Rich's PoV

I was shocked when someone hit my back pero paglingon ko nawala din yun agad. Pero nung narinig ko yung boses nung nagsalita, I looked at that direction immediately and I know even when she's not facing me, that's her. That's my Pororo.

"Pororo?" I called her

"Hala nagsalita yung poste maaaa wag ka titingin hanapin mo boypren mo hoo!! Jetlag yan jetlag tsuma nasan ka na baaaa?"

I can't help but laugh on the way she behaves right now. Makita ko lang talaga tong babaeng to wala na lahat 😅

"Poriche Malabanan nasa likod mo ko"

"Hala kilala ako maaa makaalis na nga!"

"Hey! Tsk! Pororo ano ba sabing andito ako!" Sabi ko at hinigit ko na siya sa braso paharap saken

"T-tsuma?"

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"

"K-kase ano"

"What? Kung di ka magsasalita mauuna na ko may trabaho pa ko" binitawan ko na siya sa braso

"S-sorry!"

"Sorry for what?"

"Kasi ano..." she bit her lip before speaking continuously "kasiangtangako.Kasiangmanhidko.Kasinagalitkasaken.Kasikinaibigankoparinexko.Kasibobogirlfriendmo.Sorrykasifeelingmowalaka lnanamanhalaga.Sorrysalahat.Sorrytsuma..."

"Wait what? I didn't understand a single word Poriche. Huminga ka nga"

"Sorry tsuma... sorry kasi ang tanga ko. Sorry kasi for the second time around I made you feel less of yourself. Sorry kasi kahit na pinapakita mo na saken yung nararamdaman mo hindi ko makita. Sorry ang bobo ko" she looked down and played with her nails.

"Bakit ka nagpunta dito Pororo?"

"I want to say sorry"

"Pwede mo naman itawag? Pwede mo naman ichat?"

"Gusto ko sa personal. So I can show you how sincere I am this time"

"Akala ko ba wala kang visa?"

"Nag-apply na ko agad. Umutang muna ako kay kuya ng pambayad pati pamasahe. G-gusto na kasi kita makita"

"Pano yung ex mo?"

"Wala na! Promise! I don't talk to him anymore! Not ever again! Tsuma..."

I saw that she's about to cry. I sighed before pulling her close to hug her

"I missed you Pororo"

"Sorry... sorry... ang bobo bobo ko sorry. Ang manhid manhid ko pagdating sayo. Sorry Rich. Sorry"

"Shhh" I caressed her back "stop crying Pororo"

"I'm sorry"

"Tama na sorry." Medyo kumalas ako sa kanya "kita mo yan tulo na sipon mo oh!" Kinuha ko yung tshirt ko saka pinunasan yung luha saka sipon niya

"Rich..."

"You love me right?"

She nodded like a kid that made me smile

"Your ex?"

Umiling naman siya this time

"Tama na iyak mamamaga mata mo niyan eh tsk"

"Sorry..."

"Stop saying sorry Pororo. May kasalanan din naman ako. I just needed this time to think on my own maybe. Ikaw pa rin naman mahal ko. Di naman nagbago yun"

"Tsuma..."

"Ano?"

"Galit ka pa rin ba?"

"Mag-iinarte pa ba ko ehh inutang mo pa sa kapatid mong kuripot yung pagpunta mo dito"

"H-ha?"

"Tama na nga yan. Lika sa bahay. Dun ka muna. Malelate na ko sa trabaho ko"

"Galit ka pa?"

"Tsk."I held her cheeks and pinched them both."Hindi na nga"

Hinawakan ko na kamay niya to bring her home pero di siya gumagalaw

"I love you..."

"And I love you more. Tara na"
