========================

the decision

"SO YOU'RE back, huh?" sarkastikong tanong ni Marco kay Elle na hindi pa din nakakabawi sa pagkabigla.

"M-marco... I-i didn't expect to s-see you----"

"Yeah of course! Had you known that I'm coming, you'll change your mind in coming in this place!" putol niya sa anumang sasabihin pa nito.

Lumapit siya dito. Malapit na malapit. Lalayo nga sana ito ngunit maagap na nahawakan niya ito ng mahigpit sa braso.

"A-aw! Marco, let go of my arm!"

"Does it hurt? Have you ever realize how would I feel when you left me fourteen years ago?!"

"A-about that... I-i have my own reasons..."

"You should have, lady!"

"C'mon Marco! Let go of me! I can explain everything!" sabi nito na pilit na kumakawala sa pagkakahawak niya.

Marahas na binitiwan naman niya nito. Himas-himas nito ang nasaktang braso.

"Explain huh?! Now you have the guts to explain me everything after more than a decade? Oh my God, Elle! Don't you know how many times I asked myself, 'Did I do something wrong?' but still, I can't find any answer!"

"L-look! We can talk about this in some other place. N-not here..."

He look around and he saw that they are already catching some of the people's attention. He smirk at her.

"That gave me an idea. Come on!" aniya at hinatak ito.

"W-wait! Where are we going?" nagpupumiglas ito pero hindi siya nag-abalang lingunin man lang ito.

"Sumunod ka na lang. You don't want to make a scene her, do you?"

Nagtungo sila sa may front desk ng hotel. Kumuha siya ng isang room. Nang ibigay sa kanya ang card na nagsisilbing susi ng room na nakuha nila ay hinila niya ang kasama patungo sa elevator.

Nang makarating sila sa silid ay halos itulak niya ito sa kama.

"M-marco!" tila nahihintakutang bulalas nito.

"What?!" galit na sigaw niya dito.

Dahan-dahan itong bumangon sa kama na kinatumbahan nito.

"I'm really s-sorry about what happened between us. I have to g-go with my mom that time..." humihikbi ng sabi nito sa mahinang tinig.

"Without even telling me?!"

"I-I don't have the chance to tell you about it that time. N-naghiwalay ang parrnts ko and my mom eventually decide to leave the country. She needed me. You know how much I love my mom... I know I hurt you really bad but you should also know that it hurts me twice. You know how much I love you, Marco. I---"

"Stop telling me that you love me, Elle!" putol niya sa iba pang sasabihin ng babae. "You love me? You should at least called me that time to tell me what happened!"

"My mom broke my phone. She changed our number and I don't memorize your number! Now tell me, how can I call you?"

That's true. Both of them didn't memorize each others contact number. Magkasama naman kasi lagi sila.

"M-marco..."

Umupo siya sa sofa na nasa tapat lamang ng kama na kinauupuan nito.

Tumitig lamang siya dito. Pinag-iisipan niyang mabuti ang sasabihin.
