Final Chapter

Gia's POV

"I miss you so much, love." He whispered against my lips as our nose touched each others tip.

I woke up from my imagination and pushed Hiro away from me.

"Kissing me and pretending to be Ziro is never a good joke Hiro. Is it that funny to play me around huh?" Naiinis kong ani habang nililigpit ang mga gamit ko at binabalak umalis. Seryoso akong nakikipag-usap tapos paglalaruan lang ako.

I am so into Ziro but I am not that stupid. Plus he can't just kiss people for a joke.

"Gia wait!"

"I'm leaving." I said as I walked out nang hindi man lang siya tinitignan.

Mas lalo akong nainis nang may bumangga pa sa'kin at nauntog ang noo ko sa matigas niyang dibdib.

Sisinghalan ko na sana siya nang makitang si Hiro ang nakabangga sakin. He's wearing different clothes and he was with Nadia behind him, smiling widely at me.

What the--

"That's not me Gia. How could you possibly not recognize the man of your life?" May panunudyong wika ni Hiro. Napaawang ang bibig ko habang pinagpalit-palit ang mga tingin kina Nadia at Hiro na nagpipigil ng tawa habang tinitignan ako.

"Gia, that guy right there is not Hiro. Because Hiro is together with me since this morning so... " Nadia said.

My chest beated so fast as I slowly turned around to see the guy I longed for a very long while. I can't believe it! Is it really him? Is he really back!?

Everything seems like a dream to me now.

Kaya pala, kaya pala may kakaiba akong nararamdaman kanina. I just rejected the thought thinking how impossible it can be. My heart recognizes him, my heart does!

Wala nakong sinayang pa na oras and quickly run back towards him. And when I reached him, I hugged him so very tight. No words came out from my mouth but sobs as I buried my face unto his neck.

He then hugged me with equal intensity and pulled me up as he kissed the side of my face, hair and neck several times.

"I missed you so damn much love. Thank you for waiting." Ziro said in a hoarse voice because of crying.

Mahina akong natawa sa hitsura niya, it's the first time I saw him cry like this, he's so cute. I hugged him even tighter, parang ayoko siyang pakawalan kasi baka panaginip lang 'to.

I'm so afraid that when I do, I'll lose him again.

"Ang sama-sama mo. You fooled me." Humihikbi kong pang-aaway sa kanya.

"I didn't mean to. I just wanna surprise you." He laughed at me and I glared at him.

"I love you so so much Ziro. I love you so much. I love you, love." Paulit-ulit kong sabi sa kanya habang sinasapo niya ang mukha ko.

He held my chin and pulled me into a kiss making people cheer around us. At kahit na maraming tao sa paligid, we didn't care. All we care about is our lips gently pressed together.

"Kuya what are they doing?"

Natigilan kaming dalawa sa paghahalikan ni Ziro nang marinig ang inosenteng boses ni Johanna. I was so embarrassed na natulak ko palayo si Ziro sakin. Hindi ko napansin na nandito narin pala sila ni Hansen at ang kapatid niya.

"Uhm, nag-aano..." Nauutal na sagot ni Johansen habang nakatulala saming dalawa ni Ziro. Tinakpan niya naman ang mata ni Hannah kaso yung isang mata lang.
