End at Once

I wake up feeling warmth on my waist. My eyes automatically scan my stomach only to see a small kitten curled up into a ball, peacefully sleeping.

My lips twitch.

"Ginawa mo pa 'kong kama. You look so peaceful, I feel jealous."

Dahan-dahan akong sumandal sa headboard. While making sure that I will not stir the kitty awake.

My fingers unconsciously stroke it's fur. It was soft and smooth. It's nice to touch.

The door creaked open. It must be the doctor who owned this naughty cat.

"It's good that you're awake."

For a second my body froze. I heard his shoes hitting the floor rang in the silent room. Gulat na napalingon ako sa bagong dating. His low but masculine voice sounds pleasant. It was the voice that I was longing to hear. My eyes suddenly feels wet.

"Martin..."

I don't know what else to say. I tried composing my self but my heart become restless.

I knew he will come!

Martin frowned. Showing his displeasure. I unconsciously shut my mouth looking at his slightly annoyed face.

"My lawyer can't come so I deliver the paper myself."

Tila para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig. Napatulala ako dito hanggang sa kusang bumukas ang mga labi ko. I acted deaf on what he said. Uttering the question that bugs me day and night for the past week.

"I was involve in an accident. Did you know?" lakas loob na tanong ko dito. Ignoring the heaviness in my chest.

Gusto ko lang malaman. Maybe he has a reason? That's why he never visit me. Any reason and explanation will do. I'm desperate. Just say something and I will forgive you, please.

"It's good that you're alive." his voice cold and emotionless.

My shoulder drop. Ramdam ko ang kakaibang sakit na gumuhit sa aking dibdib. It feels like someone is squeezing my heart. It feels unbearable. Pagak na natawa ako. I force a smile on my lips. Holding in the tears that threatens to fall.

'Stupid, Helga. Of course, he will never care about you.'

Martin made his way to me holding a briefcase.

"Sorry ha? Naabala pa kita sa pagdala niyan dito." my words dripping with sarcasm masking how much his words hurt me just now.

I tried pretending that I already moved on. Pinangako ko pa kay Patricia na titigil na ako. But, the guts and courage I built was gone, the instant I saw him.

Bakit niya ako naaapektuhan ng ganito. Tapos ako parang wala lang sa kanya? Ganito ba kasakit umibig, nakakatanga?

"The house you're staying will be yours as well as the car, properties and other assets will be under your name,"

"What you can't bear to share with me? Kaya binibigay mo sakin lahat? Iniinsulto mo ba 'ko? I don't need your money! Keep it to yourself." I screamed, pain and frustration laced my shaking voice.

Martin paused.

"As you wish. We will sell it. The money will go to an orphanage of your liking."

He open the case and fished out the paper together with a pen.

Pinagmasdan ko lamang siyang ilatag ang papel sa harap ko. My chest quickly moving up and down. It is unbearably heavy. Parang may nakadagan na malaking bato sa dibdib ko.
