Chapter 28

"Why is she here?" Medyo pagalit kong tanong nang makapasok ako kami sa kwarto niya. He looked so problematic. Ilang beses niyang sinuklay ang buhok niya palikod bago siya tumingin sa akin.

"I don't know, Fayre. Please. Don't argue with me now. Pinaalis ko na siya, di'ba? Huwag mo na akong awayin. I'm exhausted."

I let out a harsh breath. "You're exhausted now because you saw her? Ganoon ba? That's her for you? Just a glance at her at napapagod ka bigla?"

"Fayre.." Lumapit siya sa akin at hinawakan ang kamay ko. Hinila ko 'yon sa kaniya. He was shocked because of what I did. Parang may kung anong takot sa mga mata niya.

"Not like this, please? Napagod lang talaga ako sa biyahe. Can we rest for now?" Muli niyang hinawakan ang kamay ko at hinila ako para yakapin. I felt how tight his hug were. Like he didn't want to let go of me.

"Please.. Hug me back.." Levi whispered against my hair. He sound like he's pained. Hindi ko maiwasan na maramdaman ang kirot sa dibdib ko. Why does he sound like that? Is it because of her? Does she still affect Levi?

God. I hope not. Iniisip ko pa lang ay para kong sinasakal ang sarili ko. I'm overthinking so much. Why does it feel like this? Hindi ako makahinga ng maayos.

"Baby.." Levi's voice cracked. I didn't hug him back. I didn't like the tone of his voice. Hindi ganito ang pakiramdam ko kapag tinatawag niya ako sa endearment namin. Dati, I would feel butterflies in my stomach pero ngayon.. I felt nothing but cold.

"Take a shower and rest. Magpapahinga na din ako." I said with finality in my voice. Tinulak ko siya para kumawala sa yakap pero nanatili pa ring nakaikot ang mga kamay niya sa akin.

"Levi." I warned him. Tinulak ko ulit siya pero mas lalong humigpit ang yakap niya.

"No, baby... Sleep here.."

"Ayoko." Not like this. I don't want to sleep beside him if I'm feeling so much pain right now. I'm barely calm right now.

"Please. I can't sleep if you aren't here."

I sighed heavily. In defeat. Kahit ayoko, pumayag na lang ako. Parang pinipiga ang puso ko habang humihigpit ang yakap niya.

I always feel comfort when he's hugging me pero ngayon bakit hindi? I feel nothing but pain.

"Thank you. I love you,"

Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig. My heart even skipped a beat. I'm sure of what I heard. He clearly said it. Dapat ay matuwa ako di'ba? He already said it just like I wished for.

But why does it feel so wrong?

Ginamit ko ang buong lakas ko para lang maitulak siya. He got startled with me kaya nanlaki ang mata niya sa ginawa ko. His eyes were so transparent that I saw how he was so pained. Hindi ko alam kung saan at ayoko nang malaman.

"We will talk later, okay?" Sabi niya na mapupungay ang mga mata. He suddenly look so tired. Magulo ang buhok niya dahil sa paulit ulit niyang pagsuklay kanina.

"Okay." I nodded

He tilted his head to kiss me on the lips. Matagal bago siya humiwalay. I just stood there as he kissed me. I didn't respond. He sighed.

He took a shower first before pulling me right next to him on the bed. Nakatalikod ako sa kaniya habanag nakayakap siya sa akin. His arms are draped on stomach tightly and his legs were above mine. Hinila niya pa ako papalapit sa kaniya hanggang sa wala ng space sa gitna namin. I wanted to push him away but I didn't. I saw how exhausted his eyes were earlier. Kahit hindi ako makahinga, hinayaan ko na lang.
