CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
Untold stories
NARINIG kong bumukas ang pinto at napamulat ako bigla.
I looked up and saw Denver catching his breath as he ran to me.
Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at tumitig sa mga mata ko. "You don't have to do this, Feem."
Nang sabihin niya iyon ay bigla na lang akong nanlambot at nabitawan ang hawak kong bubog.
He fell to his knees, letting out a cry of relief.
A great sob escaped me as I covered my face with shaking hands.
I could feel my whole body shaking.
Tears were rolling down my cheek nonstop as he gently wrapped his arms around me.
"I-I . . ." I trailed off. "I didn't want to die. I just wanted the pain to stop. I wanted all of it to stop but I didn't know how."
Mas humigpit ang yakap niya sa 'kin at hindi siya nagsalita pa. Nanatili lang siyang tahimik habang walang tigil ang pag-iyak ko.
He wasn't there when I needed him.
But now he's here with me when I had least expected him to be.
He found me.
Kumalas siya sa yakap at saka niya kinuha ang kamay ko. Inilagay niya iyon sa pisngi niya kasabay ng pagpatak ng luha niya. "Please, never do something like that again. I'd be in great pain if I find you no longer breathing," he said in a tight voice, breathing so heavy.
I feel so stupid for almost doing it.
Nodding, I wiped his tears off his cheek. "I'm sorry," I whispered. "I'm really sorry."
***
WEEKS had already passed and our finals was over.
I haven't been seeing Trev lately. I don't know what's going on with him. Students were talking about his sudden absence because he's not normally like that. Attendance was always important to him, but now he didn't even get the chance to take the finals exams because he's not been attending the class for the whole week.
Palagi nilang tinatanong si Rara kung anong nangyari kay Trev, pero hindi rin naman sila sinasagot ni Rara.
Why am I even thinking about the twins?
I shook my head and got them off my mind.
Okay naman 'yong naging grades ko sa mga exams ko, pero matamlay pa rin ako. Sinubukan kong makisama kila Madette kaya halos sila ang palagi kong kasama. It's fun to be around them, but I still feel empty all the time.
Kahit alisin ko siya sa isip ko, hindi ko magawa.
I hate him.
I really hate him.
I hate him because even after knowing the truth, I still love him.
I thought I'd be happy if I had not seen him again, but I never thought that not seeing him would be this sad and painful.
Last day na ngayon ng practice namin for graduation at graduation na namin bukas. Sa susunod na araw naman ay championship game na namin kalaban ang La Tierra High. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako mas kinakabahan. 'Yong matatapos na ang high school life ko, o 'yong posibilidad na matalo kami bukas dahil hindi maglalaro si Rara.
