We Only Part To meet Again

Chapter 14: I never thought I'd love you so much.

It was Tuesday in the afternoon and Samantha was alone at their house because her husband Jerome went to his work.

Samantha is just watching an old film entitled “If Only”.. She was moved with that movie.

Samantha’s POV

I just love this movie.. but at the same time, I feel bad about what happened to the characters..

“Why is that LOVE is so COMPLICATED???” I asked myself.

As I watch the movie, I really don’t know bakit hindi si Jerome ang naiisip ko.. At kung bakit si Albert lang ang palaging nasa isipan ko..

Siguro kasi sa movie, sobrang mahal nung guy ang girlfriend nya, and nakita nya kung paano ito namatay.. kaya nung nagkaroon sha ng second chance, hindi na nya ito hinayaang mangyari.. mas pinili nyang mas pahalagahan at mas mahalin ang girlfriend nya at i-sacrifice ang sarili nya para sa mahal nya..

Merong similarities ang kwento ng movie sa real life story ni Albert and Cesca… And I know gaano ito ka-painful for Albert..

Then I realize bakit sha ganoon mag alala para sa akin, kung bakit sha ganoon ka concern..

At bakit nya sinasabi na mahal nya ako..

Maybe he wants another chance.. dahil sobra shang na guilty sa nangyari sa kanila ni Cesca..

After I watched the film, I went to our room to change my clothes, I have to buy goods for our dinner, gusto ko lang mag prepare ng something for Jerome.

Yes, Jerome and I are trying to save our marriage over and over again.. ewan ko ba sa sarili ko bakit ba ako nag sstay.. Kahit na hindi na naman ako masaya..

Oh well, it’s just because of Jacob, yun ang alam ko.. para sa hiling ng anak ko.. But I wonder gaano katagal akong magiging ganito.. How long will it take for me to let go and follow my heart?

I was about to go out of our main door when my phone rings..

Unknown number..

Who is this?

I usually don’t take calls from unfamiliar numbers, but I have an instinct that this could be an emergency.. so I better take it..

“Hello?” I answered my phone

“Samantha… why???” someone said over the phone.. It’s not my husband’s voice..

And I knew right away that it was him..

It was Albert who’s on the other line..

“Albert? How did you get my number?” I asked him.

“Hindi na mahalaga yun, I just want to talk to you.. I just wanna know why? Bakit bigla ka na lang umalis?” Albert said and I could really feel with his voice that he is in pain.

Bakit ko nga bas ha bigla na lang iniwan?

Pero sabi ko naman sa kanya nung last time na nagkita kami, Let’s just take is slow..

At alam naman naming na mali kung ano man ang gusto nyang mangyari..

“Look Albert, alam natin na mali kung ano man ang gusto mong mangyari, and I’m sorry kung na feeling mo na pinaasa kita or what, masyado lang siguro akong nadala at naapektuhan sa mga nangyari..kaya hindi na ko nakapag isip..” I said as I continue to walk at the garden palabas ng bahay namin..

“I don’t believe you Samantha.. We need to talk…We need to talk personally..” Albert said at talagang seryoso sha. Ang alam nya eh nasa Cebu na ako.
