Chapter 56

"Anak, Aberry saan ka pupunta?!?!" nagmamadali akong nilapitan ni Mama habang itinatali ang robe niya sa kanyang bewang.

I was crying so hard while pulling my suitcase down from the staircase. "Bakit ka umiiyak? Anak saan ka pupunta sandali!!" lumabas na'rin si Papa sa kanilang silid at nagtatakang tinignan lahat ng gamit na pilit kong hinihila.

"Anong nagyayari," tanong niya habang pilit akong pinipigilan ni Mama an umalis.

"Ma, let go please I need to go *sob*," I beg and try pulling my things.

"Hindi sandali Aberry, sobrang lakas ng snow sa labas hindi ako papayag na umalis ka ng ganitong oras, madaling araw na Aberry anak naman!!!" nag aalalang sambit nito at pilit akong hinihila pabalik.

"Ma please let go I need to go, I need to see him Ma, please I'm begging you," I whisper and pull my bag, but she's consistent on pulling back too.

"Ma!!! please!!!" I said.

"Hindi ako papayag Aberry gusto mo bang mamatay sa lamig sa labas!!!" tumataas na ang boses ni Mama habang inaalalayan siya ni Papa.

I look at my father and beg, "Pa please stop her" I said.

"Aberry, nahihibang ka na ba mamatay ka sa lamig dito sa labas, kung magpupumilit kang umalis, ano ka bang bata ka!!!" now she's shouting at me, I cried harder and burst out.

"Ma! let me go! I need to see him!!!" I shouted and let go of my bag, my knees weakened, I kneel in front of them and put my palm together rubbing it in front of my face and beg. "Ma please I need to see Oliver, I need to talk to him, he needs me!!!!! please let me go," I beg.

Natigilan sila saking pagmamakaawa at tumayo ng tuwid, "Give me the car keys now," I raised my head when my father seriously said that and look at my Mother.

"Ano?" tanong ni Mama sakayan, bumalik ang tingin sakin ni Papa at sinabi, "Kailangan makita ng anak natin ang lalaking mahal niya ihahatid natin siya" seryosong sambit ni Papa habang nakatingin sakin.

I burst out crying through what he said and covered my face, he walked towards me and made me stand up, "Papa," I said and hugged him so tight.

"Shhh stop crying now princess, you'll see him ok," he whispers and get all my things at dinala sa garage, mabilis niyang nilagay lahat ng gamit ko sa sasakyan at sabay-sabay kaming umalis ng bahay.

Mabilis pero maingat ang pagpapaandar ni Papa sa sasakyan papuntang airport, habang nasa byahe ay mabilis akong makapag book ng flight pabalik ng New York, buti na lang may last flight ngayong madaling araw at maluwag pa kaya naaprubahan agad ang ticket ko.

"Andito na tayo," sambit ni Papa, pinunasan ko agad ang aking luha habang inaayos palabas ang aking mga gamit.

"Malalate kana sa flight," pinasuot sa'kin ni Mama ang aking sling bag at tinulungan akong hilahin ang aking mga maleta.

"Magtext sa samin pagandon kana ah, anak," she said as I faced her, I nodded and wiped my tears, hugged them both so tight, and ran inside the airport.

"Miss!! New York!!!" I shouted when the staff was about to close the gate.

"Oh you're just in time Ma'am, ticket please," mabilis kong inabot sa kanya iyon at pumasok sa loob. Hindi ko alintana ang lakas ng hangin at lamig dito at mabilis paring tumakbo hanggang sa makasakay na ako ng eroplano.

I take 1 hour and 40 minutes ang flight at medyo natagalan pa sa pagland kaya pasikat na ang araw ng makalabas ako sa airport.

I rode a private taxi to the hotel he stays in; tears never stop the whole ride and I tried so hard on contacting him but he wasn't answering.

"Here, thank you," I handed the payment to the driver and ran inside the hotel with my suitcase and bags.

Umakyat ako sa floor ng kanyang room at malakas na kumatok. After a few knocks it open. I immediately hugged him so tight.

"I'm sorry, Oliver," I whisper and cry.

"Ma'am??" agad akong napabitaw ng marinig ang ibang boses na iyon, it's a bell boy.

"Where's Mr. Beltran?!" naguguluhan kong tanong.

"Mr. Beltran just left minutes ago for his flight back to the Philippines ma'am" magalang na sambit nito at lumabas ng silid dala ang kanyang panlinis.

I was left stiff in front of this door. "Haa," I sigh and tears flow faster this time.

My heart is pounding so much and it's hard for me to breathe, my sobs became louder and my body started shaking so damn hard.

I cover my lips using my hands and cry, even more, my phone rings and when I check it my parents are calling.

Nanghihina ko itong sinagot, "M-ma," I whisper.

"Anak andyan ka na ba sa New York nagkita na ba kayo?!" aligagang tanong ni Mama sa kabilang linya, I close my eyes harder and shake my head.

"Aberry anak ok ka lang ba?" nang marinig ko ang boses ni Papa ay agad akong bumagsak sa sahig at umupo.

"I was late, he left already," I said and they gave me a moment of silence.

"Where is he?!" tanong ni Papa.

I sob more, "He left a minute ago to fly back to the Philippines," I whisper.

"Then what are you doing there?!" biglang sumigaw si Papa sa kabilang linya kaya natigilan ako, "Ano pang ginagawa mo anak? habulin mo baka hindi pa nakakaalis, mahal mo hindi ba, habulin mo, kumilos ka na!!!!" I stop crying for a second when he said that and slowly stand up.

"Sige na anak, kilos na anak ko," he said and turned off the call. With that I immediately grabbed the bell boy that was about to walk past me, "Please take care of my things for A moment, I'll be back, here," I handed him my things, 5 boxes before I ran out of the Hotel and rode a new taxi back to the airport.

"Can you go any faster please," I beg to the driver, sinunod niya naman ang sinasabi ko at ilang saglit lang ay nasa airport na muli ako.

I run fast inside and look around, hinanap ko siya sa lobby, sa waiting area at sa kung saan-saang parte ng airport.

"Oliver!!!" I called out but no one answered.

Natigilan ako sa pagtakbo.... I stop breathing as I see....

Flight, Air Canada to Philippines 5:30 am.

It's already 6:40 am, nakaalis na ang eroplano na sinakyan niya.

"Ahhh!!!" I shouted and broke down and cried.

"Oliver."
