Chapter 39

"Peter.."

I lost my words as his blue eyes look at me with his tender love. His eyes were like a part from the decorative lights coming from the tree. Beautiful yet it reflects a painful sadness.

"I'm serious, Behati."

I want to touch his face, I want to brush the mixture of pain in his eyes and I want to make his eyes sparkle with happiness.

But my words are about to give him another batch of pain.

"But—" he didn't let me say my words. His lips crashed mine with hunger and longing like we haven't seen each other for years.

I want to kiss him back, but that will only give another complication. His kiss lasted for a seconds.

"No buts baby, please. You can stay in UASA and I'll leave." Matigas nitong pahayag. Hindi ito ang gusto kong marinig mula sa kanya.

He can't just give up his career for me.

"Do you think, I am selfish like that? Tatanggalin ko ang ilang taon mong pinaghirapan?"

"It is my choice, Behati. Hindi ikaw ang nagtulak sa akin, sarili ko itong desisyon." Umiling ako sa sinabi niya.

Sinubukan kong tanggalin ang mga kamay niya sa mukha ko.

"Do you think I'll believe that you're fully good with your decision? Sa tingin mo ay hindi ko alam na may parte sa sarili mo na gusto mong manatili sa UASA?" Hindi ko akalain na magdedesisyon siya ng ganito.

I heard his parents, kahit ang mga ito ay kilala ang kanilang anak sa malaki nitong debosyon sa kanyang trabaho.

"I'm fine with my decision, Behati."

"You are not fine with that, Peter. Manatili ka, manatili tayong dalawa. Gawin natin ang bagay na ginagawa natin bago pa man tayo magtungo sa Myanmar. You devote yourself to UASA and I'll devote myself too." Pilit kong ipinaliliwanag sa kanya.

"H-How? How is that possible baby if I'm already devoted to you?" muli sana ako nitong hahalikan pero agad kong iniwas ang mukha ko.

"Rylandrien Peter Armstrong isn't you without UASA, without planes. I am not selfish to cut your wings to be with me. Hindi lang ikaw ang nasaktan nang nagdesisyon tayong maghiwalay. I was hurt too, damn hurt Pedro. Pero kailangan nating palayain ang isa't-isa dahil sasayangin natin ang ilang taon nating pinaghirapan. Can't you understand that?"

Bakit hindi ko ito naisip noon? Why did I let this happen?

Pero may parte sa puso at isip ko na nagpapasalamat na hindi ko naisip ang bagay na ito simula pa lamang. Because that means, there will be no good memories with Pedro.

"No, I made my decision. I'll file a resignation letter. If you're afraid that UASA might kick you, ako na ang aalis Behati. You stay in UASA." Umawang ang bibig ko sa sinabi niya.

"Peter! This isn't about mine! Iniisip rin kita! It wasn't about my license or even my damn card for project Mars! This is for us, this decision is for both us Peter. Ayokong magsayang at magtapon ng taong pinaghirapan natin." Nakailang ulit ko na ba itong sinabi sa kanya?

"I can waste years for you, Behati." Hindi na nito naririnig ang mga sinasabi ko.

"Peter, can you imagine the situation in UASA right now? Ikaw ang lubos na nakakaalam sa ating dalawa. We are lacking of people, kung mawawala ako mahihirapan ang UASA. At mas lalong malaking kawalan kapag ikaw ang nawala."
