"P-priam.. What are you doing here?"
He didn't response.. Nakangiti lang sya.. Hindi sakin kundi sa may bandang likuran ko. Lumingon ako.. I saw another 'me' whose smiling back at him.
Like I'm watching a movie but the character is Priam and I.
I can see the desire of my doppleganger eyes longing for him.. Pero bakit? Nandito ako. Ako yung totoo.
Yung kamukha ko ang lumapit sa kanya and Priam just stayed on the ground where he stands.
He motioned his hands to stop her. "Hanggang dyan ka lang." he said.
Nagtataka naman yung kamukha ko.
"Seeing you is enough for me Xheen.."
Nag-init ang magkabilang sulok ng mga mata ko. Oh God. How I've missed his voice..
"I don't want to hurt you again just because of me.. I'm not enough for you because your too much for me Xheen.."
Naguguluhan ako.. Bakit Priam? Hindi mo na ba ako mahal? At bakit ka umaasa Xheen? Ugh.
Unvoiced questions.. Hindi ko magawang sabihin sa kanya o itanong man lang..
Like me, umiiyak na din yung kamukha ko..
"But I want us to be together again.."
"No Xheen.. Hindi na pwede.. But always remember this, I love you and I never cease from loving you.."
Nasasaktan ako sa mga naririnig ko. Priam.. I love you too.. Pero bakit hindi na pwede? Galit kana rin ba sakin? Is it because of my pride?
"Take care Xheen.. Take care.."
I wiped my tears immediately.
"Where are you going?" Finally, I've asked.
Ngumiti sya. This time, sa akin na talaga sya nakatingin.
"Priam.. No.. You can't do this.. Hindi mo naman ako iiwan diba?"
Unti-unti syang lumalayo at unti-unti ko rin syang hinahabol.
'I LOVE YOU' He mouthed at me.
"No! Priam! Get back here!"
Parang wala syang naririnig. Unti-unti pa rin syang lumalayo.
I don't know how hard I've cried nang hindi ko na sya nahabol pa.
