"okay listen imee! i don't wanna hide this anymore. i am tired, i am tired facing all those people's knowing that i'm lying infront of them. i am tired seeing you with others imee!! i am fucking tired when your mother keeps pushing you to flirt with others she thinks you'll fit in but fuck imee you are not belong to them because you belong here imee" rodrigo tapped his chest like he was sure that imee was belong to his heart
"you are belong with me imee" rod continue as the tears keep flooding from his eyes.
how they went from here? all he knew he was just a bodyguard of the daughter of the president of the Philippines and justa snap of the finger.... he's inlove.... deeply inlove to the daughter of president, it's been a months since they became together.
hiding from those thick walls, sneaking in midnight with a snacks from their hands, having a talks when no one was around. kissing eachother beneath of the starry skies, dancing in a dark place where no one cannot see them. having their time together is a precious they wouldn't forget even its means for imee that she was risking, risking the situation of her and risking the job of rod.
imee didn't know how or when she fall for her body guard, all she knew she was annoyed by the idea that she was surronds with those PSG but then she just found herself one day kissing her body guard she love inside the library of the palace where the cctv is forbidden because her father's doesn't want anyone to interfere his business, that day put imee in awe. she was indenial and she did tried to ran away and forget her feelings but she was too late because she already doomed by the love of her man.
if there's one more thing she wanted to stay is that the love of rod for her, they aware that they both risking their situation and profession but the love between them cannot profound those risking words, they feel scared to be honest but they can't let go eachother because that's mean of killing themselves.
imee was lonely that even she was surronds by people's she can't still feel that she has somebody but thanks to rod who stay with her, who agreed to be patient for her but now as she watch rod cried infront of her she knew, it's done. they done and rod was tired and so she is
how come they went from this? yesterday they are stranger that turn into friends that jump from being lovers that becoming stanger again, Imee knew rod was tired but he can't leave imee in this state. not this time that imee was ready to kneel from all of the gods to beg for rod to stay but nope, the decision of rod is unbreakable and imee knew rod very well that's if he has a decision that's mean that will be unbreakable and there's no will be another side again
but how about the promise they made for eachother? that no matter what happen they will keep their relationship? that even the world despised them they still have eachother? what happened? what happened to the vows they made in the middle of tranquility forest when they sneaking at night? why they got tired when they promise to themselves that no matter what barrier it will be they still have eachother to conquer.
"please don't do this to me" imee held the hands of rod but she immediately pulled herself away when some of psg come to their way, imee looked at rod eyes.
"that's what i'm talking about" rod whispered then imee looked at the psg beside her and mouthed leave us which the psg did.
"we can't hide this anymore imee. we can't fight for this anymore" imee wiped her tears.
"you can't fight for us rod! but i can and i did tell you, you just fucking need to be patient on me because i can rod! just give me time" rod scoffed.
"then what do you think i'm doing imee! you know i never pressure you, never in our relationship. i never pushed you to do the things you never wanted to do and even we hide this forever imee i don't care, because i love you so much but seeing you flirting with another guys because your mom pushing you, it's a heartbreak i cannot bare anymore imee"
imee sighed, she knew everything will go to this but she never been ready for this. she wiped her tears again
"but i love you rod. i cannot.....i can't...fuck don't leave me" imee said and ran her fingers on her hair before she exasperatedly sighed.
"i'm not leaving you imee because i am your body guard but this relationship will just lead us to nothing so we better cut this thing off before your mother caught us"
imee again hold the hands of rod, never in her life she felt happy. not when she was with rod, those thick walls who witnessed how she suffer everytime because the expectations are too much to handle, how her bathroom become her comfort when no one knows she was crying the shit out of her. those mattress and pillows who's hugging her body when no one was there for her but when rod came to her way, she don't need those thick walls, bathroom and mattress or pillow to comfort her anymore because all she need is rod to be there for her.
those immense silence stared they shared are enough for her to calm herself, rod knows her. rod was the only one who tried to know her but if its too much if the forbidden love of rod and her is the only thing she wanted to last? those luxury are nothing compare to the feeling rod made her feel.
she was in a cage for a long time but rod is the only person who let her out.
"please---"
"imee!" imee words cut when she heard her mother calling her, she immediately fix herself and wiped her tears before she breath in.
then she looked at rod again "I'm sorry" she mouthed but before rod can answer her
"there you are! god imee, where are you go i was finding you the whole time" imelda uttered looking at her one and only Daughter.
yep, imee was the only child of the family so the pressure is on above her head.
"and mr. duterte, glad you are here! sorry for my stubborn Daughter, you know she always like this. she never act on her age"
"mommy!!"
"well i'm telling the truth, your the pain of our ass imee. Why'd you always running away! i can't understand you, you should be the one who always there for your father. imee, you need to be like him for you to order to carry the genes of the marcos" imee looked away because any moment the tears will be explode from her eyes. imee sighed.
"just accept it mom. i will never be like daddy. i want to be a teacher not to be a fucking lawyer. why can't you just understand that!"
"imee!" imelda glared at her daughter, there's no way she will accept the fact that her daughter wants to be a teacher and not to be a lawyer.
it will slapped that for her.
"i am telling the truth mom! i never wanted to be like dad" a slapped landed on imee face but as she looked at her mother there's no any expression painted on her face.
rod on the other hand was concerned and about to hold imee when imelda glared at him so he didn't move nor speak.
"you will be like him imee! you are just a kid that's why you can tell that"
"i am not fucking kid anymore!"
"then you act like one imee, act like you deserved to be treated being adult. how could i let you did your own decision when you let yourself be inlove with your body guard" then Imelda looked at rod.
the world stopped as the glare of imelda caught their guard off. how? when? what?
"momm---"
"don't explain. leave him imee because if you don't you know what i can do" then imelda looked at rod
"and you. make sure i will never see your face here again"
"mommy!!"
"your putting your life in danger imee, you such a stubborn" then with no answer from the two imelda left them, imee looked at rod but rod just wiped his tears and leave imee dumbfounded.
why is so hard to love someone you truly love?
