I called her so many times but she didn't pick up. Malakas ang bawat tambol ng puso ko habang tinatahak ang pasilyo palabas ng building. Danica was following me, hindi ko pinansin ang kahit ano mang sinasabi niya.
"Ayden, where are you going?"
She pulled my arms but she didn't manage to stop me. I need to go to Anastasia. Paniguradong naghintay siya kagabi. She might be mad at me right now.
"Are you going to Asia?" She laughed. "Akala mo ba ay may babalikan ka pa ro'n? Ayden, she hates you!"
Mariin ko siyang tinignan. I cursed silently and continued walking fast. Wala na akong pakialam kung paano ako napunta sa unit niya. I need to go to Asia.
"Pagtapos mo akong halikan kagabi, sa tingin mo'y patatawarin ka niya? You've got to be kidding me!"
Nagpatuloy siya sa paghabol. Marahas kong hinawakan ang braso niya para bantaan. I didn't kiss her!
"Hindi kita hinalikan.." mariin kong sabi. "Why on earth would you think that I'll kiss someone like you?"
Nalaglag ang panga niya kasabay nang pagbitiw ko sa kaniya. I was shaking when I went inside the cab. I continued calling her but she wasn't answering. Masyado ba siyang naghintay? Was she okay there?
I gathered all of my strength when I knew I needed to talk to her personally. Ngayon ay hindi na ako tatakas para makita siya. Sa gate pa lang ay agad na akong hinarang ng guards.
"Sir, I need to talk to Anastasia.."
Kahit anong pilit ko ay hindi ako pinayagan. I saw her mother eyeing me from their window. I shouted her name when her mom walked away. I just need to talk to her daughter!
I was relieved when she went out to face me. Her face was blank and her eyes were swollen. Mabigat ang mga mata niya sa bawat tingin sa akin. She was mad and hurting. Para akong binuhusan nang malamig nang magsimula siyang umiyak.
Why the hell is she thinking that I kissed Danica last night?! I didn't! I was waiting for her response! I never did anything with that girl!
"No.. Wala akong ginawa, Asia.. Hindi ko iyon magagawa.." umiling ako. "I didn't do it. I didn't.."
Nanginginig ang kamay ko habang nagmamakaawang lumabas siya para kausapin ako. She was looking at me painfully. Malakas ang bawat kabog ng dibdib ko sa pagpapaliwanag. Hind ko iyon ginawa!
"Sabihin mo kung gaano siya ka-importante sa 'yo, na kinaya mong bitiwan lahat ng meron tayo.." her lips shivered. "S-sabihin mo sa akin lahat.. Hanggang sa makuntento kang makita na n-nadudurog ako dahil sa ginawa mo.."
My heart was crushed when she walked away. I told her how much I love her but she did not believe me. Why is she saying that I kissed Danica?!
Nang pumasok siya sa loob ng kanilang bahay ay lumabas ang kaniyang ina. I begged again. I just need Anastasia to talk to me properly. Hindi iyong ganito, dahil pati ako ay wala nang maintidihan.
"Ma'am, please.." nanginig ang boses ko. "I love your daughter. I will n-never do that! Please, let me talk to her.."
Malamig niya akong tinignan. She looked disgusted at me, she was staring like I am a pest that is needed to be killed.
"You cheated on my daughter."
I shook my head. "No, ma'am! I could never do that! Please, I just want to explain.."
Mahina siyang tumawa saka tumingin muli sa akin. "Namana mo siguro iyan sa ina mo? Parehong hindi makuntento at manloloko!"
Halos yakapin ko na ang bakal dahil sa sobrang kagustuhan makapasok. I don't mind her hurtful words. I love her daughter. I need to talk to her. We need to fix this.
