VAGUE MEMORIES

How did it happened? He was in jail so its impossible!

"Brent?" Nathan said.

Then, we noticed that he's having a headache.

"Nathan, are you alright?" agad kong tanong sa kanya.

But he didn't answered. He seems to remember something when he heard that name.

"make sure not to let him in, he's just a stranger " dad said.

Then my bodyguard bowed and immediately went outside.

"dad, he's not just a stranger, to be honest, that was the guy in the article"

Napatingin silang lahat sa akin.

"kaya pala his name sounds familiar to me and it seems that he's the guy that I saw inside the car in my memories, iyon lang ang naaalala ko as of this moment" Nathan said.

"you need to remember him Nathan, he was the one who bumped you with his car" I said.

Matapos kong sabihin iyon, agad na pumasok ang bodyguard namin kanina at iniabot ang isang papel.

"wala na po siya doon pero may iniwan po siyang sulat"

At agad ko iyong binasa.

Magpakasaya ka lang kasi hindi mo alam, huling araw mo na pala ito. Then I saw some blood on the paper.

That psycho!

I crumpled the paper kaya they asked me what was written on it.

"He was just crazy." I just said para di na sila magworry.

(sighed)

I can handle this problem myself. Ayokong may madamay na naman sa problem na ito because of me.

"excuse me first" tumayo ako and I called Sam.

He was my acquaintance during my college years and he was a police so I'll report that Brent immediately to him para mahanap na siya kaagad. Hindi pwedeng makatakas ang psycho na iyon.

"hello Sam, I'll report someone to you and I think, you need to find him ASAP....he was an escapee...yes I'll send you the details, thank you"

Napaupo ako saglit sa sofa after I send everything to him.

I was in the living room this time and to be honest, nang mabasa ko ang sulat, nakaramdam ako ng takot.

Nakausap ko siya and I knew him in the past, he's a dangerous man and a psycho. Kailangang mahanap ulit siya para maibalik kung saan man siya nararapat.

"Miss President" napalingon ako sa kinaroroonan ni Nathan.

"where's Spade?" asked ko.

"He was talking with your parents about that guy, at narinig kong involved pala ang kapatid niya sa Brent na iyon"

"ano pang naaalala mo?" I asked him. He really needs to remember everything in case of it being worse.

"pardon?" him.

"Gusto kong malaman if you remember anything aside from what you told me earlier."

Umupo muna siya sa tabi ko at tiningnan ako sa aking mga mata.

Kaya ibinaling ko na lang ang aking tingin sa malaking glass window ng aming bahay.

"I tried to remember everything but I can't. To be honest, the moment that your dad told me about us in the past, it urges me to do my best para maalala ang nakaraang iyon. Di ba you told me kanina na, our past really matters to you?"

I looked at him and he's serious about it. Ngayon ko lang ulit nakita ang ganyan kasincere na mukha when talking to me.

"yes, but don't get me wrong. If there's anything about US in the past, tapos na iyon. Mananatili na lang iyong alaala sa akin at hopefully sa iyo. I already moved on so huwag ka sanang umasa na maibabalik pa natin ang nakaraan" I said then I stood up. Aalis na sana ako but he stopped me.

"ganyan ka ba talaga? laging nang-iiwan?" sabi niya nang hawakan niya ako sa aking kamay.

Napatigil ako saglit.

"you're not supposed to say that to me kasi di naman talaga ako aalis noon kung hindi mo ako ipinagtabuyan" I said while not looking at him.

"maybe I have reasons why I did it to you." he said.

Reasons? oo, alam ko naman na may reason siya eh and its simple, he pushed me away because he don't like me anymore, period.

"your dad told me that I was your first love and maybe, hindi lang ikaw ang nakaramdam noon."

"what do you mean?"

Tapos tumayo siya at humarap sa akin.

"na....ikaw din pala ang first love ko. Magiging honest ako sa iyo Aikka (he sighed) after I recovered from coma, I dated so many girls with different personalities and beauties pero until now, I really don't know kung ano bang klaseng babae ang hinahanap ko. I never fell inlove with anybody, no matter how I've tried. But when I saw you in the elevator, iba na agad ang naramdaman ko... that's why I gave you my calling card"

Liar. I won't believe those stories from him anymore. Ayokong umasa ulit at maiwan sa ere kapag sawa na siya.

"di ba I told you back then na I will never be your victim? so please, let me go. Ayaw mo naman sigurong makita tayo ng boyfriend ko na hawak mo ang kamay ko di ba?"

When I said it, he let me go kaya bumalik na ako kung nasaan sila dad. Pagdating ko doon, agad nila akong kinausap about having my bodyguards again kahat saan man ako magpunta. They also explained na since Nathan and I are working in the same company, much better daw na magkasama kami everytime na lalabas since both of our lives are in danger. Sinubukan ko silang kontrahin but buo na ang decision nila dad and mom so wala na akong nagawa.
