ALL flashbacks and voices that I was hearing at the back of my head and even the pregnancy test are connected to what Keli just said. Tears formed in my eyes. Masakit nga ang katotohanan. Hindi ko alam kung kaya pang tanggapin ng sistema ko ang lahat ng narinig ko mula sa kanya.
Hindi ko alam kung kaya ko pa bang alamin ang lahat dahil ngayon pa lang ay sobrang sakit na. They lost their child. And I feel like it’s my fault. Nang maramdaman kong tutulo na ang luha ko ay agad akong tumayo at iniwanan siya.
My hands are shaking as I took the key out of my pocket. And then the rain suddenly fell. Parang nangyari na ito dati. As soon as I got inside the car, my tears burst out.
Naalala ko na ang sinabi ni Keli. She’s right. That night was his brother’s birthday. Hindi ako isinama ni Akihiro.
