Chapter 29
"We'll talk tomorrow, you have to rest now," he walked near me. Tinulungan niya akong maihiga ng maayos sa kama saka kinumutan.
Nang tumayo ito para umalis ay hinila ko agad ang braso niya kaya napa-upo siya sa kama. Umupo rin ako para magkapantay kami.
"Why are you still keeping my clothes there? It's been 5 years, Cruel. You could've throw it years ago."
"We'll continue this talk tomorrow, Catt,"
"No, Cruel! Answer me now!"
I heard him sighed. Napansin ko lang, kanina pa siya napapabuntong-hininga.
"What do you want to hear? The honest answer or not?" He looked at me with those serious eyes again.
"I want your honest answer Cruel,"
He's quite, for how many second before he spoke.
"I'm still stucked on you, Catt." I gasped. I felt like crying. He saw my hand shaking, he held it with his both hands and caressed it to calm me.
"Hindi ko kayang itapon 'yang mga gamit mo kasi umaasa pa rin ako... umaasa pa rin ako na magkakaayos tayo. Umaasa akong uuwi ka ulit dito," I bit my lip to stopped myself from crying.
"Hindi ko naman talaga gustong sabihan ka ng masama, pero ang sakit kasi e, nasaktan ako. I learned to trust you, I learned to like you sa kaunting panahon na magkasama tayo," he bowed his head to looked at our hands.
"but you broked me,"
I heard his shaking voice, naramdaman kong may tumulong tubig sa kamay ko kaya napatingin ako sakanya. He's crying!
"It pained me when I saw you walking away of this house. I felt like you're walking away out of my life too," I heard him sobbed.
My tears pooled. I felt my heart is breaking for him. I can feel his pained just by hearing his voice.
"When you leaved, It took me some times before I decided to go on with my life, to move forward without you by my side,"
"I blamed myself for eveything happened to us,"
"C-cruel, I understand you, stop crying now," tinanggal ko ang kamay ko sa hawak niya. I held his face with my both hand.
Namumula ang mata niya kakaiyak at basa rin ang pisngi nang iangat ko ang ulo niya.
I caressed his face lovingly.
"Don't blame yourself, kahit naman ako may kasalanan din sa nangyari. I pretend to be someone I am not. I fooled everyone. I maked you believe to all the lies," I stopped talking to hide my sobbed.
"Pero sa lahat ng kasinungalingang iyon. 'Yung pagmamahal ko lang sa'yo ang totoo sa lahat. I've love you, Cruel. Kahit pakiramdam ko hindi tama kasi kahit baliktarin man ang mundo si Jasmine pa rin ang asawa mo at hindi ako, hindi si Cattleya."
"Y-you didn't even said you loved me before..." tila gulat pa ito sa narinig.
"I suppossed to tell you that day, when you knew about everything. I suppossed to tell you how much I like you to be mine. But then, that happened," naalala ko tuloy ang nangyari noong araw na iyon. I can still remember it detailed by detailed.
Tila nakaukit na iyon sa ala-ala ko.
"For 5 years, Cruel. Maraming nanligaw sa'kin, maraming sumubok kunin ang puso ko pero paano ko magagawang ibigay 'yon sa iba kung nasa iyo pa rin hanggang ngayon?"
Nanigas siya sa kinauupuan dahil sa narinig mula sa'kin. He was looking at my eyes with visible tears on his eyes.
"Tell me Cruel, how could I forget you when you are the only man who made me feel this way?"
