Within the Month

You're my home

Justice's POV

Magaling na si Yue, that's why we've planned to go back to Manila. Hindi na namin pinag-usapan pa kung ano yung nangyari dahil, hindi naman na yun mahalaga. What is important ay yung gumaling na sya at naka-cope na yung kambal sa nangyari. Hindi na rin namin nakita pa si kuya Jacob, kaya medyo nag cool down na rin si Angelo at nag focus na lang sa mga pamangkin nya.

"Just. Saan ba talaga tayo pupunta? Bakit hindi tayo sumunod sa kotse ni kuya Gelo?" She asked me in a worried tone.

"Mom, wants to meet you. We're going to meet her today. Ihahatid naman ni Gelo yung kambal later sa hotel na tutuluyan natin." I said without looking at her. I was driving and we're hurrying cause we're a little bit late already.

"With this look?" Horror is all over her face now, while she's pointing on her ripped jeans, converse shoes, three-fourth blue polo shirt and her unfixed hair.

"You're beautiful with your look mahal. And mama wouldn't mind." I said. I look at her when the traffic light turns red. She's blushing and she's cute.

"Wag mo akong bolahin Justice. Hindi ako kikiligin" Sabi nya pa and then pasimple syang tumingin sa may labas ng kotse.

"Hindi halata sa kulay blood stain mong pisngi mahal." I said naughtily. Nanlaki naman yung mata nya sa akin.

"Yuck! Gross! pwede namang kamatis o kung anong kulay pula bakit blood stain?" She said. Napatawa ako ng malakas sa sinabi nya.

"Wala ng pumasok na kung ano mang pula sa isip ko kaya dugo na lang." I continued to drive.

"Justice." She said in her very sweet tone.

"hmm?"

"I love you." I was shocked sa sinabi nya. I suddenly park the car sa gilid ng kalsada at tumingin sa kanya.

"Ha?" I said. Humina kasi yung server ng utak ko.

"I said.." She pause and face me. She hold my cheeks. Feeling ko ako ang nagku-kulay blood stain dito.

"I love you. I don't know kung ano ang mangyayari after this. No. After ng nangyari sa mall, hindi ko na alam kung ano ba ang mangyayari. But I just want you to know that I love you. I never expected that I'm capable of falling in love again after what happened to me and to Jacob. You fixed me. I made the biggest and strongest wall to protect my heart before but then you manage to destroy it and made your way inside my heart, inside my life and my child's life. Kaya sana kung ano man ang mangyari ngayon, gusto kong malaman mo, I will be here. I'm not going to give up on you, on us. I love you." Just before I can say a word, hinalikan nya na ako. It was a long passionate kiss. And right at that moment I realize that I own her now. And I will not waste those three long years that I've waited for her and helped her out to mend her broken heart. And also that four long years that I've silently admire and love her and she doesn't even care, that were the moments when she doesn't talk to me that much, that moment that she and my brother are still friends, that moment when she's still crazy in love with Jacob Dei Guillian.

She's the one to cut the kiss and look at me with love. I know it's love. Gusto kong sumigaw, ganito pala yung pakiramdam na mahal ka ng babaeng mahal mo. I just love her unconditionally, and syempre mahal ko din yung kambal. They're mine, and she's mine. It's overwhelming, my heart beats fast I guess. I love this day, I love her, I love them, I just love, love.

"I don't know what to say. Feeling ko sasabog yung puso ko sa mga narinig ko. I just don't wanna end this so soon. But we still need to see mom." I said while smiling widely at her. She's also smiling from ear to ear. 'We're both in love. Yey!'

"I love you too. That. I love you very much, that whatever happens I'll never give you up. I love you and thank you for giving me this wonderful gift. I love you and I love the twins. Thank you so much Yuerecca for opening your heart to me. Now I can finally say that I'm home. I'm home cause I'm in your life and in your heart." She kiss me again, but this time peck lang. She giggled. 'Oh! how I love to just see her giggle and smile and laugh'

"Let's go MAHAL. Your mom is waiting for us. And don't blush nagkukulay blood stain ka na rin" She said, tapos umayos na ng upo. I laugh like I never did before. Shit! nakakabakla to but I love it. Kinikilig ako. At habang tinatahak ko ang daan papunta sa meeting place namin ni mommy, hawak-hawak ko yung kamay ng mahal ko. I just can't stop smiling. I ain't dreaming. This is all true and I'm loving every single second of it.
