Chapter 39: Choice

Blaze

Three hours have already passed since Rylai has fallen asleep. I was holding her hand while I watched her in her sound sleep. My heart now's starting to ache when I accidentally glanced at the clock on the table. Morning's coming near and everything's going to be gone.

"Rylai. Hanggang ngayon, sa tuwing naaalala ko ang unang pagkikita natin, napapangiti parin ako. It was one of the happiest days of my life. I'll bring those memories with me wherever fate may take me."

Matapos ko siyang hagkan sa noo, napatitig ako sa kabuoan ng magandang mukha niya. Hindi ko kailanman iwawaglit sa puso't isipan ko ang mukhang 'to. Never will I forget that beauty. Her eyes, light brown and are like hazel, which if you stare into will take you to another dimension. Those curly and long eyelashes, nearly touching her cheeks as she closes her eyes, are screaming perfection. Her lips; my most favorite among every musical instruments, utter words like a soothing music.

"I will never forget you, my only one. As much as I want to wish you'd do the same, I'd prefer you to forget me because... I'm not the man who can give you the lifetime you deserve."nanghihinang bulong ko sa kanya matapos maisuot ang kwentas sa leeg niya.

It was the same family heirloom she's returned to me. It's meant for her. It belonged to her perfectly.

Sana tumigil nalang sa paghinto ang oras nang sa gano'n ay hindi na sasapit pa ang umaga. Let this be frozen for a lifetime, please. I want to hold her hands; I want to watch her face; I want to be with her... forever.

But just as I wished those things, fate immediately reminded me that forever is not a word it can grant me with the woman I love. Seeing Crystal's name on the screen of my phone, I found the need to let go of Rylai's hand.

"You never fail to amaze me, Blaze. Tss. Don't tell me I didn't warn you."she said on the other end.

"Crystal, magkita tayo. Wala siyang kinalaman rito, okay?"natatakot na sagot ko.

"Sure. You exactly know where to see me."

Pinupunit 'yong puso ko habang nililingon ko si Rylai na mahimbing na natutulog sa kama ko. Ho! Ang sikip ng dibdib ko. For one last time, I held her in my arms and kissed her on the forehead . Hindi ko na napigilan ang luhang pumatak mula sa mga mata ko habang naiisip kong ito na ang huling makikita ko siya.

"Mahal na mahal kita, penguin. Mahal na mahal kita."

Nilakasan ko ang loob kong umalis. Nang nasa doorway na ako, nilingon ko siya at tinitigan sa huling pagkakataon.

"Paalam, Rylai."

Immediately, I sent Ashton a message before I eventually got out of my unit. I placed the phone on the couch while I took some important stuff with me.

To: Ashton

Bro, please take her away. Pinahanda ko na ang plane na sasakyan niyo. Alagaan mo siya, bro. Please stay with her, no matter what happens.

I trust him. I know that my bestfriend will take care of her. Everything will be worth the pain. Matapos makuha sa rack 'yong leather jacket ko, umalis na kaagad ako't iniwan na naman ng walang kamalay-malay ang babaeng mahal ko.

"'Nak. Kumusta si Rylai nang ihatid mo kagabi?"salubong ni mommy pagdating ko ng bahay.

"She's fine mom. I know she'll be fine. Matapang 'yon eh."nakangiting sagot ko.
