Kissing my Limits (Good Kiss Series #4)

Epilogue

Hi! You are probably cursing me and will curse me more when you read the epilogue, but it is what it is.

This is my take on something that is very close to me. And very very, realistic. A story of letting go. A story of a brave woman. I hope you love Aracelli as much as I do.

It hurts for me to write about this too because as you all know, I love Aracelli and Jace's love story.

And this is their story.

Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat at hinahayaan niyo akong ibahagi ang ganitong klase ng kwento. 

This is Jace's POV and a snippet of what happened after Aracelli let him go.

-----

She let me go.

She left too soon. I wasn't finished loving her and I don't think I will ever be.

Hinilamos ko ang palad sa mukha. For weeks, I have always been contacting her, stalking her and sometimes even showing up at her door only to be kicked out. It hurts to see how badly she wants me gone... How badly she wants me out of her life like a fucking dust. A fucking pest.

Umuwi ako ng Maynila matapos niya akong ipagtulakan muli. Sinamahan ko si Anika na i pa check up muli si Ephraim. I need some second opinion about my son's condition.

Pero hindi ito ang huling beses na pupuntahan ko si Aracelli at kukulutin. Hindi pa ako tapos. Susubukan ko muli. Baka sakaling puwede pa. Baka sakaling magbago pa ang isipan niya at manaig ang pagmamahal niya sa akin.

Alam kong mahal niya ako at nagsakripisyo siya para sa anak ko. Ang sabi niya sa akin, madamot daw siya. Hindi ako naniniwala! She's fucking selfless! She has every right to chain me to her because she owns me. She owns every part of me.  She showed me how selfless she is. How she's willing to sacrifice for my son.

Ano ang gusto niyang gawin ko matapos niya akong itulak palayo?

Love someone else? That is completely bullshit.

All of the love I have in this stupid heart of mine is only and exclusively for her.

"I'm sorry," Anika sat beside me while I'm busy reading some proposals in the company. Narito kami sa private room ni Ephraim. Nasa kabilang silid sila ng doktor na sumusuri sa kanya.

Tinignan ko si Anika. She looks pale now, and I can see a bit of regret and sadness in her eyes.

"I didn't mean to break you and Aracelli apart..." Yumuko siya.

Tumikhim ako at sinarado ang laptop saka tuluyan siyang hinarap.

Anika is kind. Kahit noon pa mang naging magkarelasyon kami. Seryoso siya at mabuti ang puso para sa lahat. Maybe Race is right that I am selfish. Nagalit ako kay Anika dahil dumating siya... She came unannounced, and it shattered and rocked my world... My life with Aracelli. It ruined us. But I know I have to thank Anika. Itinaguyod niyang mag-isa ang mga anak namin. Alam kong hindi nga niya intensyon na sirain kami ni Race. Alam kong gusto niya lang iligtas ang anak namin. Mabait siya. I know. I used to love her, or atleast that's what I think...

Dahil nang dumating si Aracelli, iba ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanya. Ibang-iba sa lahat.

At ibang-iba sa depinisyon ko ng pagmamahal.

For her, I am willing to be selfish and selfless at the same time.

I thought my life is already full. That I know what happiness is. I know what love is... not until she came into my life.

With her, it's different. It hits differently.

I remembered the first time I saw her. Kakalipat lang namin ni Mama Vina sa bahay nina Lolo at Lola. Galing kaming Thailand dahil nagbakasyon kami roon at binista rin ang puntod ng tunay kong ina. Ngayon ay bumalik lang dahil sa pasukan. I'm on my second year in College.
