Third Person's Pov
THUNDER FINDS HIMSELF in front of an altar. His knees touching the cold tiles, bended. His head was hanging low. Lips was beyond pale. Eyes were lacking with any emotion. The soft yellow glow from the lights creates a misty atmosphere.
Marahas na hinila niya ang kanyang neck tie ng suot na polo at wala sa loob na ginulo ang kanyang buhok.
For the first time in his life, hindi niya alam kung pano at san magsisimula. Ni hindi niya alam kung bakit dito siya dinala ng kanyang mga paa.
He feels so helpless. Pwede bang isipin na panaginip lamang ang lahat ng 'to? Kung pwede lang. The corner of his lips twitch. Matagal na nakatitig lamang siya sa malamig na sahig.
"You know Caspen? That dumbass." Pakiramdam niya ay may mabigat na nakadagan sa kanyang dibdib.
He sighed. "They said he's still in a coma, but he's fighting."
"Right.. I... My name is Thunder," Humugot siya ng malalim na hininga. "Thunder Vhon Dimiscus. Perhaps you don't know me. I- marami na akong ginawang masama. I-I drink. I smoke. I created many mistake. I've sinned. I-I destroy lives after lives. I'm a jerk. I never seek for forgiveness nor goes to church, in front of you? I actually never believed in you."
He chuckled.
"But she did. She always believed in your grace. One night, I heard her talking to you, with her eyes close, her lips smiling. She look so serene, so contented. Never ko siyang nakitang ganon ka komportable sa harap ko. Palagi ka niyang kinakausap."
Lumitaw sa kanyang isip ang gabi kung saan nasaksihan niya ang pagtulo ng luha ng dalaga sa pagtulog. When she cries and she thinks na hindi niya nakikita iyon. He knows she's hurting and it hurts more na iniisip nitong wala siyang pakialam. And because of his pride, he never show her how much he cared.
Flashes of memories play before his eye. Jaime's smiling face while talking to 'Him'. Her gentle eyes. Her soft voice. Her unrestrained laugh. Gusto niyang muling masaksihan ang pagsilay ng ligaya sa mukha ng dalaga. Ok lang, kahit pa hindi dahil sa kanya.
As long as she becomes happy.
"Alam mo yung nakakatawa? Yung ngayon ko lang din nalaman na magkapatid sila. No wonder he likes to spend his time with her. Kaya pala madali silang naging malapit sa isa't-isa, to think that I was jealous of nothing, tsk." He chuckled. He sounds more like a proud dad. "You, you know what? She love you more than anything else. "
"Kaya hindi ko maintindihan! Why her? Bakit siya pa?"
Thunder reach down on his pocket. Inilabas niya ang kahetang naglalaman ng simbolo ng kanyang damdamin para sa dalaga. Mapait ang ngiting binuksan niya ito. "See, this? We're suppose to get married."
Bumungad sa kanyang paningin ang isang simpleng singsing. It's a gold infinity ring na pinapalibutan ng maliliit ng diamond na kumikislap sa bawat pagtama ng liwanag.
He blankly stare at it. His long eyelashes creating a shadow on his cheeks.
"Alam kong marami akong pagkukulang at pagkakamali sa kanya. Kaya sana, sana hayaan mong makabawi ako sa lahat ng 'yon. I'm willing to change. For her, I want to be better. So please give me this chance to prove it."
His heart still feels restless. The corner of his eyes stings.
Namayani ang katahimikan sa chapel. Tanging ang nagmamadaling hakbang sa hallway lamang ang maririnig at ang mabigat na paghugot ng hininga ng binata.

Romansa"Falling inlove with a person who does not know how to show their feelings is as good as nothing. Because sometimes even action cannot speak louder than pain. " ... Lumaki si Jaime sa mala-panaginip na realidad. Sa ganitong kadahilanan umaasa lamang...
