Veronica's PoV
I opened my eyes with Orion sitting on the side of the bed. He seemed to notice na nagising na ko so he looked at me. I bit my lip out of shame...
"Please don't tell me you're gonna cry again?"
Umiling ako covering my eyes.
"Hey... geez until when are you gonna cry seeing me?"
"A-akala ko... akala ko hindi na kita makikita..."
"And where would I even go, huh? My company's here"
"L-landon said y-you're leaving..."
"Leaving you alone. Not leaving the country"
Natahimik na lang ako pagkatapos nun... I don't even know where to start. Hindi ko alam san ako magsisimula sa paghingi ng tawad sa kanya
"Hey you're not yet fine what are you doing?" Tanong niya but I knelt down on the bed looking down
"Veronica?"
I grabbed my dress before getting the courage to speak
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry for pushing you away... for... for being an indecisive person... f-for hurting you... for... confusing you... I'm sorry... I know I was wrong I—"
I still wanted to go on and on for everything that I did wrong but my words stopped when he held both my hands
"Look at me" sambit niya na inilingan ko
"Look at me, tsk" pag-uulit niya holding both my hands in one of his, and lifting my chin up with the other
"I'm not asking you for anything. Not even this" simula niya, fixing my knees to remove them from the kneeling position
"All I'm saying is... I want you to be honest with me. With us. Nasaktan ako. Kasi akala ko nakita mo na sa panahong nagkasama tayo that it's not all about the sex that we're still with you. I'm disappointed that you still think that low of us when all we... all I wanted was for your life to be okay. For you to be safe. Damn if I wanted you pregnant, I would've done it from the very beginning and not do foreplays. Naiintindihan mo ba yun ha? Veronica?"
Para akong batang tumatango sa sinasabi niya.
"Nanny Vangie was one of the reasons we approached you, yes. I wasn't agreeing to this setup before, yes. I'm not even into having babies before. But getting to know you... getting to know you made me want that you to stay beside me. With us. Oo komplikado. Pero wala akong pakialam. Wala kaming pakialam. Pero kung ikaw yung may ayaw, wala sa ugali ko ang magpumilit Veronica. It hurts me to think that you assumed we could just fuck and go like you're some sort of a stop over. I don't fuck a person I don't even know. I don't just go around and fuck whoever I want. Hindi ako ganung kasamang tao, Veronica"
"I know..."
"Now I don't want to assume that you came here drenching yourself in the rain just to talk to me, just because you felt guilty..."
"No... hindi ganun..."
"Then tell me Veronica. Tell it straight to my face. Tell me the truth. And whatever that truth is, kahit hindi ko magustuhan, then I'd be willing to just move on and let you go"
Orion's PoV
I sighed when she stood silent and was about to stand up and get some air but she grabbed my hand.
"Kung dadaanin mo ko sa silent treatment, ako na bahala umintindi sa ibig sabihin—"
"Importante ka na sakin Orion... kayo ni Landon..." panimula niya so I sat back down
"Seeing you tirelessly take care of Landon... tapos dumagdag pa ko... I... I'm not used to the setup that someone other than my brother cared for me like you did. I feel burdened na... na baka pinapahirapan na kita... kayo... I feel like... I'm being useless depending on you... hindi ako sanay na... na may nag-aalala sakin..."
"That's why you tried pushing us away?"
"O-oo... kasi... ma... mababawasan yung problema niyo pag... pag wala na ko sa tabi niyo..." sambit niya pero pinitik ko lang ang noo niya bilang tugon
"Aray!"
"Pwede ba wag ka ngang paladesisyon?"
"H-ha?"
"Burden? Useless? Sino nagsabi niyan sayo?"
"W-wala"
"Wala naman pala bakit mo iniisip yon?"
"I'm sorry..."
"Veronica a burden is considered a burden if it is unwanted. Kung ayaw kitang alagaan at napipilitan ako, dun. Pabigat ka pag ganun" pagpapaliwanag ko
"Sa tingin mo ba napipilitan ako? Ha?" Tanong ko na inilingan niya lang pagkatapos
"Yun naman pala. Useless? Your mere presence is useful to make me sane, Veronica. Nahihirapan ako sa sitwasyon ni Landon minsan at ikaw ang nagpapagaan nun. Same goes when you do your indecisiveness with me, Landon keeps me grounded and understanding. Kung ako magsabi na useless ka, dun mo sabihing useless ka para saken, samen"
"Orion..."
"Isa pang pagtataboy mo talaga, hindi mo na ko makikita" sambit ko just to tease her but she immediately became sad and was about to tear up kaya tumabi ako sa kanya to hug her
"Geez woman. Mauubusan ka na ng tubig sa katawan kakaiyak. May lagnat ka pa wag ka ngang iyak ng iyak!"
