"Riguel?"

His body become stiff when he hear my voice crack. I didn't even know that my voice suddenly crack.

Cautiously, he walked towards my direction. Placed his right hand at my face while the other one was on my hip. Giving it a squeeze gently.

It made my insides throb. Attentively, butterflies creeping up in my system.

"I'm not mad at you Liliene. I will never be mad at you." 

I shake my head at his response. I know for a fact that  eventually he will be mad at me. He just didn't want me to believe it.

There was an anguish expression in his eyes. I just couldn't decipher if what I'm seeing is right or wrong. But, I know for sure that there was a sadness in his eyes that I see.

"You are not believing me, are you?"

"No, of course not. It just that I know, you being mad at me is okay Riguel. So, you don't need to sugarcoat it, but I believe you Riguel."

Silently, he rubbed the part of my neck. I was tickled by what he did and it gives me unknown feeling. Perhaps, tingling sensation.

"Being mad at you Liliene is useless and you knew it."

I just smirked at him. He's right.

"Thank you Liliene, for telling me your parts of you that traumatizing and your challenging experience. Thank you for being honest with me. Thank you for trusting me. Indeed, you are a fearless and tough woman. I'm proud of you LiIiene. I'm proud of being your husband. Always, remember that. I love you."

He knew how to make me cry. Lintek, I am crying again. But, hey not because I'm sad okay. But, because of Riguel flowering words. This is a happy tears.

My lips are smiling yet my eyes are crying. It normal, anyway.

Slowly, I tiptoe my foot and crouched my head at him to kiss him on his lips. He kissed me back. Asking for permission to open my mouth, and so I welcomed his tongue.

"I love you more, Riguel. You are the light that keeps the darkness away from me."
