Año Luz Aparte... ( Light years apart ) BOOK 1

Capitulo Cuarenta y tres

           "Are you crazy?" gustong tumili ni Kallyra sa sobrang asar. "Ibalik mo sakin ang bag ko pwede ba?" nanggigil na asik niya sa lalaking tila hindi siya naririnig.

        It was Monday morning and she was about to leave the house. Handa na ang kaniyang maleta sa pag-alis subalit nawawala ang kaniyang bag. At iisa lang ang taong pwedeng kumuha noon.  This immature man sitting lazily in the sofa drinking his favorite lemonade.

         "Later." anito na hindi pinapansin ang galit niya.

         God help her she really wanted to struggle this man to death!
 
         "I f**king need to leave right now. I have a flight to catch! Akin na ang bag ko naroon ang passport ko." parang part 2 ito nung unang beses na kinuha nito ang passport niya. Ngayon naman ay ninakaw nito pati ang bag niya.

         Ibinaba nito ang hawak na baso at tamad na hinarap siya. "I said later."

       "I need it now! What's wrong with you? What else do you need from me Maxwell? We're even now so you should stop pestering me!" gigil na asik niya dahil nauubusan na siya ng pasensiya.

        Nagkibit ito ng balikat. "I don't really care about your company. It's my dad who really wants it."

        "It has nothing to do with me anymore. I just want to leave, ibalik mo sakin ang bag ko and please sign the f**king annulment papers." she spat, hindi pa rin humuhupa ang galit.

       "I won't sign the annulment paper." sabi nito ng makalapit sa kaniya ng tuluyan. I broke up with Shekaina and I decided we need to stay married, we will work things out for our relationship."

         Natigilan siya at napaawang ang bibig sa gulat. "Hah! that was the funniest thing I've ever heard from you." she chuckled.

        "I'm serious Kallyra." madiin nitong saad. Tumayo ito at lumapit sa kaniya. "Hindi ako nagsinungaling ng sabihin kong marami akong naalala kapag kasama kita. When I woke up, it was your name I first said, It was you I desired to see. I have weird dreams Kallyra, I saw places, people and things that don't make sense but the funny thing is, you're always there. Minsan, pakiramdam ko hindi talaga ako kabilang sa lugar na ito, probably because I was stuck in time because of the accident. Everything felt so unfamiliar that sometimes it's making me sad, scared sometimes, alone and lost. But then I saw you, you're the only thing that make sense to me Kallyra."

        She tried opening her mouth to speak subalit walang salitang nais kumawala sa kaniyang bibig. Hindi niya maintindihan ang nararamdaman. She felt his sadness and it's overwhelming her, he felt sorry for him. Sa panahong ito, sila dapat dalawa ang para sa isa't-isa subalit pinaglaruan sila ng tadhana.

       She met Lucas, ang iba nitong katauhan sa ibang panahon. They are light years apart subalit hindi iyon hadlang upang sukuan niya ang pag-ibig na nararamdaman para kay Lucas.

        "I... I have to say sorry Maxwell, I won't be able to help you. I will board the ship and I won't come back." hindi niya iniwas ang mga mata at mataman itong pinagmasdan. He really looks like Lucas, and staring at him now was only hardening her resolve. She can't give up now she had the chance kahit pa nga ba wala iyong kasiguruhan.

      "Then I'll come with you. I'll follow you wherever you goes. I told you, I don't feel like I belong here. Sumabay ka na samin dahil hindi ka na din naman aabot sa flight mo. We will use our private plane, I will join the expedition together with you."

         That made her speechless.

                   *********

        "I still can't believe na kasama natin ang babaeng yan Maxwell." Hindi niya ito pinansin at nagpatuloy sa pagbasa sa hawak na magazine.
