A Gangster's Kiss II : Forever Yours

chapter 22**

paglabas ko ng gate, isang lasing na xander ang kaharap ko. basang basa sya. palabas na ako ng gate ng magkasalubong ang mga mata namin. his eyes, those iris brown eyes still has the most mesmerizing gaze, but it can't hide the pain he's feeling. it's all because of me. even from the start it was all because of me. sinabi ko kay braden na wag na akong sundan. then he nodded..

pagkalabas ko ng gate, agad akong sinalubong ng yakap ni xander, not minding that he's soaking wet and had drown himself into alcohol. he hugged me thight but i did not hug him back. even if i wanted to. i can't. and i can never will, starting tonight.

"tell me it was all a lie. sinisira lang nila tayo diba? just like what they did before. sabihin mo lang sakin na hindi totoo lahat ng sinasabi nila at maniniwala ako sayo. ikaw lang ang paniniwalaan ko."

"xander.." hinawakan nya ang magkabilang pisngi ko at pinagdikit ang noo namin.

"shhh. i don't care what they say. kaya ko. tanggap ko.. sabihin mo lang sakin lahat." after what he said, i gently pushed him away.

"wala na tayong dapat pag usapan, xander umuwi ka na.." i said coldly. nagulat sya sa sinabi ko, he showed an unexplained mixture of emotion in his face. he was lost of words kaya inunahan ko na syang magsalita.

"totoo yun. lahat ng narinig mo. lahat ng sinabi nila sayo na tungkol sakin. sa pamilya ko. at satin. so please,  tama na. tigilan mo na to. tigilan na natin to. alam naman natin pareho na sa simula pa lang talo na tayo."

"if you were talking about your pregnancy, then i'll take full responsibility on that! alam kong ako ang ama ng dinadala mo danica!" nagtataas na sya ng boses ngayon. loraine's words flashback on the back of my head..

"i want you to break him. shatter his heart into pieces. make him wish that he should never even met someone like you.."

"hindi.."

"w-what do you mean?"

"h-hindi ikaw ang ama ng dinadala ko.."

"at sino? si braden? sya ba?!"

"OO!" i saw that, the pain in his eyes. he was startled on what i've said pero agad naman syang nakabawi sa pagkabigla.

"i-idon't believe you. please, stop d-doing this. i love you.." sabi nya habang hawak hawak ang braso ko.

"love? what do you know about love anyway?" i tried to sound cold kahit na alam kong anytime, papatak na rin ang mga luha ko. then i saw him grin.

"love? all i know enough is that it hurts.. so much.." humihigpit ang hawak nya sa braso ko. masakit na ang pagkakahawak nya at alam kong magpapasa ito bukas. then he continued to speak.. "let's settle this. please, let's work things out. sinabi ko na diba? tanggap kita. tatanggapin ko ang bata. i can be a better father than him. ano bang nakita mo sa kanya na wala ako? oh god danica! i would've done those things much better than he can.. I can---"

"Stop!" sigaw ko sa kanya habang inaalis ang mahigpit na pagkakahawak nya sakin. "Stop it xander! enough. It's over. were over. a-ayoko na! tapos na tayo!"

"Hindi! ayoko!! i won't give up! bakit mo ba ginagawa sakin to?!"

"b-because.. because you're not worth it..."

silence.. silence.. and more silence..

"and do you think he is? ano bang pinakain sayo ng gagong yun? you gave up your virginity to me then we made a promise and then you let him impregnate you?! tell me, magaling ba sya sa kama kaya sya ang pinili mo?!"

*PAK*

sinampal ko sya. at tumulo na ang luha na kanina ko pa pinipigil. tumawa lang sya ng mahina habang hawak ang kaliwang pisngi na sinampal ko.

"how dare you think of me like that?!"

"what more do you want me to think?! it's hard not to when you have your heart ripped out in two. all my life danica, all my life i had built up walls and defenses and promise myself to never get hurt and to never let anyone here.." he pointed at his heart.. "but i guess all those bad boy and cold hearted gangster acts were not worth it because there's this girl.. a very stupid one knocked all the walls down and broke my heart.."

biglang lumambot ang pagsasalita nya. he was weary. then yumuko sya..
nakita ko na lang na may pumatak sa semento. luha nya ito. sumunod dito ang pagtaas-baba ng balikat nya at itinakip nya ang kanang kamay sa mukha nya..

"I.. I didn't ask for it. hinding hindi ko talaga inakala na maiinlove ako sayo. na ikaw yng babaeng mamahalin ko ng sobra pa sa buhay ko.." pinahid nya ang natitirang luha sa mga mata nya..

"if you want it that way, then okay. were over. if you want me out of your life, then i promise you'll will never ever heard of me again.." tumalikod na sya. pero bago sya maglakad palayo, may sinabi muna sya bago umalis.

"I now hate love. and it's all because of you."
