Save Me (Completed)

43

Harvey used his connection to get us inside the Airport since hindi talaga kami pwedeng pumasok because we're not passengers. But to our dismay, we never saw Ace, even a glimpse of shadow of him.

Nakakatangina.

Nakakatangina ang sakit ng maiwanan. Nang walang paalam.

Hindi ko masabing napaka-unfair naman kasi ginawa ko na ito sa kanya. Now that the tables have turned, it's my time to suffer the consequences.

Luhaan at biguan, I looked defeated when I went to Queen's house. Dito ako nagpahatid matapos naming bigong mahanap at makita si Ace.

Mahigpit na yakap ang sinalubong sakin ni Queen ng makita ako. I felt comfort when I felt her warm embrace. Hindi ko na napigilan ang umiyak at ibuhos ang sakit na nararamdaman ko. He left me just like that. Just like I did five years ago and I don't have the rights to blame him nor be mad at him. Ako lang ang may kasalanan ng lahat because I didn't trust him. But I knew deep inside my heart that I didn't believe whatever Cassandra spilled about her child. Hindi si Ace ang ama ng kanyang anak.

I should have talked to Ace first, I should have confronted him first. I should have listened to him. I should have trusted my man. But it's too late for me to realized that I just made the same mistake I did five years ago.

Nakaupo ako sa malambot na sofa sa living room ng malaki at magarbong bahay nila Queen at Clayton. I marvel the interior of their house, they were a great couple. They were both talented in their own fields. Bagay na bagay talaga sila, from the start naman I knew they have something. Sa mga tingin palang ni Clayton kay Queen way back our College days, I knew that he's head over heels with Queen. And I 'm so happy that they ended up together, mas nauna pa silang magsettle down kesa samin ni Ace.

"San ko sya ngayon hahanapin Queen? I can't get a hold of him, kahit si Aisha hindi din macontact ang kuya nya." Tumulo na naman ang luha ko. Napahikbi pa ako. "I know it's my fault for leaving him again. Hindi ko sya dapat iniwan nalang basta."

"Naniniwala ako na hindi ka kayang iwan nalang basta ni Ace.  He loves you so damn much Maze that he is so much willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of your happiness." Sabi ni Queen.

Napahikbi ako lalo dahil sa sinabi nya.

"Queen, I'm pregnant with Ace child." Mahina kong sabi sa kanya.

"Oh my God Maze! For real?!"

Natawa pa ako sa reaction nyang hindi makapaniwala. I nodded in response.

"Though I just found it by pregnancy test. I felt sick this past few days and thanks to Harvey because he pushed me to do the test." I added. "It turns out positive."

"I'm beyond happy Maze. Ace will be delighted too. Hindi ka na talaga makakawala sa kanya."

"Pero nasan naman sya? Gusto ko na syang makita at makasama. Gusto kong magsorry kasi bigla ko syang iniwan.  Matatanggap ko agad kung ayaw nya akong makasama pero sana makausap ko muna sya." Malungkot kong pahayag.

Sabay kaming napalingon ni Queen nang dumating si Clayton. May dala pa syang dalawang box ng pizza. Bigla akong naglaway ng makita ko ang pizza.

"Tama na muna ang drama nyong dalawa, I ordered pizza. Kumain na muna kayo." Nakangiting sabi ni Clayton.

"Napatulog mo na si Hailey?" Tanong sa kanya ni Queen. Isang malaking ngisi ang isinagot sa kanya ng kanyang asawa saka sya mabilis na hinalikan sa kanyang labi na ikinangiwi ko.

"Cheesy nyo." Irap ko sa kanilang dalawa.

"Inggit ka lang." Ganti naman ni Queen sakin.

Katatapos lang namin kumain ng magring ang phone ko. Hindi na ako nageexpect na tatawagan ako ni Ace, I saw Harvey's name registered on the screen. Agad ko nalang itong sinagot.
