Anika's POV

'Are you really sure about this Nika? You might regret this.' Dianne said, still convincing me to stop.

'Nasabi ko na Dianne, Tyaka I don't think I can't handle that much distance. She decided without me. Ano ba ko sa relasyong to? Saan ako lulugar?' I said confusingly.

'You should atleast let her explain her part Nika, Baka hindi rin niya gusto to. At kilala mo si Tita Cat, hindi makakahindi si Cel don.'  Dianne said trying to explain more calmly. 

'Pero maraming babae sa Europe Dianne, Probably more skinnier, more prettier and more smarter than me. I'm opening her opportunities, Giving her more options. Baka may makilala siya at mas magustuhan niya yon kesa sakin. It'll be much easier to just finish what we have here before it becomes much harder for the both of us.' I said trying to contain myself from crying. 

Dianne left after a short conversation, I'm guessing Cel talked to her about the fight. I know I'm being a bad partner but I just can't do this, not even for a month. Celestine is the only thing I have. She is the only person who understands me. She handles my mood swings, my tantrums, my breakdowns. She is my home. And it's so hard trying to accept the fact that she might leave me for someone else or I might. I feel so confused. I don't like this kind of feeling.

I texted her saying the two of us should break up, Celestine needed the space if she wants this to work. Kaylangan niyang masanay na wala ako. Kaylangan niyang tanggaping ganito kami sooner or later dahil aalis siya at hindi ko alam kung hanggang kaylan ko kakayanin. She needs to realize that if she decides about something she should stick with her choices. I understand her, I know how much she wants to prove herself to her parents after all that she had been through. And to help her to do that, I am teaching her to think only of her work. I'm teaching her to unlove me. 

Her mom wants her to be the best version of herself. Celestine was in a lot of trouble way back highschool, but she's really intelligent and she learns so fast. She wants to prove to herself and her parents that she could actually do something right. 

I was about to take a shower when I heard a knock from outside my room.

'Manang? Sino yan?' I asked getting near the door.

'Love? Can we please talk? I can't do this. I can't break up with you.' Cel said as I open the door. 

I let her in, made her sit on the bed. 

'Maliligo lang ako, tyaka tayo mag usap.' I said bitterly. 

I head inside the bathroom to prepare the tub, I closed the lights and lit all my scented candles. I want atleast have a relaxing bath before crying myself to sleep. 

I had a quick nap when I heard the bathroom door opened, I was trying to see who went in but I can't see it quite clearly. After a couple of seconds I heard the lock and the person starts to walk near me. 

'Cel? bakit ka andito? Sabi ko diba maliligo lang ako?' I said nervously.

Celestine went inside the bathroom naked, who wouldn't get nervous?

'I'll join you then, I missed you. Can we please not argue anymore?' Cel said sweetly. 

She went in the tub and hugged me from the back, I did not respond to anything she had said. I remain silent and was planning to remain silent until I saw her face getting near mine. I was trying to ignore her, But those lips are just my weakness. I closed my eyes as I feel her lips touched mine, she started moving her lips and I responded willingly. She held my nape to make the kiss even more intense,  I was surprised on how she managed to made me sit on her lap that quickly.
