Imagine If

"You disgusting shit Alexane" I said as I look at her with disgust.

"So ganyan ka na pala bumati sa akin? Galit ka ba sa akin BABE?" She said emphasizing that word.

"I never thought that you'll do this! I never thought that I even liked someone like you!" I yelled stabbing those words into her but it seems like she doesn't care about it.

"You know, I would have liked you too..." she said and umupo para tignan ako face to face.

"But that pathethic face of yours is enough to discard those feelings I had for you" she said

"Tell me honestly Alexane, why are you doing this? I didn't do anything to you!"

"Because you know something that you shouldn't Eleven. At first I didn't even know anything about you. But that stupid bestfriend of yours ruined everything!" She yelled and that was the first time that I saw her like that.

"Is this about the company again? Alexane naman! That was so long ago! My parents already died and we don't have a company anymore! It doesn't even matter now!"

"IT DOES ELEVEN. It does..." her expression became soft and she looked down as she sat in front of me but her expression changed and her face hardened.

"Your stupid bestfriend has the files that says the negative things my dad did in the past! If the whole world knew about it then we're dead!" Alexane said as if she's about to cry

"Why?" I asked

"Did you seriously just ask that?! Mawawalan kami ng investors! Mababankcrupt kami! Makukulong si daddy! Then ano? Ako nalang magisa?" She raged

"You have me. You have us." I said not even believing that i said that

"How can you say that?! After what I did, tatanggapin niyo pa ba ako?!" Sabi niya at halos mamula mula na ang kanyang mata sa kakaiyak

"What did you do?" I asked

"I killed Ocean" sinabi niya na hindi ko gaano maintindihan dahil sa kanyang pagiiyak at nagbago na naman ang ekspresyon ng kanyang mukha.

Mula sa umiiyak na Alexane, ngayon ay wala na siyang emotion at nakatingin lang sa isang sulok.

"Can you say that again?" I asked

"I killed Ocean. Now do you hear me? I killed Ocean! I killed her! What now Eleven!? Would you still accept me?!"

Halos mawala ako sa katinuan ng marinig ko ang sinabi niya. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang magiging reaction ko. Kung iiyak ba ako o magwawala.

Kung malulungkot ba ako o magagalit. Halo halong emotion ang pumasok sa akin at hindi ko na alam kung kakayanin ko pa.

"I killed her! I stabbed Ocean! I fuking skinned her alive! You hear that! Thats the problem! That the fu---"

Pakiramdam ko ay bumabalik sa akin lahat ng alaala ko lahat ng memorya ko na kasama ko si Ocean. Sobrang sakit ng ulo ko at gusto ko man ito hawakan ay nakatali ito.

Bigla nalamang gumalaw ang katawan ko magisa at hindi ko na alam ang nangyayare.

Bigla ko nalamang nakita si Ocean na nakaharap na akin na binubugbog at sinasaksak ni Alexane. Nakita ko si Ocean na binabalatan at naririnig ko ang sigaw niya at ang ngiti na kumurba sa mukha ni Alexane.

"OCEAN!"

"OCEAN!"

"OCEAN!" Paulit ulit kong sigaw ngunit di ko alam kung bakit parang hindi nila ako marinig.

Nagulat na lamang ako nang makita ko si Alexane sa harap ko na kasamang lalaki.

Sinuntok ako nito dahilan na magdilim lahat.
