Untitled.

Attempt 3. [Source]

A/N: the song in this was the one that inspired me to write this plot.

Expect grammatical (and typographical) errors; and this is the third attempt, for I want to make this short and simple.

Do you know, why I said that our story is untitled?

"You sure you want me to read this now?" He said as I lay on my bed, him holding my hand tight while looking at the letter on my bedside table. I smiled sadly as I answer his question,

"Yeah, for you to know everything."
I can see him grab the letter and starts to unfold it for him to read the contents inside.
Hindi niya alam na ang papel na nakatiklop eh more than one paper so nalaglag ang natitirang mga papel. I giggled as he reached for the papers on the floor.
"Yes. That contains more than one sheet of paper, mahaba-haba kasi, eh. Sorry. Hehehe."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Tinignan ko ang tatlong papel na hawak ng kamay ko at hindi ko pa man nababasa ay parang may karayom na tumutusok sa puso ko.

"Arin, I don't think I can read this." Parang babae man tignan, pero nagsimulang bumagsak ang mga luha sa mata ko habang ako'y nasa harap niya, still not accepting the fact that she might die while I'm reading this letter.
"Shh." Narinig kong sabi niya habang kinuha niya ang mga papel sa pagkakahawak ko at ibinalik ulit iyon sa bedside table niya,

"Don't cry. Just read the letter loudly for me, please?" Sabi niya habang hinihimas ang likod ko.

You don't know my pain because it's you who's going to leave, not me.

And thinking about that fact makes me want to go with her, wherever she's going.

Sobrang sakit.

"Just imagine that you're reading me a bedtime story."
"Arin, hindi ito ganoon kadali. You'll be gone sooner that I ever imagined! Can you just expect me to feel alright?" I shouted while she was there, stoned with the sudden outburst that I am currently having.

"Hindi ganoon kadaling tanggapin na yung taong pinakamamahal ko, yung babaeng sinandalan ko, ginabayan ako, sinamahan at inintindi ako for all these years, ay iiwan na pala ako!"

"I understand. Dude, please--"

"No, you don't. Kasi hindi naman ikaw yung maiiwan, Arin."

"Ako. Ako yung iiwanan mo." Pagkatapos nun ay nangibabaw ang malakas na iyak sa kuwarto. Hindi iyon galing sa akin, kundi sa kaniya na mismo.

"Dude, I'm sorry! Sorry......" she said between her sobs.

"Hindi ko alam na hanggang dito na lang pala ako. Hindi ko ito ginusto........."

"I'm sorry for putting you through this pain. You don't deserve this... You don't deserve me."

Kahit na galit at nasasaktan ako ngayon, mas pinili kong abutin ang nakahiga niyang katawan at yakapin siya, kasabay ng pagbagsak ng luha sa aming mga mata.

"Sorry..... I'm so sorry that it has to end like this."
"I really didn't mean it.... Even I didn't expect us to end like this." She said as she cried, while holding me in her arms.

Kahit naman ako, ayoko siyang mawala.

Siya na lang ang mayroon ako.

"Pero... Wala naman tayong magagawa, di ba?" Binitawan niya ako at pinaharap sa kaniya. I shaked my head as an answer, and she hold my face with both of her hands.
