Anastasia's POV
We stayed in that position for minutes until we finally broke the hug at I stopped crying.
He face me and put the strands of my hair na nasa mukha ko sa likod ng aking tenga.
"Let's buy you a bubble tea." he insisted and I smiled at him.
He really knows how to lift up my mood.
"Xaven." I called him while we're walking on the way sa cafe.
"Hmmm?"
"Am I a disappointment?" tanong ko sa kanya na mukhang ikinagulat siya.
My head was bowed down and I am knly focusing on the semented floor.
"Why do I always fail to prove everyone that I am worth their attention? That I am also deserving to be accepted. Dad. Was it so difficult to love me?" my voice cracked.
"Ganun ba ako kahirap mahalin na kailangan ko pa na patunayan sarili ko sa kanila? Kasi napapagod na akong patunayan ang sarili ko. Kasalanan ko ba na hindi ko maabot ang expections nila?"
"Hindi kaba napapagod mahalin ako, Xaven? Palagi nalang kitang tinuturing na kakumpetensya sa lahat ng bagay. Hindi kaba napapagod dun?" I pleadingly asked him while tears was pooling on my eyes.
Nagulat ako ng bigla niya akong niyakap. I dug my face into his nape and gripped on his shirt.
"How can I be tired of loving you when your existence is more than enough reason to love you more." he assured me.
"You did nothing wrong by just proving yourself to be accepted and to reach their expectations. It was never your fault that you can't reach them. It was theirs because they expected high on you without thinking about damage they caused." he seriously said.
He kissed my forehead at pinagpatuloy ang paglalakat papuntang cafe.
He ordered me salted caramel boba and a strawberry cake slice.
I spent my whole afternoon with him while laughing at his corny jokes.
When the day finally ended, I stopped in our door step. Thinking kung ano gagawin ni Dad saakin. For sure nalaman na niya ito.
When I twist the door knob I saw him seating in the couch while drinking his coffee.
He glanced at me for a second at binaling ulit ang tingin sa newspaper na kanyang binabasa.
Hindi niya ako papagalitan?
I walked past him towards my room with shock in my face.
How come he did not scold me? Was there something off?
I signed in relief. Both my body and soul are tired so I do not have time to handle his sermon.
