Chapter 40

Chance

Loise

Hindi agad nagproseso sa utak ko ang sinabi niya. Namuo ang mga likido sa mata ko at hindi ko na napigilan ang isang luhang kumawala. "Are you crazy?! You told me before that you ONLY see me, as what?! Your f-cking little sister?! Then after a while, you'll came to me, claiming that you f-cking love me?!" I growled.

I am fuming mad! Anong akala niya sa'kin?! Just because he brought me here, I will already accept his feelings?! Hell no! Isa pa, ano, pa'no si Fei? Ano 'yun? Testing lang? 'Pag na-divert 'yung feelings niya kay Fei, ano na? Ano nang mangyayari sa'kin?

He tried to hold my hand but I immediately pushed him. "Who do you think you are, Fonteverde?! You-"

"CAN YOU JUST CALM THE FUCK DOWN?!" sigaw niya na nakapagpatigil sa'kin, pero hindi sa mga luhang tumutulo galing sa mata ko. "Let me finish. Let me explain.." he said in a softer way, like he didn't shout a moment ago.

And again, he tried to hold me, but I flinched. Ayoko. Ayoko na. Nakakapagod. "You don't have to explain, Martin. It's fine. I'm fine.." I said while my tears are still trailing off. Wala na akong sapat na lakas kaya napaupo na lang ako sa isang malapit na stool. "You see, the last time you explained everything to me, you basically told me that I was nothing.." nanghihina pa rin ako kapag naaalala ko 'yung eksenang 'yun. Parang paulit-ulit sa'kin. Isama mo pa 'yung pag-amin niya kay Fei sa Ilocos.. "Martin, I was devastated when you left me broken, to the point that I almost ruined my relationship with my brother.." I stood up and looked at him. Sadness, guilt and anger evident in his face - in his eyes.

"Let's stop this.." I said, and as if on cue, sabay na tumulo ang luha namin. Nagulat ako sa nakita ko.. isang Chip Martin Fonteverde, the playboy of the town, is crying in front of me. Pero ayokong magpadala sa pinapakita niya sa'kin, kasi minsan na 'kong nahulog dyan. That's why I looked at him - straight in the eye, "I never loved you, Martin. I was just in love with the idea that you were the one who made me break my rule." The way I said this, it stings. It pains me, big time. Kasi alam kong pati sarili ko, niloloko ko na. But I badly need this..

And there, I saw his tears streaming down his cheeks, but he didn't budge wiping them off. Nasasaktan ako sa nakikita ko, kasi alam ko, deep inside me, may parting naniniwala sa kanya. Sa sinabi niya..

I go near him, wipe my tears and smile, "Don't cry Martin, because you will always have a big part in my heart. You taught me how to take risks even, regardless of the outcome. And I-I will a-always be t-thankful for t-that.." I managed to give a small smile, even my heart wants to break down and shatter into pieces. "Goodbye, Martin.." I said while looking at his eyes, wiping his tears away.. Because that's the least I can do.

I turned around and was about to go down, when I heard him say something that made me stop right on my track and blew the tears of my heart away..

"This is not yet the end, Sera. You made me fall for you, deep, fast and hard. You think I'll let you slip away just like that?" I heard his footsteps, he's walking towards me, but my feet are rooted to the ground. "I am ready to break all rules for you, Sera, just to make you love me again. I swear; you'll love me again and again and again. Hindi pwedeng ako lang ang mag-isang mahuhulog, kailangan kasama kita. Because.. The truth is.. I love you. I love you, Sera." And in one swift move, I am now facing him, his lips on mine.

Rinig na rinig ko ang malakas na pagtibok ng puso ko.. kasabay ng pagtibok ng puso niya. Siguro, kahit nga gaano ka nasasaktan ng isang tao, kung siya rin ang nagpapasaya sa'yo, wala ring magagawa ang pag-iinarte mo.

I snaked my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me, making him feel that I still want him.

My mind keeps telling me no, to stop, to push him away. Pero ano nga ba ang magagawa ng utak mo, kung ang kagustuhan mo ng puso mo ang nangingibabaw? WALA.

He stopped for a moment and pressed his forehead to mine, "Let's give us a chance, Sera.. Please."

I looked at his eyes - his eyes glowing because of the moonlight. "I'm afraid,"

"I know, I know. Hindi naman kita minamadali, I just want an assurance na bibigyan mo ako - tayo ng chance." His eyes are begging. Sincerity covers it.

I nodded and smiled as an answer.

Wala akong pakielam kung ano man 'yung mga sinabi ko kanina. Wala na akong pakielam kung may girlfriend siya. Kasi kung kanina, isip at takot ang pinapairal ko, ngayon..

Puso at pagmamahal naman. Kasi alam kong siya lang ang kailangan ko. Siya lang ang gusto ko. Siya lang ang mahal ko. Only him.
