Knowing HEZEKIEL (Completed)

Chapter 33

Halos tumakbo ako papunta sa unit ni Lola Annie. She's the one who need to see this. Alam kong kaya niyang ipaliwanag sakin kung ano mang nararadmaman ko ngayon. But I was surprise when I saw who's with her at the sofa.

"Hi hija, nandito ang anak ko. Halika." Pero hindi ko magawang ihakbang ang paa ko. But when her daughter looks at me, I was taken aback.

"Zoe?" Miss Devera was surprise too. Siya ang anak ni Lola Annie? Hindi. Paano ko sasabihin sa kanya? Paano ko ipapaliwanag sa kanya?

"Ahh. Hindi na po. Dumaan lang po ako. Sige po." Then I hurriedly went out. Alam kong naguluhan silang dalawa sa kinikilos ko pero kailangan ko nang puntahan si Hezekiel. The situation was getting me insane. Hindi ko na alam kong sinong dapat kong pagkatiwalaan.

I hurriedly went to my unit at pagbukas ko pa lang ng pinto ay sumalubong na sakin si Hezekiel. He's smiling ear to ear that made me cry again. Bakit ba siya ganito?

"Hi Yana!" he happily exclaim. For a second I just look at him intently. But the moment his smile faded, I automatically thrown myself at him. "Whoaahh. May maganda bang nangyari sayo ngayon? Makayakap ka ha. Gusto mo gahasain kita?"

But I hug him even tighter. Gusto kong iparamdam sa kanya kung gaano ako kasaya na nakilala ko siya, kung gaano ako naging totoo sa sarili ko dahil sa kanya. I want him to feel how he change me, how he valued me. Na kahit sa ganitong paraan masabi ko sa kanyang hindi ko pinagsisihan na pinili ko siyang makasama kahit pa nasira yong lahat-lahat sakin. He's more than worth everything.

"I love you." he whispered. I just nodded. He hug me too. Hug me as if it's the first time. With him, everything was always a first time.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." My sobs are getting louder. "If you should have told me, if you should have taken the chance to appear in front of me. . . you know I'll always make up on you. Hindi ako mahirap lapitan, alam mo yon. Pero bakit mo ginawa yon? Why didn't you just introduce yourself? Ha? Bakit kailangan mo pang maging stalker? Why. ."

But I was cut off when he kiss me. He kiss me intimately that all I had to do is to shut my eyes and cry even more. Naramdaman ko na lang na pinunasan niya ang mata ko kaya napadilat ako.

"Shhh. Stop crying, will you? It's done. I'm already dead and you don't have to say sorry over and over again." He cupped my face and look at me closely. "I love you and I always will. Just don't mind what happen to me. Pabayaan mo na lang sila. Maging masaya na lang tayo, please?"

I shook my head. "No Hezekiel! You don't deserve any of this. You were killed."

"Shhh. . it's done Yana."

"You were murdered Hezekiel." I shouted. Sandali niya akong tinitigan bago niya binitawan ang mukha ko. I even saw him painted a sad smile bago niya ako tinalikuran. I gasp in realization. His wings. . . are now all healed.

"3 more days and I'll be gone."

"No. You won't do that."
