Too soon, too late (Completed)

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I place a glass of juice infront of him.

"To talk to you."

"Bakit?" Taka kong tanong.

His face hardened as he averted his gaze from mine. Nabalot ng pagtataka ang sistema ko, may nagawa na naman ba akong mali?

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Anong hindi ko sinabi?"

"About that night.. that day.."

I gasped in shock as I look at him in an inquisitive way. Papaanong nalaman niya? I was hiding it for years..

"Your mother told me.."

Ah!! Mama naman, e!

"Ah, about that.." I nervously chuckled.

"Why didn't you told me? Kahit pa may banta.. I can handle myself Yna. Why did you sacrifice your safety just for me?"

A long silence envaded tha room. Mariin kong pinagdikit ang mga labi at ipinikit ang mga mata.

"Dahil mahal kita. Imagine how scared I felt that night. He was watching you, waiting for me to make a bad move to kill you. Halos mabaliw ako, Faris." I uttered, nearly crying.

"But still.."

"Tapos na, nangyari na. At kahit maulit pa, iyon at iyon pa rin ang gagawin ko." I firmly said that made his jaw clenched.

"I was fucking angry for years, when I should've been angry at myself." He hissed.

Hinakbang ko ang distansiyang nasa pagitan naming dalawa para sapuin ang natatalo at nagsisisi niyang mukha.

"It's fine. Kasalanan ko naman."

"I am a fucking useless boyfriend. Ni hindi kita nagawang protektahan.."

"I told you it's fine. Ayoko rin namang gawin mo iyon dahil malalagay sa alanganin ang buhay mo."

"Fuck!"

I shushed him before wrapping him on my embraced. I gently carressed his back as I felt him sobbing on my shoulder. Sumabay sa pagbagsak ng mga luha sa mga mata namin ang hindi mawaring pagtibok ng puso namin sa iisang ritmo.

"I miss you.. so fucking much that I feel like I am dreaming now." I whispered.

"I love you, Yna. Still and will love you still."
