Cyden's Pov
They say, love is sweeter the second time around. I can say that it's really true. I looked at Elaya. She's peacefully sleeping right now. I still can't believe that she's back. She's on my side now. God knows how happy I am.
Akala ko wala na akong pag-asa. She looks happy and contented with other man on her side. Natutuwa akong nakalimutan man ako ng isip niya, hindi naman ako nawala sa puso niya. I held her cheek. She's still Elaya, the woman that I used to love and the woman I want to share my life with. Wala na akong mahihiling pa.
Unti-unti siyang nagmulat ng mata at mariing tumingin sakin.
"Why are you still awake, Denden?" Umupo siya at hinawakan ko lang ang mga kamay niya.
"I'm just watching you." Napakunot-noo naman siya.
"Ikaw talaga, kailangan mo ring matulog 'no."
"I'm just too happy that I can't even sleep. Kuntento na akong pagmasdan ka. Baka kasi mawala ka na naman eh. Hindi ko kakayanin." Ngumiti siya at hinawakan din ang mga kamay ko.
"Denden, hindi na ako mawawala sayo. Sapat na ang panahong iniwan kita. Hindi na mauulit pa 'yun. Baka hindi ko rin kayanin 'pag nawala ka uli sakin." Nag-umpisa nang mangilid ang mga luha niya kaya naman niyakap ko siya.
"Hindi mo alam kung gaano mo ako pinapasaya ngayon, Elaya." Ramdam ko ang yakap niya pabalik.
"Ako rin, Denden. Pinapasaya mo rin ako."
I looked at her and cupped and her face. Hinding-hindi ako magsasawa sa mukha ng babaeng nasa harap ko ngayon.
"I want to grow old with you, Elaya. My queen." Isang matamis na ngiti ang ginawad niya sakin.
"I want to grow old with you too, Denden. My king." I smiled with that. She's the only one who can make my heart beats fast.
I kissed her forehead, then her nose, her cheek and I lean my lips on her.
"These are used to be mine, Elaya." I stared at her bright eyes.
"Then they are yours again."
"I'm mad because that Montereal used to kiss anywhere." Her eyes widen and her cheek turns red.
"Nope. He didn't kiss me anywhere." I smirked on that.
"Really? Then saan lang?"
"Ahm. Ano." Napaatras siya at napakamot sa batok.
"Hmm?"
"Ahm. Only in my cheeks and sometimes a peck on my lips." She said and bite her lips
"Uh-huh? A peck on your lips?" Mas lalo pa akong lumapit at lumayo naman siya sabay marahang tango.
"Should I give you a peck on lips too to erase him to your lips?"
"I... I don't know." I smiled playfully.
"How about, a kiss that would make you feel how much I longed for you." She smiled also.
"Ahm. Why not?" She chuckled. I leaned closer to her and cupped her face.
"I love you, Elaya." I said with full of sincerity.
"I love you too, Denden." That melt my heart so I slowly claimed her lips. I missed her. I missed her so damn much.
She put her hands on the back of my neck so I deepen the kiss. I passionately kissed her. I caressed her back as I pull her closer to me. I heard her moan as her bite her lower lip.
