* Annyong,  I've been very busy lately and I apologize for this late update.. I'm just trying to take off some weighty emotions right now. Hope you like my update coz me: nomu nomu jeowa.. Sarang everyone.. Mahalo*

"What is it ate?", tanong sa akin ni Belize.

"He's no longer wearing his ring", I replied in a grim tone.

And in my mind time began to flow back to that day when we exchanged rings, His words:

"Baby ko, I love you.. And kahit magka-amnesia ako, magka-dementia, or ano pang mentia meron sa mundo, ikaw pa rin ang laman nang puso ko.. Ikaw lang ang nakikita nang mga mata ko.."

"I want you to know, I'm Officially yours."

"Promise me, hindi mo ito tatanggalin.. Lagi mo itong isusuot. It will be a reminder of my love for you, endless and forever"

But a promise is just a promise. Nagka-amnesia na siya at kahit konti hindi niya ako makapa sa puso niya. Kapag tinititigan niya ko para lang akong estranghero na napadaan sa kanyang mundo.

"Hindi ko naman tinanggal ang singsing ko as promised because it's a reminder of our Love, my Love for you.", gustong kong isigaw kay Red. Will it ever make a difference at all? Will he remember me?..

"Nang i-abot sa kanya ni Mommy yung ring tinanong niya kung saan galing. I told him, it's his ring. Napansin ko kasi noon that you were wearing the same ring, so I knew it's your couple ring. Kuya loves you Ate, coz the moment he held that ring on his palm, he said "Baby ko and smiled". Though it's a relapse and maybe his memories of you are still blurry, deep in his heart he knows, he loves you. Right now, maybe he's not wearing it in his fingers, but he kept it somewhere near his heart" pang-aalo sa akin ni Belize..

Her answers cryptic, a little puzzling...

"Check his neck ate", she replied, smiling this time.

I did and he's wearing a necklace, a thin silver necklace. I didn't notice it then. Then slowly I tried to pull it out, and there's his ring. I sighed in relief..

"It's like an invisible link binding the two of you because even without Kuya's memories, his heart belongs to you. Maybe he's not wearing his ring, but your bond with each other is so strong. You may not see it but your actions speaks for it." Belize with her cryptic sentences again.

I can't believe I'm talking to a 15 year old kid..

So I qouted softly:

It is the secret sympathy,

The silver link, the silken tie,

Which heart to heart and mind to mind

In body and in soul can bind.

- Sir Walter Scott..

"yeah, something like that", Belize replied with a grin..

"I don''t want to get my hopes up Belize. But if one day that time comes that he no longer needs me, that he no longer wants me in his life, take care of him. And help him forget about me", I replied, then the tears began to flow, nonstop.

I know Belize can see my face says it all. With muffled sobs, not wanting to wake my beloved, I'm mourning for a love that will never be. Because even if he regain his memories, it doesn't gurantee that he'll forgive me. Even if he remembers me, it wouldn't mean that he still loves me.

Moments of silence passed, Red began to stir then he opened his eyes..

I feigned sleep, para hindi niya makita ang mata ko.. They're puffy and swollen. Slowly I felt him, got up and "She's asleep?", I hear him asked Belize in whispers

I couldn't see Belize's reaction but maybe she nodded because Red is moving slowly and talks to her in whispers..

"You dozed off for almost an hour. Nangalay na nang husto si Ate Rafa", sita ni Belize dito in full whisper.

"Anong oras na ba?", tanong ni Red still whispering..

"11:00, kukuha lang ako nang pillow para kay Ate" at naramdaman kung tumayo na si Belize.

"Don't bother, tulungan mo na lang ako", I heard him say.

Ang hirap palang magtulug-tulogan eh.. Kunwari gising na kaya ako.

When I felt his arms around me. "Rafaella, dito ka sa lap ko mahihiga ha.", kinakausap talaga ako nang mokong.

"Belize, itaas mo yung legs nang ate mo. Dahan dahan lang baka magising", utos niya kay Belize, bumubulong pa rin.

I can imagine Belize's face, panigurado malapit nang bumigay at bumunghalit nang tawa..

Paano nga ba gisingin ang gising?

"I-check mo muna yung pinapaluto ko kina Manang baka gutom na si Rafaella pag nagising", utos ni Red sa kapatid nito.

I can feel him staring at me even with my eyes closed. I felt his fingers on my hair, fixing it perhaps.

Nang bigla siyang bumuntong hininga nang napakalalim.

Tapos bigla siyang nagsalita: "You're really pretty, even with your eyes closed, you're pretty. Your lips pink and pouty, asking for a kiss", tracing his fingers on my lips. "Ano kaya kung halikan kita? Hindi mo rin naman malalaman, kasi tulog ka. Besides, your lips are asking for it".

Is he really going to do it?

Daddy, anong gagawin ko?

Should I open my eyes and pretend that I'm already awake or should I just let him kiss me.

Wahhhh, Ottoke, Ottoke (What to do, what to do?).

"Open your eyes or I'll kiss you. I know you're awake Rafaella", he demanded...

THANKS TO: MidnightSoulTrain

A/N..

I know Rafa's not the maton anymore, well that was all pretense but she never loses her spunk.. 

I wanted to punish her more with regards to their couple rings, but hey the girl needs some moments too and she really need a break from the heartbreak.

So beware Pinocchios (Liars) out there, you might just make your noses long enough to the point of no return..
