All of me (Part of Me Book 2)

Chapter 5

Set aside the doubt. Conquer the fear. Feel the heart and hear what it screams.

[Henson's POV]

            Love is when you're willing to wait for someone with no reason at all except that you love her. Love is when you have the regrets of losing her coz all that you can do is just stare and watch her smiling happily beside the man who used to be with her during her lonesome days. It hurts, yes. Incredibly hurting. Pero may magagawa pa ba ko? Kung nagawa man siyang pasayahin ni Kier ngayon, dahil yun sa nagawa ko siyang paiyakin noon. Kaya ngayon, heto ako, watching her around, at kahit saan siya pumunta, Kier was around. Paano ko siya malalapitan kung hindi humihiwalay sa kanya ang mokong na yun. That dumbass. I know he will do anything para mapasakanya na si Riri.

            Oh no~ just reminding the last talk we had, years ago... I know this would be a tough fight. Kung hindi lang sana -- Heaven's sake! There's no use of regretting Henson! All that I would, I could have now is today and the rest of my life. And my life is her. She's all to me, and I would never be completed again without her, I have to win her back. I have to. I should. I would. And I know, I could. All because I know she loves me still. I can feel it.

            "What now, kuya? Anong balak mo?"

            "I have to talk with her"

            "How? Kuya Kier doesn't leave her?"

            "Wag mo nga siyang tawaging 'kuya' ?!"

            "Tss. Nahawaan ka na nung mga unggoy mong tropa. Hindi ako katulad nyo. Hmf"

How can I forget? Mabait na bata nga pala si Sam. Unlike Daphne.

            "Pag nakausap mo siya? Ano namang sasabihin mo?"

Saglit akong nag-isip. Oo nga, ano nga bang sasabihin ko?

'I love you?' -- as if ganun yun kadali.

'How are you doing?' -- she's known all-over-Asia, that would sound sarcastic. I even know everything about what happened to her for almost seven years...

Alam ko nga ba? Yeah right. Alam ko nga ba??

            "Look at that child, she's a cutie... Sorry to say, but I like her...~" Sam said as she was staring Star playing with.. Ryder.

            "She resembles Riri... At her young age..."

I remember my first meeting with Riri.

            "Seriously?? Whoah. No wonder, she inherit her mom's cuteness!!" Sam was already applausing.

I look at the kid. She got her mom's eyes, and that cute nose of hers... Does she sing good like her mom? Friendly chick like Riri?

Plop!

I was hit by a ball. It was Ry who accidentally threw it to me..

            "Sorry..." It was Star, and she stunned me.

Oh geez~ she's... Charming.!

            "Here~" I lowered myself as I try to give her the ball..

She co'[;me closer...

            "Xie xie!! ^^" she said smiling..

            "Oh geezz!! Ang cute mo!!!" Sam.
