Love Me on December

Epilogo

Thank you for keeping up with me even though I have revised this story for a year. I have decided to revise this one since this story will somehow be related to one of my series. I have changed a few events here in order to be connected to the "Melowski Series", which is still under revising and editing.

Anyways, thank you very much for your patience and support for me. May you all have a prosperous Christmas Holiday this year.

Let us end my second attempt at Christmas Series Special with my highest record of writing a man's point of view. Godspeed.

Epilogo: Acceptance

"Mahalin mo na lang ulit ako... sa susunod na Disyembre ng taon." I whispered sorely, staring back at her suppressing my emotions through a painful smile.

Her eyes fell away from my sight after a tear slid down to her cheek. Hindi ko na kayang magpigil ng nararamdaman ngayon, I wipe her tears now that I look at her with drenched eyes.

"I can't accept that we will be separated again, baby..." I whispered breathlessly and let out a deep sigh from stopping my tears.

Habang hindi pa ako natatapos sa pagpupunas ng mga basang luha sa kaniyang magkabilang pisngi ay mabilis na niya akong niyakap ng mahigpit.

"I'm gonna miss y-you..." She whispered on my chest as she hugged me tightly.

"I know, baby... I'm gonna miss you more and I'd die if I won't be able to see you again." Nakatingala ko nang utas, habang mariin nang nakapikit ang mga mata at niyayakap na rin siya ng mahigpit sa mga bisig ko.

"C-can I go back w-with y-you to the Philippines na lang, p-please?" She said when she finally withdraws from our tight embrace, at nagmamakaawang nang nakatingala sa'kin.

Natigilan na ako sa sinabi niya. I don't know how to say this to her... I don't want to refuse this request she's asking to me right now... pero wala akong magawa, may mabigat na problema pa akong aayusin pagkabalik ko roon na hindi dapat malaman ni Rita.

I let out a deep and tensed sigh. Hindi na ako makatingin sa mga namamasa at nagmamakaawang niyang mga mata sa'kin. Kung pwede lang itanan ko na siya ngayong gabi... baka tuluyan na nga talaga akong mapapatay ng pinsan niya kung gagawin ko nga iyon.

"Baby... I'm s-sorry, I can't bring you home for now..." Nangangalap na ako ng dahilan para paniwalaan niya ako.

"W-why?" Tears streamed down her cheeks briskly again.

Fck it! She's crying again and I'm just making it worst for her by doing nothing!

I gulped deeply and tried to stare back at her straight in the eyes.

"Ayokong umuwi ka ulit sa Pilipinas na maraming haharapin na problema." Pagkokombinsi ko sa kaniya, ayokong sabihin sa kaniya ang totoo.

Natatakot akong baka totohanin na ni Thaddeus na ipaghiwalay kami ni Rita 'pag isinama ko pa siya roon.

I saw how her emotions changed, looked away as she now pushed me away from her. Mas lalo na akong natatakot sa kilos at maaaring iniisip na niya ngayon.

"Really?" Galit na niyang asik sa'kin.

"B-baby, liste-"

"Really, Giftson? Dinala mo lang ba ako rito sa New York para iwanan sa gabing ito?!" She shouted at me as her tears briskly falls again from her angry eyes.

"Baby, it's not what you think. I've been longing to be with you-"

"No!" She screamed, umiiling na sa'kin at hindi na ako pinapaniwalaan.
