Chapter 33 - Love is Not Enough to Keep Someone

*Corona's POV*

Hindi ko sigurado na sa paghingi ko nang tawad ay matatapos na ang lahat. But I genuinely hope that from here on everything will be alright and that all of us will live our lives with peace and happiness.

Sa ngayon, alam ko na yung sinasabi nilang pakiramdam na para kang nabunutan ng tinik. Para bang nawala yung mabigat na dinadala ko sa dibdib ko. I know I'm still not perfectly fine after what happened to my child.

But I think mahaharap ko na yung anak ko at masasabi sa kaniyang daddy made a progress. That daddy no longer bare any grudge to the person who took our baby's life. I was able to forgive the person who hurt me by apologizing in return.

It's ironic but I felt that I have to apologize for I have hurt him too. Hindi ko sinasabing deserve ng baby ko na mawala, but I just want to correct things that should've been corrected noon pa lang. We both deserve apologies and forgiveness.

"Ahh," I blurted as tears trickled down my cheeks.

Why are my tears keep on falling? Tinatraydor ako ng mga mata ko na ngayon ay tumatangis. Have I grown weak for me to cry like this?

But I think this kind of thing is okay, paminsan minsan. Crying is not a sign of weakness after all. At isa pa, I've been through a lot, haven't I?

No. It's not just me. It is I and Rika. We've been through a lot of difficult things. If only I can bring back those times that things are normal between us, that we are living our normal lives, I would trade it for anything.

Are we having these difficulties dahil hindi pa kami handa? Are we really not ready yet para sa buhay mag-asawa? Are we too young for our love? Ito ba yung sinasabi nilang 'right love at the wrong time.'

Why does Rika and my child have to endure these things because of me? It is because I'm not ready. I am incomplete.

I guess, I still need more time to be someone worthy of Rika and my child. Kulang pa din ako. Hindi pa din ako sapat. After all those big talks and promises, I did what I can to keep our family but a lot of things happened na para bang sinasabi sakin na hindi sapat ang pagmamahal ko to keep and protect Rika and my child.

Ahh, my weakness is eating me up. Why was my inferiority complex succumbing me right now? I can't think straight. My pride, my weakness, it's all coming at me.

Akala ko noon, basta mahal mo yung tao, okay na yon. Hindi pala. I never knew that you need to be ready in this kind of thing.

Love is not something taken for granted. Love is not petty. It is something you have to be serious about and take all things into consideration. And that's where I got it wrong.

Buong akala ko, sapat na yung mahal ko siya. Akala ko sapat na yung mahal namin ang isa't isa. I never thought my love could hurt her too. I couldn't protect her. My love is not enough.

Sinasabi kong nasa tabi niya ako palagi gaya ng pangako ko pero anong magagawa noon? Had I been mentally ready, I could've prevented things from getting out of hand. My child would still be here. Buo pa din siguro sana kaming pamilya.

Truth be told, you have to be ready to love someone, that means mentally, physically, and emotionally. Love is not enough to keep someone.

Why do I always have to learn things the hard way?

*Rika's POV*

A lot has happened after nung magising ako mula sa pag hostage sakin ni Viquitu. I've heard from Corona that he asked forgiveness from Viquitu. He told me that Viquitu broke down and that his family came and they talk things over.
