Raindrops

They're at their window attic, both have coffee mugs in their hands as they look at their window. Both of them are pluviophile that's why rain both calm them down.

Her, who loves to see the raindrops on their window.

Him, who loves to hear the rhythmic pattern as it falls down on the roof.

He turned his gaze to her at the same time she looked up from her mug. She blushed and snickered as he turned her gaze back to the window.

He couldn't help but smile on how she still blush after all these years of being together. There are some things that she is shy about.

Those rosy cheeks that becomes beet red every time he caught her stealing glances at him. Those times that she can't still keep her gaze with him and will complain that he stares too much.

oooOOOoooOOOoooOOOooo

5 years back

She felt the bed dipped and she knows that it is him just by the scent that is uniquely his. They both have a busy schedule, shooting here, pictorials there and engagement everywhere. But they will always make sure they have time for each other.

She knows that he came from one movie shooting but he still came to see her. Cause today is different.

He is a hot item now for some tabloids and blind item material. It is said that he was seen going out of a five star hotel with a girl. It's okay if it's just a normal girl, it wouldn't have bother her. But this is "the girl" before her. The girl that has his name always attached to her.

And she can't help but feel inferior. She doesn't consider herself pretty, she always see herself as average. She lives in vanity but she doesn't embrace it. But the girl, a lot of people consider her pretty and talented. She's sexy as well. That's why insecurity is eating her up.

She felt his hand spooned on her and pulled her closer to him. She resisted, seeing the two of them on one of the article pictures she felt a knife stabbed her heart.

Their relationship is not always ups, but these past couple of weeks it was always down. And she's afraid that she's losing her grip to him.

And cause of the anxiety she called him that afternoon and you had your fight. She knows he's there to make amends but somehow she just wants to give up.

"Hey~" he whispered in her ear. "Galit ka pa ba?"

She didn't say anything.

"Meng, come on. At least look at me," he tried to force her to face him.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"Pagod na ako," she manage to say. And she means with everything. With this life and with him.

"Meng, kausapin mo naman ako,"

"Nag usap na tayo Alden, and you made your point. I can clearly hear you because you shouted at me, remember?"

He let out a heavy sigh, "Half, sorry kung nasigawan kita sa telepono. It's just that – "

She turned to face him, it all took all the will in her to not cry right there and then.

"It's just what Alden?! Na paranoid lang ako?! Na I'm just over reacting kahit na wala naman akong dapat pagselosan?! Na I'm being irrational?! Alam ko na yan Den! You clearly told me over the phone remember?!" she paused. "Baket ka ba nandito?! You wanted a time off right?! You said that can't catch a break?! Go to your house! GO take a break!" she swayed his hand around her and tried to stand up but he pulled her back to bed.
