Love Me Now

Chapter 55

Where are you going? Tanong sa akin ni Kiefer.

You have to go home. Sabi ko.

No, I don't. Sabi niya.

Hindi mo ba narinig si Tita? Maze is in the hospital and how did Tita knows you're with me? Tanong ko ng maalala ko.

I told them about us. Sabi niya kaya napaupo ulit ako

Like us us? Tanong ko talking about our relationship.

Yes. Sagot niya.

Why? Tanong ko ulit.

They knew about the annulment so I told them about us but I didn't tell them I'm with you now. Sabi niya.

Kiefer naman. Hindi ka ba nagiisip? Kung alam ni Tita that we're having an affair, I'm sure alam na rin ng parents ko. Sabi ko.

I don't think sasabihin ni Mom saka you and Jean are on the process of divorce. Magugulat pa ba sila? Tanong niya.

Hindi pa nila alam. Sabi ko at humawak sa ulo ko. Sumasakit yun ulo ko kay Kiefer.

Babe, it's okay. Sabi niya.

It's not. Stop saying it's okay when we both know it's not. Sabi ko saka nagwalkout at pumasok ng kwarto. Sumunod naman siya sa akin.

Fine I'll go home but you're coming with me. Sabi niya.

What? No. Are you crazy? Tanong ko.

Kung di ka sasama sa akin then hindi ako uuwi. Sabi niya.

Your wife is in the hospital Kiefer and she's pregnant. Iritang sabi ko.

I know but I'm not leaving without you. Sabi niya.

I'm not ready to see your family and my family. Sabi ko.

You don't need to see them. Yun naman yung plano diba. This trip is for us. Uuwi ka ng ako lang ang nakakaalam. Please babe, if you really want me to go home, come home with me. Sabi niya.

Babe naman why are you making things hard for me? Tanong ko at lumapit siya sa akin para ipatong yung noo niya sa balikat ko.

I'm sorry babe. I promise you don't need to see them. Sabi niya.

Where will I stay? Tanong ko.

I bought us a condo. Sabi niya kaya nagulat ako.

What? Tanong ko.

I know you're coming home and I want us to have our own space. Sabi niya

So ibabahay mo ako? Talagang pinandigan mong kabit ako. Sabi ko.

It's not like that. Ayoko lang na sa hotel ka magstay. I want you to have your own space where you can paint and cook. I want to go home to you and if you'll stay sa hotel, it will never feel home. Sabi niya.

Fine but we have to go home now. Mauna ka na susunod ako. Sabi ko.

What? No we'll go home together. Sabi niya.

Eh di nakita nila ako. Sabi ko.

No. Hindi naman ako magpapasundo eh. We'll go straight to the condo and i'll leave you there for a while to check on Maze and come back. Sabi niya.

Okay. Sige na naplano mo naman na lahat eh. Sabi ko.

Wag na mainis babe. I love you. Sabi niya pero di ako sumagot.
