UT 21

Kristen's POV

"Wow. Your house is amazing."

"It's OUR house babe. Our happy place."

"Yea. It looks perfect. Sinong nag-design?" I asked out of curiosity. It was so perfect. Bagay na bagay ang design sa tabing-dagat. "Sinong nag-design babe?"

Napatingin ako sa kanya at may pagtatanong sa mukha niya.

"You can't remember who?" He asked as if he's really wondering if I am just bluffing or what.

"I c-can't." I answered still unsure.

"Whoa. T-that's unacceptable." He shook his head.

"And why is that? I really can't remember." I tried to laugh to ease the tension I'm feeling.

"Maybe we need to get inside for you to remember." He guided me inside the house.

Napatakip ako ng bibig. Kung perfect na siyang tignan sa labas, mas maganda pa sa loob. It looks so perfect together with the furniture in it.

"Can you remember now babe?" He asked me once again.

"I still can't." I bite the bottom of my lips.

I'm trying to watch for his reaction. There must be something wrong with what I answered but how do I know? I really don't know! I wish mommy Beca is here to give me the answer-oh wait!

"Is it mommy Beca babe?" I tried to asked with a hopeful voice na sana tama ang hula ko.

"I can't believe that you forgot all of your designs. I can't believe that you forgot all the furnitures that you picked way back then." I was in state of shock. Si Alice ang nag-design ng buong bahay?

"I.. I-"

"How can you forget that?" May pagtataka na sa boses niya.

What should I do? What should I answer? I need to think! Ayokong mabuko ni Axis.

"I'm sorry Axis. It's just that hindi ko matanggap lahat ng nangyari sayo way back then kaya maraming bagay ang pinili ko na lang kalimutan. Isa na siguro ito sa mga yun."

"Even though you tried to forget eveything about me. Dapat kahit papaano naalala mo pa din ito." He is right.

Wala akong natatandaan na nagka-amnesia si Alice para makalimutan ang ganito ka-importanteng bagay.

"I'm really sorry-ouch!"

"Babe? What's happening?" He asked me with a panic voice.

"My head hearts." I tried to sound hurt. Sorry Axis. I really need to do this. I need to distract you for the mean time.

Hindi pa ako handa na malaman mo ang totoo. Not today, not too soon please. My mission is not yet over. I still can't leave you like this.

Naramdaman ko ang paglapit at pagyakap niya sakin. "Napagod ka siguro sa biyahe. Saan ang masakit?"

"Kailangan ko lang siguro munang magpahinga."

"Halika na muna sa kwarto. We'll take a rest first. Kapag hindi mo kaya, uuwi na lang tayo agad okay?"

"Pero sayang naman tong baskayon-"

"No buts babe. I can't risk you. Isa pa, we can always do this naman. We have our whole life babe, hindi mo naman ako iiwan diba?" He asked while holding my chin.

"Hinding-hindi." I shook my head. "Ikaw lang, pangako." I answered and I felt my eyes watered.

He started to kiss my tears away until he reached my lips and in no time, I am now responding to his kisses.

I started to play his hair using my fingers. I am so inlove with this man. Sa sobrang lalim na ng pagmamahal ko sa kanya, hindi ko na alam kung paano pa aahon ulit.

"Hmm."

"Morning babe." Well it's still morning. Waking up at 9 am in the morning is very especially when waking up beside him.

"How are you feeling?" He asked instantly.

"I'm good babe. Sabi sayo napagod lang ako e."

"Mabuti naman. Ang mabuti pa, kumain na tayo. Stay here, I'll cook first."

"Oops. No need babe. Nakapagluto na ko ng breakfast. Ikaw na lang ang hinihintay." I smiled.

"Napakapasaway mo talaga. You cooked kahit na masama ang pakiramdam mo? Paano na lang kung mahilo ka? Paano kung-"

"Calm down babe. Look at me. I'm fine. Walang nangyari, so you don't need to worry. Why don't we just eat?"

Nagsimula na nga kaming kumain pagkatapos ng mahaba-habang pilitan.

"Where are we going next?" Excited na tanong ko.

"I'll cancel all of our plans for today. I want you to rest."

"Babe!" I hissed. "We will continue your plans today."

"No."

"Kapag hindi tayo tumuloy, asahan mong hindi kita papansinin ng isang linggo."

Natigilan siya pero nakuha ding ngumiti agad. "Of course you can't do that."

"Says who?" I asked.

"Hindi mo ako matitiis babe." He tried to hug me pero umiwas ako.

"Try me then." I said before leaving him.

Alice, please don't come back yet. :(
