Chapter 55 - The last day

Vice

I was staring at the blank sky as I breathed in slowly and breathed out heavily. I am lying in the green grass when a cold breeze comforted me.

Suddenly it rained. I closed my eyes as I felt the heavy drops in my face. I just let it drop on me as I did not budge a muscle. Then it stopped. I thought it stopped. But someone stopped it.

She's holding an umbrella above me.

"let's get inside."

What for? I thought. "No."

"Vice, magkaka lagnat ka nyan."

"it doesn't matter."

"well, it matters for me." She threw the umbrella away and sat beside me. "let's catch a cold together then."

"why are you doing this, K?" I looked at her with arched brows. "why are you feeding me fantasies when you're gonna leave me anyway?"

"Vice, that's not what I meant"

"yes it is!" I stood up this time. "All these time it's all a fantasy. This is a fantasy we created. You and me, being together, having a bucketlist, thinking we would have a happy ending,"

I stared blankly at her. "and now I can't live without it. I don't know how to live without it."

"and you--- you keep telling me that it's okay, that everything's gonna be fine as long as I live my life to the fullest."

"WELL IT'S NOT OKAY. I AM IN PAIN. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS WHOLE SITUATION AND THAT'S FAR FROM OKAY."

I hurriedly went back inside not looking back.

Karylle

This is all my fault. I totally broke him and It pains me that there's nothing I can do about it. Or maybe there is something I could've done and I just didn't do it. I could've chosen him but I didn't. I could've said no to the offer but I didn't.

Gosh, this is so messed up. I picked myself up. I totally forgot It is raining. I was approaching the lake house when he went back out.

I looked at him as he was approaching me.

"Vice,"

"Karylle,"

At nagsabay pa talaga kami.

"ano yun?" I asked.

"I really love you." He paused. We are both soaked in the rain. "and I don't want this fantasy to end."

"me too."

"so what now?"

"if this is a fantasy, then let's make the most out of it."

PRESENT DAY

"K?" vice was currently in Karylle's lap under a tree.

"yes?" Karylle was combing his hair with her fingers.

"that night, we said we should make the most out of our fantasy—and now it's Monday,"

"that means our fantasy Is over."

Karylle fell silent.

"it's okay. You can say it now. I won't pretend this is rainbows anymore." Vice said slowly. He held Karylle's hand tightly with both hands as tears fall down his cheeks.
