Speech

I stared at him, surprised. If I was not mistaken, I've asked him the same thing before at siya mismo ang hindi pumayag sa ideya ko. I didn't even expect that he would ask me to elope in this situation, sa mas magulo.

"W-Wayto... a-are you sure about this?" my voice was shaking. Ang daming tumatakbong tanong sa isip ko. Kaya na ba namin? Are we ready enough? May plano ba si Wayto? How about our studies?

"I am sure, Autumn. There is no way that our families would end this fucking feud. Hindi nila tatanggapin ang relasyon natin. Habangbuhay nila tayong iipitin. I don't want that for us."

"B-But we can't just-" pinasadahan ko ng titig ang kabuuan ni Wayto. "Y-You're still wounded!"

"I will stay here, and you go home for now. I will recover and we will run."

"D-Do you have plans? Wayto, kinakabahan ako."

"I will make a plan."

"Wayto, my grandfather and I had an agreement, I told him that I would try to reach your family and tell that the first initiative of the previous encounter was not from us. K-Kung hindi raw kayo makinig, it's the end for me. They will send me out of the country."

This time it was Wayto's turn to stare at me, I could see how his eyes filled with conflicted thoughts, alam kong kapwa kami maraming iniisip, sa aming dalawa, sa pamilya, sa hinaharap at sa anumang problema pa na pwedeng mangyari.

"Y-You try to hold it a little bit longer, Autumn..."

I cupped his face and leaned my forehead on his. "I will. J-Just recover yourself, babe."

Tumango si Wayto. "I'll message you." He whispered.

Putol man ang komunikasyon namin ni Wayto, alam ko na gagawa siya ng paraan para makarating ang mensahe niya sa akin. We have friends, na hindi kayang hawakan sa leeg ng aming pamilya.

Bumaba na ako sa kama at ibinalik ko na ang surgical mask ko. I turned my back at him, ayoko nang humarap kasi baka bumalik na naman ako at yakapin siya. We need time to prepare, siya para muling lumakas at ako para ihanda ang sarili ko sa unang desisyon ko na labag sa pamilya ko.

I was about to open the door when I heard his soft words, "Autumn... no matter what happens... I love you so much, remember."

"I love you too, Wayto."

Hindi na ako humarap sa kanya at nagmadali na akong lumabas, ilang hakbang ko lang sa hallway ay sumabay na sa akin si Aurelia. Rinig ko ang maluwag nitong paghinga, para itong mas nabunutan ng tinik sa akin.

"Thanks..."

"H-Hindi ko na uulitin ito, Autumn." She's stuttering, mas maputla pa ito sa akin. I was still thinking on how the hell did I manage to get myself a saint like friend like her.

"There's no second time, Aurelia. Ikaw ang ninang kapag nabuntis ako." I told her because I left her with her half-opened mouth, probably thinking that Wayto and I had passionate reunion.

I am still Autumn Stassi Olbes, magtatanan kami ni Wayto and I am still jowable. Kami lang dalawa, of course, marupok ako, marupok si Wayto, saan ang bagsak? Kagat. We will kagat each other.

Kung may giyera ang pamilya namin, may sarili rin kaming giyera ni Wayto.

I giggled with my thoughts. 'Di ko mapigilan hindi matigil sa paglalakad at mapapadyak at isumping ang buhok na nakapusod habang kinikilig. I saw how the janitor creased his forehead when he passed by.
