Natulala ako sa kanya dahil sa sinabi niya. Right, I did looked at him that way.
"It was a joke."
"What?" He asked, confused.
"The text. I really sent it to you."
Mas lalong kumunot ang noo niya.
"Why, Amara?" He asked kaya napaiwas ako ng tingin.
"Are you not gonna ask about it anymore?" I asked him, referring to our break up.
I heard him let out a deep sigh kaya napalingon ako sa kanya. He's staring at me intently.
Uminom muna siya ng beer kaya nakita ko kung paano gumalaw ang adam apple niya. I suddenly feel thirsty, damn. Kaya napainom rin tuloy ako, and this time, inubos ko na ang nasa can.
"I want to ask, but I want you to talk about it, Amara." Sabi niya kaya nabaling ko sa kanya ang tingin.
Nagkatitigan kami, matagal. I then looked away.
"Are you gonna listen now?" I asked in a small voice.
Napapikit ako ng bigla niya kong hinila at niyakap, burying my face on his chest. Nagukat ako pero mas nangibabaw ang kagustuhan sa init na nakukuha galing sa katawan nito. I embraced his warmth.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not listening." He whispered on my ear.
Napakapit ako sa laylayan ng damit niya dahil sa init ng hininga niya na nararamdaman. Napalunok pa ako ng ilang beses.
"I promise not to let anger consume me next time. I don't want to lose you, Amara, and I'm willing to change so you could stay with me." Sabi niya at mas hinigpitan ang yakap sa 'kin.
I can't help but be teary eyed because of him.
"It hurts, Archer." Sabi ko kaya napabitaw siya sa 'kin at agad sinapo ang mukha ko.
"Alin ang masakit?" Nag aalalang tanong niya kaya nag iwas ako ng tingin.
"Ang puso ko." I said in a low voice. "Everytime you're mad, you tend to push me away. Nakakapagod ang ganon, Archer. Ayoko ng ganon, masyadong masakit sa puso."
Di ko na maiwasang manubig ang mata dahil sa sinabi ko. Napahinga ako ng malalim para kumalma.
"Fuck," He cursed and pulled me again.
He rested his face on the crook of my neck and his arms encircling around my waist.
"I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry. I'm really gonna try my best to change. I'm gonna listen to you first, I'm always gonna wait for your explanation... I'm so sorry for hurting you, Amara." His voice is now full of pain.
"That's why I'm scared of getting back together with you. What if you do it again?"
"I won't, I promise I won't. I don't want to lose you again so I know, I won't." He whispered.
Hindi na ako umimik pagkatapos nun. I want him to start asking questions now, I want to answer his questions, too.
I know it confused him when I was suddenly leaving. I can't blame him that he got mad especially that he saw me packing my things after leaving him asleep.
"I'm sorry," I told him kaya napaangat ang tingin niya sa 'kin.
"For what?" He asked kaya napaiwas ako ng tingin.
"For leaving again even I promised I'll never." Sabi ko at napanguso pa.
He held my chin and made me face him. I saw how he's intently staring at me.
