End Game 3

"Your secret has its consequence"

Sheliah Santibañez

Loving can hurt but loving can cure.  Ito yung exact quote na bagay sa akin, we both gained pain but in the end that love becomes our cure and we were finally healing.

Hinaplos ko ang pisngi ni Art, he's still asleep. Ayoko namang gambalain ang tulog niya dahil mukhang pagod s'ya kagabi after her rehearsals.

"Never break me again. It's a command." I whisper and I rose up.

Hinanda ko na ang breakfast namin nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko. I answered the call.

"Hello? Liah Sants speaking."

"Cherish every moment and never miss a single heart beat."

Then the call ended. Kumunot ang noo ko sa nadinig. Who the hell is that man behind those call?

I drank a water at napa-tili ako nang mahulog ang baso at nabasag. Sa sobrang taranta ko pinulot ko basta-basta ang mga bubog and I got wounds. Great, just freaking great.

"Hun what happened?!" Napatingin ako sa pinto and there's Art with his messy hair and a worried face. Napatingin siya sa mga kamay ko. "Oh God."

Lumapit sya sa akin at tinayo niya ako. "I-I'm sorry, nabasag ko..."

Agad niya akong dinala sa tapat ng sink at hinugasan niya ang sugat, I should cry in pain right now pero hindi. Ang manhid ng kamay ko.

"Nasaktan ka na nga iba pa din ang iniisip mo? Sheliah ano ba? It's just a thing and I can buy tons of that pero ikaw? You're a jewelry that I can't easily buy in market and no one can replace the exact you." Art said while he's still cleaning the blood.

Napayuko ako. What is that call?

"Eat your breakfast and I'll treat your hands." He said at pinaupo niya ako.

"Huwag na Art, simpleng galos lang 'yan and that cut would close all by itself." I said and I gave a fake smile.

"Stop that smile, it's irritating." Kabisado niya na ako. Kinuha niya ang first aid kit at ginamot ang sugat sa kamay ko. I almost kick him when he pour lots of alcohol in it.

Lagay niya na lahat 'wag lang alcohol. It f*cking hurts!

Maluha-luha kong tinitigan ang dalawa kong kamay na may benda. "The alcohol is going deep my veins Art!"

"Ang OA mo, it's not an open cut and alcohol is good to clean the bacterias. Now eat." Sinubuan niya ako ng kanin at bacon.

"I can manage." Inagaw ko ang kutsara pero hindi ko naman mahawakan nang maayos ang mga Ito.

"Pasaway." Inagaw niya ito at patuloy akong sinubuan. "Bakit mo ba nabagsak ang baso? You're a type of person na maingat sa mga hinawakang gamit."

"Someone-- I mean madulas lang yung kamay ko and it slids down." I lied.

"But your hands we're dry when I touched it." He said while chewing his food.

"It's not dry, m-may dugo."

"The surface that left dry."

Hindi na ako nakasagot sa kanya, he's eyes were blank. But I can see some secrets behind it.

"How's your morning?" I asked casually like nothing's happened.

"Disaster."

"Why?"

"None, may pupuntahan tayo. Get ready hun."

Art Antonio

"Never break me again, it's a command." Sheliah said and she leaves our room.

"I can't break the wall that I already fixed." I smiled escaped from my lips.

Ilang minuto akong tumitig sa kisame habang sinisinghot ang amoy na niluluto ni Sheliah. She'll be a great mom in our kids.

Out of my imagination, biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko and someone's calling.

I answered it. "Who's this?" I asked.

"Cherish every moment and never miss a heart beat." Then the line ended.

Who's this woman? And what the f*ck is the meaning of this?

"AHHHHHHH!"

Napabangon ako sa higaan at tumakbo ako patungong kusina. "Hun what happened?" I saw her in the floor and her hands were wounded. "Oh God."

Lumapit ako patungo sa kanya and I saw her phone, so she also received that call.

This f*cked up.

Matapos naming kumain, pinag-ayos ko siya ng sarili. We gotta get away from here.

I called Autumn, Divina and her brothers. Sinabi ko sa dalawa na samahan nila si Sheliah sa isang mall while her brothers, I invited them here to pack our luggages.

I already booked a flight a week ago and I didn't expect na mapapa-aga ang alis namin. It must be her.

Dumating na sina Autumn at Divina at eksaktong bumaba si Sheliah.
"Art I'm ready-- bakit sila nandito?"

"Ay ayaw mo? Halika na Divina, ayaw satin eh."

"No-- I mean anong meron?" Sheliah asked.

"Punta muna kayong mall, may aasikasuhin lang ako and after it let's go to our destination." I smiled and I kissed her on her forehead. "It will be alright, no one can hurt you."

Shocked struck into her beautiful eyes.

"Sige ingat kayo." Hinatid ko sila sa labas ng unit. Dumating na din ang mga kuya niya at dala na ng mga Ito ang dalawang bagahe ni Sheliah.

"So dude, anong plano niyo when you both got there? Uuwi pa naman kayo diba?" Tanong ni Axel.

"Yes uuwi pa kami and it's summer. Natapos ko na lahat ng kalangang trabahuin sa studio and sa June na ang balik namin."

"Baka pag-uwi niyo may pamangkin na kami? Hindi 'yon pwede Art. You two needs to get married first." Inirapan ko na lang si Jonathan.

"I know. I respect your sister." I said.

Pumasok na kaming anim sa condo at inayos ang mga natitirang gamit ni Sheliah at ng gamit ko. Alam nilang may natanggap akong tawag at hindi na sila nag-alangan pang tulungan ako.

What a supportive future brother-in laws.

Nang matapos na kaming mag-ayos. Sinamahan nila ako sa mall kung nasaan sila Sheliah.

Bago nila kami tuluyang paghiwalayin, dadaan muna sila sa akin.

Sheliah is my life, I will risk everything... Even my own life.
