Xiara Wriella Clemente and Simon Chromewell's Story "S-sir, uuwi na nga po pala ako. Kung may ipapagawa pa po kayo eh tatapusin ko na lang po bukas. Ingat po." tumalikod na ako pakasabi ko non pero napasinghap ako ng maramdaman ko ang mga bisig niya sa beywang ko at idinantay ang noo niya sa balikat ko. Napahawak naman ako sa aking dibdib dahil pakiramdam ko, ano mang oras ay lalabas na ang puso ko sa sobrang kaba. Naramdaman ko na lang na iniharap niya ako sa kanya at sumubsob sa leeg ko. Ramdam ko tuloy ang hininga niya roon na nakapagbibigay ng kakaibang init sa katawan ko. Hindi pwede na lagi na lang ganito. Sapat na ang mga araw na pagpapakagaga ako. Ayoko na maging marupok pagdating sa kanya. "S-sir.. U-uuwi na po kasi ako eh.." naiilang na wika ko kaya lalo lamang ako nitong hinapit. Ayoko talaga ng nararamdaman ko. "I want you to stay with me, Xiara. I need you." madamdaming pahayag nito na akala mo ay isang musmos na nawalan ng candy. Napabuntong hininga ako. Pang ilang beses na nga ba ito sa buong araw? Hindi ko siya matiis pero ayoko na. Ayaw ko na magpakatanga eh. Sapat na masaktan ako sa huling mga sandali dahil baka wala ng matira sa akin. "Pasensya na po pero kailangan ko na pong umalis." mahinang sambit ko at pwersahang kumawala sa kanya. Written by: sachtych
