Oneshot

Azariah and Ashanti’s love is forbidden, but nothing can separate them.—except for death.

 

Azariah’s.

 

It’s been a while since Ashanti and I saw each other. She promised me that she’ll make time for us. Now it’s time for us to spend our last time together. She’ll leave the country soon. And here i am—suffering from Hypertophic Cardiomyopathy. Never ko siyang sinabihan tungkol dito. Ayaw kong maging sagabal sa taong minahal na ako ng sobra. Alam ko na mahihirapan siya lalo kapag nalaman niya ito. Sapat na ang pagmamahal na naiparamdam niya sa’kin.

 

 Ayoko siyang mahirapan ulit dahil sa’kin at dahil sa buhay kong alam kong wala na din namang patutunguhan. Ako’y susuko at magpapahinga na. 

 

Narinig ko ang kanyang pag-tawag. Binuksan ko ang pintuan —then i finally saw my girlfriend standing infront of the door—looking so pale and exhausted but she still looks pretty and handsome at the same time. I closed the gap between our bodies. I hugged her tightly. She hugged me back and the hug felt so warm that i just want to stay like that with her, forever.

 

She placed her bag above the countertop and she looked at me while fixing her things. After she finished— I grabbed her wrist gently and pulled her with force until we finally reached my room. The room was dark—almost nothing can be seen inside the huge room. I turned the lights on and sat at the verge of the king-sized bed.

 

“I love you so much, akin.”I heard her voice. Nasanay na akong ganito siya sa’kin. Natatakot ako na dumating ang araw na makaka-hanap na siya ng iba. She became the only person that i could call a safe place, home and comfort. No one had ever made me feel this way except for her, she treated me like a princess. She never failed to make me smile and she never treated me like —unlike others.  The only thing that i am afraid of is losing her— she is my everything. Pero parang mas mauuna na akong mawawala. 

 

“I love you too."

 

 Im afraid that she’ll hate me for not telling her the truth. I feel very sorry for her kasi ginawa niya ang lahat para sa’kin at hindi ko alam kung masusuklian ko pa ba s’ya.

 

Nararamdaman ko ang tibok ng aking puso—mas mabilis kaysa sa normal na tibok ng puso ng isang tao. Napaka-saya ko ngayon dahil kasama ko siya, Si Ashanti. Alam kong mapapalitan naman ito ulit ng lungkot kaya naman nagpapakasaya nako sa mga natitirang oras ko dito.

 

“, I just want to stay like this forever. Pwede bang ganito nalang tayo hanggang dulo?”

 

“Hindi pwede, Ashanti. Madaming pwedeng mangyaring masama kapag pinilit natin.”

 

“I know that our love is forbidden. But i promise that i’ll fight for us no matter what happens. Sabay nating tatakasan ang mundong maaaring sirain kung ano man ang mayro’n saatin. Tatakasan natin ang mundong kailanman hindi naging patas sa’tin. Pangako, mahal.”Hindi ko alam kung anong nararamdaman ko. May halong tuwa at lungkot. Una—natutuwa ako dahil sa sinabi niyang ipaglalaban niya ang aming pag iibigan kahit ano man ang mangyari. Pangalawa—Ako ay labis na nalulungkot dahil pwedeng hindi na namin makitang muli ang isa’t-isa.

 

“Tumatawag na si mama. I think i’ve got to go na, akin. Ma-iiwan ako sa flight.”

 

“Ingat ka, Akin. Mahal na mahal kita.”Kasabay nito ang pagpatak ng aking mga luha.

 

“Sobrang mahal din kita, I’ll miss you. Please padalhan mo din ako ng sulat doon, hm?”I can’t promise that, pag nangako ako alam kong masasaktan kita ng sobra. 

 

Ngumiti nalang ako at hinalikan ang kanyang labi at alam na alam kong ito na talaga ang huli, hindi ako kaagad bumitaw sakanya. Ngunit kailangan niya nang magpaalam at umalis.

 

Paalam, Akin.

 

END.
