Chapter 20: Help me get over
Aly. Aly. Aly. She's the girl that Ram's always talk about. The girl on the picture that he stared in his utter amazement. The one he always think about. Nakahiga sa kama si Hillary while thinking and repeatedly tell to herself those memories.
*tok* tok *tok*
Kumatok ang katulong nina Hillary sa kwarto nya, ''Ma'am may bisitor po kayo. Si Ma'am Suzy po. Papasukin ko na po ba sa kwarto niyo?!''
Hinawi ni Suzy si Yaya at binuksan ang pinto, ''Yaya I don't need any permission from her. Okay!'' di na inantay ni Suzy pa ang sagot ni Hillary at pumasok na.
''Hi girl! Umuwi ka daw?! Masama ba pakiramdam mo?! Anyway how's London?! How's school there?!''
''Ah great. Suzy can I ask some questions?!''
''Sure. What's this about?!''
''Who is Aly?!''
''Aly?! Oh yeah that wanted girl. Actually Ram court her for almost two months. Akala ko nga seryoso na siya. Medyo mahaba yun but I didn't took it seriously coz maybe it's just part of his pay back plan.''
''He court her?! Why you don't even told it to me when I called you?!''
''What for?! As a concerned friend to him?! A concerned citizen?! Hillary listen, I'm your friend here but I'm not supposed to report all actions of Ram to you. You're not his girl anymore. Maybe before and we all know the story of what relationship you have right now with him.''
''Suzy stop!''
''What?! This is the truth Hillary. Between you and Ram is already over. Forget all about him. Moved on!''
''No Suzy! I can't! You know I tried but it didn't work. I don't want to lose him.''
''But you're the one who chose to lose him at the first place. Hillary look, accept the fact that he will never be yours again.''
''What are you saying Suzy?! You don't know the story!''
''Yes I know everything. Anything. And what I knew is enough to say those words! May iba pa bang dahilan?! Huh?! Anyway that's your life. Do what you want. I gotta go. If you need someone just call me na lang if you're already awake in reality.''
Umalis si Suzy. Naiwan si Hillary na nag-iisip. Gulong gulo. Hindi niya namalayan tumulo na ang luha niya sa mga pisngi niya. Kay Ram ulit. Si Ram na naman. Tears of pain. Being alone. Being left. Being rejected. Being unloved.
Tumayo siya at lumapit sa closet niya. Kinuha ang isang box. Box that is full of memories. Memories of him. Happy memories. Priceless smile.
*Now Playing: Help me Get Over*
'Hillary I promise I will love you and love you and love you forever! You will be my girl forever! Thank you and I love you!'
Bumalik lahat kay Hillary ang alaala. Ang araw na sinagot niya si Ram. Niyakap siya nito at inikot. Sinabi ang mga salitang walang kapantay sa kasiyahan.
Kinuha niya mula sa box ang isang tuyong pulang rosas.
'To the only apple of my eye, sweetie, Happy first anniversary! I love you forever!'
Lalong umiyak si Hillary when she remember those lines. Their first anniversary. First kiss. The first sweetest date she ever had. All of those became special because of him.
Then kinuha niya ang isang papel. The first letter that Ram's wrote for her.
To my girl,
We promised to each other that we will be together forever. Together we will face all the trials. Together we will fight for our love. No if's and no but's because we will be together forever.
I love you sweetie. I love you Hillary.
I don't want you to choose over me and your ambition. But your presence on the battle is enough for me to prove your love for me.
I will wait for you. Please come. I'll wait.
Ram
Ang sulat na binigay ni Ram before the battle of the band they joined. Before her flight to London. That time a school of arts in London gave Hillary a free training program in fashion designing. That's her ambition in life. The one thing she cannot afford to replaced with anything. Even her love for Ram.
*Now Playing: All or Nothing by O-Town*
I am there Ram. I am there. It's just my choice on not seeing you that day. I chose to be invincible. Coz I know already chose and I don't want you to see hurting. Sorry if I chose my ambition than my dream. Sorry if I hurt you that much. But it doesn't mean my love for you fails. That I don't love you. Because you're the only one I'd love liked this. And I really do love you until now. Only you Ram. Sabi ni Hillary while holding that piece of paper and crying out loud.
A/N: Huhuhuh...Naiiyak ako grabe dahil hindi ko akalain na may magbabasa talaga nitong story ko... Kaya naman madaming thank you friends!!!!!
