" Gavin why are you so cruel?" She looked at him with pain in her eyes. " Why can't you give me the reason to stay?" Tila nagmamakaawa na Turan nya sa binatang katulad Ng dati ay Wala pa ding emosyon Ang mga mata.
" Catalina, Do you really want to stay with me?" He smiled but it's just full of sadness. " I don't know why you're mad at me. Suddenly leaving without explaining yourself. You begged me to let you go. You'll say you will be happy if I did." He stepped forwards. Making the distance between them shorter." So I let you go."
" How can you easily let me go?" She burst into tears. " Gavin, If I tell you to die. Will you do that?!" Galit na sigaw nya.
" If that makes you happy---- I."
" Enough!" Tinakpan niya Ang dalawang Tenga. " How can you be so selfless. Bakit Hindi mo sa akin sabihin kung Anong nasa puso mo? Why can't you tell me what you really want, Gavin?" She shook her head and looked at him. Tears keep falling into her eyes as her hand fall down. Losing any hope.
" If I do that. You'll get hurt." Paos na sagot ni Gavin as He continues to step forward and touch her face.
" Hurt?" Catalina looked at him with pain in her eyes. " Gavin, Do you think I am not hurting right now?" She clenched her fist. " It hurts! It hurts so much! Don't you really know that?!" She looked directly into his eyes, who just like usual doesn't have emotion at all.
Hinawakan ni Gavin Ang kamay nyang kanina ay nakakuyom. Holding it as if Catalina is some crystal that she should take care. Iginaya nya Ang kamay Ng dalaga sa Mukha nya. " You hate me." Finally there was a chance of his emotion. Its sadness. " Do you forget that too?" Tanong nito na nakapag paatras sa dalaga.
" Yes." She shook her head violently as if she just realized something. " I hate you." She touched his face more gently. " I hate you so much." Muling tumulo Ang luha sa mga mata nya. " So, What I am holding to?" Her voice broke.
She nodded looking at him with pain in her eyes." At my 7th birthday. I threw the cake into your face. Saying you are a monster. Right?" Aniya as a painful smile appears on her lips.
" Happy birthday Catalina."
" What are you doing here? Did I invite you?" Walang Buhay syang tiningnan Ng batang Catalina. There's a disguise seen in her beautiful face. " Look at you. Muka ka bang attendiNg party? Look at the way you dress. Are you really the Dremor Clan young master?" Puno Ng pag iinsulto na sambit Ng batang Catalina at tiningnan sya Mula ulo Hanggang paa.
But the young Gavin doesn't mind at all. He stepped forward. Handing his gift to her.
" Happy birthday Catalina." There was no smile on his face while saying that word that make Catalina heart consumes anxiousness.
" It's because I hate you so much. Right?"
" I don't need your gift." She looked at him with disgust. " How can you greet me without any expression on your face? You're really a monster." Punong Puno Ng pandidiri na Turan nya at tinulak ito.
The young Gavin doesn't even move at his place. " I work hard to made this for you." Patuloy nitong inilahad Ang regalo sa batang Catalina.
" I say I don't need your Gift!" Sigaw nya.
" Catalina i-----"
" I say I don't need it!" Tinabig nya Ang regalo nito kaya nalaglag sa lupa. " I don't need any gift from you. I don't even want to be near you. You monster." She stomped on that gift also stepping into his heart into pieces.
" Without knowing. What have you done just to give me that gift?" She starts to tremble. " I destroy that because I hate you." It feels like she couldn't breathe. " I hate you so much, right?"
***** ( This memory is From the Necklace)****
I am Here Again? In this Dark Alley?
Catalina continues walking until the whole place become brighter.
" Brother, What are you holding?" In Front of her. Two figured showed. It was Eleanor and Gavin.
Catalina tears to fall in her eyes as she watches him in his young self again.
The white shirt that he is wearing are completely covered in blood and she can see Lashes on some of his body.
During this time. He was just a 7 years old boy? How can he endure this?
" Isn't it beautiful?" Even with those wounds. Gavin's expression and face remain the same. It's lifeless.
Catalina stepped forward and she clenched her fist to endure the pain when he saw the thing that Gavin is holding for.
" It's look like her. That Catalina?" The young Eleanor guess with a disgust in her face.
" I sculpt this when I am in that forest. Her birthday will be today right? So I'm gonna greet her and give her this." The young Gavin caress the wooden. There was no emotion in his face but he looked at the doll as it was the most precious thing in the world.
" But brother. Father won't even let you leave if you killed that man. Moreover, Catalina hated you. You're just gonna get hurt."
" It's okay Eleanor. I just wanted to greet her. It will be okay."
*****
Her other hand also touched his face. Her tears continue to fall from her eyes. Full of pain and regret.
At the age of 7 years old. You killed someone with your little hands. To attend my birthday. You need to receive lashes from your own father but in the end. I destroy that gift that you worked so hard for.
" you became the monster in everyone eyes because of me." She gently caresses his face. Looking at him directly in the eyes. " That's why I hate you so much."
" This ice cream is good." Catalina seated on the bench and smiled. " It's my favorite flavor." In her perceptual version. He saw a shadow not far away from her.
It was Gavin... She knew that she was the one who gave her everything.
She notices him, that's why she hates him. Following him like a shadow without showing it. Saving him like a hero without getting the credit on him. He was so weak that's why she hated him because he didn't have the courage to say that he loved her despite that she was the monster who destroyed him.
" Stop Following me. You monster" Nilingon nya Ang binatang patuloy sa kanya.
" But Catalina. You offend those girls. I'm afraid."
Catalina roller her eyes at him. " Pwede ba. Don't act as if you care. Ayokong mapalapit sa inyo and I also doesn't need your protection. Stay away from me you monster." Muli nya itong tinalikuran.
Why did she hate Gavin?
She once again turned around to see if he is still following her but she doesn't see him anymore.
" Really so obedient." Bulong nya sa sarili as a smile appear on her lips.
Is it because he's a stalker? Who followed her everywhere?
" What little Princess of the Abestreu Clan. You're just a brat! Sa takot ay napapikit si Catalina.
She doesn't know that the one that she fights in the afternoon will bring a gang to hurt her.
Isang Tao Ang yumakap SA kanya at protektahan sya. Sinalo nito Ang mga sipa at Palo Ng mga lalaking sumugod SA dalaga.
When Catalina opened her eyes. Nakatumba na Ang mga lalaki na sumunod SA kanya.
Is it because he would save her whenever she needed him?
" What happened?" When she opened her eyes. She just saw those men that wanted to hurt her lying down.
He would disappear without any trace. He would watch her again.. like a shadow..
Inangat Ni Catalina Ang mukha at napangiti Ng Makita si Marcos at Annika na parating.
" Marcos, You save me."
Or it because he would disappear without any trace. He would watch her again like a shadow..
" Another gift again? I told you Hindi kita mamahalin kahit Anong gawin mo. I only loved Marcos." Ibinato niya Ang regalong natanggap niya Mula dito. In every birthday of her. He would give her gifts even though he know she would just throw it away.
" Are you blind? Stupid? Can't you see that I am disgusted by you." She pushed him. Walang pakialam kahit pagtitinginan Sila.
Is it because you don't have any emotion? Whether you're happy or sad. You can't show it.
" I just want your happiness."
Catalina just smirks. " If you want my happiness then disappear from my sight. I never wanted to see you." Then she turned. Leaving him.
He would choose to be a shadow. He would choose to be anyone as long as she is happy.
" Don't even hurt Marcos again." Mariin na sambit nya sa binata na katulad Ng dati Wala pa ding emosyon Ang mga mata.
" But he will hurt you." Giit nito.
" Ano Naman sayo kung saktan nya ko? I choose him? I love him. So don't hurt him even if he killed you. Don't do anything. Just be a robot who doesn't feel anything." She was about to leave when Gavin held her arm. Stopping her.
" You want my happiness right then watch me love him. It's my happiness."
Is it because no matter how much I hurt you? You will still stand beside me as if I didn't ruin you?
" If your happiness was him then I will give it."
Hindi makapaniwala na napatingin sa kanya SI Catalina.
" You're really so stupid."
" I do that because I love you."
" What a pity. I hate you."
Or is it because you love me?
" Run! Catalina!"
Or is it because you killed me?
" I should never love you."
" Don't cry." Gavin wiped the tears that fell into Catalina's eyes. " Why do I hate you so much?" She hold the hand of Gavin that was wiping his tears. " Why?"
She felt like she was going crazy as the pain in her heart increased. " Why do I hate you so much?" Napahagulgol na sya Ng iyak.
Aleana wasn't right because she noticed him. She noticed everything that he did. SHe notices everything he gives up. That's why she hates him because how can he love her when she was the person who destroyed him in all possible way.
She was his only hope but she destroyed him too.
So why did he love her so much when in fact she was the reason for his pain?
" Don't cry. Catalina." Gavin begged but she shook her head violently. " Is it my karma?Is it your revenge?!" Her hand whos touching Gavin face falls down. Losing its energy.
" That's why you saved me. Then killed me?" She stepped backwards and laughed like crazy. " You gave me hope but you are actually the one who made me lose it?" She shook her head again. " Why is this revenge so hard? Why it so painful?!" Sigaw nya.
Gavin tried to reach again but she stepped backwards.
" Why saved me and killed me in the end? Why give me hope and then destroy it in the end? Why Gavin?!" She looked at him demanding the answer.
It was Now Gavin who shook his head." Catalina. I never did anything. The one that you're talking to isn't me." Aniya na may kasamang pag iling.
" Aren't you?" She laughed. " When you're the same person."
" Why can't you let go of the past if it is hurting you so much?"
" Let go?" She stepped forward. Facing him again. " How about you Gavin? Can you forget if I killed you after I said I love you?" Sunod sunod na tanong niya with pain in her voice.
" Yes." Walang alinlangan na sagot Ng binata. " Because only by forgetting those. I can love you." He touched her face. " Instead of facing those nightmares. I choose you." He said as he touched her face. Gently as possible.
" Catalina family. Is the reason for your pain Gavin? She hated you. Never knowing what you did for her? The bullet in your body was caused by her? The lashes were because you wanted her? Without her knowing what you've done? She even hates you! Will you still continue to hold on despite that?!" Galit na tanong ni Alexander sa nakaluhod nyang Anak sa kanyang harapan.
" It was not Catalina fault. Father." Mariin na sagot nito even though bloods are already dripping in his teenager body. He gritted his teeth Ng maramdaman niya Ang latigo sa katawan.
" She called you a monster. She hates you so much! Is this really a necessary sacrifice Gavin?" There was a mocking smile on Alexander lip.
" As long as she is happy. I can forget." He gritted his teeth as he felt another lashes in his body.
" Gavin, Do you forget what the Abestreu Clan did to us? The reason why you are hurting like this?!" Sigaw Ng kanyang Ama na tila Hindi na mapigilan Ang Galit.
" Did you forget that the Abestreu Clan killed my wife. Your Mother?!"
" I won't dare. Father."
" Stop loving the daughter of the family who ruined us. in that way you won't get hurt. Do you understand Gavin."
" Yes. father."
He wiped the tears that continued falling into her eyes. " If I don't forget. How can I love you? If I choose to ignore it. I can be beside you. Isn't it more important than the past that passed by?" Tanong nya.
" If you want the truth and the love of my grandchild. Catalina then you can die for her." The old man who was sitting on his chair in the Abestreu Manson looked at the teenager Gavin with a mischievous smile on his lips. Beside him. Is the parents of the woman that he loved the most.
" What do you want me to do?"
From her face. Gavin touches her hair gently caressing it.
" Just for you. I can forget everything."
" You're really the Dremor Clan only heir." Puno Ng papuri nasambit ni Dew. Ang siyang ama ni Cain at Catalina Saka inalalayan Ang Bata palabas. Puno Ng galos at dugo Ang buong katawan nito.
" Even if you're a daughter." Of the family who manipulated me to killed my own father and the family who ruined the Dremor Clan.
" Very good. Gavin."
" I can forget everything."
That your family killed my mother. The reason why my father got insane was because of your family. That your family was the reason why my little sister lived like this. The reason why I am suffering like this was because of them.
" I can forget everything for you."
Even though the one that ruined me was you. I can forget. Even If you killed me a lot of time. I can forget. Even if you keep on betraying me. I can forget.
" Because you are Catalina."
The Dremor Clan was once a happy family. It's beautiful. Full of laughter. Warmth.
The Dremor Clan Lady. Gavin and Eleanor Mother were like their Light. They guide them to everything but one day. She died.
After that time. The Dremor Clan also died including their heart and end up like this.
" So why can't you forget the past?" His hands fall down. Losing any energy. " Just like me." He shook his head as if realizing something.
What am I saying? When I know that the both of us? Isn't even possible? Why persuade her when it's impossible?
" I just wanted your happiness." He smiled but that smile only contained sadness. " Perhaps not just with me." He turned around and walked away.
Forget? Aren't you? Can I do that?
She looked at the necklace that is in her hand and to Gavin who's walking away from her.
Her hurt hurts so much. It feels like it's splitting apart? Why can't she just forget if it really does hurt? Can she just forget so that she can be happy with him?
If she forgets the past. She can stay with him. Isn't it right,?
" Gavin." She called his name but he didn't turn around.
Forget it and be happy with him...
"You'll never leave me right, Hubby?"
" As long as you want me to stay. I will never leave."
Forget it and be with him.
" Gavin!" Sigaw nya but he still didn't turn around.
Forget it and love him.
" Gavin!" She started to run to his direction.
Forget it and be happy with him.
" You said you wanted my happiness. What if it's you. Will you give it to me?!" Sigaw nya. Finally Gavin stopped. So does she.
Not far away from them. Nez and Leo are watching but they can't hear what they are saying.
" I feel like I was watching a drama without volume." Komento ni Nez matapos punasan Ang luha sa mga mata.
" Are you gay? Why cry?" Naiirita na lumayo sa kanya SI Leo.
" I am not cold-hearted like you that's why I cry." Nilapitan nya ito. " But what are they fighting for? It seems so serious. Will Miss really leave the Dremor Clan?" Sa tanong na iyon ni Nez. Natahimik silang Lahat.
Afterall even if they don't say it. In their heart they already recognize Catalina as their Miss not maybe fully but at least they recognize her.
" You said you want me to be happy. Will you still leave me if I tell you. You are my happiness?" She continued to walk into his direction.
Forget! As long as they forget the past. They can be happy.
She stopped In Front of him.
She smiled. " Gavin, Won't you answer me?" She asked directly, looking at him.
" I want your happiness." He answered her in a second.
" Then don't leave. Don't let me go." She circled her hand in Gavin's neck like hugging him. " Because my happiness is with you." She smiled even though there were still tears in her beautiful face. " I love you Gavin." Finally she can say this word completely.
Just forget everything...
Gavin looked at her in shock. Can't believe what he just heard.
" Let's forget the past like you said and be happy with the present." She kissed him. " Alright?" Muling tanong nya Ng manatiling Tahimik Ang binata.
Forget everything and be with him.
He clenched his fist. As if stopping himself from answering her but as soon as Catalina gives him another kiss. All his will to stop shattered.
" Alright." Sagot nito. " I love you Catalina." Saka kinabig Ang batok nya at mariin na hinalikan sya. " Let's forget together." The both of them share a kiss more instantly than before.
Both of them choose to forget the pain of the past. Together...
As they kissed each other. Missing each other so much. Both of them didn't notice the glow in the necklace and As soon as the glow disappeared. A crack appeared in the necklace pendant.
But can they really forget? The past?
