"Keep me safe"

Sheliah Santibañez

Nagulat kaming lahat sa ginawa ni Art. I never knew he knows how to do that. Ang angas hun.

"Bitawan mo ako Antonio." mahinang sambit ni Lio.

"I'd never do that." tugon ni Art. Lalo niya pang idiniin ang pagkakahawak niya sa batok at braso nito. Inilapit ni Art ang kaniyang bibig sa tenga ni Lio.

Bigla naman itong natahimik. Nagsilapitan na ang mga pulis sa kinatatayuan naming dalawa. Hawak-hawak pa din ni Art ang batok nito habang itinatayo ni si Lio. "Remember what I just said. I know how to keep my words. Carlo." pwersahan niyang binitawan ang pagkakahawak dito.

Agad na pinosasan ng mga pulis si Lio at dinala sa sasakyan patungong prisinto. Is this the end? Maayos na ba ang lahat?

I looked around at the place. Some people had left because they were terrified of Lio's faulty actions, and some stayed to watch. Sa tingin ko, itinigil nila ang pag-broadcast simula nang maglabas ng baril si Lio. It's inappropriate for the National Television.

Art leaned closer to me and our eyes met. I've never seen him this relieved in 2 years, the last time I saw the sparks in his eyes and a gleaming smile is when I said "yes" to his proposal. Inalis niya ang inilagay kong upuan sa gitna at tumayo siya doon.

Inilibot niya ang kaniyang paningin habang naghahanap ng mga salitang kailangan niyang sabihin. When he looked at my brother, they all smiled at him. When he looked at my friends who's been here since I started talking. They smiled at him.

And when he looked at me once again, I smiled at him.

Inayos niya ang kaniyang sarili at humarap siya sa mga guest ng kasal sana nila ni Monica.

"To all the people whom I've known and I've never known before, I offer you my sincere apology for all the things that you saw and heard right now. I know all of you must be confused on what just happened, I am too."

"What you heard from Liah Sants are true. No more explanation, the words that she has spoken will stay on that matter. I can't explain the things that has happened better than her summarized one. But I know one thing that I can tell to all of you." napansin kong nagpatuloy na ulit sa pag-shoshoot ang mga camera man kay Art. There are 3 cameras in front of him right now, far enough do that people can still see him.

"Mahal ko si Liah. My Sheliah. Gagawin ko ang lahat para lang maprotektahan ko ang babaeng mahal na mahal ko, I've hurted her for so long and I don't want to add more. I am not going to marry Monica Luzarli. Not in this life or in another life."

All the words that he's saying right now can't process through my brain. Art...

"I want the whole world to know how much I love this girl and how much she sacrificed a lot for the both of us. She's the strongest woman I've ever known next to my mother. Who passed away lately. And to the man who's always been on beside her. My father, Dramon Antonio... Who passed away after she died."

What...

Why... Why didn't I knew this? Why, why he kept it from us? He mourned on his own. Did Lucas knew it?
