Preface
317 Words
I felt so devastated and couldn't believe it. I am still standing, waiting in vain while facing the dark sky. . . Everything seemed unreal, and my whole world shattered.
Gaige. . . My mind speaks.
I rested my head on the back of the chair, almost kneeling. . . I have too much inside my head, and I have too many questions too. Nagtatanong ang puso at isip ko.
Saan ba ako nagkulang? At ano ba ang pagkakamali ko? Paano niya nagawa sa akin ito?
I admit it, I had my mistake, but I don't think it will be enough for her to do this to me. . . It's not worth her excuse!
"Art, bro," tapik ni Henrix sa balikat ko.
Hindi bumitaw ang kamay niya at nasa balikat ko pa ito. Bumuntonhininga ako at ramdam ko ang kakaibang pait sa puso.
"Let's go home, bro. I don't think she's coming. It's almost midnight."
I swallowed hard and I feel the excruciating pain inside my heart. It's ripping, and I don't think I could survive. . . Damn it!
"Art. . . " ulit na tawag niya.
"Art, let's continue looking for her tomorrow. I believe she had her valid excuse."
I smirked and stood up, trying to compose myself. But it's really hard. I can even feel my knees shaking and so is my flesh inside. . . Napahilamos ako sa sarili at pilit na ngumiti kay Henrix.
"Atticus. . ." tiim-bagang niya at hindi na siya nagsalita pa.
"I-I'm alright, bro," I nodded and turned away from him.
The moment I took a step behind him, my tears fell. . . Dammit! I swore a handful of times in the back of my mind while my tears are falling.
I'm not going to stop Gaige. Do you think I will just give up? No way. No effing way. . .
