Allejo Series 1 | Forsaken Memories

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

If you didn't remember something happening, was it because it never had happened? Or because you wished it hadn't?

Hinhingal ako ng ihinto ko ang sasakyan sa tapat ng mansyon. Puno ng pawis ang katawan ko. Magkahalong saya at kaba ang nararamdaman ko.

Huminga ako ng malalim bago buksan ang pintuan. Sumalubong sa akin ang tahimik na paligid.

I made up my mind. I'm going to tell him. Bahala na kung maniwala siya o hindi. I just want to tell him. Finally after, 5 years, I would be able to tell him my side.

After this, what will happen? Magiging okay na ba ang lahat? Matututunan niya na ba akong mahalin? Will we have a happy ending just like from the fairy tales?

Hindi ko namalayan ang pagngiti ko dahil sa mga naiisip ko. Iwinaksi ko muna ang mga iyon at nagsimulang maglakad.

I went upstairs to find him, but I didn't expect what I saw.

I saw a woman coming out from his room.
She was tall and gorgeous. His blonde hair was a bit messy, she was wearing a red dress, holding her red shoes.

Napaawang ang labi ko.

Who's that? Why is she here? What did she do? What did they do here?

Dinaga ng maraming tanong ang isipan ko. I gulped hard.

The woman looked at me from head to toe. I suddenly felt small.

"Babe you forgot your-"

Naestatwa ako sa kinatatayuan ko nang lumabas si Andreus. He was topless and his hair was messy too. Gusto kong isipin na mali ang akala ko ngunit kitang kita na ng dalawang mata ko.

The woman took her bag and kissed Andreus on his cheek before she walks away.

Tila sinasaksak ang puso ko sa nasaksihan ko.

Please give me the water of Lethe that numbs the heart, if they exist. I'll do anything just to have that water.

Hindi ako makagalaw. Hindi ako makahinga. Hindi ako makapagsalita. I just stared at him.

I came here to explain everything. I came back for him, ngunit ito ang sumalubong sa akin.

Mapait akong tumawa. I thought I'll experience the happy ending like cinderella. Ngunit hindi ako isang prinsesa.

He stared at me coldly. He raise a brow, wondering why I'm still standing there.

Nanatili akong nakatayo. Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko.

I bit my lower lip trying to suppress my tears, but I failed. Nag unahang tumulo ang mga luha ko habang nakaharap ako sa kaniya.

Napaawang ang labi niya nang mapagtantong umiiyak ako.

I was standing in front of him helplessly.

I laughed like a fool. " Right. I got fooled. Nakalimutan kong ikaw nga pala si Andreus Allejo," mahina kong sambit ngunit sapat para marinig niya.

Pinunasan ko ang aking mga luha at nilampasan siya papunta sa kwarto ko.

Andreus, you told me you would never let me escape from your grasp. What now? What happened?
