Honesty can make a person trust you. It is also one of the pillars of love.
JUST TELL THE TRUTH
I arrived at my boyfriend's doorstep na basa sa ulan at namumugto pa ang mga mata. Agad niya naman akong pinapasok, pinahiram ng t-shirt at extra panties ko na nakabilin sa bahay niya in case of emergencies yon, eh. He suggested it.
Pagkatapos kong maligo, I proceeded to the kitchen kung saan ko naabutan si Chris na nagtitimpla. I'm still shivering from cold.
Biglang sumilay sa mukha ko ang ngiti nang inabot ni Chris sa akin ang favorite mug ko. But I was dismayed when I found out that its not coffee.
“I want a coffee. " ngumuso ako.
He shot a glance at me saka ngumiti, “Kape ka ng kape. You need to drink milk. "
Ngumuso ako and hugged my knees, “I want a coffee..."
“Umuwi ka sa bahay mo kung gusto mo ng kape. Basta kung nandito ka, gatas ang iinumin mo." seryoso ang boses niyang nagmamando sa kin.
I sighed.
“Baby..."
Agad akong napatingala sa kaniya na nakatitig sa kin habang naglalagay ng peanut butter sa sliced bread.
“B-Bakit?" nataranta kong tanong.
Ewan ko ba kung bakit ako biglang kinabahan. Maybe, giniginaw lang talaga ako.
“Is there any problem?" he smiled, “You can tell me about it."
“A-Ayos lang naman a-ako—"
“You came in my doorstep na basang-basa at pulang-pula ang mga mata. And you're expecting me to just look at you? I know you have problems and its bothering me too. Kaya, tell me about it. "
I told him about what's bothering me. I broke my boss' laptop dahil aksidente ko itong nahawi sa mesa, making it break into half. Hindi ko naman yon sinadya. And its because of that cat! Kung hindi yun tumalon sa mesa, edi hindi siguro yun nabasag!
“Its because of the cat, okay? Aksidente din naman ang lahat. Pero... Pero di ko alam kung ano ang gagawin kaya tumakbo ako papunta dito since uwian na din. I didn't tell anyone about it... Except you. " I sniffled
Nakaupo kaming dalawa ni Chris sa ibabaw ng kaniyang kama, umiinom pa din ako ng gatas habang nagkukuwento.
After I told him my rants, he just laughed. Tumawa siya na tila ba di man lang siya naawa sa sitwasyon ko.
“Why are you laughing?" I glared at him as my eyes began to tear up again.
“You silly. Halika nga dito. " He pulled me into a hug saka humiga kaming dalawa.
I closed my eyes as he continued to brush my hair in silence. Just as then, bigla siyang nagsalita.
“Alam mo? I thought you're not going to lie anymore? " tanong ni Chris sa kin.
I didn't speak at nagkunwaring tulog kuno kahit na halata namang hindi.
“Own up that mistake. Kahit gaano ka man nasaktan sa nagawa mo, kailangan mo pa ding sabihin ang totoo. Blame no one. Kasalanan mo yun kahit na aksidente lang dahil ikaw ang nakahawi."
No no. He don't understand kumg gaano kahirap gawin ang bagay na yon.
“Just tell the truth, baby. " He kissed my forehead, “Just tell the truth no matter how hard it takes for you to do it. Just tell the truth. No lies, no made up stories. Just the truth."
“Hmm." tanging sagot ko.
“Kung nasabi mo na ang totoo, nasa tao na yun kung papatawarin ka nila o hindi. But you know, a wise person values honesty. And anyone who values honesty will not see that mistake as something bad."
He's right. Oh, Chris, since when were you wrong?
“Now, whether you can do it or not. You will tell it to your boss first thing tomorrow morning. Do you understand me, Baby?"
“I love you." tanging nasagot ko lang.
“Honesty is important in love too. If you can't give it to your family or friends, then you can't be honest to me either."
“Pero baka magalit?"
“It doesn't matter. Just tell the truth."
