Her Unexpected Love

Chapter Eleven

Kanina pa tinatawagan ni Reus si Coffee pero ring lang ng ring ang cellphone nito, hindi ito sumasagot.

"Did something happen to her?" He asked himself and pressed the intercom.

"Bea, can you check from Engr. Vasquez where Coffee is?"

"Sir, I think Ma'am Coffee have been here awhile ago dahil may cake na naiwan sa table ko that's intended for you." Sagot nito sa kanya na ikinabigla niya.

Patakbo niyang kinuha ang cake sa sekretarya at napatda sa nakita. It wrote "Happy 1st year anniversary my love".

"Coffee.."

~~~

Dumiretso si Coffee sa apartment niya at nag-empake. Aalis muna siya. Kailangan niyang makapag-isip, ayoko muna siyang harapin. Masyadong masakit. It's even more painful than breaking up with her almost boyfriend Ben.

Pero bago siya umalis, she sent a message to Reus telling him..

"Don't look for me. We're done. Hindi mo na rin kailangang mamili dahil pinapalaya na kita."

Those words just felt like a knife embedded on her chest. Umalis agad siya at pumunta sa paborito niyang pinupuntahan kapag ganoong gusto niyang makapag-isip at iwan ang ingay ng mundo, sa Amorita Resort ng Bohol.

It's a 4-star resort nestled atop a beachside cliff amidst landscaped grounds and gardens. World class ang mga facilities at higit sa lahat nakikita niya ang crystal clear waters, white sand and Panglao sea that's somehow easing the pain in her heart. Beaches always calm her soul.

Nagmumuni-muni siya sa harap ng dagat ng magring ang cellphone niya.
Si Skye ang tumatawag.

"Coffee! Where are you? Pumunta rito si Reus at hinahanap ka." Nag-aalalang sabi ni Skye sa kanya.

"Tell him to get lost." Seryoso niyang sagot dito.

"I just need a time-off Skye. Babalik rin ako. Ayoko muna siyang makita sa ngayon."

"Why? What happened?" Tanong nito sa kanya.

"He cheated on me! I saw him with another girl and they were kissing Skye. They were kissing in his office!" Napahagulgol na siya sa iyak habang kine-kwento rito kanyang nasaksihan.

"Nagka-usap ba kayo matapos ang nangyari? Did you hear his side of the story? Nasaan ka ba at sasamahan kita riyan?"

Her friends words, just made her cry all the more and yes, she needed her friend now kaya sinabi niya kung nasaan siya.

"I'm at my usual place of escape Skye."

Nasa tabi ni Skye si Reus ng sinabi ni Coffee kung nasaan ito.

"I love Coffee, Skye. Trust me, I'm never gonna hurt her ever again. Ayoko siyang mawala sa'kin." Pangako niya dito at umalis agad para puntahan si Coffee sa Bohol.

He saw Coffee na nakaupo sa may dalampasigan, maaaninag ang kalungkutan kahit pa nakatitig sa napakagandang paligid.

He slowly approached her and called out her name softly.

"Coffee." He saw her stiffened and turned towards him.

"What are you doing her Reus? I don't wanna see you at magre-resign na rin ako sa kumpanya mo." She said to him in anger.

"Please let me explain okay? I don't love Elisse anymore. Ikaw na ang mahal ko ngayon. I'm sorry I responded to her kisses but I was just checking my heart para makasigurado ako sa nararamdaman ko."

"Isang taon na tayo Reus, hindi ka pa rin sigurado? Ano to laro-laro lang? Trial and error pagkatapos kung di ka sigurado iiwan mo na ako? Well then ngayon ako naman ang sigurado. Read my lips. TAPOS NA TAYO."
Galit na baling sa kanya ni Coffee.

"Look, I am really sorry. Please, pakinggan mo naman ako. Elisse was my ex-fiancé; iniwan niya ako sa simbahan nung araw ng kasal namin. Yes, she's trying to win me back but I shove her away dahil ikaw ang mahal ko. At sigurado na ako, sa iyo, sa atin. If only you confronted me that day nung makita mo kami, di sana tayo aabot ng ganito. But I am really sorry this happened Babe. Forgive me please. Ayokong mawala ka sa'kin."

"Go away Reus. Ayoko munang makita ka." Kalamado pero galit na saad nito sa kanya.

"Okay, I'll give you time. But know this Coffee. Maghihintay lang ako sa'yo. You know how much I love you, all this time ikaw lang at ipinaramdam ko sa iyo yun. Now, it's your choice, ako naman ang piliin mo and not your pride. I admit I made a mistake, this is a misunderstanding and I completely admit that I've hurt you. I really am sorry but I cannot fight our love kung ako lang, Coffee. Fight with me. Together, we will make it. Just don't give up on us. Maghihintay lang ako." He said softly, mababakas ang lungkot at pait na kanyang nararamdaman.

Walang siyang sagot na narinig mula kay Coffee. Hinayaan na muna niya ang dalaga at umalis na.
