The Moment I Gave Up
"Just wait for me outside.." sabi ni Alex bago tuluyang pumasok sa President's Office.
Pagkatapos kumalat ng video ko sa buong Kaisei ay pinatawag si Mama ng school. At dahil nga sa na-confine pa si Mama ay kinapalan ko na lang ang mukha ko at kinausap si Alex tungkol dito.
Ako na nga 'yung naki-usap sa kanya ay nakuha ko pang mag-demand sa kanya na wag niya na akong tanungin pa sa buong pangyayari tungkol sa video. At mabuti na lang at hindi na niya ako kinontra pa dahil wala na talaga akong lakas na makipag-sagutan pa sa kanya. Sobrang pagod na pagod na ako.
Naglakad ako kung san kami laging nagkikita ni Scotch. And I thought going there would make me feel more relax. Kasi dati, nare-relax naman ako kapag pumupunta ako dito. Pero nung nakita ko ang naka-ukit sa puno ang pangalan naming dalawa, mas lalong bumigat 'yung pakiramdam ko.
I touched the carved names in the tree. When he suddenly called my name. "Aiah.."
Agad akong nag-kuyom ng aking kamay at binaba 'to. "I can fix this mess. Please.. Just hang in there. Gagawan ko ng paraan. I promise." he desperately said.
"Where did things go so wrong for us Gin?"
He took a step forward to me as I step backward from him. He tried to touch me but I shove him away. "Please Aiah.."
"Nasagot na rin sa wakas kung ba't mo ko iniwan.. For this. Should I say thank you to you? Pasensya na ha, kung napahiya ka ng dahil sa 'kin. Okay lang naman, if mag-deny ka na naging tayo. I can even say that to each one of them.."
"Aiah, it's not like that. Gusto kong protektahan ka.."
"To protect me?" I scoffed. "E ba't luhaan ako ngayon? Ba't ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko? Is this the feeling of being protected? Cause if it is, then I don't want anyone to protect me at all.."
"Hindi mo kasi naiintindihan.." he uttered frustrately.
I chuckled painfully. "I've seen enough.."
"Aiah?" tawag sa akin ni Alex. I was about to walk when he took a grip of my wrist.
"Aiah please.. Let's talk this out."
"Goodbye Gin." as I removed his hand.
