Dance Through The Beat of My Heart

Chapter 10: Unbreakable Promise

Chapter 10: Unbreakable Promise

~ Deetry's P.O.V. ~

I'm sorry kung iniwan kita, Santhy. Gustuhin ko man o hindi, kailangan ko itong gawin. Bakit kasi sinaktan mo pa ko? Alam ko namang di mo sinasadya. Kahit sabihin ko kay Daddy na nagawa mo lang yun para kay Daddy mo, kukunin niya pa rin ako mapalayo sa iyo. I'm sorry. Wala akong magagawa. :'(

Pagdating sa Canada, si Santhy pa rin ang iniisip ko. Parang ayaw kong umalis sa airport. Parang sasakay ako ulit para balikan siya sa Pilipinas.

Hours passed...

Days passed...

Weeks passed...

Hanggang umabot ng 1 month. Wala na kong balita kay Santhy.

Pumunta ako sa papasukan kong school for next month. Wala pang katao-tao run. Pumunta ako sa gymnasium nila. Timing pagpunta ko, on pa ang mga ilaw. Umakyat ako sa mga bleachers. Sa pinakatuktok. Naisipan kong pumunta rito kasi naaalala ko naman si Santhy. (as always) :') Those days.

Sa gitna nang pag-iisip ko kay Santhy...

Biglang namatay ang mga ilaw. Nagmadali ako pababa. Nahirapan akong bumaba dahil nasa tuktok pa talaga ako. Sa pagkataranta, di ko namalayan ang basang tubig sa kadahilanang ako'y mahulog.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

* bogsh*

"Deetry?"

"Deetry, are you ok now?"

"D-Dad? Where am I?..." "... o! My leg! God!"

"Deetry. Look, calm down! Okay? I was looking for you yesterday and yet, I just saw you at the gym lying down on the floor. I even rushed you to the hospital. But I am sad to say that your leg was fractured." "You..." "... you can no longer walk nor..."

Looks like my world turns slowly...

slowly... cause of that news.

slowly...

and even slower...

"... Nor dance."

Then my world turns into a frozen ice.

I can't move. My tears started to flow. Flow with sorrow.

Dad hugged me tightly for he knows that dancing is my passion...

and was now broken. Just like my heart broke apart. </3

The only one in my mind is Santhy.

Would he ever loved me again? Would he accept me with this situation? I can't dance anymore. I feel angriness then.

Anger why I have to leave him. Anger why I keep thinking of him. Anger to myself and anger with this stupid leg! that would be the reason for Santhy to discourage me! disgust me! And don't love me!

"With this damn leg! Stupid! Stupid!" I started punching my leg because of my pain inside. I removed my blanket and was shocked.

"Dad, what is this?"

"Deetry, we put you on a surgery... and we prefer to put you an artificial leg."

:'(

I don't want to...

I don't want to...

I don't want to...

All I want, is to go back where I should be.
