Chapter 31

Fliory

"Gising naman na siya diba?" Jax whispered.

"Yes," Rein responded carefully as they both lean on Magnus' room door.

"Should we talk to him?" Sun hesitantly says while he stand behind Rein and Jax.

Rein shrugs, unsure of what to do. I couldn't help but to roll my eyes at their conversation.

"Come on. Ikaw ang butler niya. You should be the one talking to him," Jax argued.

"Yeah, I know damn well that when he isn't in the mood, I get in trouble," Rein blurted out, nonchalantly.

I pressed my lips together before breathing out, deciding I'll be doing the work. "Ako na," I presented.

Ang bibilis nilang lumayo sa pinto at nagpasalamat sa akin, sabay-sabay pa silang nagsialis. Ang mga lokong 'to. Inantay lang akong magvolonteer eh.

Alas singko na ng hapon. Sigurado raw na gising na si Magnus.

Gumsing ako kaninang tanghalian. And I already have my decision.

I took a deep breathe before knocking on the door. I got this.

My hand went to the doorknob, twisted it open and walk inside. Nang makapasok ako, my eyes went to the bed where he is.

"Hey," bati ko sa kanya bago lumapit sa kama niya.

Hanggang ngayon tulala siyang nakahiga.

"Magnus," I call out his name.

Maya-maya ay tumingin siya sa akin pero hindi rin nagtagal ay nag-iwas siya ng tingin.

"You can leave without meeting me," matamlay niyang sabi.

"Sigurado ka?" tanong ko.

He stays quiet.

"I actually came here to tell you something." Umupo ako sa kama niya. "I don't want to be an option and I don't want you choosing between me and her. I don't want any of that to happen, so I thought that the best way to solve this is to leave you, so I am-"

Hindi ko pa natatapos ang sasabihin ko ay bumangon siya sa kama at yumakap sa akin. "I have nothing to promise you, I can't promise you the world, the star, the moon, the universe but I can promise you, I'll cherish you, I'll take care of you, I'll be anything I can be for you, please, please don't leave," he begs.

"Let me go," I say trying to get his hands off of me but he won't let me.

"Sarah is a very important person to me but so are you. You are someone to me, too and I may not be able to label that now, but I promise you, you are in my heart." His voice low and weak, almost like a whisper voice but I can tell it's in the verge of cracking.

"Magnus, look at me," I tell him.

He pulls away from the hug, so I cupped his face and lean my forehead on his forehead.

"I won't leave you."

I close my eyes.

"W-what?" I could hear how surprise he is.

"I said I won't leave you."

He became breatheless. I could hear him gasping for air. It's as if it's such a breath taking news. I pull myself away from him to see how he look. Eyes widen but I can see he's very happy, his eyes full of hope.

Hindi ko mapigilang hindi matawa sa itsura niya.

"Alam mo para kang natatae," I said, laughing.

"Stop laughing. It's not funny."

"Sorry, sorry." Umayos ako ng upo at nagseryoso. "But seriously, I won't leave you."

His eyes glinted, a tear is threatening to escape it's way down to his cheeks but he tries to stop it. "Why?" he asks.

"I love you," I told him.

It was enough to make him cry, tears streaming down his eyes, lips pressed together containing the sob.

"I won't allow myself to be an option but will you allow me to stay? I won't interfere with anything, just let me love you."

"Sunshine," he calls me. "Don't ask me that. Don't make it seem like you're begging for it," he gently say as he wipe his tears and lean closer to me and give me a forehead kiss.

"I didn't try to beg you to stay because you're a person that can warm my bed but someone who can warm my heart. You bring joy to me even though I am like this. You're patient, you are loving, and I'll say it again, you're everything that I thought impossible to have," he explained.

I pressed my lips together to stop myself from crying. "I won't ask for a label, but I am grateful to be in your heart."

"No, I am the one that's grateful that you're in my heart, in my life, in this moment, in this second. You're here," he points his chest. "That's for sure."

I lean closer to him and gently press my lips on his lips.

I know what I'm doing and I'm blindly gumbling with my heart on the line, right now. I am again, putting everything on the line for him to take care of or crush, but right now, I am sure he'll take care of it and that's enough for me.

I know it's hard to be stock in the past where every horrible things had happen, that thing I what I understand most but to be stock in a horrible past where only you can have the most comforting memory, I don't know what's it like but I will try and understand. As long as he gives me this assurance that he isn't just here with me because he uses me, but because I am somewhat, somewhere in his heart, I am fine with that.

I'll settle with that.

This is how I choose to lead my life. I am in control and I do know what I'm doing.

I just hope someday he says I love you to me without the guilt in Sarah's death. Maybe someday, we'll both be free to love each other the way we want to, without anyone's presence to try and stop us or guilt over someone's death.
