Can't Help Falling In Love With You (ON HOLD)

CHFILWY: Seven

"Ara please. We're done. Stop doing this. Stop hurting me. Stop hurting yourself." Aga uttered in his calmest tone. He doesn't want to raise his voice to Ara. He knows she hates it when someone shouts at her.

He can hear her sobs over the line. "I thought you still love me? Love...please listen to me. Let's fix this. I don't want to lose you."

He tapped his forehead and sighed. "Did you listen to me when I begged you to stay? Did you? You should've thought about that before dumping me...before leaving me."

"Galit ka ba? Hindi mo na ba ako love?" He can sense in her voice that she's drunk.

He clenched his jaw. He's trying to control his temper. "Ara please. Please. Let's talk about this if you're not drunk."

"Do you still love me?!"

"Ara...isang taon kitang hinabol pero sabi mo diba hindi mo na ako mahal? Ayaw mo na magpahabol? Then all of a sudden mag-eemail ka and you'll tell me that you want me back." He sighed. "Tao rin ako, Ara. Napapagod din ako at nawawalan ng gana."

Ara's sobs got louder and louder, that anytime she'll breakdown. "Aga answer me! Do you still love me?!"

He closed his eyes and rubbed the back of his neck. "Ara..."

"Please answer me honestly, Love."

"I still do. I still love you. You know how much I love you, Ara. I love you so much. I love you more than anything else. You're the best thing I've ever had, Love." He breathed. He turned around to look at who bumped into the veranda's sliding door. It was Brando. He rested his elbows on the railings and focused his attention back to the call. "But this time...isn't for us anymore. Before we can hurt each other more...let's stop this. Ara ayokong mas masaktan pa natin ang isa't isa. Let's give each other space and time to heal. For the meantime ganito muna. Baka masyado na tayong nasasakal sa relasyon na 'to. Let's take a break and wait for the right time. The right time for us to be together again."

He ended the call and looked up to suppress his tears. "Why do my day has to start this way?" He whispered as he walked downstairs. He took a deep breath to regain his composure. He stepped inside the kitchen and was surprised to see Lea.

With a big smile plastered on his face, he greeted her. "Good Morning, Pot!" He reached for her then was about to gave her a peck.

She nudged her head aside to avoid him. "Morning." She responded in a cold tone.

He just kissed her hair. He sat down in front of her and watched her as she kept munching on her cereals. He could see how she rolled her eyes and pursed her lips.

"Are you gonna stare at me the whole time?" She asked in monotone and looked at him disgustedly. "Get your ass off of my sight."

He chuckled. "Someone woke up on the other side of the bed ha." He pinched her cheek. "Ang moody talaga ng baby ko."

"Stay. Out. Of. My. Sight." She uttered every single word with such emphasis. She gritted her teeth. "I don't wanna see your face. It's annoying me."

He gulped and raised his arms up. "Okay. Copy, Madam." He stood up and walked out of the kitchen.

She breathed in relief. She was about to drink her glass of milk when Aga peeped his head back in, wearing that naughty grin.

"Baby ko? Kahit bad mood ka maganda ka pa rin. I heart you po, Leapot ko." He told her and winked.

She frowned. "If only I have a gun right now, I could've shoot you straight into your head." She said and went back eating.
