Dahil sa puyat at pagod sa pag-iisip ay nakatulog sa kanilang byahe si Kim. Nagising na lang sya nang maramdaman nyang may malambot na dumampi sa kanyang noo. Nabungaran nya ang nakangiting mukha ng asawa. Nang tumingin sya sa labas ng kotse ay madilim na ang paligid.
Where are we? Kim asked in low voice.
We're here in our private resthouse in Tagaytay, Xian quickly said.
Hindi nya napigilan ang pagtalon ng puso dahil sa tuwa nang gamitin nito ang salitang 'our'.
It's cold... Kim candidly say.
Let's go inside, Xian said while helping Kim to go out the car. When there already inside the resthouse Kim can't stop herself to admire the house's interior design; there's a sofa set in the sala facing the wall made of glass so that you can see the whole Tagaytay view. The lights outside is so relaxing. In the middle of the sofa there's a table wherein some different colored scented candles are on it. And then she saw 2 doors that she believes the kitchen and the master's bedroom.
Do you like it? Xian whispered.
As an answer she nodded and walk through the wall and look outside.
What are we doing here, Xi? Kim seriously asked. She felt that Xian came close to her and also looked outside.
I have something important to tell you, Xian said softly.
Pinilit magsalita ni Kim para matapos na ang lahat at makapag-move on na sya.
Kung nahihirapan ka sa gusto mong sabihin at nag-aalala na baka masaktan ako dahil inamin kong mahala kita, huwag kang mag-alala, I'm okay. Hindi naiwasang pumiyok ni Kim sa huling sinabi.
What are you saying? naguguluhang tanong ni Xian nang hawakan sya sa magkabilang balikat at iharap sya dito.
Gusto mo ba ako pa ang magsabi na kaya tayo nandito ay dahil sasabihin mo na hindi mo ako mahal at hihiwalayan mo na ako dahil hinihintay ka ni Melissa? At this time Kim fell into tears already, its like a faucet that continously on falling.
Kimberly Sue, listen to me. We're here coz I want all your attention on me, I want to be with you, and most of all.... We're here coz I want to tell you and want you to know that I love you. I love you very much, Mrs. Kimberly Sue Yap Chiu Lim-Uy.
Sa narinig ay biglang nanlambot si Kim, mabuti na lang ay naalalayan sya ni Xian.
Are you okay, Babe? nag-aalalang tanong ni Xian habang inaalalayan sya nitong maupo sa sofa. What happened to you?
You just made me feel dizzy, nahihiyang pag-amin ni Kim. Naramdaman nyang natigilan si Xian sa kanyang tabi pagkatapos ay bigla itong humagalpak ng tawa.
Really, I did that? natutuwa pa ring tanong ni Xian, samantalang sya ay parang mansanas na sa pula ang mukha sa kahihiyan.
Tiningnan nya ito nang matalim saka biglang tumayo, pero naagapan sya ni Xian sa braso at hinila pabalik. At that time she fell on his lap.
Don't be mad, I'm just so happy that I made you feel dizzy, natatawang sabi ni Xian.
Xi....? Nakadama sya ng kaba. Biglang humigpit ang pagkakayakap nito sa kanya.
Yes, Babe?
What did you say awhile ago? Nakipagtitigan sya sa asawa para masigurado na totoo ang sasabihin nito.
I love you so much, Kimmy. Halos lumundag ang puso nya sa narinig; mahal din sya ni Xian! Maling-mali sa kanyang iniisip.
Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin agad?
I know I'm such a jerk. Hindi ko kasi alam kung paano sasabihin ang nararamdaman ko para sa'yo. I was scared to death that you might reject me.
Kumislap ang kanyang mga mata sa tuwa.
God, Xi! Hindi mo lang alam kung gaano katagal kong inantay na sabihin mo iyan. At first I really fell in love with you, I'm just scared that you will make me feel that our marriage will last only for a year.
Hindi mo ba naramdaman na mahal kita? Kahit hindi ko sinabi ay ipinaramdam ko.
Well, naramdaman ko, kaya nga umasa ako, pero...pero iyong narinig ko sa office mo...
Hush, Babe, Melissa is nothing to me. She's just part of my past.
Pero I've heard that you tell her that we'll be together for a year, giit ni Kim.
Yes, I told her that, but I didn't tell her that we can go back to each other. And besides, I don't have any plans to let our marriage ruined and she can't do anything about it.
a/n: next update will be more kilig and will have some mature scene, keep posted guys, and wanna say big thank you for supporting my story 'the agreement'.
