Chapter 16

Raven's

Silence covered the whole penthouse. I can barely hear are breathe.

The awkwardness filled me and I hate it.

"Ahm. Eh. Cael, I'll do the dishes, kaya mo bang linisin itong sala?" I finally speaked out.

Lumapit siya sakin at walang sabi-sabing hinila ako papalapit sa kanya.

What now?

"Bakit parang nagmamadali ka ata Aira? Are you scared of me?" he asked

The way he calls my name rangs sweetly on my ears.

"I'm not scared, Cael. Why would I?"

"Then, are you purposely avoiding me?" he said.

"What? Hell no! Just because I want us to finish our task early, you easily concluded that? Oh, come on." I maintain my cool even our distance is making me uncomfortable.

"Stop making that excuses to me, Aira. You know it didn't work on me."

"What? I just clearly noticed that you already got to your hypothesis without gathering enough information. That's it."

"Aira, this is not a scientific experiment. It's your feelings we are talking about." He said mockingly.

He snaked his arms around my waist then hugged me.

"I missed you baby." He said

Damn. I've been avoiding him for months and it all turn to waste in just a minute.

"I m-missed you too." I said without even thinking.

For a moment I want to cherish this moment with him. For a moment, I'm not scared of the consequence of it. For a moment, I am this brave.

For a moment I want to be happy with him.

For only just a moment.

"Cael, please stop confusing me. Do you love me or just playing with my feelings?" I asked without any hesitation

He hugged me tighter and didn't answer.

Sinubukan kong kumawala sa kanya ngunit masyado syang palakas para makawala ako.

"Cael, for months I've been very confused on you. I make myself busy for me to forget my little feelings for you. Please stop toying me around. Stop giving me false hopes. It is really hard for me to avoid you and it's making me damn crazy. I make myself believe that its me who assume for your feeling but every time you look at me, I knew its different. Is it me who's weird or you are just that flirt to make this happen to me? For months, I pushed myself to my limits just to forget my everything to you. Akala ko wala na, pero ngayon bakit ginugulo mo nanaman ang utak ko?" Umiiyak kong turan.

"I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry." He said then kissed my forehead and the tip of my nose.

"Why are you so, sorry? Am I that bad?" I asked.

"No baby. Not at all. You are perfect." He said.

I can see pain through his eyes. He's crying. Pero bakit hindi kami pwede?

"Then, why do we have to suffer like this? Ano bang pumipigil sayo, Cael? To be honest, I really can't understand this!" I scream.

"Don't cry baby. Please don't cry for me."

Niyakap nya ulit ako at hinalikan sa ulo. Nanginginig ang balikat niya. He's crying. I can hear his little sobs.

"Promise me, you'll be happy. For me and for yourself."
