Chapter 59: Fool

"I wanted you to feel how much I love you. Yeah, it was just a kiss on the forehead but through it, you will be able to feel how sincere my love is for you."

His words... it keeps echoing in my mind. Yung mga salita niya, paulit-ulit na nagre-replay sa isipan ko na para bang sirang plaka.

Bakit ganito siya? Gusto kong umiyak. I never felt this loved. I never felt this loved by anyone except my family. I have asked this a lot but I am asking this again, What did I do to deserve Dark? Bakit may nagmamahal sa akin ng ganito katindi? Bakit ako ang minahal niya?

Niyakap ko siya. He was caught off guard at first but he then hugged me back. I can smell his masculine scent and I inhaled it. Even his perfume comforts me.

Sana ayos na lang ang lahat. Sana wala kami rito. Sana'y malaya kami... Pero kung hindi ako napadpad rito, makikilala ko kaya si Dark? Is this a good thing that I am trapped here?

Bumuntong hininga ako. Gusto ko ng makalabas mula sa unibersidad na ito. Ayoko ng magtagal rito. Gusto kong maging maayos ang pamumuhay ko... and I want Dark to be with me. Gusto kong mamuhay kaming dalawa ng malaya.

I felt a tear shed from my eyes. Agad namang kumalas sa pagkakayakap sa akin si Dark. He looked at me with concern.

"Hey baby, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili kong humagulgol. Agad niya namang pinunasan ang aking mga luha. His touch on my skin brings shivers in me.

Ilang minuto pa bago natapos ang aking pag-iyak. Hinintay lang naman ako ni Dark na matapos. He gave me time.

Pinunasan niya ulit ang aking mga luha gamit ang kanyang mga daliri.

"K-Kaya ba natin ang lahat ng 'to, Dark?" Nauutal kong tanong habang pinipigilan ang sariling umiyak muli.

"What do you mean?"

"This... all of this. Kakayanin ba natin lahat ng mga pagsubok na ating nararanasan ngayon?"

His face softened even more. "Of course. Kakayanin natin lahat ng ito. God's with us and with God, we will be free. He's there for us."

I hugged him again and the tears I tried to hold back, rushed down my cheeks. Pero gumaan naman kahit papaano ang aking pakiramdam.

Dark's right. When God's with us, who could be against us? Malalampasan namin lahat ng pagsubok. We will get through this.

Gusto sana ni Julia na dito na magpalipas ng gabi si Dark. Pero nagprotesta naman ako dahil saan naman siya matutulog? Mahihirapan siya sa kung sa sofa siya matutulog! At hindi naman pwede na magtabi kami sa pagtulog! Damn, the thought brings shivers to my spine!

It's already past nine and I am laying down on my bed. Dahil may bintana malapit sa akin, kitang-kita ko ang mga puno. The leaves of the trees are swishing because of the wind. Isinara ko lamang ang bintana sapagkat masyadong maginaw.

I looked at the moon and the stars. And I can't stop myself from thinking of the feelings I have. When Dark is there, I feel like my heart is about to burst at any second. Matindi ang tibok ng aking puso kapag nararamdaman ko ang presensiya niya.

The stars are twinkling and the moon is so beautiful in my sight. Masyadong mahangin rin at malalaman mo talaga na humahangin sapagkat ang mga dahon ng mga puno ay nililipad.

I feel calm right now. I feel at peace. At kanina, nag-usap kami ni Dark tungkol sa kapangyarihan. He knows a lot of information about the rarest power. Pinag-aralan niya talaga ang tungkol dito habang ako, hindi ko man lang namalayan na may kapangyarihan pala ako! I just found out about it now!
