Chapter 37: Leaving

Devinna Illiana

Nararamdaman kong sobrang nanghihina na ang katawan ko. It's no longer responding to any treatments for about a month now. I'm really scared but I know this is the best way to end the pain as well.

"You can stay, anak."tita Margaux convinced me crying a day before the flight.

"Tita, I'll be fine. I just want to spend my last breath in the place where my parents spent theirs."I explained to her.

"Then, let us come there with you at least—"

"Tita, stop worrying about me. I know you're going through something in the company that demands yours and tito's time. The nurse is enough and Troy will be coming with me."I reassured her.

Napahagulhol si tita nang yakapin na niya ako. God knows how grateful I am for having her. I woke up in this world not able to see my mother's eyes and my father's smile, but I grew up seeing theirs. I have lost mom and dad when I was young but I still have parents. I have a family and a home.

"Zane is also coming, Troy told me."she muttered after calming down.

"Yes. He is a very good man, tita. I don't know why he has to choose me after everything."

"Sweetheart, he loves you. Love overcomes a thousand reasons of why's."

Tumulo ang luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilan. Ibig sabihin, hindi nga talaga ako mahal ni Nix. Hindi na talaga siya nagpakita sa'kin, hindi na nagparamdam.

"You didn't tell me, Yana, but I know everything. Masakit, kahit ako, sobra akong nasaktan ng malaman ko ang kwento. But don't ever think that he never loves you. He was hurt. He's pained because he's helpless. Ganyang-ganyan ang daddy mo noon sa mommy mo. Nagulat na nga lang kami ng tito Milo mo. Sumulpot nalang bigla si Isaiah no'n at nagpropose kay Divine."kwento niyang nagpangiti sa'kin.

I already heard their story, my parents' story. What's funny is daddy also left mom a year after the wedding. Pinagbubuntis na ako ni mommy no'n nang maaksidente ang daddy. Life is always a cruel foe. Fate is a terrible clown. Time is always an unfair enemy.

"Thank you, God."I whispered after waking up to a beautiful sunshine.

Today is my flight back to America. Everything seemed good... or so I thought. After I have taken a bath, I saw Miracle sitting on my bed.

"Girlfriend, you're so early."nakangiting bungad ko sa kanya.

"Can you just stay, please?"she replied directly with tears at the brink of falling from her eyes.

Tumabi ako sa kanya at kinuha ang mga kamay niya.

"Ira, I want to spend my last days there because mom and dad spent theirs there as well. I want to be home."I explained but she shook her head. "Ira, I will be fine. Promise me, you will always be happy... and stay kind... and forgiving."

She sobbed loudly so I embraced her tightly. Sumama si Miracle para ihatid kami sa airport. Hindi niya binitiwan 'yong kamay ko mula sa bahay hanggang sa makarating kami. Her sweetness is back. She was exactly like this when I first met her. She was this sweet when she's in love with Troy.

"I love you, Dev."she whispered while she leaned her head on my shoulder.

"I love you more clingy girlfriend. Ba't di mo sinama si Sven?"I asked to start a conversation. Kanina pa kasi siya tahimik.

"His parents called. Pinauwi siya sa kanila."

"Have you met his parents?"I asked out of curiousity.
