Unconditional Love ;))

Chapter 29

Lee's POV

Mark told me he's back.

I dont know what to do.

Why so sudden.

Akala ko matatagalan.

Is her love for me enough?

Natatakot ako.

Natatakot ako.

I asked her if she really needs to do this. Once she went out of that stage she would see him.

"Stay. Please." Those words are the only words that came from my mouth.

I went down the stage as soon as she started walking to the center. I want to see her reaction.

The commentator called for Miguel Ramirez.

Its really him. He's really back.

I glanced at Migs and went back to Thea. I could see to her expression that she's surprise. My heart beats fast.

"Do you believe in second chances."

Damn! Why do you have to ask that kind of question?

She paused. Alm ko titingin sya sakin. Ano nga b? Am i selfish enough to say no? Unfair pag sinabi kong hindi. Anong gagawin ko kung ako ang tatanungin nun? Naguguluhan ako. She caught my eyes. Wala akong nagawa kundi sumenyas. Tinuro ko ung dibdib ko tas ung ulo ko. Iwas referring for heart and brain.

Gusto kong mlaman kung anong isasagot nya. Sa isasagot nya malalaman kong dapat pa ba kong umasa sa kanya o hindi na. Pumikit sya tapos biglang ngumiti.

She believes in second chances.

She believes in second chances.

I felt my heart dribbling.

I feel pain.

Im scared.

Parang nawalan ako ng pag asa bigla. Ayoko mawala ka. Hindi ako handa.

Tumalikod na sya. Pabalik na ng backstage. Lumakad na din ako pabalik dun. Hinanap ko sya agad. I saw her standing. Para syang nastock sa gilid. Lalo akong natakot. May nararamdaman pa nga sya. Meron pa nga siguro. Lalo din akong nasaktan. Hinawakan ko sya sa kamay. She's shaking.

Tumingin sya sakin dahan dahan. Nanlaki mata nya bigla. Hindi ba ako ung inaasahan nya?

"Babe?"

She looked at me. We are starring at each other. Di sya nag salita.

Wala na kong nagawa. Nakita ko sa mata nyang naguguluhan sya. Niyakap ko sya. Natatakot ako. "Tell me Thea. Anong nasa utak mo?"

Niyakap ko sya ng mas mahigpit. Gusto kong malaman kung anong nasa isip mo.

Tinaas nya ung kamay nya. Niyakap nya din ako. Mahigpit then i heard her sobbing.

That made me broken. Broken me into pieces.

Ang sakit pala. Hindi pa din pla ako. Hindi pa din pala enough.

Di sya nagsalita. Di sya umimik. I wiped her tears using my thumb. I could see the pain in her eyes. Wala na kong masabi sa kanya. Am i ready to step back for her happiness? What about my happiness? Am i that selfish? Am i that selfless to give way?

We went out of the stage again for the announcement.

The crowd roars as the commentator announced the winner.

"Mr and Ms University goes to...."

"Mr. Nakpil and Ms. Dela Rosa."

Yes, we won.

But for me, I Lost the battle. I lost her.

The judges went up. I saw him coming. He was holding the bouquet. He was smiling. He handed the flowers to her and kissed her cheek. When I saw that i felt my heart drop. I stepped back and walked out.

Di ko na kaya ung nararamdaman kong sakit. Alam kong wala na. Talong talo na ko. Umalis ako. Bumalik ako ng hotel. I packed my things. I left my phone. Ayoko na muna ng contact. Ayoko muna. Oo duwag ako. Duwag akong malaman na talo ako. I went to back to manila alone. Ayoko din makita ako nila Wax at Mark ng ganito. Im so pathetic. Napaka duwag ko.
