SAVANNAH

 

"Damn you!! Put me down!!" I kicked as hard as I can. I even pulled his hair and bit his shoulders so that he will let me go.

"Stop it Van! You might fall!" pagsuway niya sa akin. But I tried even harder to free myself. Sigaw lang ako ng sigaw para bitawan niya ako but he remained deaf.

 

" You monster!! Manipulative jerk!! I hate you!! I really, really hate you!!" I shouted. Naluluha na ako sa sobrang galit na nararamdaman sa kanya.

Bigla niya akong ipinasok sa kung saan at ibinagsak niya ako sa sofa. Before I could even stand, he immediately went on top of me and pinned my arms.

"Get off me!!" I wriggled my arms away. Napapikit naman siya and pressed his body more to mine. Nanlaki naman ang mata ko when I felt 'him' coming into life.

"Xander?" panicked was laced on my voice. He put his forehead against mine.

"God, I missed you so much Vannah." He said, almost sobbing. I remained silent for a while.

"Let me go Xander."

His grip tightened. He shook his head and buried his face on my neck.

"I can't. Savannah, hindi ko kaya. I can't let you go."

I exhaled. Man, this is so frustrating.

"Xander, please. Ayaw ko na. Pagod na ako sayo. Pagod na ako sa lahat ng ito. Just, let me go."

He looked at me wide eyed.

"No Savannah! No! Hindi ka pwedeng mapagod. Hindi! Hindi ka pwedeng umalis. I can't bear another day without you, mababaliw na ako. Please, just don't leave me."

I saw a tear came from his eyes. Napapikit naman ako.

No Savannah. Wag kang magpaloko. Wag mo ng ulitin ang pagkakamali mo seven years ago.

"Savannah.." he called. Tinitigan ko lang siya. I tried to push him with all my might at nagtagumpay ako. I sat there while he was trying to reach me.

 

"Stop it Xander! Ano bang mahirap intindihin sa ayaw ko na!"

He was taken aback with what I said. He turned pale at parang walang lakas niyang ibinaba ang kamay niya.

" I'm sorry. For everything that I said to you--"

I cut him off saka ako tumayo na.

 

"No. Wag kang humingi ng tawad. I understand. Naiintindihan ko Xander." My voice broke kaya tumigil muna ako. Huminga ako ng malalim as I felt the same pain coming back into life." I perfectly understood all the things that you said that night."

 

"Savannah.."

 

"Alam ko, alam ko na kaya mo ako pinakasalan hindi dahil sa mahal mo ako. You married me because you're inlove with my twin right?"

"NO!!" he tried to hug me but I stepped back.

 

"Don't touch me."

 

"Savannah, please, let me explain." He pleaded but I just shook my head.

"Your explanation is seven years late Xander. Nasira na ang lahat and it is beyond repair." I shook my head and reached for the door. He grabbed my arms saka ako niyakap ng mahigpit.

" No. hindi ako susuko Savannah. I won't give you up without putting a goddamn fight! Tandaan mo, we're still married. You're still my wife."

Napatawa ako ng pagak when he said that. I pushed him away and looked at him straight into his eyes.

"I was never your wife Xander. I am just your substitute bride."
