My Dearest Asymptote (Sandro Marcos)

PART 55 - The Least Right Thing To Do

Sandro didn't know what to actually feel right now. He was furious, numb, hurting and above all, broken. He couldn't move his feet from where Elle left her after their conversation.

He wanted to hug Elle earlier, he wanted to run after her but he can't because he knows that Elle made her decision final. She was hurting, and he can't blame her for that decision.

There's one thing that he wants to do now, which is to meet Caroline. So he texted her and she then eagerly replied. She is in a bar, partying.

Sandro is familiar with the place so he go there to meet her.

"Hey Sandy!" Caroline greeted him and then she noticed his puffy eyes. "Ohh, what happened to you?"

Sandro gave Caroline a stare. "Can we talk somewhere quiet?" He didn't wait for her reply and then go out from the bar. Caroline then go follow him.

"What is it, Sands? Natauhan ka na ba...."

"Who gave you the right to humiliate Elle?" Sandro started.

"What? I didn't..."

"Who gave you the right to hurt the person I love?"

"Sandy..."

"Bakit mo ginawa yun??!!!" He is shouting now.

"Can you calm down? People might see you here..."

"Wala akong pakialam! Answer me! Bakit mo ginawa kay Elle yun? Bakit mo siya sinaktan..."

"Fine! Kaya ko lang naman ginawa yun para matauhan siya, at magising siya sa katotohanan na hindi kayo bagay..."

"Bakit, sino bang bagay sa akin, ikaw? Nagdedesisyon ka sa buhay ko? And yung pinapakalat mo na pictures natin online, ano yun? Para saan yun? Simpatiya? Paawa sa mga tao?"

"Can you please..."

"Pwede ba, wag ka nang mag ilusyon Cars. If sa tingin mo you'll succeed in your plan by hitting on Elle, well you're wrong dahil nanggugulo ka lang!"

"Inlove na inlove ka talaga sa babaeng yun? Anong bang meron sa kanya na wala ako? Why do you have to act like that and hurt me..."

"You're the one hurting yourself, kasi hanggang ngayon umaasa ka pa din sa wala na. Tapos na tayo Cars ano bang gusto mo..."

"Ah talaga? Kung ayaw mo din naman sa akin, then I will not stop hangga't hindi ko kayo napaghiwalay dalawa..."

"You should stop now dahil nagawa mo na yung gusto mo. Elle broke up with me today, at isa ka sa mga dahilan no'n. Wow! Salamat ha? Ano, masaya ka na?" Sandro clenched his teeth and tries to control his temper.

"Sandy...."

"But don't get too happy dahil simula sa araw na ito, I won't consider you atleast as a friend anymore. I don't want to be connected with someone who's the reason why I lose and hurt the person I love..."

"No, please Sandy...I..I'm..."

"Okay na sana Cars ehh, okay na sana yung closure kaso sinira mo pa lahat. And one last thing, alam mo ba why I love and choose Elle in the first place? Cause she's not you!!!" Sandro then walked away and leave Caroline. He was so furious and that's one thing that he want to do to calm down and to somehow avenge to what she'd done to Elle.

He doesn't want to go home at his state of emotion so he go to the bar and call Greg for a company. He is someone whom he can lean on to at times like this. They drink until he got drunk and wasted.

His family supposed to have a dinner tonight but he arrived late, totally drunk. Manang Cecil is the one who open the door for him while Greg accompany him.

"Hay jusko! Sir Sandro, ano po bang nangyayari sa kanya?" Manang Cecil sounds so worried.

"Nalasing po kasi manang..." Greg answered.

"Naku, dito nalang sa sofa Sir Greg please. Mapapagalitan talaga ito ng mommy niya ngayon."

The moment Greg laid Sandro at the sofa, there comes Atty. Liza.

"Si Sandro na ba yan, Manang Cecil?" Atty. Liza asked.

"Opo ma'am. Kaso po lasing."

"Good evening po tita Liza. I just drop Sandro by. Medyo nalasing po kasi ehh. Aalis na din po ako."

"Thank you Greg. Ingat ka sa pag-uwi. Manang, please ihatid mo si Greg sa gate. "

Manang Cecil then accompanied Greg outside. Sandro open his eyes and look at his mom who is infront of him.

"Hey mom! What's up?" Sandro said in a drunk tone.

"What happened to you? Bakit ka ba naglalasing? We're supposed to have dinner..."

"I." He is pointing to his chest. "I am Ferdinand Alexander Marcos, your first born son who did everything....just to make you and Pops proud, always...I tried my best to graduate with flying colors and to do my masters in London..."

"Sandro!!!!" Atty. Liza yelled.

"I work at the HOR and run for the Congress and thankfully succeed in that field...I am happy....no, I "WAS" happy to succeed and make you happy and proud, Mom." Sandro sobs at the middle of what he is about to say. "...but I don't understand why it pains me... I let go of the girl I love today, because I love you mom..I don't want to hurt you, and she also don't want to hurt you because you are my mom...but...I hurt her, I hurt the girl that I love...she let me go so that I will succeed in my dreams...funny right? Why do fate plays along with me....why is it so hard to be a Marcos...." Sandro sobs while uttering those words.

Sandro tries to stand up and walked away from his mom even if he feels dizzy, but before he could finally leave, he continue talking to his mom, who's just standing all speechless, while looking at him so drunk...

"Hey mom....I love you, okay? I always will, and I hope I still make you proud today because it cost me to let go the person that I love....even if I don't want to." He then finally leave before he could burst out in tears.
