Moment of Truth

16

Nagulat na lang ako when she hugged me. Oo iniwas niya yung mukha niya to hug me. Napabalik ako bigla sa maayos na pagkakaupo. Walang umiimik samen.

Tumingin ako sa kamay niya only to see it na namumula kaya kinuha ko kaagad yun and caressed her hands

"R-rich..." i sighed. Fck it. Hearing my name being called para na kong kinikiliti.

"Nasaktan ka pa dahil saken. I'm sorry. Wala na ko nagawang tama" sabi ko na lang

"No! Rich hindi yan totoo" she said as she held on to my hands

"Ano ba kasing ginagawa mo dito? You should've just stayed home" I can't even look at her. Baka magbreak down ako.

"I can't. I can't stay home knowing you could possibly leave me. Rich wag kang aalis please. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Tanga ako Rich tatanga tanga girlfriend mo I'm sorry."

"Stop saying that. Hindi ka tanga. Siguro hindi lang talaga sapat yung ginagawa ko."

"NO! What you're doing is more than enough Rich! More than enough!!"

When I looked at her, she's crying

"Don't cry Poriche..." sabi ko as I wiped her tears

"Don't leave me tsuma..."

"Hay. Kahit ano namang pilit ko sa sarili ko hindi naman kita maiiwan eh. Ikaw lang naman rason bakit ako nagsstay. Mahal na mahal kita eh."

"Sorry. I'm sorry. Y-you're more than enough for me Rich I'm sorry. Wag kang aalis please. Please"

"Nasaktan lang ako. Nadismaya. I don't know how to show it anymore. Hindi ko na alam ano pa kailangan kong gawin para mapakita sayong totoong mahal kita. Nauubos din ako Poriche"

"Sorry nagpadala ako kay Joey. Sorry"

"Tama na nga yan. Wag ka na umiyak. Wag ka na magsorry. Lalo lang bumibigat pakiramdam ko eh"

"H-ha?"

Humarap ako sa kanya then I pinched her nose before smiling at her

"I can't even last a day hating you. Napakadaya mo. Haha" i laughed. Hindi ko talaga matiis tong babaeng to kahit kailan

She's just quiet beside me staring at me

"What? Haha" sabi ko

"A-are we okay now?"

"Matitiis ba kita? Tsk. Tama na iyak!" Sabi ko wiping her tears pero lalo siyang umiyak before she hugged me

"Tsumaaaaaaa 😭"

"Ano Pororo? Tahan na sabi! Tsk!" I hugged her and caressed her back to calm her down

"Tsumaaaa ☹️"

"What?" Napailing na lang ako sa ginagawa niya

"I love you. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry"

"Apology accepted. I love you too." Sabi ko as I kissed her forehead.

I was literally trying to resist her but yeah I obviously can't. Mahal ko eh

Tumingin naman siya saken at medyo lumayo.

"Hmm?" Sabi ko kasi nakatingin lang siya saken eh

I was shocked when she pouted at parang paiyak na naman

"Hey? Bakit?"

Umiling lang siya before speaking "akala ko kasi hindi kita mapipigilan umalis ehh. Akala ko... akala ko maiiwan na talaga ako dito ☹️"

"Supposedly" sabi ko

"H-ha?"

"Aalis naman talaga dapat ako ehh. Kung hindi na ko kailangan dito bakit pa ko magsstay di ba?"

"Aalis ka pa rin?" I saw her biting her lips damn I could kiss her right now

"Do you want me to?"

Di ko mapigilang mapangiti with the way she opposed it. Todong todo pagkailing niya saken haha

I held her face close before telling her "then I won't. Just make sure to keep me sane. Then I'll never go"

She nodded afterwards at di ko na napigilan ang sarili ko. I leaned a little more closer and kissed her lips. I saw her shocked expression but I ignored it and savored the moment.
