Knock, knock! Get the door, it's trauma!

My Girlfriend is made of glass

Small nose, caramel hair and hazel-brown orbs paired with creamy white skin. That's the definition of Gyx; my 3 years girlfriend whom I'm not allowed to touch. Well, hindi naman sa bawal, nagiingat lang.

We've been in this situation for years and until now, we still refuse to give up on each other no matter how hard the situation is.

Gyx was pure and had spirit. And if I let her go, it's like choosing pebble over a diamond.

That's why I always make sure that no harm befell my girl for I could already feel fierce protectiveness for her.

We were walking side by side, a meter apart from each other. Though, I want to hold her hand, my girlfriend is fragile like a glass; literally. And if I touch her, she might break.

Napansin kong maraming lalaki ang tumitingin sa kanya. I can't help for my eyebrows to furrowed, at napansin niya 'yon.

"May problema ba?" Gyx asked at iniiling ko ang ulo ko.

"They're staring at my property," I emphasized. "What's more painful is I couldn't even wrap my arms around your waist; so, they'll know that you're already mine."

Gyx blushed at my statement. "Their eyes won't take me away from you."

My heart melts. "I want to hold you right now."

"So do I. . ." she trailed off. "But-"

"Shh. I know." I stopped her midway. "Just know that even if I won't get the chance to touch you, you're still the girl that I want to hold in my arms for the rest of my life."

And if that day comes, I know that I'm born for her.

I accompanied Gyx to her room and piled the pillows and blankets around her.

Gyx, who's laying on bed, chuckled. "Parang masyado naman 'atang madami?"

I grinned. "S'yempre, para hindi ka masaktan. Alam ko namang malikot ka matulog." I looked at her when she didn't reply. "Bakit?"

"I love you."

My heart beats faster. "I love you, too."

"Can you lay beside me?" she pleased.

"B-But I don't want to hurt you -" She cut me, midway.

"'Wag ka mag-alala, may unan naman na maghihiwalay sa 'tin."

I sighed and laid beside her with a pillow separating the both of us. There was a moment of silence before she started talking.

"T-Thank you for staying with me. Alam kong nahihirapan ka rin sa ganitong klaseng set-up. Maiintindihan ko kung susukuan mo 'ko-"

"Hindi mangyayari 'yan," I said and stared at her, lovingly. "I won't give up on us just because the situation's not ideal."

Her tears started to form and it shatters my heart into pieces. "W-What if you'll get tired of me? Dahil sa kondisyon ko?"

"I got to admit, things weren't easy for the both of us, lately, but I'm proud of us for holding on. And, you know what I realized every end of the day?" I glanced at her. "Na ikaw pa rin ang pipiliin ko kahit sobrang hirap na ng sitwasyon."

"B-Bakit?"

"'Cause I know that it will never be easy." I smiled. "Baby, I don't care if it will put me face to face with endless obstacles with you. As long as I get the chance to be with you, we'll get through everything together."

I love her, even on bad days when she feel unlovable.

Nakatanggap ako ng mensahe mula kay Tita at sinabing isinugod daw nila si Gyx sa ospital.
