"Happy 5th Months to us, love!"
I hugged him and kissed his cheeks. 5 months na kami. And these past few days, I've been very happy.
He hugged me back and gave me a bunch of red chrysanthemums. Walang araw na hindi niya ako pinaramdam na hindi niya ako mahal.
Yes I love him. He loves me. I know sobrang bilis ng pangyayari pero dun naman din kami babagsak diba?
"I love you, Haider. Please don't hurt me."
He cupped my cheeks and kissed my forehead.
"Of course. I love you."
I believe you, Haider.
But there's a problem. I'm still here in the hospital. They don't want to let me go. Afraid that I'll do something that will hurt me.
The nurses and my psychiatrist didn't mind about me and Haider. They trust Haider too. And they know that he won't hurt me.
Pero kung nandiyan naman si Haider. I won't do anything that will hurt me. But Haider is still in school. Pumapasok pa siya sa eskwelehan. Pero okay lang. Hihintayin ko nalang siya.
I'm still 21 and he's 23. We're still young. Kailangan pa namin mag-hintay ng matagal.
"Do you like it?"
He's asking about the chrysanthemums.
"Of course, I love it. Sorry wala akong nabigay sayo."
I don't even have my own money. Wala akong pera kahit piso. I feel bad kasi siya lahat gumagastos.
"It's fine. As long as you're happy."
Just like that. He makes my heart alive. He's my happiness. I can't afford to lose him. He's all I have right now. I'll do anything so that he won't leave me.
