Chasing pavements

Kabanata 14: Unconditionally

"Let go, Xander."

I ran as fast as I could towards my car. Pumasok agad ako ng sasakyan at ni-lock ang pinto.

I took a deep breath before starting the engine. Di ko na hahayaan madala nanaman ako ng damdamin ko.

"Victoria!!! Please let's talk."

I heard him knock on my window. Almost slamming.

"Please, I'm begging."

Parang pinipiga ang puso ko makita syang ganyan. Nagmamakaawa. Pero I have to be strong, for myself.

Tiningnan ko lang sya at saka pinatakbo ang sasakyan. I saw him in the rearview mirror. Sinusubukan nyang habulin ang sasakyan ko. So I stepped on the gas, and eventually he stopped.

My eyes were filled with tears and my heart was again shattered into pieces. Di ko alam kung saan na ako patungo, I just drove and drove. Nang hindi ko na makayanan, I stopped the car and called Nick.

/Andres ---/ Pumiyok pa ko ng nasagot nya na ang tawag

/Victoria? Are you crying?/

/Please fetch me, di ko na kaya./

/Wait, why?? What happen?? Where are you??/ I know he's worried. It was obvious in his voice.

/I don't know. I don't know/

Patuloy lang ako sa pag iyak. Seriously, I was lost. I don't know where I am, and I don't know where to go. Literally and figuratively.

/Open your Waze Victoria. Atleast send me your location thru Waze/

I did as I was told. And when he texted me that he's coming, I transferred at the backseat and laid there with my knees brought up to my chest like a baby in the womb.

Sobbing.

Crying.

"Tanginah lang kasi dapat di na ako umiiyak. Tama na. Bakit pa kasi sya nagpakita."

Hindi ko napigilan nagmura. Kasi ang sakit sakit na.

Then few minutes past I heard a knock on my window. Parang mababasag na sa lakas.

It was Nick.

I hurriedly opened the door and lumabas at yumakap sa kanya. Madiin nya akong yinakap at isinuksok ang ulo ko sa kanyang dibdib at halikan ang ulo ko.

"Oh my gahd, baby. I'm so worried. Akala ko na paano ka na. Kanina pa kita kinakatok. Muntik ko na basagin ang bintana." Sabi nya. Kitang kita ko ang pag aalala sa kanyang mata.

"I'm fine now." Nakatulog pala ako sa kakaiyak. Tiningala ko sya at sya naman ay hinaplos ang pisngi ko.

"Please don't do that again. And please tell me what happen." Giit nya.

"Take me home, Andres. I'm really tired." He nodded. Put me in his car then called someone to pick up my car.

----------

I WOKE UP in room that is not mine. Napabalikwas ako ng bangon at nakitang kakalabas palang ni Nick sa banyo nakatapis lang ng tuwalya.

Nang mapansin nyang gising na ako at nakasandal sa headboard ay agad nga kong nilapitan.

"You're awake. Dito nakita dinala sa unit ko. I hope you don't mind." Sabi nya then he kissed my forehead.

I just smiled at him.

"Karga kita kanina, and when the receptionist told me that someone is waiting at you door. I decided na dito na kita dalhin." I was sure na that someone is Xander, and hindi na ako nagulat dun.

"Baby, its okay if you don't want to tell me anything, yet. If you don't feel like talking, its fine with me. But always remember andito lang ako sa tabi mo." Sabi nya habanh nakatitig sa aking mga mata. I don't understand how someone like him can be so sweet as this. Alam nyang sitwasyon ko. Alam nyang I'm crying because of a man I loved. Yet, handa syang intindihin ako.

"Andres. Why are you like that?" I asked.

"Like what?" Nkatingin sya sakin.

"You know why I'm crying. Yet, anjan ka being patient with me. You always try to understand me and my whims. Puro ka na lang nagbibigay, kahit wala kang nakukuha."

He sighed before answering me.

"When you truly love someone, you love them unconditionally..."
