"I'm sure he must have his own reasons." -Denisse.
Denden's POV:
"Why... Why did you hide it from me?" I asked him.
"Because I couldn't believe it." He answered. "That he would actually forget about us. I told him I would give him time, so he had to come back. But he never did. He did forget about us. He was serious."
"He promised to be with me forever. And yet... why? What did I do wrong?" I asked with tears streaming down my cheeks. "Was I lacking in something?"
"You didn't do anything wrong. Time just changed everything." Napayuko ako sa sinabi niya.
"Aly won't be coming back." Napaluhod na lang ako sa harap niya.
Lumuhod si Liam at niyakap ako ng mahigpit habang gumahagulgol ako. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Parang nanghina ako sa mga sinabi niya. Bakit gano'n? Sobrang sakit.
"From now on, I'll take all the burden... you can't carry. So it's gonna be fine."
Inalala at binalikan ko sa isipan ko mga huling sandali na nakasama ko si Aly noong paalis siya, sa kung saan ko siya hinabol noong paalis na ang tren na sinasakyan niya. Lahat ng mga sinabi niya noong nasa probinsya na siya. Nakatatak lahat iyon sa isip ko.
-HOME (Denden's Room)-
"Denisse, are you alright?"
"Just done with my fifth class."
"Maganda ang weather dito."
"My class has a lot of guys."
"It's only the first day, so I don't really know what's going on."
"But the girls here are super arrogant."
"Everyone talks a lot."
"I won't go to group dates."
"Sorry, I'm in the middle of something now."
Binasa ko lahat ng mga messages niya sa akin at sinimulang burahin lahat ng iyon. Memory is always there. In my memory, he's still 19 years old.
- Next morning (Work) -
"Yes, this is Denisse. Ah, thanks for the good work! Is it time already? Yes. I'm just about to go downstairs now."
Habang kausap ko sa phone ang isa sa mga client namin ay naglakad na ako. Bitbit ang mga papeles na kakailanganin sa meeting namin.
"Yes, I'm heading over. Thank you."
Ilalagay ko na sana sa bulsa ko ang phone ko kaya lang nahulog lahat ng hawak ko kaya pinulot ko pa iyon. Kung kailan nagmamadali ako tsaka pa ito mangyayari.
"What are you doing?" Napatingin ako sa babaeng tumulong sa akin sa pagpulot ng mga dala ko at napangiti ako nang makita siya.
"Nikki." Sambit ko at ngumiti naman siya sa'kin.
"Here you go." Inabot niya sa akin ang isang folder.
"Salamat." Sabi ko at sabay kaming tumayo.
Mabait siya at siya ang unang nag-approach sa akin nang pumasok na ako sa trabaho. Naging magkaibigan kami at sinabi niya sa akin na nakasama niya si Aly noon.
