my face turned pale. No, this is not possible. His kidding me, pinaglalaruan nya lang ako sa mga biro nya.
“Bern, i know it's..it's hard for you to believe, but...It's really me, I had an accident when I was in the states while on my way home...It's..shit!” He seems really hurt while telling me those words.
I still don't know if nag sisink in sa isip ko lahat. Kung naabsorb ba ng utak ko ang mga sinasabi ko. Three years, three damn years na pinaniwala ko ang sarili ko na hindi nya ako totoong minahal.
I didn't even heard the door was opened. It was trisha.
I looked at her with questions in my eyes, I think she already knew where our conversation is heading.
“ He had an amnesia,” and he hand me a newspaper, Times, it is a picture of a total wrecked vehicle. Nobody in that vehicle could be alive.
“It was really a miracle bern, he need to undergo plastic surgery, he cant remember everything, The surgeon needs to treat him so he decided to give him a new face since no one can identify him. A new face, a new name, a new environment. It was late last year that we found out that he was robed by 2 men and they also had a tragic accident, the things found in one of them where actually den's things that is why his concluded it was him who died in there.” It was just last year also that his memory came back. He try to contact his parents and tell them the whole story. It was just this year that I find out the truth bern, Im sorry.” She's crying in front of me.
I'm stuck. I cant even breathe. I'm just looking at his face. They are so many things that are the same except for the appearance. I was mad at him, so bad that I even curse him. And my tears began to fall.
“ I need to go.” I said in between sobs.
“Bern, please--” she was cut by Den.
“It's ok trish, no need to rush, let her go.” He looked at me.
“I'm sorry If didn't came back after two years...but believe me, i tried, I really tried.” he said sincerely.
I left them without any word. I can't speak. How can I, I curse him na sana mamatay na sya noon dahil niloko nya ako, I curse him to go to hell. Gad, muntik na sya mamatay dahil sa akin.
I try to return to my office pero hindi na bumalik sa dati yung sigla ko. I so exhausted.

Den's POV
“What is your plan?” trisha asked me.
“Are you just going to look at her everyday in that cctv?”
Yes, nagpalagay ako ng cctv without her consent. I know it's not proper, but I just want to see her face every single minute. I missed here terribly and this is the only way to be with her.
“ I don't want to rush her trish, This is a bomb for her. I know ive hurted her before, but I can see she's in pained more now that she found out the truth.”
“Ok, just hope everything turns out good for the both of you.” she shrugged.
Hindi ko din alam if tama ba ang naging decision ko. Ayoko na kasi syang lokohin pa. She doesn't deserve any lies anymore.
“Gotta go” she waved me good bye.
“Thanks bhes!”
“Momantai”
I was looking at her at my tab when my phone suddenly rings. I saw her. It was her.
“He-hello” Gag! Why im shattering!.
“Hi...it's me, bern.. A.. About a while ago, sir im sorry.” she seem tensed
I Cant help but smile coz i can really see her biting her nails.
“Stop biting your nails baby.” I said smilingly
Her eyes turned big.
“How did you know?! Do you have a spy camera in my office???!!!'” she said shouting on me over the phone.
“Hahahaha, of course not, I can hear it you know” I said teasing her.
“Ugghh, ok fine. If you are really denver, and you truly remember everything, tell me how me met.” she asked while playing with her ballpen.
“Hmmmmm, we met at school, you where drown at me me, and when i said drown it is as if you re my stalker huh?” I tease her.
“wow ha yabang mo!” fine so patay na patay ako sayo.
“ I was really mad at you first kasi you flirted with every guy in the campus, of course I hate it coz I only want you to flirt no one but me.” I smile while telling her and looking at her intently in the screen.
“Tahimik.kinikilig ka noh?hahaha”
“of course not.” I can see her face turn red.
“When is our anniversary?”she asked.
“ On your birthday, October 18, when I decided to say yes after your 2 weeks of courtship.”
She suddenly keep quiet and I can see that her tears are flowing.
“Baby?” I tried to ask casually.
“Alam mo ba na na simumpa kita noon? Alam mo ba na sinabi ko na sana mamatay ka na kasi iniwan mo ako sa ere?
“Ako yung may kasalanan kung bakit ka naaksidente denver. I hate myself!” He turned off the mobile.
I ran as fast as I could to be in her office.
I hugged her back and calm her.
“It's not your fault baby, It was an accident. I know your are just mad that time. I deserved that, I hurted you baby. Im so sorry.” I can't help but cry.
I felt really home in her arms.
“I love you. I'm back and I will never leave you again” I promised her while wipping her tears.
