Chapter 30: Revelation

Oli

Memories of what happened last night lingered on my mind. Last night, when she walked away I feel like it's her way of saying good bye. Na tuluyan ng mawawala yung Jillian na nakilala ko.

But again, I chose to say nothing. I choose to let her walk away from me without telling her how much she means to me. How she made my life for the past years are worth living because I have her beside me.

I just let her walk away with pain in her heart because I cannot love her the same way she love me.

I clearly understood where she's coming from. I clearly understood that she needed space away from me to heal the pain that I inflicted on her heart.

If only I can, if I can only tell my heart who to love I know without any second thoughts I will choose her. Siya ang pipiliin kong mahalin para lang manatili siya sa buhay ko. Pero hindi pwede, I can't dictate who to love dahil meron ng nag mamay ari ng puso ko.

Dahil sa malayo ang isip ko ay hindi ko namalayan that is someone approaching me with full rage.

In just a snap, bigla ko na lang naramdaman ng isang malakas na sampal sa pisngi ko.

Agad akong napatingin sa taong nasa harap ko. And I see her eyes mixed with so much pain and hate.

That made me froze for a minute. Ilang beses ko na siyang naka bangga noo but I never saw her like this.

"I hate you!" she said "and I will never forgive you for hurting her and making her leave."

Naka tingin lang ako sa kanya. Gusto ko mang mag salita pero ni walang boses na gustong lumabas sa bibig ko. I knew and I clearly understand the burst of her anger.

Ramdam kong unti unti ng dumadami ang tao sa paligid pero hindi ako makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko.

"What the hell Steph!" rinig kong sabi ng isang tinig.

But instead of feeling relief that someone will save me from this scenario at mas lalo akong nakaramdam ng kaba.

Pero ng lumapit si Trina sa akin and see her worried eyes while check on my face kahit papaano nawala yung kabang naramdaman ko kanina.

She's not mad at me?

I see her look at Steph with disappointment "Geezz Steph! What have you done?!" napa sampal na lang sa noo si Trina

"Wag kang makialam dito Trina." She seriously said

"Anong wag.. She's my friend for Pete's sake!"

"I don't care kung kaibigan mo yan! " sabay turo sa akin "I cannot forgive her for what she had done!" She directly look at me with so much anger.

But instead firing back to Steph ay agad akong hinawakan ni Trina at hinila "Let's go.. we are making a scene here!" saka patuloy na nag lakad palayo.

Ng makarating kami sa office, She immediately ransack our first aid.

"Masakit ba?" she asked with full concern while checking on my cheek

Pero umiling ako kahit na ang totoo medjo masakit yung pisngi ko.

"Bakit kasi hinayaang masampal ka ni Steph?" ngayon may halong pag ka irita ang tanong nito

"I didn't see her coming."

Nakita kong nag buntong hininga ito at kinuha yung kamay ko para hawakan ko yung yelo na nasa pisngi ko. Habang kinakalikkot pa din nito yung first aid kit namin.
