Unexpectedly Falling For You

45

Aika: Trish, Cedrick umuwi na tayo.

Both Tricia and Cedrick were dumbfounded with what they've heard.

Cedrick eyes were concerned. He asked her.

Cedrick: Ate Aiks. Paano si kuya?

Aika was silent.She can't look at Cedrick. She was hesitating. She didn't want to leave but
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
This time she had to.
.
.
.
.
.

Cha walked out the room. Seeing Aika's hesitation, she decided to help .

She answered for Aika as she said.
.
.
.

Cha: Don't worry. I'll take care of him.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Aika, hearing Cha's words, lowered her head, now, not hesitating as she left
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
She left without seeing him.

Tricia: Ate!!

Tricia followed her but Cedrick stayed.

Still confused on what happened. He knew Cha did something.

Cedrick: What did you do, Cha!?

Cha smiled at him as she confidently said to him
.
.
.
.
.

Cha: I didn't do anything Cedrick,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

..
.
She made the decision by herself.

Setting: Airport

Tricia and Aika boarded the plane going back to the Philippines and arrived at the country.

Aika was silent the whole trip. She was just staring at the window, lifeless and lost.

Tricia looked at her sister. She wasn't herself. She was walking but not knowing the direction she's headed to.

Tricia: Ate.

Tricia called but Aika didn't respond. She didn't even looked at her.

Tricia: Ate, Kuya Caesar needs you.

Aika, stopped walking.  But she didn't respond.

Tricia: Ate....

This time she had enough.

Aika: Trish tama na. Please.

Tricia, looked at her, this look, the same look she had when she lost everything before.

Tricia: Ate, don't make this mistake please.

Aika stayed silent.

Tricia: Ate...

Aika heard her. Was this a mistake? Was she really doing this? She hesitated. But as she closed her eyes she remembered why she had to this.

She remembered why she decided to.
.
.
.

It was because of him.

It was all because of him.

For him to be happy, to live, to survive.

Even if it meant her leaving him.

Ganun naman talaga diba pagmahal mo. Gagawin at gagawin mo ang lahat para sa kanya kahit na masaktan ka or nasasaktan kana.

Aika: This is not a mistake Trish.

That's right it's not a mistake. It's not a mistake to save someone you love.

Tricia: But ate, you love him..

And that she did, she loved him very much. So much that her heart was longing for him every time.

But this time, she had to deny.

She had to deny the one she loved the most. The one she longed the most.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And choose a path, different from where she wanted to be.
.
.
The path where he would surely hate her.

Tricia: Ate this is not you.

Tricia was pushing her too much to wake her up.

Just then, as Tricia wanted to know the truth, a man walked near Aika. Holding her hand. Lifting her face and kissed her lips.

Tricia was horrified.
.
.
.
It was Eugene.

But that time, Tricia wasn't horrified seeing Eugene kissing her.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The one thing that horrified her the most was seeing, Aika, not denying it.
Kissing him too.

Eugene broke off the kiss and smiled at her. Greeting her.

Eugene: Welcome back mahal.

Tricia wanted Aika to stop. This time raising her voice believing she would wake up from all of this.

Tricia: Ate!! Stop this please!!!

Aika, hearing Tricia, looked at her sister and smiled.

She smiled but her eyes were sad, depressed and longing for someone else.

This time she answered her.

Aika: Maybe people change Trish.
Maybe that's just how it is.
One day you love him, one day you don't.
But isa lang alam ko.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Trish, this will be the greatest decision I will never regret.
