Romans & histoires Because I Could Not Stop For Death

Mas lalo kong binilisan ang takbo ng kotse, sagad sa kayang tulin nito. “Palayain mo na ako, Liam!” And right in the ferry bridge of a river, my car fell for not being able to push the brake and stop it from moving. Deep down the river I attained the freedom I was longing to have. Had it been from my concern, Henrix would have joined me in the menace of drowning and lacking oxygen to keep alive.

Nang makalayo ako sa kanya ay kusang bumagsak ang mga luhang pinipigilan ko. Bakit? bakit hanggang ngayun ay masakit parin? why? gusto ko ng sumaya.. ayuko ng masaktan.. "you can't love him because he was.... the one who will kill you in th ending.. So stop that stupid thoughts of yours that you will be together." sabi ng utak ko.. napabuntong hininga na lang ako..

Addison Dionisho Nakadungaw sa magandang tanawin, sinasalubong ang sariwang hangin galing sa labas ng bintana ng sasakyan. Pinoproseso ang mga pangyayaring matagal ko nang gustong gawin. "Hey, are you okay?" Napalingon ako kay Thornton sa tabi ko habang nakatuon lang ang tingin sa pagmamaneho. Umupo ako nang maayos at muling ibinalik ang tingin sa labas bago siya sinagot.

My tears stopped… at unti-unting nanlaki ang mata nang magsink-in ang sinabi niya. What? D-Death?

We stepped out as a group, our shadows stretching long over cracked asphalt. Something made me glance back. Maybe guilt. Maybe the old woman's voice. Maybe the ache that comes right before you break free or break apart. The graffiti wall stared back at me. THERE'S NO HEAVEN My chest tightened. Same harsh lines. Same finality. But then— My eyes caught something new. Something scratched beneath it, fresh and raw: THEN WHY LEAVE? My breath hitched. Ian whispered, "Are you okay?" "Don't mind me," I said. "Let's move."

Tumulo ang unang luha niya. At doon doon ako biglang nakaramdam ng guilt. Hindi dahil mali ang gusto ko. Kundi dahil mali ang paraan. “You think I stopped because I wanted to?” nanginginig niyang sabi. Humina ang paligid. “I stopped because I was breaking.” Tahimik. Mahabang katahimikan. At sa ilalim ng city lights parang bigla kong nakita ang asawa ko hindi bilang eleganteng Helena De La Vega

Because the moment our eyes met— Everything else disappeared. The fear. The guilt. The control. It all faded. Leaving only— Him. “This isn’t over,” he said quietly. My chest tightened. “It has to be.” “No.” Silence. Because he meant it. Because I felt it. Because I knew— This wasn’t something I could walk away from. Not anymore. “Then what is it?” I whispered. A pause. Then— He answered. And everything inside me— Shattered. “It’s the moment you stop pretending you don’t want me.”

Kahit na mautot ay hindi ko mabasa. Ang itim na itim nitong mga mata ay walang buhay na nakatitig sa akin. Nasa magkabilang bulsa ang mga kamay nito. Humakbang ako papalapit sa kanya, "Dark..." napahinto ako ng humakbang ito paatras. Napakunot ako ng noo. Bakit? "I am here just to say..." nabitin sa ere ang sasabihin nito at nakatitig sa akin ng mariin. "to stop this nonsense thing,"

"Please, stop the racing. I-I can't lose him... My mother died because of a reckless car racer…” ◇◇◇◇◇ ●To be continue
