Closure (Completed)

Chapter Ten

"Hi." Warren was amazed she's here beside him and looking at him lovingly. He missed that looked. He missed her so much.

"Hi." Vielle answered and started crying. She can't contain her joy. She was so thankful that finally, he's awake.

"Hey, I'm fine. I'm not dead so don't cry yet." Warren tried to joke but Vielle cried even more. Kahit na bawal, she hugged him for awhile just to assure herself he's still alive. "How did you know I was here?" He asked her, prying for informations."

"Si Marky. He went to your pad to visit you. Pero..." Vielle swallowed her sadness. "He saw you lying on the ground, helplessly drunk." She looked at him and he was doing the same. "Why were you drunk Warren? Akala ko ba hindi ka naglalasing?"

Warren smiled and tried to touch her wet cheek, she obliged. "I was thinking that... If I can't get my life back, which is you, might as well end it... right?" Then he showed his saddest smile.

Vielle immediately felt guilty. "Warren, I'm sorry."

"No, Vielle. I should be the one who's sorry." Warren said and stared at the her neck. He noticed the necklace. "I was... Selfish. I couldn't be man up enough to tell you the truth... That I was sick. I was afraid, Vielle. Natakot ako na baka pag sinabi ko sayo, kaawaan mo lang ako. Your love for me would replace by pity. I dont want that. All I want is your love, you. I want you in my life. But I was too scared of a coward to tell you that. I dont want you to spend the rest of your life to nursing an ill boyfriend. I want you to spend the rest of your to have fun and falling for a gentleman, like me. I dont want to take your happy life, Vielle. Even if it meant taking mine."

Vielle was pouring out tears when he said those words.

"What disease is it?" She managed to ask. Alam na niya, she just wanted to hear it from him.

"Coronary heart disease. I have this since I was baby. I had a few operations, it was successful. But... During our supposed to be anniversary, I had a heart attack. I was in Canada. Kaya hindi ako nakauwi agad kasi sinugod ako sa hospital. I woke up four days later and the doctors wouldn't let me out. I'm sorry."

"Warren, I love you so so much. Kahit na ikamatay ko pa, I will still love you 'til my last breath. I'm so sorry if ever I doubted you. I was afraid too... I was afraid of hurting for more. Hindi ko kasi maisip na kakayanin kong mas masaktan pa ako. But now I realized that it will kill me if I stopped loving you. You're my life too, Warren. And I am willing to give you my life just to have yours. I love you so much."

Both were crying silently as they hear each others plea. They've been muttering I love you's endleslly like there's no tomorrow and not either of them was tired of hearing it. They're glad to know they still love each other. And Vielle has now a clear mind to ask a question to Warren.

"Warren, I love you so much and I can't imagine myself giving the rest of my life to someone else.

Will you marry me?"
