Between us [GL'S SERIES #2]

CHAPTER 51- TAKE HER BACK

"aelia?" my eyes turn to someone when safira was asking me to come with her "can we talk?" ez asked hopefully

my eyes narrowed to the girl infront of me, she's also looking at him, but now something has change to her expression its like the atmosphere becomes darker and dull

"s-sure" i stuttered not wanting to leave the girl infront of me alone, i looked at her apologizing her hair is messy already dahil sa lakas ng hangin but despite of it she still looks beautiful she's just wearing a thin sea through and a bra inside of it with her black shorts

her eyes narrowed at me and nod, hindi pa man ko paman inaalis ang tingin sakanya ay blanko na itong tumalikod at naglakad palayo

this moment i can't understand myself, i want to stop her from leaving i wanna come with her instead but i know that feeling is totally wrong, in an instand i can't understand myself again as if i'm being not of myself anymore

"let's go?" i  lowly told ez as he grab my hand and nod

"what is this?" i asked him when i saw a set up table in the rooftop of this hotel we're staying in

he held my hand and guide me to sit down

"i just wanted to take you on a date tonight.." he says and pour our glass a wine "sorry" he whispered

"thats okay ez, i understand" malungkot na sagot ko at marahang inabot ang kamay niya "look ez i'm sorry okay?" i softly stared at him

"hindi mo naiintindihan ael" umiling ito na kinapagtaka ko "you don't have to say sorry to me okay? i totally understand i should, but sadly i can't accept it and didn't want to accept it" matagal lang akong nakatingin dito as if pinoproseso ang mga sinabi niya

now i don't understand him

"ael, i want to cherish this moment with you.." napakagat ako sa labi

"what are you saying" i seriously asked

i saw how he clenched his jaw and locking his eyes on the glass he's holding

"this might be the last time i'll be on a date with you.. i love you so much alam mo yon diba?" a tear drop on his eyes at ngayon ay naguguluhan parin akong nakatingin sakanya "but ael hindi ko na kayang magbulagbulagan pa" malungkot siyang tumingin sakin, i can't close my eyes because if i do i'm sure there's a tear na mahuhulog mula rito "you love her that much.. niligawan kita despite of knowing that" he drop his glass on the table at hinigit ang dalawang kamay ko mula sa lamesa he's just squeezing my hand softly "alam mo bang nahuhuli kita minsan na iniiyakan yung picture niya, the photo film on your wallet the moment i saw her singing on stage i knew it was her i though sa tagal ng taon na magkasama tayo you finally forgot about her i though i made you forget her.. everytime i'm with you i always see you looking at her and i wonder if you wish you're with her instead.." he smile but there's a pain on it

ng hindi kona makayanan ay mahina nakong napahikbi "you tried my love, but you fail.." and that hit me again

"i brought you on amusement park on our first date in australia and i knew back then you remembered something because the whole time you look so sad.. and that moment you cried whole night in your room while looking to your photo with her, you remember?" i sobbed habang nakatingin sa kamay naming magkahawak "and i promise to myself when you both cross paths again i'll bring you back to her.. but while she's not with you yet maybe i'll still have a chance to change your heart"

"ezikel.. stop" i plead

"but love i can't no longer do that.. i tried my best but it will always be her right?" he asks and squeeze my hand again

"no, please let's not go there you know i love you.. i love you ez i do believe me on that" umiiyak kong pakiusap at tumayo my heart is breaking in pieces seeing him like this

he doesn't deserve this, he's the best guy i ever had

i hugged her when he suddenly stood up to catch my arms he pat my back at kinulong ang mukha neto sa leeg ko i felt his tears on my skin

he's crying..

"i believe you baby, you do i know..but the love you had with her.. that cannot be replace" he whispered softly "i just wanted you to be happy my love.."

sapphire's pov

we're already in manila, and by that i didn't get a chance to talked to her for the last time she didn't even glance at me for the whole time earlier she behave herself like something is bothering her

i don't even know where's she's staying dahil nawala nalang siya kanina when we reach the airport going back here, i'm in a deep thoughts when i remember eliana, she's with me now kagagaling lang namin sa hospital because her doctor called

i bet she knows about eli's condition now knowing she has the connection all of this time

"eli" her eyes narrowed at me stealing her attention she's busy staring at something while laying on her bed "penny for your thoughts?" i asked and sit infront of her

she smile gently and held my hand to guide me sit beside her "i don't want you to do it, i don't want them stitching your heart i don't you to risk it" i lowly says while side eyeing her "but somehow i want you to do it, because it's the only way.." i told her while locking my arms on her, we talked to her doctor earlier she has a hole on her heart and it's getting worse we don't have any choice to take the plan b because there's no suitable donor for her and that plan b sucks because thats too risky for her its 50/50 chance she'll survive

"like you said its only way sappy" she says and blink her eyes for a second "i'm planning to do it and to make it don't worry that much" she says softly while caressing my hand "but.."

i waited for her next word as she leaned her head on my shoulder "do me a favor.. fetch my sister for me please? it's time for you take her back sapphire" my brow kneeted

"eliana, i've moved on from her" i surely said but its feels like i'm lying.. am i?

"you're not good at it sappy.. thats why we're best friend i admit i like you but sappy even if i do i know you will not repricocate this feelings of mine, you're just here to take care of me and i don't know how to thanked you for that because you never left" she cupped my face and made me look at her "its time for your own good, take the girl you want okay? i know you still love her, that eyes of yours will never lie" she chuckled softly and let go of me

"besides.. for once i want to make my sister happy s-so please take her back with you and i want you both beside me when i do the surgery.. please"

i sighed "she has boyfriend.. she don't l-love me anymore" iwas tinging sabi ko rito, pinakatitigan lang ako nito at mahinang natawa

"listen to me for once sap take a risk for her alright? her flight is later evening and i want you to try.. for you and for her" gulat ko siyang tinignan

how'd she know?
