UNEXPECTED EXCHANGE (completed)

CHAPTER 40

Bryan's POV.

We're already at my condo, I see her fixing all her stuff inside my closet.

I ask her earlier what happened but what thing she just said to me it didn't went well. I really want to ask more about what happened when she saw Kent but it feels like she don't want to talk about it.

"Sweetheart you really ok?" She look at me with weary eyes, and she nods and give me a force smile. "What you wanna eat?"

"I want sweet adobo."

I smiled when she said that 'cause I know for a fact she feels uncomfortable and she wants her comfort food. Tumayo ako and I kissed her forehead, "I'll cook it for you." Before I went down to the kitchen and cook the sweetest adobo for her.

~~~

Until I see myself wearing clothes inside the bathroom, I just finished taking a bath. Sumunod ako pagkatapos ni Alyssa maligo, when I went out to the bathroom I couldn't see her. I barely went down in the stairs a but to look for her down but I can't see her.

Pero ng bumalik ako sa kwarto ko I see a woman standing at the balcony outside, yakap-yakap niya ang sarili niya sa labas I know it's cold outside in the hour. I swiped the glass door and stepped to the balcony bigla siyang nagpunas ng luha niya.

Nakatalikod paman din siya I still know that she's crying, I hug her behind and kissed her nape and shoulder. Hindi ako nagsalita at niyakap kolang siya sa likod ng mahigpit and just looking to the scenery view up high here. We can see the whole city here, since this is the biggest condominium in town.

Hinaplos niya ang braso ko, "let's go inside it's cold here." She said, but I know that she just wants to go inside kasi dumating nako at ayaw niyang makita ko siyang ganto. "Sweetheart it's ok, it's fine, I know that you're in pain right now. I will not force you to tell me or not I don't care 'cause what matters for me is that I'm with you and I know that I can make you happy. We can forget all the problems we all have together as long as we stay each other's side."

I didn't hear her response but I know she heard me clear and absorb what I just said, may I can't take all the pain she's feeling right now. But I can remove it slowly not now but soon, I can assure her that and I will make sure of that.

"Do I deserve this?" I got confused by her question, I don't know what she's talking about but I'm just here at her back listening to all the things she wants to say. "Karma hits me so hard, I had mistake, yes, but do I really deserves this so much pain?"

I feel a tear touches my arm, I know it come from her eyes. If I could just remove the pain she's feeling and put it to me, I would definitely do that but unfortunately that's not possible.

"I just want to live my life peacefully with the people I love and cherish, but the heck? Universe played me so well. Even the unexpected thing happened, even the unexpected person never cross my mind would do those."

I lay my chin on her shoulder, I can vividly feel all the pain she's inside with her words? It feels like I'm in pain with her even though I didn't understand and I didn't know what she was saying.

When the sad feeling between us arise, it's a long silence swallowed us. Seconds later she invites me to go inside and it's getting late, she lay down on the bed. Tumabi ako sa kanya and I kissed her forehead, "Good night sweetie." I said before I turn off the light.

The awkwardness arose there's a safe distance between us, I don't know what to do. Hindi ito ang unang magkatabi kaming matulog pero parang ang awkward namin. Nang bigla siyang gumalaw at niyakap ako, a curve shape form on my lips. I hug her too and she sleep on my chest until I can no longer feel anything.
