LUIGI'S POV

"Luna?"

Tumakbo ako palabas ng hotel at pinuntahan sya doon.

Mabilis kong hinablot ang unang lalaking naabot ng kamay ko sabay tadyak sa tyan nya.

"L-Luigi?"

Hindi ko muna pinansin si Luna.

Sumugod pa yung dalawa. Sumuntok ang isa sa kanan, umilag ako at mabilis na nagpakawala ng upper cut at tinadyakan sa dibdib ang isa pa.

Nagtatakbo silang tatlo, natakot siguro.

Agad kong nilapitan si Luna.

Yakap-yakap nya ang tuhod nya at umiiyak.

"Luna? Are you okay?"

Hinawakan ko ang mukha nya para tingnan sya.

Sana pala hindi ko na lang ginawa.

Punong-puno ang mga mata nya ng takot.

Umiiyak sya at nanginginig ang mga labi.

Agad ko syang niyakap.

I surely gave her my comfort.

But suddenly...

A flashback murmur at my ear.

She deceive me.

Hindi!

Dapat ay hindi ko sya niyakap. Niloko nya ko.

Pero..

Hindi ko rin kayang mapanood sya na muntikan nang ma-rape.

Ilang minuto din kaming ganun. Hanggang sa nakaramdam ata sya ng pag-kailang at kusa nang kumalas sa pagkakayakap sakin.

Naupo ako sa harap nya.

Nakatitig sa mukha nyang nakatungo.

"W-Where had you been, Luna?" I started.

"I'm sorry, L-Luigi. I'm sorry." She murmur.

"I-I waited for your explanation for this past 2 weeks and yet you never shown up."

She faced me. Curiosity is written all over her beautiful face.

"H-How can I f-face you,  if...if I deceived you?"

I look away. Avoiding her gaze and look at a nipa hut.

"You know what, I am very very disappointed on you. I thought you are a trustworthy person, I-I can't believe that you d-did that."

"Luigi, I---"

"I know you had your reason. I am afraid that same thing in the past might happen again."

I bow my head and play the sand with my hand.

"That's why I never shown up. Now, please... I'm begging... Curse me..cuss me if you want...better kill me now, Luigi. I'm tired...I'm tired of my life!"

Then her tears started to fall again.

"Gusto ko sanang gawin yun sayo...but you know I can't. I can't do it on you and I don't know the reason why."

I heard her gasp before holding my hand.

I look at her, straight on her eyes .

"Please be mad at me." She beg

Agad ko syang hinatak at niyakap.

Hindi ko alam ang nangyayari pero malaking bahagi ng katawan ko, gustong gawin ito.
