Duke and I are still sitting on his sofa. I'm hugging him tightly while he continues to shower kisses on the top of my head.
Inayos niya ang pagkakadantay ng mga binti ko sa legs niya at kumuha muli ng isang slice ng pakwan.
Dapat talaga pakwan na lang ang pinag-seselosan ko eh.
"Hindi ka pa kumakain?" Tumingala ako sa kaniya at pinanood siyang kainin ang pakwan.
"Kumakain," ngumiti siya at hinarap sa akin ang pakwan kaya napanguso ako.
He's being Dukiel again.
I love it.
"Do you want me to cook?" Umiling siya at mas hinigpitan ang yakap sa baywang ko.
"Just stay here beside me. You and this watermelon are more than enough." Pinakagat niya ako sa pakwan.
I pinched his cheek before I took a bite.
"It's been so long since I became comfortable like this," napatingin ako sa mga mata niya.
Ibinaba niya ang pakwan sa plato at hinawakan ang kamay ko.
"I miss you so much, love," siya naman ang yumakap sa akin. He buried his face on my shoulder.
Hinalikan ko siya sa noo. There's nothing more comfortable than being together in each other's arms. How I wish we could stay like this forever.
"I'm sorry if I made things hard for you the past months. I want to tell you everything, God knows how much I want to tell you the truth. Patawarin mo ako kung hindi ko sinabi agad. Balak ko sana sabihin sayo pagkatapos ng show para wala ka nang ibang iniisip, but Patrice suddenly came here to confirm if we are back together again. I know I can't stop her, so there's no reason to hide the truth anymore," I gently caress his back.
"It's killing me whenever I see your eyes filled with pain and sadness. Alam ko na nahirapan ka dahil sakin, kaya patawarin mo sana ako. I know that's the most selfish decision I've ever made. Gusto ko na kausapin ka na lang, pero palagi tayong nauuwi sa away, palagi tayong nasasaktan. Ginusto ko lang na pagkatiwalaan mo ako dahil alam ko na magiging paulit-ulit lang ang lahat kung magpapadala ka sa takot mo. I want to help you fight your fear. I'm really sorry. " Umiling ako.
"I understand, Duke, at nagpapasalamat ako sayo dahil ginawa mo iyon," dahil sa mga nangyari natutunan ko na yakapin ang takot ko.
Because of him, my family, and the people who supported our relationship, I learned so many things. Totoo nga na hindi tayo lubos na matututo sa sarili lang natin.
"Alam ko na hindi mo intensyon na mauwi sa ganito ang mga bagay. From the start you want to explain what happened, paulit-ulit ka na nagpunta sa mansion kahit pinagtutulakan na kita, kahit pinagtatabuyan ka na ng lahat," ngayon na tuluyan nang nabuksan ang isip ko. Marami akong mga bagay na napagtanto.
"Before I left that time, Patrice went to the mansion and talked to me. Marami siyang sinabi, mga bagay na siyang kahinaan ko. Tinamaan ako sa mga salita niya dahil totoo lahat ng iyon. Those hurt my ego. Lalong lumala ang takot ko noon na harapin ka kaya mas pinili ko na lang na umalis, na tumakas. Nagpadala ako sa mga sinabi niya, sa mga nalaman ko, at sa mga pangamba ko kaysa piliin na kausapin ka," I looked at him in the eyes.
"I let our environment affect me, to affect my relationship with you. Hindi ko naisip na mas unahin na intindihin at unawain ka. I yielded to the factor that led to our total breakup," sarili ko ang naging problema.
"Do you know why I gave you a chance?" Pinagdikit ko ang mga pisngi namin.
"It's because I'm afraid to lose you, not because my trust is getting back. Ang alam ko lang mahal kita at ayoko na mawala ka sa buhay ko. When you confront me about my trust, that's when I only realized that our relationship will go nowhere if I only love you and I just don't want to lose you. In order to foster a stronger relationship, we should trust each other's love. Thank you for pointing out my mistake and making me realize that love doesn't thrive on love alone, but mostly on the trust we can share with each other." I saw how kuya Royse and kuya Cassian center trust in their marriage with Samara and Sabel.
