Beautiful Accident | Completed

Part 5

Kevin Wu

...

Sabi nga nila, lahat nang bagay may katapusan. And everything can be reversed in just one snap.

One day you're happy, one day, you feel loneliness.

Almost one month na kami ni Thea. And I'm very happy for that.

I never recall a dull moment in our relationship. We do have small misunderstanding sometimes but naaayos naman din namin agad.

Minsan din, nag-aaway kami but at the end of the day, nagkakabati parin kami.

Ganyan naman talaga ang isang relasyon. Kailangan din ng konting thrill and twist para mas tumatag ito.

Ano ba naman to? Parang nagre-reminisce na ako.

Ewan ko ba? Parang bigla akong kinabahan for no reason.

My phone rang kaya sinagot ko naman ito without watching who the caller is.

"Hello! Who's this please?... m-mom? d-dad?...aah, yes!...W-WHAT?

....NO! NO! AYOKO!"

I ended the call immediately.

God! Ito na ata yung dahilan ng pagiging kabado ko.

"Kevin! Sorry natagalan ako..oh? Anong nangyari sayo? Bakit ganyan ang itsura mo?"

Si Thea. Should I tell her?

"Kevin? May problema ka. Tell me what is it."

Sabi nya. It's more on a statement, not a question. She really knows me well.

"M..my parents called just now." tahimik na tumingin lang sya sakin.

"Kukunin nila ako at isasama sa Canada -"I paused. She doesn't speak but she smiled pero lumungkot yung expression nya. I know, it's hard. "-pero hindi ako pumayag." I continued and just hold her hand tightly.

"Bakit ayaw mong sumama? Don't you want to be with your parents? Diba matagal mo nang hiniling yun? Ayan na oh, why not take it?"

She said and a tear form in her eyes. Pati ako, naluluha na.

"How about you Thea? I can't afford to leave you. You were there during their absence. Kaya ayos lang kung hindi ko sila makakasama as long as you're here."

She remained silent. We're both crying feeling each others hug.

God, hope we'll pass this test. Sana hindi kami magkalayo.

Yes, I longed to have my parents beside me but I'd rather not to just to be with this lady beside me. She's the one who gives me strength and happiness that my parents weren't able to give me. I'm never letting her go.

"Son, have you prepare your things? We'll be going in two days. "

"Nope. I'm not going anyway. Dito lang ako. Kayo nalang ni Mommy ang bumalik. Wala naman kayong pakealam sakin diba?"

"Watch your mouth, Kevin Wu!! You're disrespecting us. Sino bang nagturo sayo ng ganyan? Yung girlfriend mong mahirap?"

Then it hits me. I became furious.

"Don't say that, mom! Palibhasa, wala kayong alam dahil palagi kayong wala."

I am trying to control my temper at baka aatakehin ako sa sakit ko.

Oo, nandito ang parents ko para sunduin ako. But we ended up arguing dahil talagang ayaw kong sumama.

"May alam kami, Kevin. We're your parents. Kaya ba ayaw mong sumama because of that girl na dukha? Siguro sinulsulan ka niya na wag sumama at para palagi syang dumidikit sayo? Palibhasa, mahirap. Kung ako sayo, lalayuan ko na sya because she only wants your wealth. "

I heard a loud thud as if something heavy is falling.

Tumingin ako sa pinto only to see Thea Faith standing there and dropping what she holds, hearing the words from my mom. Tears fall from her eyes as she run away. I was about to follow her but my mom stopped me.

"Hayaan mo na sya, Kevin. Mabuti na rin na narinig nya para malaman nyang ayaw ko sa kanya."

This time, I'm totally furious. I don't care kung aatakehin man ako ng sakit ko ngayon. Gusto ko lang ilabas ang mga hinanakit ko sa mga magulang ko.

"All this time, I longed to have my parents by my side. To guide me, to care for me, to love me. Pero nasan kayo, mom, dad? Busy! Busy! You forgot that you still have a son who needs your caress and love. But what? You don't even know my situation, do you? You don't even know na may sakit ako. You didn't even show a little care for me. Tapos ngayon, babalik kayo rito? For what? Dadalhin sa kung saan? Para ano? Babalewalain na naman at hayaang mamuhay mag-isa? Akala nyo ba masaya ako?" I paused gasping for air. My heart starts to ache. But I continued.

"But then Thea Faith came to my life. I love her and she loves me as well. She cares for me, she makes me happy. Mom, hindi sya mukhang pera gaya ng inaakala mo. You should be thanking her instead dahil may naabutan pa kayong anak."

I stop and gasp for air. Nanghihina na ako. I look at them and saw them crying. I hope they'll realize.

"I'm sorry son. We're so sorry."

They both said and that was the last words I heard from them before I passed out.
