One Fateful Night

Chapter 15

-GWEN-

Agad tumibok ng malakas ang puso ko nang makatapak ako sa bar na naging dahilan kung bakit kami nagkakilala ni Blake. This is a high class bar, thou.

"Hoy! Tulala ka na naman dyan. Andito tayo to party." Sita sakin ni Summer.

"Oo nga, wag mo munang isipin yang problema mo!" Dagdag ni Rachel.

I just nodded.

Tama. Andito kami para magsaya.

The party was at its peak. Kaya madaming lasing. We danced, but not too much. Ay ako lang pala ang hindi masyado. Because my friends are dancing like wild animals.

Napailing ako. I wouldn't want to do the same mistake years ago. I was 20 years old when that happened. 22 na ngayon. I wonder, kamusta na kaya si Blake?

"Cr lang ako ah." Paalam ko sakanila kahit mukhang di naman nila ako naririnig.

Wala ngang pumansin saakin e.

Pagkatapos ko magbanyo ay may biglang humarang sakin.

Hinawakan nya ako sa braso.

I couldn't see him well Pero alam ko na kaagad kung sino sya.

"It's been 2 years, Gwen." Madiing sambit nya.

Amoy na amoy ko ang alak sa bibig nya. Sa totoo lang, di ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko sakanya.

One thing for sure, lalo syang pumogi.

"H-hello." I uttered. Yun lang. Tf. Yun lang nasabi ko.

He clenched his jaw.

Humigpit ang hawak nya sa braso ko.

"L-let me go, please." Sabi ko.

"You think I'll let you go? Dalawang taon kitang hinintay, nabaliw ako sa kakahanap at kakaisip kung asan ka." Bigla nya ako yinakap.

"I should be mad at you for leaving me. But fck baby, I missed you." He murmured against my neck.

He closed his eyes, "The two years without you made me realize so many things."

"And you know what? After 2 years, I'm still in love with you."

Then, he passed out.

*****

Nasa sasakyan ako ng kaibigan nyang si Gideon. Ako na daw maghatid kay Blake sa bahay nila.

"So, you are Gwen huh?" Gideon said.

I nodded.

"He waited for you. 2 years, and he suffered a lot." I know. Of course, I know that.

"He cried, araw-araw. Pero ngayon, hindi na. Aside from the fact na parang wala sya sa sarili nya, lagi nyang sinasabi saamin na hinihintay ka daw nya." Hinayaan ko lang syang magsalita.

"Wag mo na syang saktan. He became a mess since you left. I've seen how he got drunk. You left him alone and devastated, Gwen."

He cares for his friend. Who wouldn't?

Ipinark nya ang kotse sa tapat ng malaki at puting bahay.

May nagbukas ng gate. Si Gideon na ang nagbuhat kay Blake paakyat sa kwarto nya.

"Buti tulog na sila tita, kundi ie- interrogate ka nila tita." He jokingly said.

"Take care of him, aryt?" Gideon smiled.

Napatitig ako kay Blake na nakahiga sa kama ngayon.

I removed his clothes at pinalitan ito ng bago. I asked for warm water at pinunasan ko sya.

"Gwen." He moved a little bit.

"I-i love you." He whispered.

"Come back please." At unti-unti nyang dinilat ang mga mata nya.

Bigla syang napaupo.

"Gwen?" Then he shook his head.

"Impossible. Ano bang pake mo sakin?" He chuckled.

"Hindi na bago sakin ang panaginip na ito. And I'm still hoping na balikan mo ako." Gayon ma lamang ang gulat ko nang tumulo ang luha sa mata nya.

"I love you. Please. Take me back. Never mind the reason why you left, just please take me back."

Nilapitan ko sya at niyakap. He hugged me tight.

"Hindi ako makausad. Sobrang hirap. I love you." He cried hard.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered.

"That's all I want to hear from you. I want you to be sorry because you left me."

I'm truly sorry, and will always be.
