"Shera!"
"Shera!"
I look for her in room but I couldn't find her. Halos halug-hugin ko ang unit ko pero hindi ko sya makita. How could she leave me after we made love last night? Why did she leave? Ang dami kong katanungan pero walang maisasagot.
I wake up knowing her side is empty. I'm scared maybe she was mad at me because I took her innocence at an early age but no... she agreed on it when I ask her, then why? Pareho lang naman kaming nadala sa sobrang pagmamahal namin sa isa't-isa.
I'm on panic now and got more nervous when I notice a white envelope in the side table under the tray full of breakfast meal. It's a letter. My hand is shaking when I unfold it. My world falls apart when I read what's written on it.
How? How could she leave me taking my heart? While me... left empty and broken.
"Ang daya mo dude, iniwan mo ako ng ganito, broken. Sigurado ang mama mo ang dahilan kaya kayo umalis pero sana man lang hindi mo ako iniwan sa ganitong paraan, ang sakit eh. Why do you have to leave like that as if I'm not important to you? Siguro nga. You stole my heart dude and I don't have any idea when can I take it back to you. Mahal na mahal kita pero ngayon nangingibabaw ang sakit at galit dahil sa pag-iwan mo sakin. How could you this to me?"
I humorously laugh. I'm already insane talking to a piece of paper. A paper containing words that broke my heart. Gusto kong magwala sa sakit na nararamdaman ko ngayon. I can't take it anymore. I stand up and walk in the wall and punch it with my right knuckle repeatedly, pouring all my emotions in the punch until my knuckle bleeds. I felt drain and numb already. I lean in the wall, hanggang tuluyan na akong napaupo. My knuckle was bleeding but I didn't bother to pay attention on it. I don't feel the pain anymore. I feel hollow and broken.
Now, I realize she planned the whole thing yesterday for our last bonding together. This was her reason why she was acting weird yesterday. I can't believe she fooled me. I admit I'm happy of what she did but in the same time hurt for not trusting me.
Giving me her innocence is her way of saying goodbye? Why? Thinking about it, hurts me even more. I'm so dumb, she tricked me.
Yes, I love her so much and I know she love me too but the pain she cause is unbearably. Yes, I'll wait for her but to take back my heart, for me to be whole again.
"Goodbye Shera. Someday we will meet again. I'll wait for that time to come... but for now I'll forget you exist in my life." I coldly uttered in the air.
That's a promise!
