Paper Hearts on Paper Planes

Chapter 32

Chris's POV

Pagdating ko ng kwarto ni Sharon I saw Tita and Tito holding her hand. Everyone in the room are in tears. Agad akong lumapit kina Tita.

"Sha, andito na ako."

"Chris." sabay na tumayo si Tita at Tito at give me a way para makalapit ako kay Sharon.

I quickly hold her hand.

"Chris..."

"Sha naman. Lalaban tayo di ba. Lalabanan natin 'to."

"Chris, I want to."

"Andito na ako. Sha, hang in there."

"Pero parang hindi ko na kaya Chris, kaya I'm sorry." tears came running down to her face.

"Don't be sorry Sha. Please kapit ka lang muna, please." pinipigilan ko talagang maiyak, I want to be strong for her.

"Chris, gusto kong makita ang sunset, kahit for the last time."

"Okay, we'll watch the sunset together."

Kumuha kaagad ako ng wheelchair at pinasakay namin siya dito.

We went to the rooftop, pinaupo siya sa isang bench and I sat beside her. I let hear head rest on my shoulder as we watch the sunset together.

"This is nice, Chris... thank you sa lahat ahhh.. and I'm sorry if I won't be able stay for the our future..." mahina niyang sabi.

I held her hand. "Sha..." hindi ko na kaya, hinayaan ko na tumulo yung mga luha ko.

"Take good care of Mirabless. I wasn't able to be a mother to her, hindi ko nga siya nahawakan at nakarga and now I'm gonna be leaving her. Tell her I'm sorry and that I love her."

"Sha naman..."

"Aahh... by the way, can you sing something for me. Yun nalang kasi yung hindi mo pa nacheck sa bucket list mo. Sorry if nangialam ako sa phone mo while you were gone with Kuya kahapon."

"Okay lang yun... anong gusto mong kanta?"

"You decide for me."

"Okay..."

🎶Shut the door
Turn the light off
If I wanna be with you
I wanna feel your love
I wanna lay beside you
I cannot hide this
Even though I try

Heartbeats harder
Time escapes me
Trembling hands touch skin
It makes this harder
And the tears stream down my face🎶

I close my eyes and flashbacks of happy memories we shared together. Back in the days when we were still friends to days na naging kami.

🎶If we could only have this life for one more day
If we could only turn back time🎶

Our first meeting back then. That time when I felt something towards her, that time nung first recital niya when I gave her flowers and she kissed me in the cheeks and give me a very beautiful smile. When I confessed to her, nung mga araw na nililigawan ko siya. Our dates, yung araw na sinagot na niya ako. Our first date officially, to our fights at suyuan and that unforgetable night we shared.

🎶You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be
My love, my heart is breathing for this
Moment, in time
I'll find the words to say
Before you leave me today
