"Baby, what else do you want again?" Augustus tried to plaster a smile even though he already seems so tired.

Kanina pa kasi ako utos ng utos ng mga gusto kong kainin. I wouldn't stop eating! At isa pa, gusto ko rin naman para malusog ang magiging anak namin.

"Huwag na nga! Galit ka naman," tinalikuran ko siya at handa na sanang umakyat pataas sa mansion para pumasok sa loob pero naramdaman ko kaagad ang maingat na maingat niyang yakap.

"I will never get tired of your demands," he whispered and kissed me on my head.

"You seems tired!"

"I am not!" He chuckled and made me turn to him. Sinalubong ako ng madidilim niyang mga mata at ng isang matamis na ngiti.

"Let's just enjoy the sunset, okay?" dinampian niya ako ng halik na nagtagal ng ilang segundo. Funny how he loves watching sunset right now.

Siguro nga ay pagod na talaga siya. Gusto ko lang naman kumain ng ice cream na mayroong  pasta. I am suddenly craving for it. I wanna know how do it tastes like. It's my curiousity again that keep on giving him a hard time.

Habang tinatangay niya ako papunta sa dabing dagat, hindi ko mapigilang humanga sa kagandahan ng features niya. Alam kong hindi lang 'to ang dahilan kung bakit ko siya minahal. I love his as him. Him as ruthless, him as secretive, him as possessive and even him as mystery. There are many reasons to fall in love with someone, and some of those you would not know. They will remain unnamed.

Inalalayan niya akong maka-upo sa isang bench, sa harap ng dagat. Ipinatong niya rin ang coat niya saakin dahil malamig ang buga ng hangin. I am just wearing a maxi dress right now so I can really feel the coldness. It's bearable, though.

I was playing with the water using my feet while he's just staring at what I'm doing. Kapag susugod ang tubig ay ibababa ko ang paa ko pero itataas kapag malapit na. I chuckled and he chuckled, too. Inakbayan niya ako.

"You know why I was so afraid to witness sunsets before?" dahil sa sinabi niyang 'yon ay mabilis kong nilipat ang atensyon ko sakaniya.

Ang ekspresyon niya ngayon Ay malayo sa masayang tono ng tawa niya kanina. Why do things change easily?

He's serious but his eyes are kind of twinkling because of the reflection of the water and a little bit mixture of sadness. Pero iba ang pinapakita ng mga labi niya. Pilit siyang ngumingiti. Nilalabanan ang lungkot na pwede niya namang ipakita saakin. Pero ayaw ko siyang pilitin.

"My grandmother died during sunset with me alone. I felt so useless. I wasn't able to lengthen her life. I wasn't able to bring her to the hospital," his eyes turned bloodshot.

This is the story behind him and his fear of sunset. I want to butt in, but I chose to remain silent as a sign of respect to his past telling. I want to tell him we couldn't lengthen someone's life if death is already meant for her or him. Maybe someone will say doctors can. It's because it wasn't their time yet that's why there's a lengthening of life happened. They were meant to be revived or cured for a reason. So it will never be someone's fault if someone has died naturally. Unless it's murder.

"She asked me if I can spend time with her during sunset. I was already feeling something strange that time, but I chose to avoid my presentiments just to grant her wish,"

His rasp whispers scattered with despondency.

I can't blame him. Sometimes, we do things out of our will just to grant our love one's demands. Mas mahirap kasing sundin ang gusto mong gawin kumpara sa gustong ipagawa ng mahal mo. I don't know if it's a fact or just a trivia, but I already experienced being in that position.
