Chapter 62

Endless love

LUKE ROBERT UY

Days has passed and I'm not really okay with the surroundings right now.

Knowing everything you've done to someone is just wasted and gone to nothing.

Lies. Those fucking lies of her haunts me. I never thought that she could create a massive explosion to her life, my life and someone's life.

I stood up as I look at her. She is so innocent on the outside but shattered to pieces inside.

"I'm going." Maikling deklara ko. Napatigil sila at napatingin sa akin ng may may bahid ng pagtataka sa kanila.

"Luke, we need to talk." She broke the silence. I just nodded and follow her outside the office.

By just looking at her, she is completely perfect... perfect for me. She is the one that who deserves my love.

Every step she make, I'm hopelessly nervous that she might fall or something. She is so fragile.

I love her. Every inch and every angle of her. I love the way she talk, the way she moves, the way she react, the way she fight for something. I love her even though she lied to me... even my parents don't like her family, I still love her.

Maybe that's why kuya Lucas sacrifice himself just to make me live. Because she wanted me to take care and love her whoever and whatever she is.

We stayed on the tree where she and Aldrin used to stay. It's really calm from here and you can see also the pond where swans swim.

It's a complete silence for both of us. Until I took a deep breathe as she took a deep breathe too.

"I'm sorry." For a second, I was a little bit confuse why she is apologizing but then I realized maybe because of what happened earlier.

"It's not your fault. Besides, you still did the right thing. Forget it." I said in a monotone voice. I'm used to it. This is new to me.

"Forget it? How?!" I was shock knowing she is now raising her voice and then stared at her for a moment. Even she is mad, she has the guts to be beautiful.

"Damn! All my life is full of lies and hatred. And now, you're telling me to forget it? Ten years is long to forget but why I still remember it?! Why past still haunts me?!" She shouted and shouted and shouted! She is mad at me, she mad at her past and experience.

I don't know what to say so I just hug her tightly. A little sobs came out from her. She is deeply in pain.

"Forgetting is not about you don't remember a thing... is about how will you lessen the pain." I said calmly and tried to comfort her.

It's really hard seeing the one you love is in pain. You can also feel her pain which it's more painful.

I want to make her happy but how can I if I'm part of her painful past? I could lessen the pain and maybe I can also add pain to her. I don't want to give her that, I can't take it.

She suddenly remove her arms around my back and push me away from her. At first, I was shocked but I suddenly realized... it was really awkward for her.

"Why did you let me go?" I teased her just to lessen the bad atmosphere in us. And she smiled alittle bit and her face get red.

"Di ko alam kung ano ba ang dapat iwasan marinig... ang iyak ko o ang heartbeat mo?" I got stunned by what she said. Heartbeat? I placed my hand in my heart and I could feel the fast race of it. I grinned at her.
