Midnight Love

Chapter 38

Gabrielle's P.O.V

Umuwi ako kaagad after ko malaman ang mga pinag gagawa ni Webber behind my back. For me, that's dishonesty. You don't have to keep a secret from me? I'm your fiancée for fuck sake! Hindi naman ako yung tipo ng taong hindi supportive eh? If you want to help Symone, go! But keeping that a secret? That's a different thing! Maganda man ang intensyon mo o hindi, you still lied to tell me!

"What the hell was that?!" bungad kong tanong sakanya habang naka harap siya sa laptop niya. Tumingin siya saakin at ngumiti "Hello.." bati niya at tumayo sa kinauupuan. Mariin niya akong hinagkan at niyakap. Dahil sa galit ko, napa atras ako at tinignan siya ng masama.

"You hide something, Webber! Baket nagawa mong mag lihim sa harapan ko!?" malakas kong sigaw at nakita ko ang pag bagsak ng ngiti sa labi niya.. "Ohh. I see. Alam mo na siguro, no?" walang emosyon niyang saad kaya naman napa kunot lang ako ng noo.

"What's happening with you?! Hindi ka nag sisikreto saakin pero now gumagawa ka ng action behind my back?"

"It's because-

"Becasue what!?"

"Gabi, you still love her!!"

"What!?! I don't love her, Webber!! Saan ba nang gagaling yang mga pinag sasabi mo!?"

"I'm not blind nor stupid!! Rushing to her is a clear indication that you still love her!!"

"What the heck!? She was rushed to the ER, Webber! She's still my friend!! Hindi ako manhid para hindi maawa sa tao!"

"Just stop, Gabi....I saw your eyes when you're talking to the phone. I saw how much you worried, how fast you rushed to the hospital, you didn't even looked at me before exiting the door. You left as if I'm not here. And I'm done acting like this whole thing is okay to me..At first, I just want to witness how the two of you treat each other. But that's when I realized, you're happier when she's around. You may pull your rbf but your mood shifts when she's around. She brings out the best in you. And it sucks. It sucks kase alam kong hindi ko magagawa yun. I might have you but your heart still belongs to her..."

"I don't understand anything you're saying, Webber!!! I love you!!! Ikaw lang ang gusto ko!"

"Please...."

"Webber naman.."

"How about the time you accidentally called me bebe? Or when you're so drunk you called me Sy...Or when you gave me a vanilla ice cream because you thought it's my favorite but it's actually Symone's. Alam mo na strawberry ice cream ang favorite ko but I let it slipped because you're tired and baka napaghalo-halo mo lang yung mga bagay. But it happened thrice but I didn't say a word because I don't want to hurt you."

"Webber, I'm sorryy.. I didn't know.."

"God damn it Gabrielle!! Just admit it that you still love her and let's get this over!! I can't marry a woman who's not yet over to her ex!! Para ko nalang niloloko ang sarili ko kapag itutuloy pa natin ito, Gabi."

"Webber....Pag isipan mo muna yang sinasabi mo. I love you, okay? She's- She's my past, okay? But you're my present and future. So please, think this over..."

"No....I've made my mind, Gabi. I don't want to live my second life na ganito tayo. Yes, you love me but she's still there." itinuro niya yung chest ko kung saan naka tago ang puso ko. Kitang kita ko sa mga mata niya ang pagkalungkot. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Ayokong sabihin na tama siya kase alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi iyon totoo, pero may bumabagabag sa utak ko at sinasabing may kaunting porsyento na tama siya. Binalaan ako ni Mishi sa bagay na ito, nakinig ako pero ang puso ko? Tanging ito lang ang bumabagabag saakin. I guess my heart wants what it wants?
