Keep Me
"Are you cold?" ito ang kaagad na bungad ni Chase kay Erika nang madatnan niya ito sa waiting shed. It's 10pm in the evening and it's freezing like hell. Inalis ni Chase ang kanyang ikalawang jacket na mas makapal at ipinatong niya ito kay Erika na nanginginig pa. He can withstand the cold as long as he is with her.
Kahit na nakaw na sandali lamang ang kanilang pinagtyatygahan upang magkasama silang dalawa.
Erika works for RosaKing as SalesLady in the Department Store. Pagkatapos ng ilang subok sa ibang trabaho ay dito nakapagtagal ito. Sa murang edad ay sumubok na siya sa buhay OFW.
But Erika's life wasn't that hard in a foreign country when she finally met Chase. Kahit na magkaiba ang mundong kinagisnan nila ay nararamdaman niyang pinapaikli ni Chase ang kanilang pagitan.
But there is no love that is easy. Dahil na nga sa kaibahan ng antas ng kanilang buhay ay naging kumplikado ang kanilang relasyon nang makarating ito sa Ama ni Chase.
"I'm fine now" Erika cling into his arms as they walked through that snowy road.
Chase keeps smiling as he watch Erika cook his favorite dish. Indoor date lamang ang kanilang nagagawa upang makaiwas sa kanyang magulang. But this is more than enough, seeing the woman of her dreams is just enough.
"Hmmm" Napapikit na lamang si Chase nang maamoy niya ang umuusok niyang pinggan nang inilapag ito ni Erika.
"Hindi ko kayang ipagpalit ang luto mo.." When Chase turned his head up to her she was just smiling, for longer time.. Na para bang gusto lamang ni Erika na titigan siya.
"Hindi rin kita kayang ipagpalit." He smiled.
Bigla nalang sinunggaban ni Erika ng halik si Chase nang napakalalim. Like she missed him so much. Chase didn't mind the food interruption and he kissed her back.
"I love you so much..." Napapikit na saad ni Erika sa kanya. Hindi niya maintindihan pero para bang napakasakit nang pagkakasabi ni Erika sa kanya.
"and I love you too" he responded with a sweet smile "I'll defeat everything that gets in our way. Pangako Tayo hanggang sa huli"
They enjoyed a hot and steamy night together despite of the cold weather. Everything was perfect. He wished that this night could last forever. Because he swore to his heart that Erika would be his last love.
He wished morning didn't come. He woke up alone in bed and he searched everywhere. There was no sign of Erika.
Agad na kinutoban si Chase at sinubukang niyang tawagan si Erika. But the number can't be reach.
Nakakakita si Chase ng papel na nakatupi sa lamesa. He knew it was from her, he knew she already left. Mabagal ang mga yabag niya habang palapit sa lamesa.
He had to courage somehow to take the paper.
To my Chase, I Love you so much... But this is where I should leave you. I Love you but I can't be your last love..
"If you love me.. Why'd you leave me?" ang tanging nasabi ni Chase habang mahigpit pa rin ang hawak niya sa papel.
Even after that day, Chase waited for a long time for Erika to come back, He tried searching for her. Pero para bang bula na naglaho na si Erika.
Then he realized that it wasn't always the person that is wrong. People leave even the love is still there. And love isn't always enough to make a person stay.
Kung aalis ang tao, aalis sila kahit mahal mo pa sila..
**
He should have known that by morning he can't see Erika anymore. Everything was their last. He couldn't accept it for a long time.
