He kissed me. This time a lot more passionately.

" Hey, what's wrong?" I asked him while gently fixing his hair.

" I. . . I sinned to you." He said while looking at the ceiling.

" Now, now, everybody commits sin okay? That's why God sent his only begotten son to redeem the lost mankind." I replied, knowing inside I am really nervous.

" I don't know, I don't know if you could forgive me . . . I . . . I was drunk once, remember the time I told you I was invited as a guest DJ of this pub somewhere in Hampshire? " He asked with his lips trembling.

I nodded.

" I was really drunk at that time and uh. . . Iwokeupwithyourbestfriendbesideandwe'rebothnakedidontknowwhathashappenedireallyamandshesentmeamessageaweekagotellingmeshewasamonthpregnant." He babbled and tried to catch his breath.

Drunk. Bestfriend. Naked. Pregnant.

'Adultery'

I didn't heard his words completely but those 4 words I can't shrug off.

" Amos, forgive me. " He begged while kneeling.

" If God forgave those who have sinned unto him, who am I, just a human who can't forgive someone who has sinned to me. I forgive you. Go, make her happy, okay, love her more than you loved me . Don't break her heart. Okay? Go, take care of her." I cried.

It was the best thing to do. Who am I after all. I know it was a big sin to God but it's up to God to punish him.

" I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I lost a really wonderful girl on a sinful night. I don't deserve you. I'm sorry." He cried.

He kissed my forehead and on that night I too lost my man.

' Cause maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me. And after all, you're my wonder wall.'

I suddenly picked up my phone.

" Hello." - Amos

" . . . "

" Helloooo?" - Amos

A man chuckled.

" Hey, it's no good to do prank calls at this time."- Amos

" You never really change Amos." - Sandro

That husky voice. The man who begged for my forgiveness.

" Sandro? Hello, how are you?" - Amos

I tried to lighten up the mood by squealing like a seal, yeah a bit, just a bit.

" I. . . I just wanted to visit you. . . With my family." - Sandro

Family. Visit.

" Oh yeah, That would be nice, when would you like to visit so I could prepare for it?" - Amos

" Next week maybe? We and uhm, . . Min decided to stay here in the Philippines for better."- Sandro

Fudge.
Philippines.
Min.

This is too much. But I still tried my best to stay happy while still talking with him on the phone.

" That's good. Who would resist to live in Philppines after all.Okay I got to go, Sandro." - Amos
