Chapter Fifty Three
Part Two

Lance's POV

Sumubsob ako sa manibela pagkapark ko ng kotse sa tapat ng bahay nila. Nag-aalarm na yung gas… ewan ko ba kung paano ako nakarating ng Las Pinas na hindi namamatayan ng makina.

The clock read 2:17 AM.
Apat na oras na pala akong naghahanap.

Ria asaan ka ba? :-/

Bumaba ako, pero medyo light headed ako habang naglalakad paloob ng bahay nila. Ngayon ko lang naramdaman yung pagod…

May narinig akong mga boses pagkapasok ko ng gate. Limang tao yung naaninag ko sa dilim. Lumapit sakin yung isa sa kanila— si Elle.

“Lance?” sabi niya. “Where’ve you been? Iniwan mo pa phone mo!”

Nagsilapit na rin yung apat – si Aidan, si Denise, si Rafa pati si Gellie.

“Si Ria? Nasaan?”

Nagkatinginan silang apat, tapos nakita kong umirap si Gellie.

“She’s inside,” she said coldly. “Pagod daw.”

“Pare bukas na lang,” Aidan told me, tapos inakbayan niya ako at hinila palabas.

Teka lang nga.

“This can’t wait, I need to see her…”

Pinigilan nila ako. Nagsesenyasan sila Elle at Aidan na para bang nagtatalo sila na nonverbal.
Ang labo.

“Bago ka pumasok,” sabi ni Elle, tapos nag buntunghininga si Aidan na para bang nabwisit siya. “I think you need to see this.”

Inabot niya sakin yung cellphone ko— naiwan ko na pala sa One San Miguel kanina sa pagmamadali ko…

From: Ria Antonio
I don’t think I can do this. I’m sorry.

“Ano to?!”

Tiningnan ko sila isa-isa, pero wala sa kanilang nagsalita.

“Hindi magandang biro to a,” sabi ko. “Niloloko niyo ba ko?”

“I think you should ask her yourself,” Gellie told me calmly.

“Right. I think I’ll do that.”

Narinig kong tinawag ako ni Aidan pero hindi ko na pinansin. Dere-deretso ako dun sa pintuan nila… masabihan nang bastos dahil hindi ko bahay yun pero hindi pwede to.

Binuksan ko yung pinto tapos nakita ko siyang nakaupo sa couch, nakatalikod sa akin.

“There you are.”

She didn’t bother to look at me. Umupo lang siya dun na parang wala siyang narinig.

“Is this your idea of a joke?" I spat, and only then did she turn to face me.

I was aghast upon seeing her state— her eyes were bloodshot, her face and lips devoid of color.

Tangina bakit siya umiiyak?!

Hindi na ko nagisip. Basta lumapit na lang ako tapos niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit… nawala lahat, yung pagod ko, yung galit ko na hindi niya ko sinipot…

“Saan ka ba nagpunta?” sabi ko, then kumalas ako sa kanya. Hindi niya ako matingnan. Hinawakan ko yung mukha niya pero dun pa rin siya nakatingin sa sahig.

“Sorry kung sumigaw ako… Kasi naman e… Natraffic ka ba? Taena kasi may Orti-Ortigas pa kong nalalaman…

Hinawakan ko yung isa niyang kamay. Malamig yun. Hindi pa rin siya nagsalita.

“Sige ok lang… maniniwala naman ako eh…”

“Lance—

Bumitaw siya sakin tapos inalis niya yung kamay ko sa mukha niya. Tumayo siya tapos pumunta dun sa may table sa malapit. Nakita ko siyang nagpahid ng mukha, na para bang pwede niya pa ring itago yun…

“Ok na yun… basta ok na ko kasi ligtas ka… wag ka na umiyak.”

Humarap siya sakin.

“Hindi mo ko naiintindihan.”

I looked at her, confused. She had this determined look on her face na hindi ko maintindihan, as though she was steeling herself for something.

Nagulat na lang ako nang nilagay niya yung dalawang kamay niya sa batok niya.
Hinubad niya yung kwintas na suot niya…

Yun yung regalo ko sa kanya nung pasko…
Inabot niya sakin yun.

“Umuwi ka na. mag aalas tres na.”

“Ria teka lang…”

Tumalikod na siya sakin. Hinabol ko siya.

“Nabasa mo yung text ko diba?”

Natigilan ako.

“Teka lang, ano na naman ba to?!” I said, unable to hold it in any longer.

“Umuwi ka na please.”

“Ria pwede ba kung tatarantaduhin mo na rin lang ako gawin mo na ng maayos?!”

“Ano bang gusto mo? Ipagdukdukan ko pa sayo?”

Tinitigan ko siya sa mata. Wala akong ibang makita doon.
Iba yung pakiramdam… iba yung tingin niya sa akin.

Tears were flowing down her face again— and I knew what they were made of…

PITY.

“You always knew, Lance,” she said, her voice broken, slightly more audible than a mere whisper. “You knew it’s been him all along.”

The words that were spilling out of her mouth were knives, white hot…  the kind that induced pain beyond my wildest nightmares.

“You said it yourself,” she continued. “You’re just my safety net, remember? Pamalit. Panakip butas…

I clenched my fist, and the necklace felt cold against my hand.
I held on to it like mad… like my life had depended on it.

It was the only thing left to remind me of what had been there, or what I thought had been there…

“You should have known better than to believe me,” she went on. “Because that’s all you’ll ever be.”

In spite of myself, I noticed I was laughing.

“Pu tangina,” I said. “How… dare you.”

My fingernails were digging deep into my palms as my fists clenched more tightly.

“Kapal talaga ng mukha mo no?” I asked, smirking. “Ano naenjoy mo ba? Siguro tawa kayo ng tawang dalawa habang ako etong si gag0 naniniwala sa lahat ng pinagsasabi mo—

“Lance please…”

Lumapit siya sakin… her eyes were wide and pleading.

“I’m sorry," she said, tapos umiiyak na naman siya. “Wag mong isiping sinadya ko yun… kasi hindi… hindi ko gustong masaktan ka… Lance, sana maintindihan mong—

“Maintindihan? P uta! Alam mo ba kung anong hinihingi mo sakin?!”

Hinawakan niya yung dalawang braso ko. Sa sahig lang siya nakaharap…

For some reason, kahit wala yun kumpara sa nararamdaman ko… hindi ko magawang matuwa sa pag-iisip na nasasaktan siya.

Na patas lang kami…
Kasi hindi. Alam kong hindi…

“Lance…”

The way she said my name had all the meaning in the world…
But I knew it truly was nothing… nothing at all to her…

And when she looked up and met my eyes, I just felt myself crumbling.

For a moment there, I was tempted to ask what he had that I didn’t…

I wanted to know what I could do to convince her that I deserved her more…
But I was too proud… and rightfully so.

Ilang beses ko na ring kinalimutan ang pride ko para sa kanya…
Siguro naman hindi na masama kung magtira ako kahit konti… Siguro naman tama na yun…

Bumitaw ako sa kanya, but she didn’t budge and kept her hands tight on my arms.
Ano pa bang gusto mo?

“Forgive me…” she sobbed. “Forgive me…”

I stared, shocked as her knees suddenly gave way.
She was on her knees, as though begging… her grip on me was unwavering.

“I’m sorry…” sabi niya. “Hindi ko siya kayang iwan… hindi ko kaya…”

Tiningnan ko siya.

“Alam mo…

































































Pinagsisisihan kong nakilala kita.”

Binitiwan ko siya tapos umatras ako.

“Lance huwag—

“Ayaw na kitang makita…

“Lance patawarin mo ko please…”

“Save your breath,” sabi ko. “At tumayo ka na din… hindi na tatalab sakin yan…”

Napaupo siya dun sa sahig.
She looked so vulnerable. I would have given anything to hold her again…

Pero hindi na pwede…
Hindi ko kaya.

Kelangan ko nang tigilan to.

“Sana maging masaya ka na…” sabi ko. “Yun lang Ria… kahit yun na lang…”

Tumalikod na ko sa kanya.

I walked past their front door, knowing I was never going back.


Happy single awareness day, Faggots
