Chapter 39
I don't really remember that I have already loved someone like how I love Yves now. I also don't remember if someone already loved me for who I am before – aside from my family, of course.
I haven't really experienced entering a serious relationship like this. Serious but complicated though. Despite of that, I'm somehow happy with Yves. Ang pagmamahal na hindi ko naramdaman noon ay nararamdaman ko sa kaniya ngayon.
I know that he likes me.. even more than that. I can feel it. Pero nang marinig ko mismo sa bibig niya ang salitang 'yon – nagulat ako at halos hindi ako makapaniwala. Para akong naging bingi nang bigla dahil doon.
It's already 8 in the evening and we just had our dinner in front of the sea. It was very romantic because of the lights and some red roses around us. I know that he made this prepared. Talagang bumabawi siya sa akin. Ang lahat ng ginagawa niya ngayon ay binubura lahat ng lungkot at inis ko sa kaniya noong mga nakaraang araw.
I appreciate his efforts a lot.
“Dito ka lang. 'Wag ka masyadong lumayo..”
Napangiti naman ako kaunti dahil sa sinabi niya. I was supposed to walk nearer to the shore to touch the waves but he stopped me from doing so. I didn't know that he's this clingy. Kanina pa siya nakahawak sa kamay ko. I'm not complaining though. I'm just surprised a little.
I expected him to be just cold all the time. 'Yon pala, hindi naman.
"Have you been in a beach before?” he asked all of a sudden. Nakaupo na kami ngayon sa buhangin habang tinatanaw ang buwan. Nakasandal ang ulo ko sa balikat niya.
“Not yet," I answered as I closed my eyes. I'm just so comfortable with him na parang matagal ko na siyang kilala.
He didn't answer for a moment. Malalim lang ang paghinga niya. When I opened my eyes, the moonlight immediately caught my attention. The moon reminds me of Yves. It's cold not unlike the sun. Kalmado lang ang buwan. Minsan hindi buo pero nakukumpleto pa rin ako katulad ni Yves.
He completed me.
“I've been in Maldives and also some beaches in Thailand but I've never been to beaches here in the Philippines," dagdag ko pa. “Ngayon lang ako nakapunta rito at maganda rin pala.
Naramdaman ko naman ang pagtango niya. “Sa susunod kung gusto mo.. pupunta tayo sa probinsya namin. I'll take you there. I'm sure you'll like it there, too..”
“Really? Where's your province?" I suddenly became excited. Inangat ko pa ang tingin para lang makita siya.
“Puricia Grittonia..”
My smile faded with what I heard. Kumunot din ang noo ko. I felt something when I heard that place again.
“I.. haven't heard that province before. It's not familiar," pagsisinungaling ko kahit matagal na akong ginugulo ng lugar na 'yon kahit talagang hindi pa naman ako nakapunta.
