B l a k eI was already panting when I approached my car. I quickly get in the driver's seat. Buong lakas kong pinaghahampas ang manubela ng sasakyan ko, hoping it will ease my pain. But it didn't.
I was mad. But not at them, I'm mad at myself. I remembered how I act right after I shot her from the back. I just stood there and stared at her blankly while her, was smiling genuinely. Giving me the smile I ever wanted to see. But all I gave her as return is to turned my back at her and didn't look again.
I don't know. I was mad at that time. I was blinded by hatred. She killed my mother. But right after I get the real reasons behind it, I regretted it.
Forgive me, my love.I started my engine and drove it fast. In the middle of the road, nowhere to go, asking myself, do I really deserve this?
Our memories keep flashing back as if I was watching a movie in my head. It was over my head and I'm nothing at all. And I high speed my engine, not minding about authorities might see how speeding up my car is.
I remembered when we first met at the Z's barcode. I was amazed when she suddenly drank all 3 glass of tequila.
"May kailangan ka?"
"W-Wala.. teka babae ka ba?"
"Masyado kang madada."I've never though I will smiling like an idiot rembering that scene in my mind. It was the first time we met, I was feeling embarrassed of what she said but who's I'm fooling around? I already know to myself that I like her.
"X-Xylean..."
"S-Sorry..."
"Kung may problema ka sa'kin, sabihin mo, hindi 'yung iniiwasan mo'ko."I wiped my tears away as I also remembered the first time we argued. I was jealous that time, I was threatened by Jack. That's the first time, I saw her laughed genuinely. I was doing a self-pity because I know to myself that I can'tmake her happy the way Jack can. Lalo na, ex niya pala ang gagong 'yon. What a lucky bastard. But he's more lucky than I thought. He's already married with my cousin, Bianca. Nagbunga din ang katangahan ng pinsan kong 'yon. He's only the exception sa mga binubully ko. Pinipigilan kasi ako lagi ni Bianca. She was always chasing him even if Jack doesn't like her the way she likes him.
"Master Babe."
"Hm?"
"I am now signing off for being your slave.""H-Ha?"
"Dahil simula ngayon... liligawan na kita Xylean, mahal ko."
Napahampas ako sa manubela nang maalala ko 'yon. I remembered how I confessed my feelings towards her. I was happy and contented when she let me to court her. It was the best feeling of my life though.
I stopped my car as I get out and ran as fast as I could, approaching the fresh air to my skin. I smiled as I heard a wonderful sound coming from the sea. I break down as I looked to the heavens, kneeling down, screaming in pain. Hoping that I'll see her. I just screamed and cried all over again, still mourning for her and to my broken heart.
"Xylean.."
"Blake.."
"Xylean Xin Lee, let's stop now.""How can I forget you, if our memories are still hunting me?" I asked, hoping she'll answer. I am already losing myself, because of the memories that keeps flashing back.
Nilabas ko ang dinala kong picture naming dalawa. I was supposed to let her see this when I get to see her. But I didn't, instead of getting to see her, I saw her coldly grave. I remembered how we last talked, the moment she shield herself to take the bullet for her father, that scene before she left me.
"Ama sa ama, Anak sa anak, Xylean. Pero ngayon? Mukhang Ama sa anak tayo ngayon."
"Nagkakamali ka Blake. Dahil hindi ko hahayaan 'yon."
"Paalam."
BANG!
"Xylean.. I can't take this anymore. How I suppose to live when you're not here?" I sobbed, looking at the white sand.
Natigilan ako as soon as I felt a warm hug from my back. I was a bit shocked and I want to turned around to check who's hugging me but I'm afraid to know. I just want to feel that it's her. But when I looked at the person who's hugging me, I was more shocked that It was Casey. Jack's cousin.
"Tama na Blake! Nandito na'ko.. Stop it! I can be your Xylean! Just please, wag mo ng pahirapan ang sarili mo!" She cried, still hugging me tightly.
In the first, I really don't know what to react. I only stared at her like I was capturing every part of her beautiful face. Wala sa sariling napayakap pabalik.
"Sshh.." A part of me, don't want to see her cry because of me. I bet she's a bit shocked because of what I did. I just realized, I slowly letting our picture go as I accepting the fact that we're done. My friends are right. It's been 10 years now and I should stop from now on.
