Through You

CHAPTER THIRTYONE - Gold Rush

I only gave you my hand,
How did you end up with all of me?

Ruru opens the door for me. Pumasok naman ako. On the way we were nothing but happy, settled na on how everything will flow, now that everyone involved already agreed on something with regards my pregnancy.

What I saw shocked me. The moment we entered our condo...

Candles are lit, the chandelier that once amused me is well cleaned and shined, the couch was moved somewhere I didn't know, and instead of the usual living area Ruru had, a round table is there, with flowers and a well prepared meal was on top of it. Slowly, I start to smell the scent of lavender and steak mixing together. I kinda thought I would hate it, but it kinds of makes me laugh...

I was about to roam the place with my eyes again when something moved. I followed the sound of a metal striking to Ruru's tiles, and saw Rere and Rocco pushing themselves into a tiny cabinet. The metal cabinet door holder is scratching through his walls, since both of them are inside and the door refuses to close, it kept on banging to the wall beside it.

Both of them saw my gaze and awkwardly smile. I laugh my ass out.

"Sorry, bigla bigla naman kasi nag text to si Roan na anjan na kayo, eh mamaya ko pa dapat ioon ung humidifier dumating kayo bigla, anjan pa tuloy yung amoy ng steak." Rocco says, moves out of the cabinet, bringing more space for Rere to move into, but Rere followed and goes out with him.

"Sabi ko kasi sayo kanina, saglit lang ang byahe, ang bagal mo pa kumilos, ayan tuloy!" Reee says, completely out of tone and not minding that Rocco's age gap was far along with hers, she acts as if they were the same age.

"Hay nako, kung alam ko lang, Kay Sanya ko na to pinasuyo!" Ruru says, puting his palm on his face.

I laugh before replying.

"Ang ganda!" I say, roaming the place with my body now instead of my eyes and holding the flowers that I think was personally picked by Ruru. I smell them, I thought they were too beautiful to be real, but it is real. It is even wet as if it was just picked from a garden nearby.

I turn my body to face Ruru, I ran to him and he catched me. I hugged him tight.

"Rere, Cue na natin yan to leave, tapos an responsibilidad natin dito!" Rocco says and pulls Rere outside the condo. I think Rere wanted to disapprove but Rocco's grip was to tight and he was too strong..

I touch my forehead with Ruru's he transfers his hands to my waist. I can now smell the lavender slowly overcoming and the steak smell slowly disappearing. I kiss Ruru.

"Hindi na natin magagawa to once your tummy becomes bigger, from dates of two to dates of three. From dinner dates to baby dates, and I wanted to pamper you a little bit more before the life in you starts growing, and I did it right on time that everything is settled. I love you, Kylie. I love you with all my might, I love you with all I can give. I want you to have everything of me..." He whispers to my ear and I can't help but cry. I didn't know what I did. I didn't know why. But thank you, lord. For giving him to me.

I started crying, I lean my head against on his chest, I can't imagine the feeling of not having to lay my head on his chest. He has become my comfort, he has become one with me, He is now a part of me. And although I am terrified of now having someone I will give my all to.

I wanted to trust him, I wanted to let him. I love him too.

"Bat ka umiiyak?" Tanong nito sakin at nag simulang punasan ang aking mga mata.
