Love Thy Neighbor (Completed)

Chapter 39 - Label

Unit 715 – Gabro’s Residences

From the time they left Shangrila until they reach their condo unit Benji keeps on blaming himself for not staying with Sunshine at all times.  He never thought that he would see her messed-up in less than thirty minutes that he was not with her.   

“Bakit ba kasi nandito ka pa? Alis na Benji.  Kaya ko na ang sarili ko” Sunshine said while she tried to walk towards her room.

“Kahit ilang beses mo akong paalis, I am not going anywhere Sinagtala, I am staying with you” Benji declared

“Ulul, sinong niloloko mo, iniwan mo nga ako kanina.  Mas pinili mo yung Cindy na yun. Kung sabagay sabi nga nila, kayo ang mas bagay.  You belong to each other.  So please Benji do me a favor, leave me alone and I don’t want to see you anymore” Sunshine said then throws herself on the couch as she felt another dizziness that would be impossible for her to walk to her room.

“I’m sorry” Benji humbly said

“Sorry your face Benjamin Rosales, bakit ba kasi naniniwala pa ako sa mga sinasabi mo. Noon pa naman niloloko mo na ako.  Fuck you Benjamin Rosales” Sunshine said while her eyes are closed as she feels dizzier when her eyes are open.    

“I know galit ka pero please tell me bakit ka ba nagagalit, tell it straight to my face” Benji said

“Eh tarantado ka pala eh, kanina lang nagso-sorry ka, tapos ngayon gusto mo sabihin ko sa yo bakit ako nagagalit, siraulo ka ba na magso-sorry na hindi naman alam kung bakit ako nagagalit. Gago ka pala eh” Sunshine said

“Go ahead and curse me. If you think it could make you feel better, tatanggapin ko lahat ng sasabihin mo, kahit ikamatay ko pa yan” Benji said while he helps her laid on the couch

“Umalis ka na Benji utang na loob. Kasi baka kapag nagtagal ka pa dito, maniwala na naman ako sa mga sasabihin mo.  Hindi na nga ako natututo eh, lagi na lang akong nagpapaloko sa yo. Simula noon hanggang ngayon naniniwala pa rin ako sa yo. Ang tanga-tanga ko pa rin.  I should have forgotten you a long time ago. Alam mo ba Benji, tiniis kong wag bumalik ng Pilipinas para lang hindi na kita makita.  Tiniis ko na hindi makasama ang Tatay ko, kasi despite sa mga ginawa mo sa akin, hindi ko kaya na magalit sa iyo.  Ang sakit-sakit ng ginawa mo alam mo ba yun, sobrang mong pinasakit ang loob ko pero hindi ako nagagalit sa yo eh.  And I hate myself for that, I hate myself because despite all the pains Benji, tangina lang, kasi hindi kita makalimutan” Sunshine sincerely uttered

“How can I make you feel better? I’ll do everything to take away all your pains” Benji asked

“Get out of my life Benji” Sunshine replied

“Please, wag naman yun” Benjie said.  “We both tried to live without each other for almost eight years.  Whether you admit it or not, both of us live miserably without each other despite our success in our individual careers.  We were not complete for almost eight years Sinag therefore we have to stay by each other’s side because we complete each other” he added

“Then what? Allow you to hurt me even more?” Sunshine said

“No, I will never ever hurt you Sinag” Benji replied

“Yes you did, just earlier you did” Sunshine briefly replied

“I’m sorry kung nasasaktan kita, pero believe me, hindi ko yun sinasadya.  Please let me make it up to you and do not shut me off I beg you.  I love you too much to hurt you.  Ask me anything wag lang yung kalimutan ka, much more yung layuan ka pa.  My life is miserable without you Sinag, kahit hindi mo ako mahal ok lang sa akin, basta hayaan mo lang ako lagi sa tabi mo.  Kahit ako lang ang magmamahal walang kaso yun” he said, only to realize that Sunshine is already asleep as she is already snoring.  He sadly smiles and gently strokes her hair.  After a while, he carried her to her room for a much comfortable sleep.  “Sleep first my starlight we will have a serious talk when you get better” he whispered and kisses Sunshine on her forehead
