Colet's POV:

I kissed her lips but it's just a smack. I put the tip of our noses together after the kiss and stared at her puffy yet perfect eyes.

“Babu, speak up please. Hindi ako sanay na tahimik ka.”

Suddenly, her tears began to pour again, she silently wiped them away and did not move that made me feel even worse.

“Babu, I know that all of the things I did to express my love for you are little in comparison to the way you express your love for me. You were watching over me at the hospital, protecting my family, taking care of me during our stay in Zürich, and you're looking after me now that we've returned home to the Philippines... I will never be able to repay or equal your affection. But it doesn't imply I no longer love you and will choose to cheat on you.” I kissed her hand where her ring is. I planted a kiss three times.

“I may not be able to give you material things because I cannot afford them. But what I can offer you is my entire heart.”

Tears completely flowed from her eyes. She didn't bother to hold back any longer, she let it flow down her cheeks. I kissed her hands firmly before I wiped the tears from her eyes and both cheeks.

“I can't guarantee you anything to make you love me, Jho. But all I need is for you to trust me, to trust me that I will not do anything to hurt you, to trust me that I will not break your heart, to trust me that I love you and that it will never change, to trust me that all I care about is making you the happiest.” I wiped the tears that kept flowing down her red cheeks.

“The one you saw earlier at my house was Andrea. She WAS a friend. A good friend. I didn't expect she would do that earlier, I was also surprised by what she did.” I explained to her firmly. I know she was deeply hurt, but this is the right time for me to make her understand what really happened before it's too late.

“The scene you have witnessed, before that, I was trying to stop her from being clingy and pressing our bodies together. I don't know why she came to our house since there's no occasion naman, she didn't even inform me nor my family. I swear I didn't expect her to go beyond like that. She locked me into her embrace and suddenly kissed me. Her sudden actions made my body freeze in shock. Please, believe me, Jho. Hindi kita sasaktan ng ganun-ganon lang.” She looked at me, her eyes were red from crying. I wiped away her tears and kiss her on the lips.

I don't know, I just felt like there were no other words that could explain things to her right now and make her feel better.

When she didn't answer, I eventually stopped kissing her. I sat down in a spot next to her and hugged her.

“Mahal, Jho. What can I do to make you feel better? Please, kahit ano. Gagawin ko.” She just shook her head and still didn't utter a single word. I kissed her on her temple. I am starting to get frustrated with her responses. But I have no reason to complain.

Pagtiyagaan mong ibalik ang tiwala niya, Nicolette. Kasalanan mo 'to kaya kayanin mo. Malay mo, ito na ang huling araw na makakasama mo siya.

I have to be patient with her. If I had to put up with her harshness before, understanding her now isn't any more of a sacrifice.

“Mahal, kumain ka na ba?” I softly asked in a low voice.

Jhoanna: “I don't want to eat.” Her first sentence that made me take away some of my worries.

“You need to eat, Babu.” I stood up and left her room. I went to their kitchen and searched for food. Fortunately, her mom followed me and helped me prepare food for her daughter.
