"Is that true?"


I looked at Jaxon as I heard his heavy sigh. He gazed at me and continued looking at the night sky. Sobrang ganda ng buwan at ng mga bituin. We just finished our dinner with his family and now we're here at their garden, nagpapalamig at nag-uusap kaming dalawa.


"Ang daldal naman kasi," He held his nape and looked at me. He sighed again and he nodded. "I would do anything just to make you stay, Viviana." He looked at the sky again. "Hayaan mo sila, dati pa naman na 'yon. Pinipilit ko pa." He softly chuckled, pero 'yong tawa niya na 'yon, may sakit.


It's time to compromise, Viviana.


It's time to make him your priority. 


It's time to make it up to him. 


If you love him, you will do anything for him. 


Give and take.


I know that he dedicated his life for me at 'yong sa akin, parang wala pa sa kalahati nung kaniya pero that's how I am and I know he deserves the best kaya kailangan kong ibigay sa kaniya 'yon nang kusang luob. Ilang taon na rin ang nakalipas, I guess I'm already better and going the best for him.


Ayon lang ang pumapasok sa utak ko ngayon. Alam kong ayon din ang gusto ng puso ko. It's now or never. Jaxon is consistent is giving me assurance about him staying and understanding me but I can't live with that, I can't think that he's doing that while me, I can't do anything for him. Gusto kong bumawi.


"What are your plans? What are you feeling right now?" I asked him.


"Nothing much. I'm just happy because we're like this. Plans, I always have my plans and you're always included in that." He looked straight into my eyes.


Alam ko naman.


"Are you free tomorrow?" I asked him as I looked on my phone para tingnan ko ang schedule ko bukas. Wala naman akong clinic schedule tomorrow, pero binabantayan ko pa rin ang emergency calls, siyempre. Palagi. Dahil ayon naman ang trabaho ko talaga. 


His mood lightens up and his eyes and his smile... it says it all. Lumiwanag ang mukha at pakiramdam niya. He quickly nodded while he was smiling. Abot tengang ngiti 'yan ni Jaxon. his excitement, hindi na talaga nawawala. Ever since high school, ganiyan na siya.


"Kahit 1 week pa, Viviana. Libreng libre ako palagi para sa'yo." Jaxon held my hand, nakangiti rin akong nakatingin sa kaniya dahil sa sobrang tuwa ko. "Oh my god, you're smiling! Oh my!" He emoted, agad niyang nilabas ang phone niya at tinutok sa akin. Nakangiti lang ako at biglang kumunot ang noo ko nang marealize ko 'yong ginawa niya. "Why?! Say hi, smile ka lang. Palagi kang maganda at mas lalo ka pang gumaganda kapag nakangiti ka." He told me while capturing this moment.


"Is that a video?" I asked.


"Yeah." He nodded while smiling.
