Chapter 20: Last breathe

Charlene's POV

   "It's not us, there's no us" I directly said

   "The girlfriend thingy, it's not true" he slowly nodded

   "I'm...happy to hear that" he said and smiled

   "I'm afraid I'll lose you again" he whispered and touched my neck

   He was looking at my neck confused, I was just looking at him

   "Where is it?" he asked

   "Where is what?" I pretend I didn't know what is it

   "The--nevermind" he said and turned his back at me, I giggled and pulled him back

   I looked at his eyes and slowly tip toe reaching for his lips. Our lips touched, I feel like I was the happiest woman.

   I wanted to forget him, but the more I tried, the more I'm getting desperate for seeing him

   After that kiss, I grab the necklace ring in my pocket and held it near his face

   "I was about to throw this, but I know I can't. This is the most precious gift I've ever had" I said why looking at the necklace ring

   "I'll court you again" I smiled and put the necklace back to my pocket

   "If you want to. I'm allowing you because I want you to prove your love infront of my family again. I know lola lost her trust on you" I sadly said, everytime na binabanggit ni mama at papa ang pangalan niya nagagalit si lola

   I understand her, she just doesn't want anyone to hurt me. She just doesn't want for anyone to hurt her granddaughter

   "I'll start now, I don't want to waste time anymore"

   "What is it?" he asked while smiling

   We are here in the playground, we sat on a swing. I took a deep breathe

   "I'm sorry" I almost whispered

   "I...don't want to hurt you anymore" patuloy ko

   "I know, it's hard to tell me it's still him" I looked at him, a sudden tear fell from my eyes

   "Your eyes are telling me, the way you looked to him and me. It's very different. I told myself 'If he came back, I know he'll get you again'"

   "I'm...sorry" I said and lowered my head

   "It's not your fault. I understand, but I'm asking myself why" he stopped

   "Why did you choose him even though I'm the one who stayed?"

   "I'm asking myself if I'm not enough"

   "Now I know why, you love him more than I think. I thought you can love me when he's gone but you didn't because I know you love him so much" he looked at me, he helped me get up and hugged me

   "I-I'm sorry" I said and cried. It really hurts to see someone suffering because of me

  "I should be the one who's sorry. I'm being selfish, we had our deal but I didn't followed it. I did all I can to stay him away from you for the thought of you loving me" he said

   "I hope you'll get the ending you both deserve. I love you and I will continue loving you from a far" he whispered and smiled at me. My heart was shattered into pieces, he was a good man. I know he'll get the ending he deserves too
