"Bakit di mo sinabi sakin ang lahat?" He asked me directly.
We met at the coffee shop.
He...grew differently. He changed a lot.
He looked more manly and intensely supreme.
"Because I'm afraid of losing you..." I said in a low voice.
I don't want to look at him. To look at his face.
I don't want to cry in front of him cos entirely, it was my fault why he's treating me this way.
"You lose me once." He paused and stare at me for a while.
Zach.
"And don't you think I don't have a right to share your problems with?"
His face nearly comes enrage.
"Zach. I'm sorry... Alam ko namang kasalanan ko and I don't have a choice that time! It was 10 years ago Zach! And I regretted everything for all my life! I know I don't have the right to be angry in my own mess but pero I just... I just can't identify if you're mad because I made you a fool or you're mad bacause you prefer to understand your own."
Tears started to build up in my eyes.
I look at him. I can't read his expression but somehow, pain in his eyes is obvious.
"Zach, I'm hurt that I want to die. I'm dying in shame to show my face to you after all what I've done..."
I cried in front of him.
He's about to touch me but hesitated.
"I understand if you can't forgive me. And I know you can't take me for what the fck I made you to hate me like this.
May anak na ako Zach..."
He wasn't changing expressions.
He wasn't even...surprised.
"And I just wanted you to know that I loved you. I love you and I'll still love you kahit anong tingin mo sa isang katulad ko..."
I swallow the lump in my throat before I brush my tears in the back of my hand.
I stood up and leave my step.
"I'm sorry Zach."
I whispered and passed right through him.
He was silent and I hope he gets what I said cos I won't be seeing him again in my life.
My mission in life is done here.
I don't expect for forgiveness but at least I sincerely tried to make him feel the way I felt.
And that's the best thing I could do.
"Marry me Cass."
My feet stopped as well as my heartbeat.
"Marry me." I heard he pulled back his chair and stood behind me.
"Marry me Cassandra." He hold my hand and I faced him with tears.
"I can't... You don't deserve someone like me. I hurt you. I made you wait and love me and just left you behind.
I... I'm not the one for you, Zach. May anak na ako..." I sob in pushing those words to him.
I can't hurt him again. Never.
"You don't have to say that Cass. And it won't hurt me either."
I was surprised.
"I know everything..." He cupped my face, brushed my tears.
"Simula nung...nakipagbreak ka sakin, I tried to forget you.
I had lots of girlfriends and...I even got kicked out from the house. And yeah, you came into my mind..."
He put locks of hair behind my ear. Staring at me like that...
"I said I'll find you. And I didn't."
He gave me that sad face, moments flashes before his eyes.
Zach...If I could just...
"It came to pass your Mom told me about...everything. She told me why you've been to Europe and she even thanked me for loving you.
And now, I can't let you get away again from me. I promised I won't love anyone but you, Cass."
He paused,
"I don't care kung may anak ka na. Kahit sampu pa ang ibinigay na anak ng gagong Brazilian na yun, I will still love you."
I smiled in his sincerity. Secretly, chuckled.
And it helped me to stop the tears from falling.
"Zach. Did you love me even though I left you...because you promised? "
I asked without hesitation. I'm not breaking the contact with him.
"No. It's not because I promised, or I need to, or I want to.
Nothing. I just love the way you are.
Nothing more, nothing less Cass."
He cupped my face.
His stares doesn't change direction nor the way he made my spine shiver.
He's still pulling me near to him, drowning me with much love.
He still affects me badly.
"Eh bakit..."
I stopped at talking when he suddenly pull me by the waist and kissed me.
"Stop it and kiss me." He said between his kiss.
LOKO.
I wrap my arms around his neck and kissed him back equally.
People applauded, stood up.
And as the kiss ended with us, panting, I smiled to him.
He gestured 'one sec' and take something out from his pocket.
He kneel and showed me the diamond ring in a red velvet box.
Tears just came out.
"I won't demand you again to marry me... Will you marry me Cassandra Javier?"
I'm so overwhelmed and I just kneel, hug and nod in return.
And he hugged me back.
"I'll marry you not because I promised, not because I need to, or I want to...
It's because I love you Zach.
I love you."
