A Twist in My Story *Completed*

Prologue

"Damsel, Damsel. Hear me out, please. I'm sorry, ngayon ko lang na realize. I'm sorry, I doubt at first. Pero hindi nagtagal nalaman ko na itong nararamdaman ko para sa'yo. Huli na ba ako?"

Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko para ipakita at iparamdam ko sa kanya na mahal ko talaga siya. She thought I'm only fooling her. But I don't mean that. What I really mean is me and her, together. But she was gone and left me only with a question, "When will she come back?"

"Nakipagkita ako para sabihin sa'yo ang lahat. I want to make everything clear to you. Sorry if ngayon ko lang ito sasabihin. I might be too late, pero tatanggapin ko lahat. Lahat ng sasabihin mo. Sana, please, pag narinig mo na ang sasabihin ko, sana maintindihan mo ako at sana, walang magbago....

Kasi mahal kita. Hindi lang bilang kaibigan, kundi bilang maging sino ka man."

I said those. Umamin ako, inamin ko. Kahit wala akong kasiguraduhan sa magiging reaksyon niya. But I'm ready to face everything rather than being guilty of what I've done. Handa akong bumawi. Sa kahit anong paraan. But she left me with no chance. Will she come back?

••••

"Damsel, hindi ko na kaya. I can't hold on for this too long. Nahihirapan rin ako. Kasalanan ko, oo, na ito ang pinili ko. But I just want to protect you. I know you won't like me, so I thought na ito na lang ang magiging paraan ko para mapansin at makausap kita. I'm sorry. I... I'm such a coward. Ito naman talaga ang balak ko, eh. But you fall for another. Am I late? Please give me a chance. I'm begging you. I knew I cannot tell you that I love you, so instead of saying it, I just made you feel it. Am I too late? Can't we make things work out for us?"

Alam kong matagal na siyang may gusto sa iba. I held on that for so long. Hanggang sa hindi ko na natiis. I told her everything. In that way, the pain in my chest would be lessen. But I guess it only made it worst. Is she angry of me? Did she not accept me? Did she left because of me?

I wouldn't ask id she would come back, like how others did. Instead of waiting for nothing, I'll follow her.

••••

Three persons. Different reasons but shares the same situation. All three are important for her. Would it affect her that much even if these people hide something important for her?

•••

I left without having the chance to say goodbye. Without having the chance to make everything right. To bring back the order of every mess we've made. But would it be worth it? Do they deserve it?

I'm afraid. I'm afraid that once I step back to the old pavements, I will fall, again.

But for whom?
