You're Still The One [COMPLETE]

Chapter 25

Ruru

As I lay on my bed, I get the book on the side table.

The Little Prince.

Kylie's favorite book. I smiled upon browsing it when a folded paper suddenly fall.

To my dearest fiance,

Love, Babe, Hubby, Sweetie, Mahal, My one and only, there's a lot of endearments I want to call you. But when you first asked me this question "Hon, will you please teach me how to car raising?" my heart skipped. In just a heartbeat we called each other with that endearment. Hon, remember all those times when we were on the rooftop? All those moments where we spend our time together if we don't have any tapings and we just want the time to be ours? Tomorrow, will be a new chapter of our life will begin and I can't wait for it. A new chapter of 'you' and 'me'. A new chapter where we will create our story. A new chapter that I'll make sure to be ours. I love you, hon, I love you that it makes me crazy not to see you that's why I'm writing you a letter. A letter that will let me remember no scratch that. That it will let us remember how we love each other.

Your one and only,

Nicole xoxo

I browsed the book until the last page and smiled upon seeing our photo booth photos during our wedding.

We were happy indeed. Those smiles. The laughters, the conversation happened that night. I clearly remember.

"What happened to us now?" tanong ko sa sarili ko "Can we still go back to how it used to be or at least make everything better?" tanong ko ulit sa sarili ko.

"I miss you, Nics" I said as I touch Kylie's picture "Everyday"

November 2017

Right after hearing everything from Rere. I drove the car without letting my driver know. Oo, sabihin niyo nang masama dahil iniwan ko ang driver ko pero kailangan ko mag-isip lalo na mas kailangan kong mapag-isa dahil kunti na lang sasabog ang utak ko kapag hindi ko nalabas tong galit ko.

I was just driving the car without thinking where I was thinking when I saw a familiar place. Napangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan ang kabuuhan ng rest house na akala ko binili ko for Sophia.

"What your mind is doing is like a defense mechanism. That's why instead of your wife you remember someone else that you thought that will not hurt you kaya nawala ang aalala mo sa asawa mo sa isipan mo at pinalitan ito ng ibang tao"

Those words coming from the doctor's mouth keep on mind.

My mind shut down my memories of her because I was afraid of getting myself hurt.

"Sir Ruru, nandito pala kayo"

Napalingon ako sa likuran ko at nakita ko si Mang Berting at ang asawa nitong si Manang Selma.

"Oo nga Mang Berting eh, napadaan kasi ako kaya naisipan kong magstop over muna dito" nakangiting sambit ko.

"Mabuti at namalayan ni Selma ang kotse mo kaya nagmadali kami papunta dito"

"Hindi na sana kayo nag-abala pa, saglit lang naman ako dito eh"

"Hindi ka dito magpapalipas ng gabi sir?"

Umiling ako "Hindi kasi ako nagpaalam na pupunta ako dito kaya sa asawa ko kaya uuwi ako"

"Sinong asawa sir? Yung dinala mo dito?" tila may galit na tanong ni Manang Selma sa akin.
