Be With Me Then (Then Series #5)

Epilogue

Epilogue 

Only One 

When I saw Irene, even when we are young there is always a part of me that wants to be with her. There is something on her that keeps bothering me until I gave in. And that makes me always wants to see her and stare at her hanggang kailan ko gusto. 

But when I saw her staring at me with so much love in her eyes doon ko na nasabi na. That was my favorite emotion that I see in her eyes all those years. I like looking at her eyes all the time but when I saw her looking at me with love doon ko nasabi na hinding-hindi ako magsasawa na panoorin yun.  

I am watching her sleeping beside me while hugging me so tight. I can always be her comfort if she wants to. I will always hold her and protect her. 

"How can I go home if you are like this?" I ask her even though I know she will not answer me because she is sleeping soundly. Gusto kong protektahan siya kahit na ako pa ang masaktan. 

She already experienced too much pain at yun yung nakita ko sa kanya noon pa man. I don't want to look at her again with the pain in her eyes. Hindi ko na ata kakayanin because when I saw her staring at me with love and joy parang hindi ko na ata kaya na makita siyang nasasaktan. 

I am the happiest when she ask me if she can still be with me. I want to answer her that she doesn't need to ask because I will always welcome her. Lagi kong pipiliin ang makasama siya. 

She woke up and saw me sleeping beside her and she told me bakit hindi daw ako umuwi para hindi ako hanapin ni Raffy but how can I go home if she is hugging me so tight that night and I also like that. 

But I'm happy seeing her eyes looking at me. I can't see the pain anymore dahil ang nakikita ko na lang yung saya niya while she is looking at me. Buong akala ko if we become together ang makikita ko lang sa kanya is pain but I am wrong because I can see her happiness and love while looking at me. 

"What are we?" she ask me when she was about to follow her manager who saw us kissing in the kitchen. Hindi ba dapat ako ang nagtatanong sa kanya niyan? Because I will always follow what she wants. Kung anong gusto niya that what matters to me. 

"I should be the one asking you that right? Kasi kung ako tatanungin Irene, I want you to be mine by being with me." I said honestly. Dahil yun lang naman ang gusto ko. 

I want her to be mine by just being with me. I know I can't call her mine because she is Irene Mae Vargas. A lot of people knows her and adores her. But by being with me alam kong I can call her mine because she choose me. 

"Then, I'm yours." she said and I just smile when she left after saying that. I am lucky.  

Out of all the people who wants her attention, I am the one she saw. Out of all the people na gustong lingunin niya I am the one that makes her head turn. And that is enough for me. 

"But you are the boyfriend." Mia said when I told her that it's fine to her to enter Irene's unit because she is her friend and also manager but she told me I am the boyfriend. And hearing it amaze me. 

It's just good to hear. That I am Irene's boyfriend. 

"Yes I am, but I know my limitations. And I know how important you are to her. So whatever happen I will always understand." I said because I know from the very start that Irene's world will not revolve around me and also me to her.  

She is a famous model and a lot of people knows her and like her and I am a Rheinford that is the apple of the eye of the people in business world because I am also one of the person who will inherit our business.
