Chapter 25: Truth behind a person's demise
I am still crying and I can't explain the pain that I am feeling right now.
Why would my dad do such a horrible thing to his mother?
I am so confused and devastated and don't know what to do. I just wish this was all a nightmare and that I would wake up from this terrible dream.
Napansin ko ang bench na nasa gilidan ko kaya umupo muna ko. Habang ako'y naka-upo ay bigla namang may nag payong sa'kin. I tilt my chin and I saw Vius. Nakatayo siya sa harapan ko hawak-hawak ang isang itim na payong at pinapayungan ako.
Tumingin lamang ako sa kaniya at bigla niya naman akong tinabihan.
"I'm sorry..." he said at napakunot noo naman ako.
"Why?"
"Sa ginawa sa'yo ni Archie." Tumingin naman siya sa'kin and our eyes lock as we look at each other.
Bakit ba lagi nalang si Vius ang humihingi nang tawad? Hindi ba kayang sabihin sa'kin ni Archie ang salitang 'sorry' ha?
"Ano bang nangyari?" Napatulala lang ako sa kaniya at hindi umimik. Bigla namang tumulo ang mga luha ko sa aking pisngi.
"Ayokong pag-usapan" ani ko at pinahiran ang luha ko.
"Sorr–"
"Tama na nga! Puro ka nalang sorry ng sorry, wala ka namang ginawang masama sa'kin! Dapat nga si– si Archie ang nagsasabi n'yan at hindi ikaw!" Sigaw ko sa kaniya at nahingal naman ako. Napayuko ako at hindi ko naman mapigilang umiyak ng malakas.
Habang ako'y umiiyak ay nagulat naman ako nang bigla akong yakapin ni Vius. His hug is so comforting. I was overcome with so much pain and grief that crying was the only thing that released some of the pent-up emotions inside me.
I buried my face into his chest and buried myself in his embrace, and I cried as loudly as I want.
"Let it all out, Allison" He said while rubbing my back.
His words touched my heart and his comforting touch brought me some solace. My body shook as I cried, and I could feel the pain rising up inside me. I felt so weak and vulnerable in his arms, and I just wanted to melt away.
**
Narito na ako sa bahay dahil inihatid ako kanina ni Vius. Nakahilata ako ngayon sa aking kama at kakatapos lang maligo.
I can't close my eyes dahil ang sakit, well... thank you Archie for your honesty and tears of joy rolled down my cheek.
