Good Riddance (DS #2)

Prologue

Christeena Blair,

Akala ko sa pagpapakasal natin ay sa wakas, magkakasama na tayong dalawa. Na akala ko wala na 'kong dapat habulin at iyakan pa. Na akala ko tapos na' kong pagtawanan ng mga tao dahil sa kabila ng lahat, ikaw pa din ang paulit-ulit kong pinipili at minamahal...

No, my wildflower. I'm not complaining. I don't really care if others find me too desperate for a man. Mula noon hanggang ngayon, wala akong pakialam kung tawagin nila akong mahina at desperado dahil lang ikaw ang lagi kong binabalik-balikan. Hindi... Hindi lang nila naiintindihan kung anong klase ang pag-ibig natin sa isa't isa...

Hindi ka nila kilala...

In my arms, you would always let me protect you, shield your vulnerabilities from them... You let me hold you in your most fragile state.

And even though there were men in between, you can only give your heart to me...

Kahit nang sinubukan ko ring tumingin sa iba... isang daan lang ang lagi kong nilalakaran pauwi... Doon sa daan na pabalik sa'yo... doon lang palagi.

They will never understand, but I do. Our hearts do... Kaya ka pumayag magpakasal sa wakas, hindi ba? Kaya tayo pa din sa huli... Because you always know that...

Blair, while they judge, I love you. Unconditionally.

They never saw your fears, they were never there to witness your tears... Pero ako, lagi akong nandoon. I knew you even before things messed up. Before the chaos, we're each other's sanctuary. Remember, wildflower?

But now, you're away again. Noon, hindi kita pinipigilan dahil alam kong tumatakas ka para maging malaya. Pero hindi na ngayon.

Sa ginagawa mong pagtakbo, lalo mo lang ikinukulong ang sarili mo.

You're always going back to your cage, Blair.

When will you choose to remove the burden you like to carry all alone? When will you learn to say good riddance to the chains that bind you?

My Blair, I always have the key, but you keep on shunting it away. You've hurt me more than any woman could hurt a man, they said. But I never really cared! I will keep on giving you the key as much as I can, because I want you to be free... With me...

Oh, Blair...

I guess I have no more words to say. O hindi ko na lang makuha pang isulat ang mga tamang salita—ang mga bagay na gustong-gusto kong sabihin pa. These tears are blinding me!

I miss you. I love you.

Terribly much.

Yet tonight, I can only pray hard and cry. I can only pray for you. Again, and again... and again...

Come home to me, Blair. Don't run away anymore. Rest here with me...

Please, I'm begging you.

Come home.

Your husband,

Jasiel Jacquin Valleroso
