Nathannelle's POV

Throughout her whole story I can feel the misery, sadness, grief, resentment and defeat. It's like she was drained out from exhaustion. Tired of thinking about that painful past, tired of always getting hurt, and exhausted of feeling grudge towards other people. Can I blame her for being like that? 

NO!

Because I know how hard it is. I know how hard to fight for your life and battling against yourself. I know up until now she's still struggling to move on and holding on for dear life to survive and not giving up. Still giving her best to stay upright and not crumple on the ground. She's still holding the steering wheel of her life maneuvering in the middle of nowhere.

The lady in front of me now is someone that is strong  and has a brave heart. Yes, she's miserable but contented with what she have now and grateful for those few people who stayed by her side. Thankful for them not leaving her feeling empty, hungry and thirsty in searching for an oasis, her freedom, in the middle of  a desert.

"and now, we're here. I hope this would be our last stop. I'm tired of always running away." she said, finishing her story. Until now she's staying strong, even though I know that she's holding back tears. 

"well, this is the time where you have to say something." she said when she realizes I am not saying something.

Honestly, I'm speechless.

I don't know what to say.Well instead of speaking I held her close to me. I hugged her to bring comfort from all those painful memories. Action speaks louder than words, right?

She's so brave yet so delicate.She is so fragile that I think any minute from now she might break into pieces. But, she doesn't need to worry because even if she fall many times I'll always be here to catch her. Even if she breaks a million times I will always be here to bring her back into whole again.

Angry is an understatement of what i am feeling right now. I am mad, very mad to those people who caused pain to Yza. they are the reason of why the beautiful, cheerful and chubby sweet cheeks that I have met before is already gone. Maybe she's still there but is buried deep down in the very corner of her self and maybe drowning in misery and sadness.  Waiting for someone to rescue her before she finally get drowned and never come up for air again. I wont let that happen to her. I want to be that someone who will save her and bring back the shine in her eyes, and the sweet smile on her lips.

I wanted to tell her that everything will be fine. I want to reassure her that whatever that's happening will always have an end but I can't, because reality doesn't work like that. Sure, it will be fine in the first minute and problems are being solved but in the next minute, life throws another challenge for you. Because that's life, it will make you feel happy for a short moment but makes you feel helpless all the time.

Instead.,

"I'm here for you, well, maybe not all the time but always remember that you can count on me even in the smallest things, okay?" I want that statement to be a promise but I cant say it like that. I don't want to say or do things that I cant really keep. She's been hurt enough and I don't want her to get hurt because of me. Promises makes other person to hope, to hold on for you, to have an expectation that you would really keep it. Promises makes the other person get hurt in the end because you crumple her hope, you let go of that promise where she's holding to that you can't really keep it. I would never forgive myself for that. I might hurt someone or somebody but not her. I have longed and waited for her for a long time and I do not want her to disappear on my sight again, not even in my life.

Maybe she's at loss for words that she only nodded.

rrrrrrrllkfj

whats that sound?

grrrruuummmm

I listen intently to where that sound was coming.....

grrrrrrr

And you will not believe if I say that its from....

Yzabelle.

Yes, from the growling stomach of Yza. I watched her , I watched how her soft cheeks turn pink from blushing and its kinda cute..

"uhm, sorry for that, lunch na kasi eh. Kanina pa kasi tayo nagdadrama dito eh. Nakakabusog ba'to?" biro niya while fixing herself. "Tara kain na tayo."

"Tara, libre ko ngayon." aya ko sa kanya .

She smiled, "Sabi mo yan ah?"

And we walked side by side for lunch and we know to each other that we have stepped up our friendship..... for now... but one step at a time, I will get you back my little old friend Yzabelle.
