CHAPTER 24

Let's Start Over Again

Marie Lyssa Point of View

After I remember those nightmares. I can't sleep properly since then. Hindi ako napapalagay. Paranoid ako sa lahat ng bagay kahit mahina at kaunting kaluskos lang pumipiksi na ako.

Hindi naman ako ganito noon. Oo natrauma ako pero hindi umabot sa puntong napaparanoid na ako. Kung anu-ano nalang ang tumatakbo sa isip ko tuwing gabi kapag matutulog na ako.

I don't know what is happening to me right now. Doctor ako. Madali kong nakikinita ang mga problema ng mga pasyente ko ngunit ngayon hindi ko kayang tukuyin kung ano na ba ang nangyayari sa akin.

Pinipilit ko naman ang sarili kong maging matapang at harapan ang bangungot na iyon. Pilit kong tinitibayan ang loob ko. Pero sa tuwing bumabalik sa akin ang nangyari tatlong taon na ang nakalilipas ay nanghihina ako. Ewan ko ba kung bakit. Sanhi ba ito ng pagbububtis ko o ano? Hindi ko talaga alam ang sagot sa tanong ko.

I decided to come back to my apartment for some reasons. I don't want to be a coward anymore.

If I have to face Verro. I will face him. There's no point running. I will soon have to face him no matter what. So why delaying the inevitable.

After I packed my things. I hurriedly went outside the house and get inside my car. I drove my way back to my condo without uncertainty.

Nang marating ko na ang building ng condo ko ay agad akong nagpark sa basement ng building at tinungo ang elevator na maghahatid sa akin patungo sa condo unit ko.

Inaasahan ko ng nandoon si Verri naghihintay sa labas. Kaya hinanda ko na ang sarili ko sa muling paghaharap naming dalawa.

Nang malapit na ako sa unit ko ay aninag ko na ang bulto ng isang tao na nakaupo at nakayuko sa tapat mismo ng unit ko.

I gather my wits and let out a deep sigh as I continued walking.

Tumigil ako sa tapat ng pinto not minding the person sitting there. I grab my keys and was about to open the door when Verro's head lift up.

Para siyang nakakita ng multo at agad na tumayo para harapin ako.

"Lyssa! Where have you been?! I've been looking all over for you." He was hysterical but I just only gave him a bored look.

"Ohh." I reacted and opened my unit's door. I felt him followed behind me.

Inilapag ko ang susi sa center table at binitawan ang bag sa sahig. I took off my shoes and went inside my room.

"Honey, come on. Talk to me please. Where have you been?" His voice were pleading but I don't give a damn.

"None of your business." I smuggly said to him and I am starting to undress myself.

Humarang siya sa harapan ko at hinawakan ako sa magkabilang braso.

"Don't be like this Lyssa. Ayusin natin to. Please honey, let me make it up for you. Let's start over again." He was pleading as he was looking at me.

Sinalubong ko ang mga tingin niya at matapang siyang sinagot.

"Wala ng dapat ayusin Verro. There's nothing to start over." Malamig kong saad sa kaniya at mahinang pinalis ang mga kamay niyang nakahawak sa braso ko.

Hindi na rin siya nagmatigas pa at hinayaan nalang ako.

"T-Then how about that n-night? Ano iyon Lyssa? Laro lang sayo?" Madamdamin niyang tanong ngunit namamanhid na ako. Wala na akong maramdaman sa mga oras na ito.

"It was a simple lust Verro. We were both horny and in need. There's no big deal about it." I heartlessly said to him.

A lone tear escape his gorgeous eye when he stared back at me. Ngumiti siya ng mapait habang matiim akong tinitingnan sa mga mata. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko nagagawang salubungin ang mga tingin niya. Ang tanging gusto ko lang ngayon ay matapos na ang lahat sa amin.

He sniffed and brushed the tears away. He then cupped my face looking intently at me.

"I know I've done terrible things before. But I was still hoping I could make up for it, that you will give a chance to redeem myself and prove myself to you. But you won't let me. I know what I am feeling right now is not comparable to the pain I've caused you before. And I'm sorry for that honey. I really am. But if this is what you want, I will respect it. You don't want to be with me anymore, I get that. It must have been hard for you to be with me. I'm sorry for everything Lyssa. I'm sorry for being a coward. I'm sorry." He sniffed again and kiss my forehead.

"Kahit ito man lang maibigay ko sayo Lyssa. Freedom is what you want and I am giving it to you. I wish you the best my Lyssa." He broke into tears as he hugged me. I couldn't move my body. I'm literally feeling numb outside and inside. I couldn't feel anything.

Humiwalay na si Verro sa yakap at mapait na ngumiti sa harapan ko. Ramdam ko ang panginginig ng mga kamay niya ng bitawan niya ako.

Dahan-dahan na siyang tumalikod mula sa akin ngunit hindi ko magawang gumalaw. What is happening? Why am I being like this? Am I making the right decision?

I was back at my reverie when I heard the shutting sound of the door. What just happened? Did Verro really walked out of my life?

Hindi ko magawang gumalaw mula sa kinatatayuan ko. It feels like I was rooted in my place, unable to move. Tears started to stream my eyes as realizations hits me.

Verro walked out of my life. He finally walked out of my life. I should feel happy. But why am I crying right now? This is what I want right?
