My Girl Got a Gun?! (Romance X Action X Comedy) [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 21

“Hindi! Ikaw si Red! Aldred Rena Rosario! Hindi mo ba na-aalala? Ako to si Gray. Red…” He grabbed my shoulder and shook me desperately. Lumapit si Yellow sa aming dalawa. She caught my hands and held it.

“Ate Red! Ako to si Ela! Naalala mo ba ako.” Yellow. I’m glad you find your own path now.

“Pasensya na po talaga. Hindi po ako ang hinahanap niyo. Alam niyo, maraming talagang nagsasabi sa akin na maraming akong kahawig.”  I faked a laugh.

“Ate Red…” Bakas ang lungkot sa mukha ni Yellow.

“I’m sorry…” Gray let go of me. Hindi ko inaasahan na susuko siya ng ganito ka aga. I’m sorry Gray.

“Mommy! He’s the stupid guy from before!” Raye popped from behind while waving to Gray.  Mukhang nagkakilala na pala silang dalawa.

“Hi Raye.” He smiled weakly at the child and waved back at him. I’m sorry, both of you. Hindi niyo man lang nagawang makilala ang tunay na pagkatao ng isa’t-isa.

 

“You see…”  Tumalikod siya sa akin at nag-umpisang magsalita. “I’ve been searching for her, the woman I fell in love, for the past three years but it seems finding her seems impossible now.”

“I’m sorry. I hope you find her.” For the past three years. Alam kong sobra kitang nasaktan Gray. And even right now.

“It’s Ok.  I was just hoping to find her before I get married.” Hindi na ako nagulat sa nabalitaan ko. That’s right Gray. You must move on and live in a world without me now. But why is it there’s something like a painful feeling inside of me? Parang nilulukot ang dibdib ko sa sakit.

I never thougt it would be this difficult to say.
 “Congratulations.”

 

~~~

“Are you Ok with it?” Yellow glanced at Gray at the backseat. There’s something in his eyes, something that was always there kahit na ilang beses na siyang nabigo.  There was hope. For three years, he waited for this day to come.

Pero hinayaan nilang umalis si Red. Knowing Gray’s personality, kanina pa niya dapat hinatak si Red na sumama sa kanya. He was so desperate to see her. But he never did.

“I’m not giving up. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari sa kanya, why she forgot everything. Pero I’m sure she’s the Red I knew, my wife. Kailangan ko lang maipa-alala sa kanya ang lahat. And Raye…So he was my son.” Gray’s long lost smile was back again.

“Yellow, I’m getting my wife and son back.”

“Ano ba yan Rene. Kailan mo ba balak akong papanalunin?!” Reklamo ni Don Miguel habang nagwawala. Pangsampung laro na nila ngayong hapon at hindi pa din nanalo.

“Sinuswerte ka kung—“ Biglang tumunog ang cellphone ni Rene. Kinuha niya ito at sinagot.

“Ha?! Anong sabi mo?!” Gulat na sigaw niya sa kabilang linya.

 “WAAH! PANALO AKO!” Sigaw naman ni Don Miguel.

“MIGUEL!!!”

“Ano?! Hindi ako nandaya. Hindi ko ginalaw ang chess piece mo habang hindi ka nakatingin.”  Painosenteng sabi ni Don Miguel.

 “Bahala na ang bwisit na laro na yan! May magandang balita ako!” Tinabig ni Rene ang chess board.

“Ano!? Nanalo ka sa lotto?” Excited na sigaw ni Don Miguel.

“Hindi Ano ba! Na—“

“Nabunot ang pangalan mo sa raffle?!” Pagpuputol niya.

“Don Miguel.” Walang ekpresyong na wika ni Rene habang nakatitig kay Don Miguel.

“Ah. Ok. Ok.” Nakahalf-smile na sabi ni Don Miguel.

Malapad na ngumiti si Rene.

“Nakita na si Red at ang Apo mo.”

“Ah….”

“Ano?!!! Nasaan na sila! Puntahan natin sila! Dali. Yay!!!” At humarurot na tumakbo si Don Miguel.

~~~

“Violet!” Amando stormed inside Violet’s room looking furious.

“What is it Dad?!” Violet asked as she put on her red lipstick.

“Nakita na si Red! Buhay pa Siya.”

“What?! Are you serious?” Nabitawan ni Violet ang hawak niyang lipstick sa sobrang bigla. Agad siyang kinabahan. Naalala niya kung anong kayang gawin ni Gray para sa Red. Hindi to maari. Sa tatlong taong niyang hintay para mapasakanya si Gray, hindi niya hahayaang maagaw pa ulit sa kanya si Gray. Kaya naman she learned to use guns after that incident. Sa kanya lang si Gray kahit ano man ang mangyari.

“I heard she got an amnesia.” Napangiti si Violet sa narinig.

“Then she’s useless. Kahit na bumalik pa siya, matapos ang tatlong taon, ako na ang mahal ni Gray ngayon at hindi siya.”

“You forgot Gray. That damn bastard…” Amando clenched his fists.

“Now that Red’s back…Gray’s cancelling the wedding…” He pounded his fist on the table. Ilang beses ba ng gagong yan kailangan sira-in ang mga plano niya? Amando raged with fury. So as Violet. Hindi na niya hahayaan pang maagaw si Gray ngayon.  Gagamitin niya ang kahit ano mang paraan para mapasakanya lang si Gray. Ano mang paraan…

“Red. Magababayad ka.”
