The Heart's Play (Soon to be PUBLISHED)

Special Chapter: Black Dream

"WHAT? A-are you serious? Nakikipag-break ka na sakin?" Nauutal na saad ni Helene, nakarehistro sa mukha ang labis na pagkagulat at hindi pagkapaniwala sa nangyayari. Heto sila at nasa isang hindi pamilyar na lugar, magkaharap, and he was breaking her heart. Somewhere in the place is a sign 'Black Town'. Somebody please wake me up! I know that this is just a dream! 

 Her heart started to beat rapidly, disbelief and anger rose up inside her heart. Just earlier today, he confessed his undying love for her. They were in love to each other and she was carrying their baby! Kaya imposible itong nangyayaring to. No. 

Tiningnan niya si Rowell sa mga mata. It was blank. Empty. Nothing could be seen from his eyes right now. Wala sa mga mata nito ang tuwa. Yung pagmamahal na nakikita niya sa tuwing nakatingin ito sa kanya. Right, all she wanted to do is to burst into cry. Para siyang nasa isang madilim na lugar, asking for help, but to no avail. Gusto niyang sumigaw, magalit, magwala pero hindi niya magawa. Parang may malaking kung ano ang nakabara sa lalamunan niya. But she could feel the pain inside her heart...It hurts.

"I'm serious, Helene. I've never been this serious in my life." Blangko at walang emosyong sagot nito sa kanya.

Tulala lang siya. Walang masabi. Walang maramdaman. But the pain is unbearable. Sa pakiwari niya, mayroong nagkabasag basag na kung anu. Was it her heart broken? Maybe no. But it could be yes. Ang sinabi nito ay sapat na para basagin ang puso niya.

Then suddenly, she felt like as if she will faint anytime soon. And faint, she did.

PARANG nalulunod na napaupo si Helene mula sa pagkakahiga. Nasapo niya ang dibdib at naghahabol sa hininga. The first thing that come to her mind was her beloved Rowell. They were in one bed, magkatabi sa pagtulog, kaya napabangon din ito sa pagbangon niya. The room where they are right now is fully airconditioned. Gayunpaman, ramdam niya ang pawis na tumutulo sa gilid ng kanyang noo at katawan. She felt scared. Napayakap siya sa lalaki ng wala sa oras. She needed to hug him tight to remind herself that it was just a nightmare. That he will never said those hurtful words towards her. 

"Rowell..." sambit niya.

Gumanti ito ng yakap sa kanya habang hinihimas ang kanyang likod. He made a "sssshhhh" sound while hugging her. 

"Hindi mo ko iiwan Rowell diba?"

"Of course. Hinding hindi ko iiwan ang babaeng pinakamamahal ko."

"The dream..."

"Shhh....It was just a dream, okay? I love you. So so much that no one can break it."

Napanatag siya sa sinabi ng nobyo. Yes, it was just a dream. A very very bad one. Isiniksik niya na lang lalo ang sarili sa katawan ni Rowell at saka ipinikit ng marrin ang mga mata. Smile slowly formed her lips when she feel his lips on her skin.

This man loves her so much like she do.
