Destined To Be Together

Chapter 31

FRANCHESKA'S POV

Days have passed since that incident.

"He killed you. So I killed him too." Umiiyak kong sabi habang hawak-hawak ang mga bulaklak kong dala. "I'm mad. So mad... at myself. I shouldn't have done that. But it's just too unfair." I said and tried to stop my tears from falling. Pero wala eh, nahuhulog at mahuhulog parin sya.

"We can finally live freely. I didn't know why me. I never wanted to be a spy of some sort. I never wanted to kill people just to have the spot. It haunts me. Everything... haunts me." I said as I placed the flowers on top of the grave. "You can now rest in peace. I love you. So, so, much Daddylo..."

Mas lalo pang bumuhos ang mga luha ko. Tapos na ang last mission ko. Wala na. Tapos na ang lahat! I should be happy, pero takot ang pumalibot saakin.

Hindi parin gumigising si Haru, Janine at Luna. Buti nalang at gumising na sina Dred at Adrian nung mga naka raang araw.

"Bye Daddylo. Paalam na po. Babalik narin po ako sa dati kong sarili. The soft hearted and mabait na Cheska." I said and smiled at the grave once more bago tuluyang tumayo at naglakad papalayo.

Nang marating ako sa ospital ay deretso na akong sumakay ng elevator at naglakad na papunta sa silid ni Haru.

Nanginginig parin ang mga kamay ko sa ilang araw kong pag dalo dito. Pero ngayon, iba ang pakiramdam ko eh.

I sighed before entering the room.

Bumalik na sa US ang mga parents namin.

"Haru." I said and held his hand.

Naupo ako sa tabi nya at yumuko. Sising-sisi ako sa nangyare. Kung hindi lang sana ako umalis, wala sigurong mangyayareng ganto.

"Cheska... please don't leave me again."

Dali-dali kong inimulat ang aking mga mata.

Oh my gosh... he's finally awake!

"H-haru." Naiiyak at nagulat kong sabi.

Tatayo na sana ako para tumawag ng nurse kaso pinigilan nya ako.

"Cheska, please believe me. I didn't--"

I cut him off.

"I know." I said and made a small smile. "I'm sorry Haru..."

"You didn't even listen to me." Malungkot nyang sabi.

Mas lalo pa akong nakonsensya dahil sa nagawa ko. It's my fault.

"Cheska. W-was that really y-you?" Nauutal nyang tanong.

I looked away.

"Hey..." he called and I felt his hand on my cheek. "Babe."

He made me look at him.

"Look at me." Napatingin ako sakanya. His purple eyes looked at me with warmth.

"I-i--"

"Don't worry. I'm here, and I'm ready to listen." He said and made a small smile.

A part of me was saying that I don't deserve him.

I pouted.

"Ano? Gusto mo kiss?" Biro nyang sabi. "Dali. Bigyan kita kiss." Sabi nya at ngumuso rin.

"Alam mo? Kahit nagka ganyan ka, maharut kapa rin." I said and sighed.

Tinignan ko ang mukha nya. The scar on his cheek was still visible pero okay lang. Gwapo parin naman sya.
