Chapter 14: Hear Me, Emmy

Start from the beginning
                                    

God! I'm stupid!

Really an asshole!

I rode in a taxi.

When I arrived at her place, I saw her outside watering her santan flowers.

I faked a cough to get her attention.

She turned around and saw me. Her eyes largen.

"A-anong ginagawa mo dito?! Nakuha mo na ang gusto mo diba?! Umalis ka na!!"

"Summer....alam kong mali ang ginawa ko. Sana mapatawad mo ko. Alam kong di sapat yun....di ko na maibabalik pa ang nawala sayo pero sana patawarin mo ko."

I said full of sincerity. Luluhod sana ako pero...

"Don't! Your a jerk you know that? But...its okay now...My boyfriend Marius....he accepts me for who I am, its all that matters to me now."

I looked up to her. She smiled a bit.

Am I forgiven already?

"I'm sorry Summer. Hit me if you want. I won't complain."

"No. Its done already. We both learned our lessons. I will forgive you if you promise me one thing."

She said....nakapamewang at matutulis ang mga titig sakin.

I nod.

"Wag mo ng ulitin sa iba ang ginawa mo sakin. Don't make girls cry."

I smiled. Sure I will.

"Thank you and I promise. I will change from now on. I promise."

"Enough said. Do it!"

She said and her mom called her so she waved good bye and left.

I'm thankful!!

Wooohoooo!!!!

YES!!!!

I have to free myself from all the hatred, it that way...maybe I can forgive myself too.

"Para manong!"

The engine stopped....I'm in Gateway Hotel, to clear the things up.

Dumeretso ako sa hotel suite, the room me and Leonardo Tan, the Congressman did it many times before.

He was there....drinking wine.

I closed the door but never locked it.

"I need something to say baby. Why don't we get married in abroad, a private ceremony and we'll live there. Watcha say huh?"

Seriously?!

Heck!

Over my dead hot body!

I was silent first, making up my mind.

"No Leo. Let's stop this bullshit!"

nanlaki ang mata niya.

"No pleaseeeee..." he even drag my pants at lumuluhod sakin pleading me not to leave him.

"Gusto ko ng matahimik. Gusto ko na ng normal na buhay! Gusto kong magbago!"

I pushed him away dahilan para masadsad ang pagmumukha niya sa tiles.

Paalis na ako ng....

"Sisirain kong buhay mo! Titira ka sa kalsada, kakain ng basura at di mo na mararanasan ang magandang buhay! Sisiguraduhin ko! Tatapusin ko lahat ng hadlang at luluhod ka sakin para bumalik tas di na kita tatanggapin! huhuhu!

O.A huh? at talagang umiyak pa? Ang tangkad, malaking tao, matikas tapos nagtatantrums?

Psh!!

"Hindi ako luluhod sayo kahit kailan! Kakainin ko lahat ng basura malayo lang sayo! At hiwalay na kami ng girlfriend ko! Ayaw mo masira career mo diba? Subukan mong sirain buhay ko, makikita mo....pagpyepyestahan ng madla ang mga larawan mong hubot-hubad, mga videos mong patunay na sagad ang kabaklaan mo! I have them all in my computer, USB, memory card at iba pa! I will destroy you too!!!"

mahaba at matapang kong pahayag. He was shocked. Again. He did not expect na sasagot ako sa kanya at nagbabanta.

He smirked,

"The moment you step out in that door, I'm fucking serious to shoot you!"

He said habang hinihingal.

"Sayo na lahat ng yaman at kabaklaan mo! Alam mo bang kapag na missing ako ng kahit 2 days lang ay ma-uupload ang mga kagaguhan mo online. Marami na ang nakakaalam. I told them that's the order. So if you'll kill me, your secrets will be a firework display! Everyone can see!"

He shut up at pinagpapawisan. Eh wala namang ibang nakakaalam kundi ako lang tsaka na delete ko na lahat ng ebidensiya....noon pa.

"Ayaw mong makita nila ang kalandian mo diba? Set me free and let go of me then your secrets are safe."

Please. I hope you buy my shit!

I smiled.

His silence is a proof that he has been defeated.

Alam ko ang kahinaan niya--- ang malinis niyang pangalan.

Nagdadabog siya.

"I hate you!!"

Yes! defeated!

I whistled and before I slam the door,

"I will still live a luxurious life. My mom is rich you asshole!"

He yelled and started throwing things, I heard broken glass ang constant crying. A drama gay.

Then I feel relieved and left. I've never been so happy, feeling my freedom!

Bumaba ako at sumigaw sa buong paligid,

"IM FREE!!!!!"

Pinagtitinginan nila ako at tumakbo nako paalis bago maabutan ng security guard!

Emmy.....thank you.

Agad akong bumalik sa condo ko at kinuha ang mga bagay na pag-aari ko lamang, sumakay ako ng taxi. Iniwan ko lahat ng bagay na may ugnayan kay Leonardo Tan.

Now, I have to do this....

[Greenstone Subdivision]

Its now or never.

*knock*

*knock*

"Sandali lang." A familiar voice yelled.

She gasps when she saw who it was. I don't know what to react either. We were stunned. Her eyes were filled with tears, looking at those tears made me feel uneasy and all my hatred flew away. She was sniffing and crying. I don't know what to do.

She step forward, looked into my eyes, trembling she did touched my face and tears were flowing again. I wished I could wipe them but instead, she cupped my face and wiped my tears, whoah! I didn't even notice I was crying.

I let go all of the pain. I smiled, now its real and not made in China anymore.

I opened my mouth to speak.

"M-mama...."

She bursted in tears and hugged me. tightly, I can't breath but I don't want to pull out. I hugged my mother too. No words spoken, we both know it. I miss my mama so much.

I miss this hug too....its my remedy whenever I feel down and empty.

This arms wrapped around me, is very comforting.

He brushed my hair but never let me go.

"Vincent....anak ko. Mahal ko."

I smiled.

Now, I live with my mom, I even met my little brother Louie and my step father, they welcomed me with open arms stating that they were expecting me. Now I have a home, a family exactly.

Wala ng kulang sa buhay ko....si Emmy na lang.

Bukas, babalik kami sa probinsiya....para kunin si Lola.

My life is changing now, from worse to best. I can sleep well at night with no worries because of you....Emmy.

I finally did it. I achieved courage and freedom.

I'm now strong.

I realized, sometimes in life, words aren't enough but actions are.
