"Cain?"
"Just as I thought, I missed you so badly." I felt my heart skip a beat at what he just said. Nagulat ako ng niyakap niya ako, and to my surprised I pushed him hard. Muntik pa siyang matalisod if I didn't held his arm.
"I-I'm sorry, are you okay?" I saw a disappoinment in his eyes, tila hindi man lang siya nawindang sa pagkakatulak ko sa kanya.
"I'm okay." He said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Sorry, it's just that, nagulat lang ako. It's my reflexes, I didn't mean to pushed you Cain." Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nandito siya, medyo napatanga talaga ako sa pagdating niya. After a minute or so, I invited him to come inside, na pinaunlakan naman niya. Medyo awkward kasi ngayon lang kami ulit nagkita in person.
"Do you want some drinks or foods, maybe?" He shook his head as an answer.
"Bakit ka pala nandito? Hindi pa naman weekends hindi ba? Something happened in your school?" He shook his head again. I sighed. Walang patutunguhan ang pag-uusap na ito kung puro iling lang ang ibibigay niya sa akin. Kaya naman lumapit ako sa kanya and patted his back.
"Hey, Cain? What took you so long?" Wala na dapat paligoy-ligoy pa. Diretsahan kung diretsahan. Wala kaming mapapala eh kung katahimikan ang bumabalot sa amin.
"I'm sorry Hade for this past months that you felt ignored by me. I'm just really busy and I couldn't managed my time that well. Everything is so new to me, us, is also new to me. I know I doubted what he have for those months kaya I chose to ignored you also, I admit that. Pero sa mga panahong yon, hirap na hirap ako. I want to see you and hug you. Hindi sapat ang paghingi ko ng kapatawaran, I know that, but I hope you give me another chance. Please, Hade?" Mahaba niyang lintanya. That's what I needed. I touched his hands na nakapatong sa mga tuhod niya.
"I also doubted what we have the moment you ignored me. Akala ko it's just a past time for you. I'm sorry if I didn't wait for your explanation, I'm sorry if I gave up that easily, Cain. At tulad mo, bago lang din sa akin ang relationship na meron tayo ngayon. And thank you for giving me an explanation, kahit hindi naman dapat." This time, he's the one who puts his hand to mine. I look up to him and met his gaze.
"No, you deserve an explanation. A girl like you doesn't deserve what I just did. Kaya nga eto ako, humihingi ng pangalawang pagkakataon. So, will you let me Hade?" I sincerely smile at him and nodded my head as an answer. And as if on cue he hugged me again, but this time around, I didn't pushed him. Instead I hugged him back, tightly.
"Ah, I never thought that just a hug would make me feel so at ease for these passed few months." He whispered. I chuckled.
"Me too." He gently moved back to me and smile at me which makes me a bit confused. Medyo nagulat ako ng lumuhod siya sa harapan ko and held my hand.
"What--" He cuts me off by pecking a kiss on my cheek. I blushed immediately.
"Hade Zen Franco, there's no certainty if I can reply to you whenever I'm online. There's no certainty that I can accompany you to the places we used to hangout. There's no certainty that I can call you every night. But one thing is for sure, I want you and only you." I gasped at what he is implying. Naramdaman ko ang paghigpit ng hawak niya sa kamay ko na parang ayaw na niyang bitawan ito.
"I've been thinking about this for those passed few months, but now I'm certain. Hade, I would love to be the luckiest guy in the world if you would let me be your guy. Would you?" I almost snickered at his statement, but I tried my best to maintain my composure and look at him straight in his eyes.
"That's the cheesiest line I've ever heard a guy spouting." He frowned at me and I chuckled. I cupped his face with my both hands and stare at him for a moment. Na-confused siya sa ginawa ko and was about to say something nang unahan ko siya.
"But even if it's the cheesiest line I've ever heard in my life, I would love to hear it every single day or every second. As long as it's you, and yes I would love to have you as my guy. Exclusively." His face lights up and hugged me tight again.
"You have no idea how much you made me happy, Hade. Thank you." I just hugged him tightly.

I blink and open my eyes. I checked the time, it's 3:15 in the morning. Deym. I want to go back to sleep!! Napaupo ako but then I realized that I'm sleeping at my bed, when in fact, nasa living room ako kagabi with------- 😶😶😲 CAIN! Where the hell is he?!
Nagmadali akong lumabas ng kwarto ko, I felt relieved when I saw Cain at my living room. He's sleeping so soundly at my couch. I walked towards him at inayos ko yung kumot niya. I just stare at him the whole time, kasi hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na nandito siya at totoo yung nangyari kagabi.
I gently traced his face with my fingertips. I want to memorize every bits of his face, I might miss some if I didn't do it. I smile, I never knew I'm so in love with him. Ah Hade, you're so stupidly in love with him.
Nagulat ako when I felt Cain moved. And I look away the moment he open his eyes and stared at me.
"Hey, you know it's rude when you're staring at someone sleeping so soundly. Yet, you can't even look me in my eyes when I stare at you." I blushed. Damn, hindi ko alam na ang bilis lang niyang magising. Nakakahiya tuloy. I felt his hand touched mine and squeeze it gently.
"My day can't get any better with you here Hade." I blushed when he lean in and kissed my cheek. Hindi pa ako sanay sa ganito kaya siniksik ko na lang yung sarili ko kay Cain. Through his chest I can feel the way his heart raced, I smile.
"If you continue being like that, my heart might burst any moment." He kissed my hair and gently forced me to pulled out the hug. The moment I look at him I saw that his cheeks are red too.
"You already burst mine the moment you stare at me like that, Cain. Kaya patas na tayo." I chuckled. He then cupped my face after.
"You never failed to amazed me Hade, I love you so much." My heart beat became fast the moment I heard those words coming from Cain. Ahh.. it's so satisfying. I began to smile and I can't helped but to hugged Cain.
"I love you best too, Cain. You're the best thing I ever had in my life. I hope that we can get through ups and downs in the future. Kasi gusto ko hanggang dulo walang bibitaw sa atin."
"Walang bibitaw hanggang dulo Hade. I don't have a plan on letting you go anyway. I love you, my girl."

Lame ending again 😅
