[29] Apologies
"T-Terrence...I- I..."
"Marry me Yara, it's the only way that I know."
I was dumbfounded. Hindi ko maikilos ang katawan ko. Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko. All I can think about is Gertrude.
And Damien.
Ni hindi ko alam kung bakit pero naninikip ang dibdib ko. Pakiramdam ko ay masyado akong nape-pressure. It's a choice between my freedom and my child. Hindi ko naman masasabi na wala na akong kalayaan kapag pumayag ako sa alok ni Terrence, it's just that I am afraid of marriages and proposals. Especially if it's a loveless marriage.
Natatakot ako na matulad si Terrence sa akin noon. Natatakot ako na gumuho ang pagkakaibigan namin. At higit sa lahat, natatakot ako na masaktan ko si Terrence.
"Yara, I loved you ever since and I will love you eternally. Runaway with me."
