LOVING FROM AFAR...

CHAPTER 38 : SHE'S BACK

GABRIELLE POV

Manang Ingrid said na dumaan siya kagabi sa bahay na para bang balisa pero ngayon mag aalas nuwebe na pero di ko pa rin maaninag ang mukha niya dito sa School. My instinct telling me that there was something going on but I don't want to go deeper about it. U just hate the idea. Even his friend doesn't know where he is and not answering his phone not replying on my txt . Now tell me kung dapat ba hindi ako mag aalala? Is this the sign? Iiwan niya na ba ako?
Shit!!Why I even think of such stupid thought. Of course he won't.. maybe.

Dalawa lang ang pwedeng mangyari kung hindi ako kumilos, una, mamatay ako, pangalawa, maloloka ako . Getting all my stuff I find my way back to the parking lot. Pull my bike out and head to his Condo.

Kasi naman sumama pa ako kay Tita kagabi eh di sana hindi ako nagkakaganito ngayon. We ate out with her friends who's an Italian. She offered me a chance to study on Italy and also work in her library and publishing company. Tita Laura knows my love for books and writing. After Tita and Tito's death I gave it all up and even forget about it . Gustuhin ko mang balikan lahat na nasimulan kong storya di ko na kaya pang tapusin. Im out of idea and inspiration. Tita Laura wants me to evolve my passion again. To continue and be what I want to be. It is so encouraging and I almost said yes but I hesitate as I remember I have Gab and I can't leave him. Tita Laura understand it but still gave me time to think about it even though its obvious that my answer will still be no.

His car is on the parking and maybe he's also there. I hurriedly came straight to the elevator. I press the number 3 and staring the door slowly close as I waited for a seconds to finally it open again and it does..finally.

I breath in and fixed myself for a while,walk towards his door and in my unweary mind I touch a bell button and patiently wait again. Three tries before the door knob moved and its like a slowmo when it takes apart from the wall.

It's just that very short moment I felt I lost myself, no, I apparently lost everything.

Then that memories went back to my mind. Two years ago where I supposed to wait for the first guy to appeared in that Oval. That day..my birthday.. the day I saw him..closely as I didn't expected.

Tumatakbo siya sa ilalim ng matinding sikat ng araw. He run around three times before he stop and collapsed on the ground. We came near, wanted to know if he was fine and as I lean below to look at him I saw his eyes flickered on me,on pain, on trouble. That eyes that froze me,that eyes that never ever leave my mind ever. .

Then that time when he was on the corner of the Canteen near the door talking with his friends and laughing indistinctly. His first laugh and even his movement when he was moving his hair. His smart speech every time he talked on the stage about positive outlook in life . The first time I saw him very happy,different from the happiness he feel with his friend. That joy Trina gave him and even his pain when she broke his heart.

Of course the romance we had. The hugs and kisses. The unexpected romance that only existed on my dreams finally turns to reality. The first time he held me so close, the first time we roam the world together,the first time we watch the sunset and the sunrise. Everything from the day it all started playing on my mind slowly . I'm froze, shaking and speechless. Vision is blurry, wall is narrowing and the air is out of gasp. I couldn't breath and from that moment I wish I will vanished.

"Hi.."

her voice was sweet and cold. Her brown curly hair swaying in her shoulder, her perfectly curve eyebrows, her lashes that moves when she blinked, her American curve nose,her heart shape lips and her clear black eyes. She's standing there in her most perfect stand that makes her looks like a portrait. She's perfect on the way she is.
