The Palisade

Hello! 👋 I thought I missed a few prompts since I haven't updated for so long. For these 2 succeeding chapters, will be going back in time a little.

Thank you.

January 5, 11pm, M's condo:

M: *changes in her room as R stays in the living room while browsing through his phone*

R: *yells* Anak ng... Bastos yun ah!

M: *rushes out of her room, still pulling down her shirt* Love? Anong nangyayari? Sinong kaaway mo?

R: Ito! *shows M his phone* Itong tarantadong to! Siraulo yan!

M: *takes his phone but doesn't look at it since she already knows what he's talking about* Love please... Kumalma ka lang muna... Natatakot na ako ah. I haven't heard you curse this much since... Well... Forever.

R: *still yelling* Paano ako kakalma? Ipaliwanag mo kung paano? Nababastos ka na at wala akong magawa. At ikaw! May nangyayari na palang ganito di ka pa nagsasabi. Sa Twitter ko pa malalaman! Ano to Maine?!

M: *starts raising her voice* Bakit sa akin ka na galit ngayon? Paano ko sasabihin sa'yo kung alam kong maghi-hysterical ka ng ganyan? Hindi din naman ako aware kung di ko pa nakita tong video. Eh kung sinabi ko sa'yo kanina while you were driving over here or still at work, how would that have affected you? Alam ko na gusto mo akong protektahan pero sana alam mo din na inaalala din kita! *sobs*

R: *sighs* I'm sorry. I'm sorry. *walks to M, hugs her tight and kisses her temple* I'm really sorry, Love. Hindi ko sinasadyang sigawan ka. Galit na galit lang ako talaga kanina.  Hindi sa'yo ha? Alam mong hindi sa'yo di ba?

M: *nods her head, hugs R back, sobs on his shoulder*

R: Ssshhh... Tama na. I'm sorry. *caresses M's hair* I love you. *kisses her forehead* I love you. *cradles her face in his hands, kisses her nose* I love you. *stares deep into her eyes, wipes her tears away, sighs* I love you so much. Masakit sa akin na wala akong magawa para sa'yo, na hindi kita man lang kita maprotektahan, na hindi kita maalagaan. Mahal na mahal kita eh. Naiintindihan mo ako di ba?

M: *nods her head* Mahal din kita. Mahal na mahal.

R: *smiles, kisses M gently on the lips* Tama na to.

M: Ang alin?

R: Tama na tong protecting you from afar, aalagaan kita from afar ek-ek. I need to be there. I have to be close to you all the time. Papabalik ako sa barangay.

M: What? No. Nagkakasakit ka nga kasi dun di ba? Nauulanan. Naiinitan. Natutuyuan ng pawis.

R: You go through the same thing pero ayaw mo din naman magpapigil.

M: Hindi naman kasi ako sakitin kagaya mo.

R: Pero nagkakasakit ka pa rin. Basta. Sasamahan kita dun. No ifs. No buts. Nagkakasakit din naman ako kahit wala sa barangay and the worse part is mas nas-stress ako dahil wala ka sa tabi ko at sobrang nag-aalala ako sa'yo. Wag ka nang kumontra, okay?

M: Okay. *sighs, slips her arms over R's shoulders* Hindi ako kokontra pero dapat pag nandoon ka, hindi lang ikaw ang magpo-protekta sa akin, hayaan mo din na alagaan kita. Deal? *smiles*

R: *grins* Deal.

M: Good. *sticks her hand between them* How about we shake on that deal to seal it? *kilay language*

R: *shakes his head* No. Hindi yun effective.

M: *giggles* Ano ba dapat?

R: *smirks* Sealed with a kiss. Yun siguradong effective. *grins, kilay language, pulls M in for a passionate kiss* 💛💏💛🍃💛
