Chapter 25

Together

"Are you sure ayaw mo nang umuwi sa inyo? Mag-aalala sa 'yo ang Mommy mo... At least I'll talk to her."

Bumaling ako kay Kalyx.

We still have to face my Mom and his Dad, but Kalyx and I would face our problems together now...

"We will, Kalyx... But I want to rest for now." I said.

Agad naman siyang nag-alala para sa akin. "Are you okay? Are you not feeling well?"

Umiling naman ako sa kaniya at ngumiti. "No. I'm fine, Kalyx. I just want to rest for a while."

"Okay. How about food? Are you hungry?"

"Maybe later. Can I go to your room first?"

He immediately nodded. And he brought me to his room. "I will prepare food for later. I'll just order. Is that okay? What do you want?" He asked me.

"Hmm." Nag-isip naman ako sandali ng gusto kong kainin. And then after thinking for a while I told him what I wanted.

Tumango naman si Kalyx pagkatapos. "Okay. For now, you rest first."

I nodded and went to the bed. Humiga ako sa kama at magpapahinga na muna. While Kalyx went out of the room for a while to call and order food.

I'm not alone now. Kalyx is here with me. Ano man ang mangyayari ay kasama ko siya.

While I was resting I was thinking that.

We can be strong alone, but sometimes we become stronger when we have someone...

I also smiled as I think about that I'm here again in his condo. It's been a long time since I last been here. And after everything that had happened to us. I'm happy that I'm here again.

Nakatulog ako na magaan ang loob ko kahit na may mga problema pa na kailangang harapin.

I had a good nap and when I woke up Kalyx was already beside me in his bed. He smiled at me when he saw me opened my eyes. "How are you feeling now?" He gently asked me.

"Good..." marahan kong sagot sa kaniya.

Kalyx smiled and he touched my hair, tucking some loose strands of hair behind my ear. "We're going to be parents, Rina..." He said. "You should have told me that you were pregnant right away as soon as you found out."

Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya na nasa pisngi ko at buhok. "I'm sorry, Kalyx. I didn't know what to do exactly back then..."

"It's all right now. What's important is that you're here with me. And I will take care of you more from now on, Rina." He told me like a promise.

I smiled. And I lay myself closer to him. I inhaled his familiar warm and comforting natural scent while I was faced with his chest. Niyakap din ako ni Kalyx habang nakahiga kami roon kaya mas lalo pa akong naging komportable sa ayos namin.

And after a while, niyaya na ako ni Kalyx at bumangon na kami para kumain. Ininit niya lang ang pagkain na kanina niya pa in-order habang tulog pa ako.

"Rina?"

"Hmm?" I turned to him from the food in front of us on the dining table now.

Kalyx smiled at me. "Do you like the food?"

I nodded and I smiled at him as well. "Yes. Thank you."

"You're welcome." He smiled.

And then I saw him sighing a bit. Nag-angat muli ako ng tingin sa kaniya.
