Honest Goodbye [COMPLETED] #Wattys2020

Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ako ngayon. All I can see is black infinity, wearing the dress I wore on Pola's wedding.

"Hello?" I can hear the echo of my voice over and over again, 'til it stops.

Naglakad-lakad ako not knowing where I will be ended up.

"Is anyone here?"

"Hello?"

I am looking for someone, or something. Not even an ant is showing up.

Para akong nawawala sa kawalan. It's all black. All I see is nothing but black, but I don't feel any fear.

Am I dead?

Napahinto ako sa paglalakad nang maramdaman kong may lumuhod sa harapan ko.

I saw him.

This already happened days ago.

"Max, what are we doing here?" narinig ko na naman ang paulit-ulit na echo ng boses ko, at pahina nang pahina ito.

It seems like he didn't hear mex

"I'm sorry, Eyv," he cries.

Alam ko 'to. Nangyari na ito sa reception ng kasal ni Pola.

"I still love you," hawak niya ang bulaklak at inaabot iyon sa akin.

His voice echoed.

"I'm sorry, Eyv." he is still crying.

But this time, no one grabbed my hand. No one tried to stop Max.

He just says those words nonstop.

His tears are just the same.

Nauulit lang ang lahat pero sa pagkakataon na ito, I said something. I said something I didn't want to say.

"I still love you, too." words came out from my mouth. It just happened.

"Krisha!" I heard mom's voice outside the door of my room. She knocks. "Gising na, you'll be late at work,"

That was just a dream.

Or a nightmare.

Hindi ko alam.

All I know is that words came out from my mouth so sudden that I didn't see what Max reaction was.

Hindi ko alam bakit ganito. Na kahit panaginip lang ay gusto kong malaman ang naramdaman niya, gusto kong makita kung masaya ba siya.

At gusto ko ring malaman kung bakit ko nasabi 'yon.

"Krisha!" tawag ulit sa akin ni mom at narinig ko na ang yabag niya papalayo.

"A nightmare," I whispered to myself. "Always remember that, it was a nightmare." sinabi ko sa sarili ko at tuluyan na akong tumayo mula sa pagkaka-higa.

Pagkababa ko sa hagdan ay nglakad na ako pakaliwa sa dining area.

Mat is sitting beside a vacant chair. Ngumiti siya sa akin at tinapik niya ang upuan at sininyalan ako na do'n na ako umupo. "Oh, you're here early." I mumbled.

"Good morning, too" he chuckled.

Mom and Dad just laughed. "You're two cute, huh" wika ni Mom at kumuha ng bacon sa plato gamit ang tinidor niya. Nilagay niya iyon sa plato ni Mat. She seems to like him.

"Just like us," Dad kissed Mom.

That's true, I never saw them fight. If they're not okay, or they have some misunderstanding, they won't throw a fight. Hindi lang sila bigla magpapansinan. Kinabukasan ay ayos na ulit sila.
