He didn't answer me or maybe he didn't heard me? He remained silent like he's in deep thought.

"Hey," tawag ko pero di siya sumagot kaya tumingin na'ko sa kanya.

He smiled at me sadly so I smiled at him back. I got shocked when he suddenly owned my lips but after a while, I closed my eyes to feel him and pain started to develop in my chest.

He kissed me with pure adoration. He's kisses felt light yet deep that can make you feel different emotions. I felt his tears flow so I caressed his cheeks.

Don't be baby. Don't feel bad. Do what you want, I'm not stopping you. If this is what makes you happy, then fine, I'll let you.

Hinawakan niya ang aking baywang at mas idiniin ang halik. Napangiti tuloy ako kahit na may kirot sa aking puso dahil alam kong huli na ito.

Is it possible to feel this happy yet sad at the same time? Is it possible to feel peace despite the pain you're feeling right now? Why am I happy even though I know the fact that he'll betray and leave me soon?

Ngayon, ang mga luha ko naman ang tumulo.

I was happy. So happy, but I guess everything just fades away easily. Happiness is the feeling that I've been longing for but why can't it stay by my side? Why does it have to disappear easily? Is happiness really just a temporary feeling?

Kumalas siya sa halik at nagiwas tingin. Dali dali ko tuloy pinunasan ang luha at tumawa.

"My baby is moving a step to maturity," I said jokingly but he didn't answer. "You're a good kisser huh? Kanino ka nagpractice?"

"I-Ikaw lang p-po ang hinalikan k-kong babae..." I sighed at what I heard. Hanggang sa huli ay paninindigan niya ang pagpapanggap.

Can't you just let me see who you truly are? I want to see the real you baby. The real Greeman without pretending to be someone else. I want to see how you truly act. I want to hear you talk without using honorifics, I want you to talk to me comfortably. I want you baby... I want you to be with me... but I know that I can't... well atleast not now.

"T-Tara na p-po... mahuhuli na tayo sa flight..." nanginginig niyang sabi.

"W-What if I tell you that I w-want you to stay? W-Will you not leave me?" He didn't look at me.

"G-Gusto ko n-na pong umuwi..." bulong niya.

"I want to tell you something," buo na boses kong wika at pilit nagpapakatatag.

"A-Ano po yun?" Now, he can't look at me directly.

"You are mine. Mine and only mine," si Greeman ka man o Johnson. Akin ka lang.

"I-I am..." he whispered and I smiled when I saw him sobbed.

Natural na ba siyang iyakin o parte pa rin ba ito ng pagpapanggap niya? Either way, I still like him. I still like him who he is.

When I hugged him, he cried louder. Oh god, he's such a cry baby.

"Why are you crying?" I acted like I didn't know anything.
