Midnight in December (BINI Series #2)

Chapter 46: Hold Me and Never Let Me Go

Aiah's POV

Gusto kong maramdaman yung kilig kahit papano para sa mga efforts ni Jeremy sa akin. Gusto kong iparamdam din naman sa kanya na kahit papano, naappreciate ko ang mga efforts niya para sakin.

I wish ganon na lang, the one who gives the more effort, sa kanya ka mafo-fall. Siya ang hahanap-hanapin mo. Sa kanya ka mangangarap ng mga gusto mong gawin sa mga susunod at susunod pang araw na darating sa inyo.

But Love? It is plain stupid. It makes us, too, stupid.

I know, by the way I looked into her eyes a while ago, that her eyes means the opposite of her actions.

She is hurting. But she's trying to be happy. What she doesn't know is that it is her that I want and need.

She still love me. I know it. I can feel it.

"Jeremy, we need to talk." Sabi ko sa lalaking kaharap ko ngayon. Hawak-hawak pa rin niya ang bouquet na binibigay niya sakin pero hindi ko tinaggap. He nodded.

"What is it about?" He asked. Now I can see his eyes shaking. Shaking from fear. From pain.

"About this." I said. Kinuha ko ang pandora necklace na binigay sa akin ni Mikha noong birthday ko, na lagi kong dala-dala sa may bulsa ko. Ayoko siyang isuot noon dahil hindi pa kami ayos ni Mikha, and I want her to be the only person a magsusuot sakin nito.

"A necklace?" He asked in disbelief. Okay, this is it. I told myself and breathed in deeply.

"This was given to me by a very very special person, Jeremy. I love that person. So much that I am willing to take the risks to have that person."

"It's not a family member?" Confusion is dominating him. But I cannot blame him. This is really confusing nga naman.

"No. I'm in love with someone else, Jeremy. Deeply in love with someone else." Nakatingin lang ako ng diretso sakanya.
