Hate To Marry You (Completed)

Chapter 27 The Compromise

Jade's POV

"Let's end this marriage." Apat na kataga lang ang sinabi ni Zion sa akin. However, these words weighed like a ton. It's dragging me down, crushing the little hope that I have. My knees were wobbly and my legs were shaking. My eyes were blurry as I was holding back my tears. Mahirap itago ang emosyon, ang tunay na nararamdaman. Ayokong makita ni Zion na mahina ako. Gusto kong makita niya na matatag ako at hindi nagpapaapekto sa mga pangyayari. Ayokong sumusuko sa pagmamahal ko sa kanya. We still have all the chance in this world.

"Zion, I thought all your asking for me was to give you space in this marriage. I can give you the space that you need but do not file for divorce. I love you and my life would be nothing without you." Ang matapang kong sagot sa kanya. I looked deeply into his eyes. Afraid to blink, so my tears won't fall. Mahirap kontrolin ang emosyon pero sinusubukan kong huwag pumikit at kinokontrol ko rin ang boses ko upang huwag pumiyok. Pero kahit na anong gawin ko, pilit na may namumuong luha sa aking mga mata. I could feel it forming in my eyes. It was so blurry with my tears.

"I was thinking about that but it seemed like that will not work for us. It will remain the same, we are lacking the trust for each other and ended up hurting each other. Giving each other the space that we need will not be the answer to our problem." Ang paliwanag pa nito sabay suklay ng mga kamay sa kanyang buhok at buntong hininga.

It seemed like he is already determined to end up this marriage. I am so hurt, my heart felt so numb with pain. We have come this far, I will never give up. "Please Zion, don't leave me. We can make it this time. I promise you. I will be more honest with you with all my fears and insecurities." I said those words begging my voice now quivering. I ran to him and hugged him tight as if I don't want to let him go. Crying on his chest so badly, I can't anymore control my emotions. This time, hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili. Dala ng emosyon. Umiyak ako ng umiyak habang nakayakap kay Zion.

Tumikhim ito. He never even hugged me back. "You are not making it easier for us. I am hurt to see you like this but I don't want you to cry. You know that I love you but staying in this marriage will not give us a lesson. To hurt you is not my intention. All I want is for us to make things right. Nag umpisa tayo sa maling rason. Kaya wala tayong tiwala sa isa't isa." Ang paliwanag pa nito ngunit parang wala akong may narinig.

Masakit isipin na gusto na nitong makipaghiwalay sa akin. Ayaw na nitong bigyan ng pagkakataon ang kasal namin. Alam ko na, wala namang rason kung bakit gusto niyang makipag hiwalay. "May iba ka na bang gusto kaya mo ako iiwan? Pwede ko namang pantayan at punuin kung saan ako nagkulang. Kaya ko lang nagawa ang lahat ng yun dahil mahal kita." Ang tanong ko pa kay Zion. Masakit malaman pero kung yun ang totoo ay pilit kong tatanggapin. Dahil base sa mga pinapakita at sinasabi ni Sherry, mayroon silang nararamdaman sa isa't isa. Palagi din silang magkasama lalo na iisa lang ang pinagtatrabahuhan nila.

He held my face with his hands. His hands were warm touching, caressing my face. He looked at me deeply. "Walang ibang nag mamay ari ng puso ko kundi ikaw lang. Wala akong may ibang hangad kundi magkaroon ng pamilya sayo, ikaw, ako at sanang pinapangarap kong anak." Ang sabi pa ni Zion sa akin habang ako naman ay walang tigil na tumutulo na ang mga luha. I was kissing his hands.

I swallowed back and tried to hold back my tears from continuously falling. Pero hindi ko kaya. I ended up sobbing on his hands. "Sherry is giving me the impression that there is something going on between the two of you. Kaya naiisip ko kung siya ba ang dahilan na gusto mo na akong hiwalayan." Ang sabi ko pa ditong pilit na pinapaamin si Zion sa relasyon nila ni Sherry. Lahat ng ito ay dahil sa insecurity ko kay Sherry. I am so stupid to feel this way.

Zion led me to sit at the sofa in the room. "Sherry and I were here to attend a seminar. Weekend at gabi na kami nakarating ng US kung kaya't wala dito si Mang Jay para ihatid siya sa bahay niya. Kaya nagpalipas muna siya ng gabi dito." Ang paliwanag pa ni Zion. "Maybe you don't know yet but I have decided to stay here in the US. In that way, malayo ako kay Sherry at hindi ka na magduda pa. Hindi pa alam ni Sherry ang pag alis ko ng kompanya sa Pinas. Si Chase na lang muna ang mamahala ng negosyo doon. Dito na lang muna ako sa US. Marami pa rin naman akong dapat asikasuhin dito." Ang paliwanag pa ni Zion sa akin. I know he was telling the truth as he said those words looking at me deeply.
