THIS IS THE UNTOLD PART. :) Para maliwanagan kayo sa nangyari sa Chapter 11 :)

GWEN'S POV

After my class, I texted Conrad. As he instructed, nagkita kami.

"So, what do you want?" I immediately asked him.

"Ikaw. Alam mo naman yun diba?" Sagot nya.

"A-akala ko ba tapos na tayo? Bakit... Nanggugulo ka pa?" I looked down, trying to avoid his gaze.

"We were never done, Harriette. You know that." Nagbago ang boses nya. Sobrang seryoso.

"The moment you left, tapos na tayo. You left me hanging, Conrad. Tapos ngayong okay na ako, babalik ka." I sighed.

"You should've waited for me. Hindi yung---" agad-agad kong pinutol ang sasabihin nya.

"Bakit, ikaw ba yung maghihintay? Sana alam mo na napapagod din ako! I wanna runaway. And I want to find myself. When I was busy finding and fixing myself, I found Blake." I angrily told him.

"You know what, Harriette.. Save your explanation, dahil tandaan mong dalawang linggo mo nalang syang makakasama." He started to raise his voice.

"Alam ko! You don't have to say that. Kasi alam ko. For once, please! Wag mo akong guluhin. Gusto ko munang maging masaya." I pleaded.

"Alright! But after two weeks, kukunin na kita sakanya. Pag di ka sumama sakin, your company will go down. I'll tell tita about Blake. And I'm sure that they will disown you." He spat. Tumayo sya at umalis.

Church

Pagkatapos namin magsimba ay iniwan ko muna si Blake sa labas dahil may kukunin ako.

Naiwan ko kasi iyong wallet ko.

Napanguso ako nang mahanap ko yun.

I was about to go when someone touched my arms.

"C-conrad." I sighed.

"We talked two weeks ago, Harriette. Mamili ka na." Paalala nya sakin.

"I know. Jut let me enjoy this please?" Pagmamakaawa ko sakanya.

"Anyway, 2 months ka nang pregnant diba? Congrats. Thou di ka mukhang buntis." He smirked.

Biglang dumating si Blake. Pinakilala ko sila sa isa't-isa.

Nung nasa condo na kami ni Blake, tahimik lang ako.

Nakakainis. Dapat ay i-enjoy ko na 'to dahil last day na namin itong magkasama.

Habang nakaupo kami sa sofa ay nakasandal ako sakanya habang pinaglalaruan ang gold necklase nya na may pendant na maliit na susi.

Binigyan nya ako ng necklace na may pendant na padlock. Gold din iyon. At may maliliit na bato sa bawat sulok.

"Are you okay?" Tanong ni Blake sakin.

"Oo naman, Blake. I'm okay whenever I'm with you." Sagot ko sakanya.

I feel peace whenever we're together. Pakiramdam ko ay ligtas ako.

The truth is, I'm not. Kahit kailan ay hindi ako magiging ligtas.

If only I can tell him why I had to do this.

"You sure?" He asked again.

"Oo naman." I assured him.

That night, I hugged him.

"Thank you for everything, Blake." I whispered.

Niyakap nya ako pabalik.

"Sure. Bakit, Gwen? Why are you like this? Di mo naman ako iiwan diba?" Blake.

Bumitaw ako sa yakapan naming dalawa at tinitigan ang mga mata nya.

Those beautiful eyes.

He kissed me on my lips.

"I love you, Gwen."

I just smiled.

Nang makatulog na sya ay pinagmasdan ko syang mabuti. Baka dito na ang huling araw na makita ko sya.

Kinuha ko ang phone ko at kinunan sya ng litrato.

Kumuha ako ng sticky note at dinikit iyon sa study table nya sa tabi ng kama.

"Thank you, Blake. Words aren't enough to express my feelings. Masaya ako kasi nakilala kita. Still remember what we talked about? This is wrong but I don't regret this. Please take care of yourself and always be happy. :)

-Gwendolyn Harriette Guzman."

For the last time, I kissed him on his forehead.

"Good bye, Blake."

Dahan-dahan akong umalis ng condo nya at pumuntang airport.

My friends were there.

I smiled sadly at them.

"Mami-miss kita!" Elaine hugged me.

"Ikaw lang makakamiss sakanya?! Kami din!" Tyler jokingly said.

Niyakap ko silang lahat.

"Gwen, talk to me whenever you're upset or anything. I know, something's off. May di na sinasabi samin. But I respect your decision. Just remember na di ka nag-iisa." I just smiled at him.

Sila mommy na ang mag-aayos ng school papers ko, for now kailangan ko munang pumunta sa New York. I'll be with Conrad.

I silently wished na sana maging maayos na ang lahat.
