Chapter 14: another storm

My hands shaked in pain and fear, I dropped my phone and freezed in my position. Then tears started streaming down my cheeks, I cried without producing a sound.

"Kila!" Chloe dropped her towel that she was using to dry her hair in my bed and ran towards me the moment she saw me. "Anong nangyare?!" Her voice shaked.

I reached for my phone with shaking hands and offered it to her as she grabbed it from my hands that were continuously shaking. She looked at the article I read earlier, she even covered her mouth with one of her hands, trying to hide the fact that the article she just read was really shocking... and painful.

"Kila..." She called my name. From that moment I started sobbing.

"Bakit naman parang hindi matapos-tapos lahat ng sakit." I sobbed. "Putangina, pagod na pagod na pagod na 'ko. Pagod na 'ko sa lahat. Gusto ko na magpahinga." I said like I was choking on my own words.

"Please, Kila, don't say that, Please." She begged. She hugged me while I was starting to cry even harder. Sa sobrang sakit, napaupo nalang ako.

"I've already reached my limit. Pagod na 'ko, Chloe. Gusto ko na magpahinga." I sobbed even harder.

Marriage date's still not yet confirmed. Netizens were shocked with this news as Fioña never had any dating history. 'we've been dating for three years now. He decided to propose to me just tonight. I was actually shocked, as I did not expect him to propose to me this early. he's one of the best things that happened to me, so I'm really happy to announce that I'm engaged and I'm getting married soon with the love of my life.' Fioña Perez said. We wish this couple happines! Congratulations, Fioña Perez and Axel Cortes! Best wishes!

"Ano pa ba kailangan kong maramdaman para may sapat na 'kong rason para magpahinga? Kasi alam mo, pagod na pagod na 'kong lumaban. Putangina, Chloe, umiyak pa siya sa harapan ko. I listened to him, I accepted him, again. Because I fucking understood his reason why he left me. But look at that article. Three years dating, ever since I left he already had her. So everything he showed me back in Christmas day were only for show? Fuck it's so hard to keep on building my trust, when he keeps on breaking it. I drowned again. Can I even save myself again? Can I even keep on fighting when I've already reached my limit? I'm so tired of carrying the weight of the world in my back." I held my chest, where my heart is placed. Hoping the pain I'm feeling gets lessen.

"Kila, baka may explanasayon siya..." Chloe said, cautious with her words.

"Chloe, that's pure evidence right there. Three years. I'm just his toy. He might've felt guilty for leaving me that's why he wanted to fix things between us. I just expected. Fucking expectations. I set them too high that I got hurt."

"Kila, please, huwag kang mapagod lumaban. You've already came this far, please don't give up. You'll get through this." She said as she caressed my hair.

"Came this far, yet I only felt happiness for a few days and look at where I am now. I am in pure pain again. I don't want to love anymore. This wound will never heal. I just have to accept that. That I'll forever be in pain. I already lost hope. I lost hope of being happy again, because the moment I feel happiness, sadness comes again. I'm slowly dying inside. I'm just so tired, I want to rest already, Chloe." I cried even harder in her arms.
