YOU AND I COMPLETED

CHAPTER 46

DRIA'S POV

Sabi nila, shame on you if you fool me once, shame on me if you fool me twice. Dalawang beses. Sa pangalawang beses ibig sabihin ginusto mo na kaya nangyari ulit.

So ginusto ko ba? Ginusto ko ba talaga to?

Alam ko naman deep inside na oo. Na ginusto ko yung mga nangyari. Pero Dria, tanga ka na nga ba talaga? Ilang beses ka nang sinaktan ng lalaking yan tapos ngayon pinabayaan mo pang makuha niya ang buong pagkatao mo? Magtira ka naman ng konti sa sarili mo!

Nasaan na yung ilang taon na pinilit mo makalimot sa ibang bansa? Pati ba yun limot na rin?

Puno ako ng galit sa dibdib ko ngayon. Hindi para kay Kurt. Para sa akin. Parang ako yung baby moth na binalaan na wag lumapit sa apoy kasi masusunog siya. Bakit di ka nakinig Dria? Bakit?

Something happened between us again. And this time it's different. I feel myself falling harder for him. This can't be happening.

"Dria, are you awake? Let's talk."

I heard him saying. We're actually cuddling. Kung hindi ko lang alam kung ano tong meron kami siguro kikiligin na ako dahil siya ang katabi ko at yakap yakap niya ako.

"Kurt, ano ba tong ginagawa natin? This is not right."

"Bakit Dria, ano ba yung tama?" I was shocked by his answer.

I composed myself before answering.
"Hindi ko rin alam, ang alam ko lang ay hindi to isa sa mga tamang gawin."

"Yan ka na naman eh, don't overthink things."

"Don't overthink?"

This time I faced him. Ano ba sa tingin niya tong mga nangyari? Wala lang ba to for him to say na I should not overthink it?

"What are you saying? Na this is nothing to you? Well fuck it then. You just proved to me how wrong this thing is. You never changed. You are still heartless and you really made it a hobby to hurt me."

"Dria let me explain, it's not like that."

"It's not like that? You fucking son a bitch. I've been hurt so many times by the same person and I can't seem to take a hint na you will never be who I fell inlove with years ago. I loved you so much. And yes, that's in the past tense!"

"I don't believe you."

I was stunned.

He doesn't believe me? Well, for starters I don't believe everything I say either.

"I love you Dria. And nothing has changed through the years. My love for you did not fade away. I'm still yearning for you. All I wanted to do is beg for you to come back to me."

I, again, was too shocked to even say a thing.

What a romantic way to confess his love for me. We are both naked, post coital.

"Dria, let's try again. please?"

I don't what happened, it all happened way too fast. As if time fast forward 8x.

We are here, having dinner together, laughing like the old times. Parang walang nangyari.

We are trying again. I'm happy. Haven't been this happy in a very long time. I missed having him as my man.

Though we are together again, we are keeping this a secret first. I just want this to be private muna and keep him to myself. He agreed with me naman.

I don't think gets any better than this. This is the man that I love and I'm a very lucky girl.

We are almost together everyday, sneaking kisses every now and then. Hahaha Para bang teenagers pa rin kami. Like what happened earlier.

I accompanied one client sa office niya and he sneaked and kissed me behind our client's back! Good thing hindi kami nakita. Hahah So unprofessional pero kinikilig ako. I love life.

and I love this man right here. I love him so much.

"Sweetheart" Ah I love hearing that endearment "I need to go for a week sa Singapore. We have a potential client there and my parents want me to personally manage it. I'll miss you."

Away? Already? That makes me sad. Pero okay lang, as if namang hindi siya babalik.

"Really, you'll miss me?

"So much. And your sexy body."

HAhaha that made me laugh

"Sabi na nga ba katawan lang habol mo sakin."

"Wow naman at nasabi mo yan, noong panahong mataba ka pa pinatulan nga kita, which only proves na hindi lang katawan habol ko sayo."

That made me laugh even more. Hahaha.

"Ang sama talaga ng ugali mo no?"

"Mahal mo naman."

Well totoo naman.

"Oo, mahal na mahal ko nga."

"I love you sweetheart, thank you for the second chance."

The sweetest words I heard in a while. Life doesn't get any sweeter than this.
