Paano Ba Kiligin Ang Lalaki?

The Flashback.

Chapter 4

 

 His POV

*Flashback: 1 year ago*

"Are you sure you want to do this?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"No. But I need to do this." sagot niya sa akin.

"No. Don't leave me here. Let me help you. Please. Ayokong mawala ka sa akin."

"I'm going and it's final. I don't want to do this either. But I really need to." halos maiyak na niyang sabi.

I don't want to see her like this. *sigh*

"Okay. If it's gonna help you. I'll. I-i'll.... 

I'll let you go." I'm trying to stop my tears from falling. But... My eyes failed me.

"Okay. I-i'll miss you.  P-please don't cry. Babalik pa naman ako eh. I promise you. " she said as she wipe my tears.

"Promise mo yan ah! :)" I tried to sound okay para hindi siya umiyak. Namumuo na kasi yung luha niya sa mata.

Tama na yung pag-iyak niya ng matagal na panahon. I can't see her like this. She's special to me.

"I promise :) Pag-balik ko dito... Okay na ako."

"Promise mo yan ha? I can't see you like that anymore."

"I'm sorry kung maiiwan kita dito. :("

"It's okay... Just... Be happy. I want to see you the way you used before, hyper :)"

"I will. Bye." she said as she walked away.

Away from me.

Sana okay na siya.

"Bro, you okay?" tanong sa akin ni Ced.

"Ha?" yun lang ang naisagot ko since di ko naman naintindihan yung sinabi niya.

"Nakatulala ka nanaman." sabi ni Axcel.

"Wala. I just remembered something." sabi ko nang nakangiti.

"Something? Or SOMEONE?" sabi ni Matthew na tila nababasa ang iniisip ko.

I just smiled as an answer.
