The Day My Love Flew Away (Justice Series #2)

Kabanata 30

Kabanata 30 : Gone

We were staring at each other for a couple of seconds. I saw how his jaw tighten and how his adam's apple move up and down.

"May sinabi ako?" He laughed awkwardly while I remain my asking face. "Wala naman, you're just mistaken." He said and still continued on his awkward chuckle.

"Tss," I scoffed at him. "May iba pa pala tayomg kasama rito na pwedeng magsalita." I murmured under my breath for him not to understand.

He looked at me and I shifted my gaze to him too and raised my brow. Napailing lang siya at binuhay na ang makina.

Ipinikit ko nalang ang mata ko para magpahinga. He opened the radio and played some soft music. May dalawang oras rin siguro akong nakatulog at nagising nang bigla akong lamigin.

Ilang beses kong hinaplos ang braso ko habang nakapikit pa rin. I think he pulled over the road because the car stopped.

"Hey, are you cold?" He asked. I opened my eyes and saw his face a little bit close to me. I stiffened at my seat, I pushed him because I feel astounded by his closeness.

His facial expression changed, his face was full of regret and slowly a sarcastic smirk formed in his lips. He placed both his hands on the steering wheel and gripped on it tightly.

"Why do I even care right?" Sumandal siya sa back rest habang nakatitig pa rin sa harapan.

"I'm sorry," I just said and looked away trying not to cry.

"For what?" He asked and shifted on his seat. Hindi ako makasagot kaya nanatili lamang akong nakatingin sa bintana. "You say that even though you don't know what you're sorry for."

"Bakit pa bumalik?" may diin sa bawat salita na lumabas sa kaniyang bibig. "Why come back and make me feel miserable again?" His words were like glass shards that plunge through my heart.

"I'm sorry Jac, I'm sorry if I made you feel that way by just seeing me." I tried my best not to cry but tears keep on falling. Agad ko itong pinupunusan at pinipigilan ang paghikbi.

He didn't say anything then he started to drive again.

My heart still aches for every word he said earlier. I feel so guilty for flying back here in the Philippines and I hate how fate plays with us. I'm done seeing him hurt because of me.

We didn't have any closure. By the last words he said to me before I left back then, he really didn't want to see me again.

Hanggang sa makarating na kami sa dorm ay walang nagsasalita sa amin. Sabay kaming bumaba at inabot niya kaagad sa akin ang susi. He was about to leave but I hel his hand. Agad ko rin itong nabitawan, his emotionless eyes pierced through me.

"Jac," I started and sighed. "I know I said this countless times that... I'm sorry, I will do my best to get transferred back to Manila or maybe get transferred to Florida."

If only Dad would let me go back to Florida again. If only I could put things back in their right places, I would do that.

Yumuko ako at dahan dahan nang naglakad paalis. Iniwan ko siya roong nakatayo at kasabay ng paglalakad ko ay ang pagtulo muli ng luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilan.
