Unplanned Love - COMPLETED

Kabanata 50 - Love

Agad akong bumaba sa sasakyan niya at pumunta sa kanya. I instantly hugged her.

"Okay ka lang?" Tanong ko sakanya but she didn't even moved.

"Let's stop everything, hindi na rin tayo aalis. Tigilan mo na ang panliligaw sa akin."

Napabitaw ako sa yakap. No! She can't give me up at this very time. I can't afford to lose another person. Naguguluhan lang ito sa mga pangyayari, I just need to push her a little.

"Aurora," malambing na sabi ko. "Akala ko ba okay na? Diba aalis na tayo?"

"I'll marry Jerome. I'll proceed with the original plans."

Paramg nagsama sama na ang lahat ng problema ko sa aking sarili. I can feel that I will burst.

"Plans again! Ano bang nangyayari sa'yo! Okay na tayo nung huli ah! May nangyari ba sa mommy mo, let me shoulder everything, may problema ba?"

She didn't answer. I can feel my world's slowly crashing.

"Napakagulo mo naman eh! Hindi ka na naman sasagot! Princess, fight with me! Let's do our own plans! Don't be unfair!"

"J-jon, I need to, I have my own plans," she cried. I can't accept her reasons.

"Aurora, isama mo naman ako sa mga plano mo.. Kasi yung buhay ko nakaayon lang sa'yo eh. Hirap na hirap na kong ipagsiksikan ang sarili ko kasi hindi ko alam kung parte ba ko ng mga plano mo." tila bibigay na ko sa itsura ng binata sa harap ko," napaluhod na ako at kasabay nito ay ang pagtulo ng aking luha.

"Please, let's stop this. Wala akong choice, gustuhin ko man na sa'yo umikot lahat ng plano ko pero hindi pwede eh, kahit gustuhin ko man. Kahit na gustong gusto ko. This thing between us? It shouldn't happen. It's my fault na hinayaan kong magpatuloy ito."

"Lahat nakadepende dito, si mommy, ang publication .. at ikaw." She enumerated all the reasons. If I am one of them then why wouldn't she run with me? She can't even choose me like how I did.

"But how about you, Aurora? Don't you even think of yourself? Noong minahal kita, noong punto na pinili kita alam ko ang lahat ng ito at alam ko ang lahat ng kailangan kong sagasaan para sa'yo! Pero hindi ko magawang tignan lahat ng magiging kapalit, kasi wala eh, sa'yo lang ako nakatingin and I don't mind risking everything for you!"

"Mahal kita, Aurora. Mahal na mahal," bulong ko sakanya. Maybe my love will be an enough reason for us to fight.

"I-I can't love you, just leave me." She said. I know she's lying but she looks like that she was so sure of what she is saying.

"Are you sure? Pag itinaboy mo ko ngayon ay hindi ko alam kung makakabalik pa ko," I said and looked at me intently. I will leave if she will say yes.

"Yes leave, I-I'm in love with Jerome and I can't love you back."

Maari palang kidlatan ka ng dalawang beses? My lola just died and she... pushed me away.

Wala na ako sa sarili ngunit napili ko paring bumalik sa ospital. My mom didn't even looked at me. Si Dave naman ay natatakot parin kaya kahit anong alo ko ay hindi ito tumitigil sa pag-iyak.

Hindi ko na malaman kung anong gagawin ko and there I saw the plane tickets in my pocket. Maybe everything has a reason after all. But I still need my mom's decision.

Para makasigurado, umuwi ako and I hurriedly fixed my things. Bukas ng maaga ang flight kaya hindi dapat ako mahuli kung papayagan man. Sinubukan kong matulog sa kwarto ko but thoughts kept on running in my mind so I've decided to stay in our living room.
