Maximus (A tagalog novel)

Chapter 60

Levi's POV

Life with Ellie has always been so much better. I never thought I would fall so hard for a person. Let alone to someone who's world is the complete opposite to mine. I was a wreck but she's always chosen to forgive and understand me. And for that I'm grateful.

I was supposed to leave for Switzerland that night with Peachy but my heart and mind just doesn't agree with the plan. I respect my father and his wish for me to get married before he dies. But I couldn't fulfill that wish because I wasn't in love with Peachy.

And when he died I became too hard on myself. At naapektuhan pa ako ng husto when I lost my unborn child.

Naniwala akong hindi ko deserve ang katulad ni Ellie. Because she's kind,compassionate,and has a warm heart. And that she deserves someone better than me.

But for the first time, I found a woman who doesn't care about my money and status. All she cared about was the love she has for me. And Ellie deserves the world. And I'll make sure to give that to her.

There's so many plans I want to fulfill for our future. And that will start with trust. Ang pagtitiwala sa isa't isa na minsan nang nawala. That's what we lack when we met each other. And I am determined na magtiwalang muli sa akin ang babae at ganun din ako rito.

Today's the day we'll be with each other's arms again. And I can't wait.

She wanted to ride the bus but I said no. And refused when I said na susunduin ko ito. Minsan ay may katigasan rin ang ulo ni Ellie but I can't blame her.

She's young and naive. She's only 19 and I'm already 30. There's a huge age gap between us but I don't really care and neither does she.

Ngunit hindi pa ako handang malaman ng mundo ang relasyon namin ng babae. Siguradong magiging tampo ito ng tuksuhan sa campus at magiging laman ng balita dahil sa agwat ng aming edad. At ayokong mangyari kay Ellie iyon.

It's hard when everybody judges you. Especially when you're famous. And I am one.

I insisted na sunduin na lamang ito ng aking private jet at nakailang kumbinsi ako rito bago sya pumayag.

15 minutes na lamang ay lalapag na ang eroplano kaya naman nagmadali akong magmaneho patungo sa private lot ko na nagsilbing landing area ng aking mga private jets and chopper.

Nagmadali akong bumaba ng sasakyan at halos takbuhin ang runway ng makita ko itong pababa ng jet stairs.

"Hi!" Her smile's so bright and she looks so cute in her red top and jeans with sneakers.

"Baby" I muttered before pulling her in for a hug.

"Grabe! Ang bilis ko nakarating! Medyo natakot ako pero buti na lang ay nandon si Mang Art kasama ko at sa--"

Pinutol ko ang sasabihin nito at inatake ito ng halik.

I smiled when she snaked her arms around my neck to return my kiss.

"Hmm.." mahinang sambit nito na nakapikit pa matapos ang aming halik.

"You look so beautiful" Papuri ko sa babae at kitang kita ko ang pamumula ng mga pisngi nito.

"At ang pogi pogi mo sa suot mo.." She muttered smiling from ear to ear.

How did I get so lucky?

"I had to rush here from the office"

"Mukha nga..okay lang.. kahit siguro puno ka pa ng grasa sa muka ang gwapo mo pa din!" Pagkatapos akong kurutin nito sa aking pisngi ay tumawa ito.
