Unplanned Love - COMPLETED

Kabanata 36 - Buwan

"Aurora?" Narinig kong sigaw ni Jon. Hindi na ako lumingon. Baka pinagtatawanan na ako ng dalawang iyon, I look so desperate. Tama nga siguro si Brylle, I should move-on. Masyado kong inabuso ang sarili ko.

Hindi na malinaw ang dinadaanan ko, marahil ay dahil sa mga luha na nagpapalabo sa aking mga mata. I just continued running, di ko na iniisip kung saan ako mapupunta.

"Aurora," napatigil ako nang marinig ang hinihingal na boses ni Jon sa aking likod.

"Jon... I'm sorry... I'm sorry," sabi ko nang tuluyan na akong bumagsak sa buhanginan. Nanatili akong umiiyak habang nakatalikod sakanya. Naramdaman ko ang pag-upo nito sa harapan ko.

"I pushed you that night, not because I don't love you, I have a reason to push and walk away." I said and raised my head. Under the moonlit I saw his dark brown eyes once more, it was aching.

"I promise you at first, I was decided to runaway with you but things messed up. My mom needs to undergo to a surgery, we don't have enough money because of the Ocampo, we had some lead about daddy's whereabouts."

Nabuhay na naman sa aking isipan ang mga pangyayari noon. It was like an old hidden treasure being opened up.

"It was all in chaos, but in my mind, ang gusto ko lang wag matuloy ang pag-alis natin. Hindi ko pa kaya... But why did I push you that night?"

Kahit nahihirapan akong magsalita ay sinubukan kong ipaliwanag ito sa paraang deserve niya.

"It was Mr. Raul... Sinabi niya sa akin na gagawin niya sa'yo ang lahat ng ginawa nila sa dad mo. And I don't want that to happen... I know your passion to become like your dad."

His eyes never left mine. He was looking at me, tila hindi makapaniwala sa mga naririnig. Patuloy itong umiiling.

"I'm not telling this to have you back, I just want you to know that I left you because I want to save you."

"That's it?" Nanghihinang sabi nito. Sobra ang kaba ko dahil sa sinabi niya. This is the consequences. "I've wasted six years on hating someone who chose to save me... I've been a coward for pushing you this time."

Nanghina ako sa sinabi niya. I saw how tears fell from his eyes.

Umiling ito, "You shouldn't thought about me. You're so selfless, I shouldn't have let you push me away. You can't go through everything alone that time... I know you only have me." May pagsisising sabi nito at pinalo ang buhangin.

Tumango ako. "I know... But that was my instinct by that time... And everything we have is under them during those time... I can't drag you down with us. And your dad, I can't face him during those time dahil hindi ko alam kung nagawa ba talaga iyon ni daddy... Nahihiya ako..."

"I'm sorry... I treated you so bad. I should have come back," sabi nito at nagpatuloy sa pag-iyak.

"That night... I just wanted to escape badly with you. The moment you called, Dave and I was at the hospital with Lola. I though she's already fine so I left her but she died." Jon said as he look at me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know..." nanghihinang sabi ko.

"Hindi ko pa rin naman alam nung pumunta ako sa'yo, Aurora... I know I'm the one at fault that time, the runaway idea was from me."

Sa tagal ng panahon ay hindi man lang nakarating sa akin ang balita tungkol sa lola niya. Bakit...

"It hurts like hell, Aurora. You pushed me away then when I rushed to the hospital, my mom doesn't want to see me too."

"T-that didn't happened," di ako makapaniwala sa mga sinabi niya. Hindi ako makapaniwalang naranasan niya iyon lahat.

"My mom sent me back that night sa States... She can't afford to see me. I don't know what to do after that... I blamed myself for everything..."
