Deanna.Jema is just listening to me. Ang tahimik naman nya masyado. Hindi ko alam ang nararamdaman nya sa mga sinasabi ko.
I hope I can convey myself more para maintindihan nya ang gusto kong iparating sa kanya.
Hindi kasi ako marunong mag express ng feelings in words kaya nahihirapan ako. Buti nga hindi kami magkaharap ngayon kundi walang lalabas na salita sa akin.
I looked at her quickly. Her face is emotionless. Poker face ang baby ko. Looks like she's not satisfied sa mga sinabi ko.
But I'm not finished yet.
"What I mean is that, I'm here for real. Hindi kagaya dati na temporary lang. Dito na ako magtatrabaho and hopefully settle down na rin."
"Di ba I asked for a second chance with you? I mean it. Sana pagbigyan mo ako na ipakita sayo kung gano ka kahalaga sa akin."
"I want to know more about you. I want to know your likes and dislikes. What makes you happy and excited. What makes you cry and sad."
I laughed after saying that. Yung tawang walang saya.
"Of course alam ko what makes you cry and sad. You don't like it when people ignore you di ba? Lalo kung hindi mo alam ang reason at all. I've learned that after hearing your voicemails."
"You might find it hard to believe but I only listened to it after our encounter at Rebisco party. Dun ko lang nalaman how you really felt about me. How you tried to get in touch with me. Yung haba ng patience mo sa akin. Yung pag aalala mo sa akin kahit na ini-ignore kita."
"I cried nung narinig ko yung last message mo. I have no idea na birthday mo pala nung time na yun. Kung alam ko lang, I would have stayed with you from midnight up to the following day. "
"Buti na lang you have a very good best friend, si Kris. Buti rin na nandun si Bea sa tabi mo, to cheer you up. That's why ganun na lang ang galit ni Kris sa akin nung bumalik ako sa office para mag turn over sayo."
"I told her to say sorry to you pero dapat daw ako ang magsabi nun sayo. Ngayon ko na realized na tama pala sya. I was a coward nung mga panahon na yun."
Medyo nagiging emotional ako kaya tumigil at huminga muna ako ng malalim.
May gusto kasi akong sabihin sa kanya.
Kaya mo yan Deanna.
"Belated happy birthday Jema." sabay tingin ko sa kanya.
Shit, she's wiping her tears.
May nakita akong gasoline station na malapit kaya nag decide ako na mag stop over muna doon.
I unbuckled my seatbelt and humarap sa kanya. Pinupunasan pa nya yung mga luha nya. I grabbed her left hand pero binawi nya ito kaya hinayaan ko na lang.
"Please don't cry."
Wala tahimik lang sya at ayaw nyang tumingin sa akin. Nakatanaw lang sya sa bintana.
"Alam ko malaki ang atraso ko sayo but I can't turn back the time. Akala ko nakatulong pareho sa atin yung pag iwas ko. Well, I was right and wrong at the same time."
"Right dahil nalaman ko yung tunay na kulay ni Elaine. Wrong dahil nasaktan kita in the process."
"Para malinaw sayo, I was the one who broke up with Elaine. She cheated on me with her ex boyfriend, how ironic is that huh. Siguro nakarma ako sa ginawa ko sayo."
"Baka isipin mo rin na ikaw ang gagawin kong rebound. No, I will not do that to you Jema."
"If given a chance, I want you to know me also kung gusto mo, yung totoong Deanna. Alam ko masyadong happy go lucky ang image ko dahil lagi akong nagbibiro at lagi kitang inaasar. I want to erase whatever negative or bad image you have on me."
"Pero hindi ako perfect na tao. I can't promise you na lagi akong tama. Na hindi ako magkakamali, na hindi kita masasaktan. Kung mangyayari man yun, siguro dahil hindi ko hawak ang sitwasyon."
Ayan, nasabi ko na halos lahat ng nasa dibdib ko.
I hold her face para tumingin sya sa akin.
Habang nakatingin kami sa isa't isa, I heartily told her;
"We might have started on the wrong way but I want to end it the right way."
