The Promise (A Ranz Kyle Fan-Fictional Story)

Chapter 25 - Take time, to realize...

"Stop crying.. I don't wanna see you cry.."

"Don't wanan see me cry? Dafudge, it's all your fault nga eh! Masakit. Pwede ba? Bitawan mo 'ko, nandidiri ako!" binitawan ko yung pagkahawak niya, at tinakpan yung bibig ko habang umiiyak.

"Oo Lani, nagkamali ako. Di ko naman kase inasahang magkaganun eh! Binigla niya ako. You don't even know the whole thing."

"WHY DO I HAVE TO KNOW HA!? PARA MALOKO NA NAMAN AKO!? SAWA NA AKO SA MABABANG PRIDE, KYLE! SAWA. NA. AKO." habang tinuturo ko ang sarili ko, emphasizing the words.. 'sawa' 'na' 'ako'.

"Please.. you don't have to leave." he begged.

I'm sorry, but that's not the point.

"I'm not leaving because of you." tumigil naman siya at tinignan ako sa mata ng seryoso. "I'm leaving just to escape the fucking reality in my life, right now" i wiped my tears tapos umalis sa harap niya.

Pero sinundan ako, hanggang sa kusina na umiinom ng tubig.

"Please, i'm sorry na kase." sabi niya pero nakatalikod ako while drinking water. "Ano? Gusto mo bang mageffort na naman ako? Please? Patawarin mo ;ko." that "mageeffort" word hit me!

"the fudge." tapos humarap sa kanya. "Sa tingin mo, about efforts ang habol ko sayo, Kyle?!" di siya kumibo. "Ha! I need love, you know!? Gago ka ba?!"

"NEED? NO ERASE! LOVE. YES. LOVE YUNG MERON. I DID NOT FALL FOR YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR EFFORTS. I FELL INLOVE WITH YOU BECAUSE IT'S MEANT FOR ME!" turo ko sa sarili ko.

"ANO BA! DO YOU THINK THOSE EFFORTS MEANS LOVE NA?! PORKET MALAKI YUNG GINAGASTO MO, LOVE NA AGAD?! KIUNG TUTUUSIN, MAS PILI KO PA YUNG SIMPLE KESA DUN EH. AND NO, DI KO SINISISI YUNG MGA NANGYARE. INFACT, THANKFUL AKO SA MGA KATULAD MO. THANK YOU HA!!! SA EFFORTS MO!!! NOW, lunukin mo yang forever, happiness, love, happy endings when i'm with you, and efforts mo!!" sabay paalis sa kanya.

Ayan na naman ako, nagagalit. Ugh. Thank you pride. Pero, guilty ako. Do i have to forgive him? Ayan kase eh. Madali akong magalit sa isang simpleng bagay.

PERO SIMPLE BA YUN!? Below the belt yun ah! Nasasarapan pa siya. Gago siya!?

"that's it?! You're just gonna leave? Grabe Lani. If you are leaving, then that means you're giving up. And by giving up, meaning dun, you're just using USA just to leave all the memories behind, then forget about it. Kase di mo kayang MAG STAND SA SARILI MO." napatigil naman ako dun.

Maybe he's right...

Why am i leaving, anyway?

I'm such a weak girl.

BUT NO.
