"Kris"
"Bernadette please answer the call kahit 1 minute lang, I just need to hear your voice"
"I miss you"

Those were the notifications and messages in her phone, shocked with the messages Herbert has sent to her. It's been a long time that she received this kind of messages from him, she knows he is drunk and she gkt used to it because he is always like that, sending her "drunk messages" about what he really feels for her.. Since he is more of an action person, atleast on their relationship, thats why there are lots of time that she ia asking him if he really do love her because he rarely says "I love you and I miss you" to her.. whenever she is asking him to say i love you to her he always replied with "Alam mo naman na yun, nararamdaman mo naman diba?" Or he will kiss her instead, because for him you cannot just say those three words, just because she asked him.

Picking fights May of 2014

"Bakit nga ba ako magtataka kung hindi ka makapagsalita about our relationship? Eh ni hindi ka nga makapag "I love you" sa akin eh, ieexpect ko pa ba na ipagsisigawan mo ko sa buong mundo?"

"Kristina"

"Why? Totoo naman eh" shes in the verge of crying but too stubborn to even let one tear fell from her eyes..
"I hate this Herbert, it felt like ako lang yung nagmamahal, ako lang yung willing to take the risk, and i am willing to fight for you, but you are not for me"

"Kristina, alam mong hindi yan totoo, i am willing to fight for us too, kubg pwede nga lang na ipagsigawan ko sa buong mundo na akin ka na eh matagal ko ng ginawa, but we have to consider tons of things, its election period, and you know that, ayokong isipin nila na political tactics tong relationship natin, Ayokong masaktan ka, ayokong masira kung ano man yung mga plano natin in the future, ayokong pagpiyestahan ka nila because of me, not because i cant say it to the world eh hindi kita talaga mahal, and not because I am not saying "I love you" more often doesnt mean na i dont feel that, naniniwala kasi ako na sasabihin ko lang yan kapag nararamdaman ko talaga na at that moment, pero not because you asked me that means i have to comply, no you cannot take for granted the word I love you, just to show people na mahal kita, kasi mahal naman kita eh bali baligtarin mo man ang mundo mahal kita, kahit di ko yun  palaging sinasabi, I make it a point naman na maramdaman mo na talagang mahal na mahal kita magkasama man tayo o hindi"

That left Kris in silent, she realized that she is wrong for accusing him that he does not love her because of what happened and because he is not what she is expecting him to be, she realized if she really wants him to be in her life she has to compromise, she has to embrace his characteristics, him being not showy of what he really feels, and not being "hopeless romantic" as she is.. she just stared at Herbert after his statement and just nod.

Herbert held her hand and make her face him, he reached for her chin and searched for her eyes, "Mahal na mahal kita, nasasaktan ako pag iniisip mo na hindi. kasi hindi totoo yun"
She hugged him while crying "Im sorry" he pulled her to him tighter, hands in her hair and kiss her cheeks.

Present day

She ignored the messages and missed calls, she has a lot of things to do, she has to finish the pending Samsung ad that they wasnt able to finish because of her health issues.

"Done na madam" Jonathan says after he reviewed the video, "for upload na lang po by 6PM"

"Thank you everyone, thank you Bimb for helping Momma to finish this campaign"

"Always Momma, I love you, you can read books or watch na para ma relax come on"

"Yes anak thank you"

"I'll go ahead na, everyone thank you so much, Alvin and Jonathan kayo na muna bahala dyan, i'll rest lang ha.. bye thank you"

Its 5:00 in the afternoon she decided watch her favorite vloggers "The Brits" when her phone lit for a new message from SmartHB
She opened the message:
"Bernadette, Im sorry kagabi, whatever i said lahat yun totoo"
After reading she put the phone down again, and again it rings SmartHB calling....
