River's PoV
Pagkadating ko sa bahay naririnig ko na mula sa labas ang sigaw ng nanay ko kaya dali dali akong tumakbo at pumasok only to see her slapping my wife.
Sobrang kumulo ang dugo ko sa nakita ko. Not only because she's hurting my wife but also... because Trixie's not even fighting against my mom. What does she think she's doing?!
Pagkaalis ni mama kokomprontahin ko sana si Trixie but then I saw her fidgeting with her hands... head down and quiet.
I took a deep breath and squatted in front of her only to see her about to burst into tears
"Hey... fck Trixie are you hurt?! Fck!" Tarantang sambit ko dito but I was confused to hear her say sorry instead
"What? Why?"
"I... I messed your family up... I... I messed you up... I'm sorry... I'm sorry River"
"Hey... what are you saying??? Fck don't cry baby..." sambit ko sitting beside her to hug her
"I messed up... I.. I..."
"No... don't say that goddamn it"
"If... if you... if you choose to... to follow your mom it's... it's fine... I'd be willing to leave..."
"What?! No! Just please calm down and talk to me... don't... don't even talk about leaving me again please"
" I won't but if... if you'd..."
"I would never ask the person I longed for three years gone just because of my mom. Don't even think about that. Don't leave me. Please. No." Sambit ko hugging her as tight as possible at dun lang siya humikbi pagkatapos
"I'm sorry River... I'm sorry..."
"Sshhh stop... we've forgiven each other already... right? Please stop crying..."
"I love you River..."
"I love you Xie... don't even think I'd want you gone again. I'd rather be dead if that happens"
Trixie's PoV
"You good?" Tanong niya when I pulled away
"D-di ba dapat nasa office ka?" Tanong ko wiping my tears away but he pulled my hand and wiped them off himself
"Zac texted me. I came rushing back"
"Hala, eh di ba may meetings ka??"
"Fck those meetings Trixie, my family is my priority"
"River..."
"Y-you're not gonna leave me right? Please tell me you're not... please"
"I'm not going to... I... I just thought if... if ever your mom convince you and tell me to go... then I will... b-but if you still want me to stay..."
"Of course I want you to stay who cares about what my mom wants?? Don't scare me like that please"
"I'm sorry..."
"Stop apologizing, Xie"
"Sige na... pumasok ka na. Okay lang ako"
"No"
"Ha?"
"I'm not going anywhere"
"P-pero..."
"Daddy!" Sigaw ng anak ko when he went out of his room. Binuhat naman siya ng papa niya.
"I will do my work here. I won't leave you guys alone again. Not anymore"
"River..."
"My mom saw me break myself down but it's nobody's fault. Not even you. So she doesn't have the right to just storm inside my own house and treat the girl I love the trash that she has to throw out"
"But..."
"Cheer up okay? Can you give me some snacks please?"
"S-sure... uhm" sambit ko standing up but he hugged me from behind making me frozen
"Don't scare me like that again Xie... I don't want you to go... never will I ever want you to..."

Beautiful Mistake
RomanceKasal kayo pero sa tuwing mananaginip siya pangalan ng ex niya binabanggit nito, and you hear his every plea everytime he says her name. May anak kayo pero sa tingin mo wala kayong halaga sa kanya dahil dito. You hear him say things he's never told...
