They say you can't say it's love when you don't feel the pain. But they also say love means loving each other not hurting. And now I'm confuse, which is real the first or the second?

If I ask my Okaasan she will always say the first one but if i'll ask my friend, Ania she answer the opposite.

But I think now already know the answer just now. For me it's both. Love is attach to pain. When you Love someone it causes the pain to someone else who also love that someone. When you love someone then you saw him/her with someone else it causes pain to yourself. When you let that someone see you suffering whether it's because of him/her or by somebody, it will surely also cause a pain to him/her.

But if you love someone you will definitely do nothing to hurt him/her. Loving someone doesn't mean to promise to him/her not to feel pain but to try no matter what to never let you feel the pain. Doing all the possible  things not minding it's possible effect. When you love someone you instantly sacrifice. Its either your happiness or him/her happiness.

If you're ain't ready for love's consequences then don't enter it's world, a wise advice from a wise person. Kidding aside— I already been through the sacriface part.

I spent almost 3 and a half month in the hospital just to stay alive. At first I thought I couldn't make it since the whole 1 month consume in finding a perfect heart donor for me. I almost lose hope but each time I look at my okaasan, her face say it all.'Don't give up.','We are here for you.','Its not yet your time.','They are waiting for you.',' We love you, so much.' She said.

I even dreamt having a bonding time with my friends. Yun yung nagpapalakas saakin.

Matagal ko ng mahal si Vince ang indenial ko lang talaga. I'm not doing this for my self I'm doing this for him, for them. I will sacriface 3 months, 4 months or even years healing just to be with them for centuries if I can. I love them that's why.

"Lia are you ready?" Okaasan asked.

"Ofcourse, who wouldn't be. Makikita ko na uli sila." I said as I rest my head on the passenger seat.

"Oo nga naman." Okaasan pat my hair just like what she always do when I was young.

"Okaasan! Geez you're ruining my hair." sabi ko. Dali dali ko naman yung inaayos.

"Sorry. Hahaha." She said while laughing.

Napailing nalang ako. Tama, makikita ko na uli sila. I'm so proud of them! Graduate na sila.

Papunta na kami sa bahay ng mapapangasawa ko. Doon daw gaganapin ang midnight party nila with their parents pa.

Naisipan kong tawagan si Faye tutal alam kong lagi niyanv hawak ang phone niya. Naglakad na ako papasok sa bahay nila.

At first medyo natagal siyang sagutin. Bininaba ko muna ang phone ko saka naglakad patungo sa stairs.

"Lia!"

"Ay!"Nagulat ako ng may narinig akong sumigaw galing sa phone ko. Mukhang sinagot niya na.

Dahan dahan kong pinaharap ang phone ko sa face ko. Kitang kita ko silang lahat pati na sila tito at tita. Ang dami nila.

"Uyy ang dami niyo dyan ah! Hello titas and titos!" I smiled. Bumati rin naman sila .

"HUHUHU Lia bat ngayon ka lang nagparamdam!" Iyak ni faye na siyang may hawak sa phone.

"Tss. Wala akong load." sabi ko saka tumawa."joke lang. Syempre nagpamiss!"

Ilang minuto pa ang tinagal ng paguusap namin. Pinatay ko na yung tawag ng nasa roof top na ako.

"Tadah! Nandito na ako!"

Para naman silang nakakita ng multo sa gulat at panalalaki ng mata. Unang naka bawi si May at mabilis pa sa kabayong yumakap saakin nagsimulang humagulgol. Mukhang natauhan naman ang iba kaya nagsiyakap na saakin. Naiwang nakatayo habang nakangiti si Kurt, Jeff, camille with her boyfie, Luke at Vince.

"Uyy awat na. Basang basa na ako." Namiss ko sila at alam kong alam nila yun.

"Grabe ka Lia! Alam mo bang---" pinutol ko si May sa pagsasalita.

"Ikinasal ka na?" Umiling si May.

"Nanganak ka na?" Gulat na umiling si May.

"Inilibing ka na?" Takang umiling si May.

"Oh yun naman pala e! So okay lang yun. At kung tungkol yun sa graduation niyo aba! Hahabol ako." inirapan ko sila.

"Wahhh balik na ang dating Lia!" Sigaw ni May yakap sa braso ni Kurt.

Biglang tumahimik. Nagkatinginan sila May saka gumalaw pa side. Saka sila naglaho at talagang kinuha pa nila ang mga magulang nila.

Naiwan ako, kasama si Vince.

Titig na titig ako sa mata niya.Walang pagaalinlangang naglakad ako papunta sa kinatatayuan niya. Nakapamusal pa ito.

Then...

Tumakbo na ako at mahigpit siyang niyakap. Mukhang nagulat pa ito sa ginawa ko. Binaon ko ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya. Nilanghap ang astig niyang pabango.

Pero hindi niya yun pinatagal. Bigla niya ako pinalayo sakanya.

Gulat ko siyang tiningnan. Bakit?

Pero naiyak nalang ako sa sunod niyang ginawa.

Niyakap niya ako ng pagkahigpit higpit at saka binaon ang mukha niya sa balikat ko. Naramdaman kong nabasa ito. Umiiyak siya.

"L-liabelle bat ngayon k-ka lang? I missed you so much! I missed you so much! I missed you so much!" Paulit ulit niyang sinabi.

"I missed you too so much that it hurts me." Bulong ko na alam kong siya lang ang makakarinig.

"All those days passed, I keep on praying that please bring back our Liabelle. Please don't make her suffer the way I did when she left. Please tell her I love her." He said sobbing.Umiiyak parin ako."But seeing you right now, iba na ang hihilingin ko. I'll pray to please don't take away our Liabelle. Please don't."

"I w-wont go anywhere. Your my soon-to-be husband so why will I leave you?" Ngumiti ako. Saying he's my husband makes me happy.

"Of course my soon-to-be wife. You will marry this handsome man." Biro nito. Medyo tumigil na ito sa pagiyak, ako rin naman.

"Tss. Well, that's true."pagsangayon ko dito.

"Liabelle you know what? I'm not gonna let you go. I will always be by your side and you can't do anything about it. I love you so much that it turns me into a selfish man." Wika nito saka ako hinarap.

"I love you too. Don't worry I'm yours only."

Slowly, deeply and pasionately we shared the night with a kiss.

Our story may end now but for us it's only the beginning of a new Life.

I'm his only, his Ms. Sungit. He is mine only, my Mr. Casanova.
