All This Time I Have Been Yours

"7 years"

The next day Herbert ask the Director if he can go home tomorrow because of an urgent matter. Good thing his scenes for the said sequence were done they're just needed to finish one scene with Macoy De leon for tonight, so the Director approved his request for a restday tomorrow

"Tito, ano pong gusto nyong breakfast bukas? Papaluto po kasi kami kay Kuya Lassy" 

Macoy approached him while his outside the house lighting his cigarette

"Maaga akong uuwi eh, baka sa bahay na lang"

"Ay sayang naman po.. may problema po sa bahay nyo?"

"Wala naman may kailangan lang akong asikasuhin"

"Ah ok po. Sige Tito sabihan ko po sila"

"Sige sige" he said tapping his shoulder

---
"Nay?"

Miles carefully waking her up

"Hmm?" She said without openin her eyes

"Nay, nandyan po si Tito sa labas kanina pa po"

"What?"

She asked in disbelief but still not opening her eyes and not moving

"Kanina pa po nandyan si Tito Herbert"

"Please tell him im not feeling well, hindi ko siya mahaharap ngayon"

"But Nay---"

"Anak sige na please do me a favor ask him to leave na"

Miles looked at him, she just said he's outside but the truth is Herbert is inside her room already. Miles shook her head.. But Herbert gestures to let him wake her up. He mouthed thank you to Miles. She left the room, and gestures"Aja" (korean word for fighting)
to Herbert

He sits down beside her bed

"Talaga bang paninindigan mo yang pag iwas mo sakin?"

She removed the pillow and stare at him

"Bakit ka nandito? Diba sabi ko im not feeling well?"

"I know your not. Gusto na kitang makita eh"

"Herbert please"

"Kahit ipagtabuyan mo ko, hindi ako aalis.. hindi ako aalis hanggat di ka bumabalik sakin, 2 linggo na tayong di nag uusap ha, kagabi ka lang nagparamdam, I already gave you time"

She turn to the other side of the bed, her back is facing him

"Kahit di mo ko kausapin, I will stay today kasi I asked for a rest day just to see you, ayos nga to eh worth  it ang rest day ko kasi nakikita kita"

She turn around to  face him

"Ano ba? Is it really hard to understand na ayoko na?"

"Bernadette, alam mong hindi ako naniniwala dyan"

"You have to stop this nonsense Herbert, I told you wala tayong patutunguhan, how many times do I have to tell you? Herbert hindi mo ba naisip, na what if si Bimb ang may ayaw sayo? Hindi mo ba naisip na lalayo ako dahil ayaw nya? Gagawin ko rin to kaya sana ikaw rin. Wag mo ng pahirapan ang sarili natin.. nakaka recover na ko eh, hayaan mo naman akong maka move on"

Instead of walking out of the room as he used to do, he pull her hands gently to him

"Lalayo ako kapag nasabi mo ng diretso sa mata ko na hindi mo na ko mahal"

Its hard for her, but if it is the only way for him to stop,  she did what he asked her to do. She faced him, look straight to his eyes and said

" I admit that I called you yesterday because I miss you. But that doesnt mean na i want to be with you again"
