindi ako dapat na umiyak sa harap nya. Alam kong masakit din sa kanya na makitang nagkakaganito ako. Still, telling me to stop crying knowing that anytime I could lose him? Mapipigilan ko ba?

All of a sudden, I felt him gently patting my head. Napatingin ako sa kanya sa ginawa nya. And like earlier, I saw him smiling again at me. Paano nya nagagawang ngumiti pa ng ganon?

"Umiiyak ka na ang ganda mo pa din. Kailan ka kaya magiging panget sa paningin ko?" he joked and let out a weak chuckle.

Imbis na mainis ulit ay inintindi ko nalang sya. Hurt was all over his eyes for he wasn't used to me crying like this. Mas sanay syang pinapaiyak nya ko sa masasayang dahilan that's why he's trying his best to make me smile.

Kahit na ang totoo nun mas mahirap sa kanya ang ngumiti at ipakitang parang wala lang sa kanya ang lahat.

What did I ever do to deserve this man who has a great and deep love for me?

What did he ever do to deserve this kind of pain?

"May sakit ka na, ang gwapo mo pa din. May chance ka pa bang pumanget?" I replied. And for the second time, he chuckled.

"Sabi na e. Bagay talaga tayo. Maganda ka. Gwapo ako. You really are my other half. You're really meant for me. Pang-akin ka lang talaga." He commented.

One of my brows shot up, "Bakit? Ibibigay mo ba ko sa iba?"

"Magpo-propose ba ko kung ibibigay lang din kita sa iba? Would I ever try to give you this grand wedding if I wanted to see you be with other man? Stupid." He replied as he rolled his eyes on me.

"You're the one who's stupid, stupid." I shot back and rolled my eyes back on him. Within a matter of seconds, pareho kaming natawa.

It didn't last though. Because Xavier suddenly got quiet and stared at me.

"What's wrong?" I then asked and he shook his head on me.

"You're even more stunning when you're laughing and I couldn't help but fall deeper in love with you. God. Having you near me right now is bad for me. Ang sakit mo sa puso." Xavier said while holding unto his chest.
