We Only Part To meet Again

Chapter 12: A safe move

Jerome was serving the dishes he cooked for Samantha. He cooked his wife’s favorite, Chicken Adobo and Mixed Vegetables. Samantha did compliment him for the delicious meal.

“Thank you Jerome, but why are you doing this?” Samantha asked Jerome as she took a sip of lemonade.

“What do you mean, Samantha?” Jerome asked her too.

“Why are you doing these things? You know, being sweet and romantic..You’re not the type of husband who will do these” Samantha said but trying to pretend that she liked what her husband is doing.

Jerome’s POV

“Why are you doing these things? You know, being sweet and romantic..You’re not the type of husband who will do these” Samantha said.

Sobrang dami ko ng pagkukulang sa asawa ko for the past years of our marriage. She’s right, hindi nga ako sweet and romantic husband, but this time, I realized how much I love my wife and I should start showing my feelings for her.

Damn, bakit hindi ko toh naisip noon. Bakit ngayon pa.. Kung umamin na lang kaya ako sa kanya..

Pero hindi ko alam kung matatanggap nya pa ako pag nalaman nya ang totoo.

I can’t confess right now.. I just need to do something para naman maging normal na ulit ang pagsasama naming ni Samantha.

“Please listen to me Samantha..” I said then I started to hold her hands tight.

Tinignan nya lang ako..

“I love you so much Samantha, Yes, you are right, hindi nga ako dating ganito, na sweet at romantic, but I just want you to know that you are special to me.. I’m trying my best to be the best husband for you.” I said seriously.

“But we all knew what’s going on between us.. We were not the old couple we used to be..” Samantha said and it breaks my heart.

“Sam..” I whispered..

“The way we used to be when we still have Jacob..” then Samantha’s tears fell from her eyes.

“I know, and I’m really sorry for that, hindi ko dapat hinayaan na magka ganito tayo.. But please believe me Samantha.. I love you so much and it really hurts me everytime I remember that I am incapable of giving you what you want.. for giving you a child..” I couldn’t help it but cry. It was so hard for me to admit it but I just have to.

Samantha was still staring at me as I still holding her hands.

“I’m not blaming you Jerome, it’s just that…….” Samantha said. I knew that she’s lacking of alibis to say.

“Kahit hindi mo sakin aminin, I know ‘yun ang gusto..noon pa..Naaalala mo pa ba ‘yung last wish ni Jacob noong 7th birthday nya?” I said, I know that’s the only way para magkaayos kami ni Samantha..

Samantha’s POV

“Kahit hindi mo sakin aminin, I know ‘yun ang gusto..noon pa..Naaalala mo pa ba ‘yung last wish ni Jacob noong 7th birthday nya?” Jerome said.

Why is this happening.. Gulong gulo na ko sa mga nangyayari samin ni Jerome. Hindi ko na alam anon g aba ang dapat kong maramdaman.

“Jerome, please stop…” I plead. Dahil alam kong lalambot lang ang puso ko sa kanya. Alam kong pagdating sa anak ko. Kayang kaya kong kalimutan lahat ng galit ko pagdating sa anak ko.

“Naalala mo when Jacob said that he wants us to be always happy with each other kahit na mawala sha? That he wants us to love each other more.. and” Jerome was not yet done when I finish the last statements we heard from our son Jacob.
