His last dance

❝His last dance❞

“T*ngina Ivan! Give me back my bag! You jerk!”Ivan laughed his ass out as he runs around the field.

“Bilisan mo baby!”Galit na hinabol sya ni seera.

Seera is his crush since grade school, wala syang ibang nagustuhan kundi ang dalaga.

Yet, he can't court her. He doesn't have any courage to do that kaya binu-bully nalang nya ang dalaga.

“Stop calling me baby!”

“Baby.. Come on—”Napatigil si ivan ng maramdamang sumikip ang dibdib niya.

Napaupo sya sa field habang hawak ang dibdib.

“I hate you! Bully ka bully!”Napapikit sya, ilang segundo lang bumalik na sa normal ang tibok ng puso niya.

“Ang sarap mo kasi asarin.”She rolls her eyes sabay sapak sa balikat niya.

“Ma mi-miss mo din ako pag nawala ako see.”Nawala ang ngiti ni Ivan.

“Hindi kita ma mi miss mas mabuti pa ngang wala ka.”He tried laughing but deep inside he felt his heart was stabbed.

“Ouch naman baby.”He tried to joke.

“Don't call me baby dahil hindi mo ako baby!”Asar na umalis ito.

“Way to go ivan.”he chuckled bitterly.

Weeks pass seera noticed that Ivan had been skipping class at minsan ay absent ito ng ilang araw.

Sa room ay palagi itong tulog at halatang pagod na pagod, hindi na rin sya nito inaasar katulad ng dati.

“Hoy Ivan umamin ka nga may nagugustuhan kang iba no!?”Ngumiti ito sa kanya.

“selos ka baby?”She rolls her eyes at him.

“Hindi ah! Dyan ka na nga!”She was about to go when Ivan held her hand.

“Wala akong iba see.”She turned to face him, and he was smiling genuinely.

“C-can I invite you to prom? Please? Last request ko sayo baka kasi hindi mo na ako makita see.”

“Magiging free from Ivan ka na.”Her laughter is obviously fake.

“A-ano namang pake ko kung aalis ka pero sige ikaw ang date ko sa prom.”He hugged her tenderly.

Sinundo sya ni Ivan at sabay silang pumunta sa prom.

They were welcome by the music. Ivan was being a gentleman towards her napaka formal nito kaya nagtaka sya.

Minsan naman ay nahuhuli niya itong malungkot na nakatitig sa kanya.

[N/P: Can I have this dance]

“Can I dance with you?”Ivan offers his hand, She was stunned for a second before accepting his hand.

Ivan guided her to the middle of the dance floor.

“Ang ganda mo seera.”She blushed.

“Thank you.”

Ivan chuckled.“Sana hindi mo ako makalimutan kahit magka pamilya ka na.”

“Simula bukas wala ng Ivan na mang-aasar at tatawag sayong baby.”

“Magiging free from Ivan the jerk ka na seera..”He tried faking a laugh.

“Ivan what's wrong?”Napatingin sya sa mata ni Ivan, he was crying.

“Yun ang gust mo diba? Me gone from your life.. Natupad ata ang hiling mo see.”He was looking at her with sadness in his eyes.

He suddenly hugged her tightly while crying like a child on her shoulders.

“See, Natatakot akong mawala I'm not ready... Hindi pa kita naliligawan ng maayos.. Hindi pa kita napapasyal sa gusto mong lugar.”Seera didn't know how to react.

She was confuse.

“Ivan ano bang problema? Shhh tahan na.”She rubbed Ivan's back.

“I'm not ready to go see, gusto ko pa magkapamilya kasama ka.”Umalis ito sa pagkakayakap sa kanya.

He cupped her face.“Mahina na ang puso ko see, The doctor said wala ng chance kapag inoperahan ako walang kasiguraduhan.”

“V-van..”She wants to cry.

“Be with me for the whole week na tinagal sakin baby please?”She nodded, stopping herself from crying.

He hugged her tightly again, not wanting to end the moment.

“Ivan! Come here! May lakad pa tayo diba?”She glared at her 5 year old son.

“Okay mom, san ba tayo pupunta?”She smiled.

“It's your daddy's 6th death anniversary son.”Evertime she looks at her son. She can see a replica of Ivan matsunaga.
