"Hindi lahat ng pakiramdam mo mali, mali na agad. Kung may hindi ka pa nalalaman" sabi ni mommy while I cry in her arms.

Fast forward

I arrived in Tokyo, the gloomy weather sorrounding the city, I grabbed my suitcase and walked to the taxi bay.

Last time na nag japan ako, mommy Nadia is still alive, I remember sinundan ko sya dito.

While I was waiting I saw a familiar figure, it was David.

Lumapit sya saakin at tumingin saakin ng malalim.

"Fancy seeing you here ms. Araneta, you're traveling alone?" He asked.

I nodded.

"San hotel mo? Hatid na kita" sabi nya at ngumiti.

"May sasakyan ka?" I asked.

"It's borrowed, sa kaibigan ko dito" he said.

David's point of view

"Bakit ka andito? I mean travel lang? Out of the country or business?" I asked.

"Business" she simply replied.

"Ako din, share ko lang ha business din punta ko dito, I actually didn't want to come kaso napilit ako" sabi ko habang nag mamaneho.

"How come ikaw ang nag d-drive hindi ba tayo mawawala?" She asked.

"Easy ka lang, san hotel mo?" I asked.

"Peninsula" sabi nya.

"Then peninsula it is, I noticed you're wearing the ring?" I asked.

Nakita ko ang pagkataranta nya at hinubad yung singsing at tsaka ipinatanong sa isang compartment sa sasakyan.

"Oh? Bakit mo hinubad? You can wear it, and keep it, hindi ko bibigyan ng meaning maybe you really just like the ring, at hindi yung nagbigay" I sarcastically said.

"Why did you asked me for marriage?" She asked.

I chuckled

"Hindi pa ba obvious? I love you, I see myself spending the rest of my life with you, if hindi mo lang ako tinataboy" sabi ko.

"I mean, who would want to marry me—" pinutol ko ang sasabihin nya.

"Ako nga, I'll marry you, and im sure madami ding lalaki dyan ang gusto ka pakasalan" Sabi ko.

We arrived at the peninsula

"Ingat ka, tawagan mo ako if you need someone or a ride" sabi ko.

She got her phone and called someone, seconds later my phone rang.

The next morning
Gia's point of view

I woke up, flashbacks of last night started to play in my head. I looked at the guy who lays naked beside me.

We had sex.

I grabbed the comforter and my clothes from last night to wear it. I went to the bathroom to take a shower, while I was doing so, thoughts suddenly came up, tama ba tong ginagawa ko na to? I initiated everything last night, takot akong masaktan ko si David, although alam kong mas sinasaktan ko sya na im pushing him away.

It's scary how I want to give up everything just to start and fix everything with David, I don't care if it will take a lifetime to teach myself to commit to him, to give him all of me.

Fast forward

The conference ended, im here in NAIA waiting for my sundo.

"Just message me ok? I love you, I'll see you next week" sabi ko through the phone.
