The Exchange Deal (TBS: Book 1)

Chapter 46 - Watching Him

Sophia

"Sophie, I... I don't know how to start it. Alam kong nagsimula tayo sa kakaibang paraan ng pagkakilala sa isa't-isa. Our story started in unbelievable piece at hindi ko alam kung ano ang magiging ending nito pero naniniwala ako na wala tayong katapusan dahil habambuhay tayong magsasama. Whatever happen between us starting today until the last minute of our lives, whether it's bad or good, hindi kita susukuan. Kahit ilang beses mo pa akong itulak papalayo sayo hindi ako titinag because you belong to me. And I am yours forever. I love you. I love you since the day you gave your sweet smile to me. Ikaw ang nagbigay liwanag sa madilim kong mundo. Kung darating ang araw na magsasawa ka na sa mga halik at yakap ko hindi pa rin ako susuko. I will do my best to bring the fire back between the two of us. Sophie, you are my flame, my passion and my strength. You turn my ordinary chapters in life into the beautiful one. Minahal kita hindi dahil maganda ka at sa bitbit mong pangalan, mahal kita dahil ipinakita mo sa akin ang totoong kahulugan ng kaligayahan at pag-ibig. I'm willing to give up everything if you want me to. I can even live an ordinary life as long as we have each other's arms. You are my song, my beautiful melody. You are my world, my home, my shelter. With you, I feel contented. I could not ask for more coz I already have you. Yung matatamis mong ngiti ang nagbigay sa akin ng lakas na harapin yung lahat na problemang dumating sa buhay ko noon. Mahal kita, Sophia Campoverde at kung papipiliin ako uli kung sino yung makasama ko hanggang sa pagtanda ko, it will always be YOU. Because you are my life. We are destined for each other. My hands are created to hold you forever. My eyes are for you to read my sincerity. You can have my body as your human comforter. Soph, if I lie... I lied when I said I love you because love isn't the perfect word to define what I really feel for you. Kung may hihigit pa sa salitang pag-ibig yun na yun. Sobra kitang mahal. I am Gavin Berrones and I will always love you even in the after life, my beautiful Sophia Campoverde. For better or for worse, I will take you as my wife forever and always."

Did he really mean it? Yes, I must admit, his face filled with sincerity and even his beautiful eyes when he spoke. Pero nalilito na ako ngayon. Hindi ko na alam kung ano yung totoo sa mga sinasabi sa akin ni Gavin. Bakas pa rin kasi sa isipan ko yung panlolokong ginawa niya sa akin.

His vow was heartbreaking. It made my heart pounding so fast. Gusto kong maiyak habang sinasabi niya sa akin ang mga linyang yun dahil pakiramdam ko totoo lahat ang mga binitawan niyang salita. I felt my heart broke over and over again. I hated him. Bakit kailangan pa niyang magsinungaling sa harapan ng pamilya ko? I don't need his promises. Wala na akong pakialam kung anuman ang sasabihin niya para sa akin. He lied to me. He broke my heart. It really hurts.
