CHAPTER 19
Funny how one day you were too happy... and the next day the happiness was all gone. Funny how cruel destiny could get just to snatch something away from you, neverminding if it could hurt you or kill you.
Tinignan ko ulit ang relo ko. 11:55.
Five minutes nalang.
Niyakap ko ang aking sarili at tinignan ang mga sasakyang dumadaan sa harap ko. Mga taong masayang naglalakad.
May biglang lumipad na papel sa mukha ko dahilan upang mapapikit ako.
I remove it from my face, open my eyes... and I was back in the beach resort in Samal. And thanks to the fireflies because Zane's face brighten up in front of me.
He was still catching his breath from that deep kiss we shared just a few seconds ago. Parehong nakaawang ang labi namin habang nakatitig sa isa't isa.
Why... did he kissed me?
Doon lang nagsink-in sa utak ko ang nangyari. Naghalikan kami... Hinalikan niya ako... Pero bakit?
Ramdam kong kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa kalituhan. Bakit niya ako hinalikan?
Nakita ko rin kung paano nag-iba ang expression ng mukha niya. Na-alerto ang mukha nito at kita ko ang pangamba sa magkabilang mata.
Bakit... bakit siya natatakot? Was he scared because he kissed me? Was he scared... Diyos ko.
Was he scared because he realized that I was Via and not someone else?
Doon ko lang napagtantong tama ang hinala ko dahil sa sinabi niya.
"Look, Via. I-Im sorry..."
Sorry?
Bakit siya nagso-sorry?
Nagso-sorry ba siya dahil hinalikan niya ako? Dahil hindi niya sinasadya... Hindi niya sinasadya?
Hindi... hindi sinasadyang halikan ako?
Nakita ko kung paano lumaki ang mata niya nang magsimulang tumulo ang luha ko.
"I-I'm sorry... I... I didn't meant–"
Didn't meant to kiss me?
Bago pa niya iyon madugtungan ay sinampal ko siya.
Hindi ko alam kung saan ko nakuha ang kakapalan ng mukha ko pero nangyari na. I slapped him.
And God knows how cold water dripped down to me when I realized what I had done.
I saw how shocked he was from that moment. I saw pain in his eyes when he looked at me. And I saw how he smiled... the sad smile.
"I'm sorry."
Gusto kong mag-mura sa sandaling iyon.
Murahin si Zane at murahin ang sarili ko.
Paulit-ulit niyang sinasabi ang salitang sorry na salitang hindi ko inaasahang maririnig sa kanya pagkatapos niya akong halikan. Akala ko gusto niyo ako. Na mahal niya ako.
Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig dahil doon.
He doesn't love me that's why he was sorry.
Hindi niya kasalanan.
Kasalanan ko dahil minahal ko siya ng ganito... at hinayaan ang sarili kong masaktan ng lubusan.
Zane:
I already sent my payment to your bank account. Don't worry, I didn't fire you. Brian's parents suggested that Zoe would stay there for a year. So there, have a nice day.
