In Love Series 2: Deeply

Kabanata 13

"Mayumi," si Lolo sa seryoso at may diin niyang tono. I looked at Camillo almost begging. His intense eyes darted behind me probably looking at the people. Kumunot ang noo niya bago muling ibinalik sa akin ang tingin.

Sunod-sunod akong umiling sa kaniya habang pumapatak ang aking mga luha.

Please... get me out of here. The pain is unbearable...

"Alyanna Mayumi!" si Lolo muli sa kaniyang galit na tono. Mabilis muli akong umling kahit pa nakatalikod ako sa kaniya.

"T-Take me away from here," I said again, hoping he will understand me.

"I said stop humiliating my niece, Papa! Of all people, I can't believe you!" si Tito sa galit na tono na alam kong kay Lolo niya sinsabi. I close my eyes tight.

"P-Please I'm beggi -" hindi ko pa man natatapos ang aking sasabihin sa kaniya, narinig ko na ang mababa niyang pagmumura at ang mabilis niyang paghila sa akin paalis doon.

Nagyuko ako ng ulo habang tinatahak namin ang daan ng mansyon patungo sa kaniyang sasakyan. I'm afraid that the people of the Casa might see my tears lalo na si Marta. I don't want her to worry about me. Baka rin makarating sa iba pang mga tiyuhin ko.

Mabilis niya akong isinakay sa backseat ng kaniyang sasakyan. Nagulat na naman iyong driver. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba sa presensya ko or it is because I am crying or both.

"Sa YNARRA po ulit tayo, Kuya," he said. Mabilis akong umalma.

"No. Not there. Masisira ko lang ang YNARRA."

"Then sa YNARRA tayo Kuya," the stubborn senyorito said as he glance at me seriously. I stared at him with my face full of tears. I can't even believe him! That's his sister's place and yet someone who's ruined like me and with this situation I am with, will dare to step on that place?!

"That place was made for those who needed serenity. And Ynarra is not selfish," he said.

"E-Even so..." Tumingin ako sa labas at pinagmasdan ang bawat establishment na nadaraanan namin.

"Come here," he uttered. Marahan niya akong hinila palapit sa kaniya and the next thing I knew, I was caged on his not so tight embrace but enough to comfort me. I even felt his gentle tap on my back.

"C-Camillo..." I whispered trying to let go but a part of me wanted it. The embrace and comfort of someone who understand me and the situation I am with.

"I told you, it's okay to cry and not to be okay. Our hearts aren't made of metal or stone. Even aliens feel pain, you know..." he whispered beneath my hair. Sa sobrang sarap ng pakiramdam noon, hinayaan kong ipikit ang aking mata at damhin ang kakaibang init nahatid ni Camillo sa akin.

It is calm and unruffled. Tila naibsan ng yakap niya ang sakit na nararamdaman ko. Nabawasan. His arms ease the chaos in my head and heart.

He is the comfort zone... Camillo is my comfort zone...

And for the nth time since we've meet... he witnessed how broke and shattered I am inside...

"You can always take some rest, Mayumi. Did you know that we, human beings, have the time when everything is unbearable and giving us the choice of nothing but to give up? But because we are human beings and have our own adversities, we always choose to fight no matter how hard life is..."
