Chapter 10: Someone's Always Saying Goodbye

Hindi mapigilan ni Dale ang mapaluha habang sakay ng taxi pauwi sa kanila. She just rejected Edward's proposal. Hindi dahil sa hindi niya ito mahal..

Ang totoo, kaya niya hindi tinanggap ang proposal nito was because she loves him so much, she's willing to sacrifice her feelings para sa kapakanan nito.

She remembered his reaction ng tanggihan niya ito kanina...

Edward's face went pale ng marahang umiling si Dale habang umiiyak. He reached for her hands and hold it so tight.

"I-I'm so sorry Ed..." sa humihikbing tinig ay marahang sabi ni Dale habang naka yuko.

"It's ok Baby. I'm willing to wait. Hindi kita minamadali." agap ng binata though he felt a bit disappointed sa nakikitang reaksiyon ng dalaga.

"No. You don't understand Edward." humihikbi paring sabi ng dalaga na tiningnan siya sa mukha bago idinagdag. "I don't want you to wait kasi wala kang hihintayin." sabi ng dalaga na patuloy ang pagbuhos ng luha sa mga mata.

Their friends were all in shock sa naging pagtugon ni Dale sa pagtatapat ni Edward. They were all expecting na sa gabing iyon ay magiging opisyal ang relasyon ng dalawa, ngunit kabaliktaran ang nangyayari. Ellyze's face was full of questions dahil alam niya ang totoong damdamin ni Mary Dale kay Edward. But why the heck is she rejecting him now?!

"I don't understand what's happening." bulong niya sa nobyo na napapatunganga din sa nagaganap.

"Me neither." ganting bulong nito.

"W-what do you mean?" narinig nilang tanong ni Edward sa kinakabahang tinig.

"I-i...can't tell you now." muli ay napayuko ang dalaga. "Please Ed, don't hate me." matapos ang salitang iyon ay dali daling tumalikod and dalaga sabay patakbong tinungo ang entrance door at lumabas.

Pinara niya ang taxi na unang nagdaan bago dali daling pumasok doon. She saw Edward and their friends na palabas din ng Restobar uoang habulin siya kaya dali daling sinabi niya sa taxi driver kung saan magpapahatid. Nang lingunin niya ang mga ito, she saw how hurt Edward was. Mababakas iyon sa buong mukha nito.

At muli.. Napaluha ang dalaga...

(Why do people fall in love
And then end up crying
Why do lovers walk away from themselves
When their hearts are breaking...

Sa naririnig na kanta mula sa stereo ng taxi ay higit na napaluha ang dalaga..

Why does loving sometimes never stay long
Why does kissing this time mean you'll be gone
Why does gladness become sadness
Things that I don't get....

Someones always saying goodbye
I believe it hurts when we cry
Don't we know parting's never so easy
And with all the achings inside
I believe some hearts will survive
Tryin' hard to pretend that we're gonna be fine..

"I really hope everything's gonna be fine." tahimik na hiling ng dalaga habang lumuluhang nakatingin sa labas ng bintana taxi.

I could never really love someone else but you..

(No one else but you)

I have never wanted anything else
But a love so true..
But just like a dream that comes in the night..
In the morning you were out of my sight
Turned away from me, sadly as I see
Away from where I stand..
