TWENTY-TWO
Downpour Of Tears

LUCAS

4 years later.

I'm swirling the ice inside my glass as I am spacing out. Nakatitig ako sa singsing ni Letisha na iniwan niya sa ospital. The same day he left without saying a word to me.

I don't know where to find her, I have no idea where she'll go.

And that's the time I realized, I never really know who my wife is. What kind things she liked, food, hobbies or even the simplest things she'll be happy about.

Loving her wasn't that hard, and I realized it even more right now that she isn't with me.

Fuck, this is too painful.

I wish I could turn back the time, if I just loved my wife before? Maybe we are a happy family right now. Our baby is with us, and we'll be happily living together.

Every single day, there's this one oart of me that one day I'd woke up, Letisha would be ending things between us, iisang taon palang siyang umaalis pero halos gabi gabi kong ikinakatakot na sa pagising ko sa umaga. Tuluyan niya ng tapusin ang lahat.

But the fact that we are still married, There's this small hope that she would comeback and be with me. Kahit ilang taon pa ang intayin ko.

Wala ng ibang mundo ang iniikutan ko kung hindi ang trabaho at ang sarili ko. Paminsan mang inaaya ako ng mga kaibigan ko ay sumasama ako.

I don't talk to them that much, but they keep me company. Naiintindihan naman nila kaya laking pasalamat ko sa mga to.

They understand my situation, alam kong may kanya kanya na silang buhay but we still do this every now and then.

 

Nakinig lang ako sa usapan nila, in just a short span of time they help me get out of this hell. Nawawala lahat ng problema ko when this crackheads are around. I'm really jealous with my friends, masaya na sila although not perfect but still I would choose that rather than this pain of loneliness.

And myself who's still in deep sea, drowning in agony of the past. The emptiness that's killing me every night.

I had to leave our house, dahil hindi ko matiis ang tumira sa bahay namin ni Letisha, without her the house feel so empty. Mas lalo lang akong nasasaktan sa tuwing nakikita ko ang prisensya niya sa bahay.

My imaginations of her killed my sanity.

I have no choice but to stay at my penthouse.

This became my usual routine for four years, magkikita kami ng mga kaibigan ko at magpapalipas ng oras, but still...nothing would change pagkauwi ko.

I'm still the empty broken man. It's been 4 years Letisha Odette Alcantara, but I still feel the same pain and guilt every single day. The longing that I always feel every night, I miss her so much.

Abala ako sa trabaho ko, and my phone beeped at the middle of my work.

From: Unregistered

How are you Mr. Almanzares? Up for a talk?

I want to clear up things regarding our divorce.

-Odette.

Halos nanlumo ako sa nabasa ko. Fuck, I'm not fucking ready for this.

I'm not ready but it doesn't mean I'm giving you up Letisha.

LETISHA

I sat down on my swivel as I clicked the sent button on my phone.
