Chapter 25

HERA'S POV

"How's your date with Dr. Enrique last night?" Zylu asked while looking at the wrist watch in front of him. "I'll take this,"

"Okay Sir," the salesman said.

"It's fine," I answered and he looked at me.

"May date ka ulit bukas ng gabi," sabi niya at kumunot naman ang noo ko.

"Kainino?" Tanong ko.

"Kay Terrence," sagot niya.

"Sir," tawag ng salesman kay Zylu at inabot ang paper bag.

Kinuha ito ni Zylu at inabot ang credit card niya.

"Thank you, comeback again."

Lumabas na kami ni Zylu sa shop at hinarap niya naman ako. Ngumiti ito sa akin at hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"You don't have to choose between Dr. Enrique and Terrence, if you're not ready to love again then don't. Don't force yourself because you might get hurt again," he said and kissed my hand. "And I don't want you to get hurt, I hate it when you're in pain Hera. I hate it when you are crying, promise me you'll never cry again once you've enter a relationship, okay?"

I nodded and he smiled at me.

"Because when I saw you cry again I won't hesitate to stole you from him, I will fight for you until my last breath," seryosong sabi niya.

"Do you... Still love me?" I asked and he nodded.

"I told you it'll never change, Hera. Even you're going to be happy with someone else, even I'm no longer by your side that time I will continue to love you." He said and I cried.

Why it can't be you, Zymon Luis?

"Why can't I teach my heart to love you back?" Wala sa sariling tanong ko at pinunasan niya ang luha ko.

"It because you're not ready to love again," he answered. "Or maybe you love someone else." He hugged me. "I won't let go, Hera. Don't pity me, it's my decision after all. I already told this when we're still in America."

Kumalas ako sa pagkayakap at hinarap niya ako, pinunasan niya ang luha ko't ngumiti ito. Inayos niya ang buhok ko't may kinuha ito sa loob ng coat niya.

It's an yellow acacia flower.

"Alam mo ibig sabihin niyan?" Tanong niya at umiling naman ako.

"What is it?" Tanong ko at inabot niya sa akin ang yellow acacia flower kaya't kinuha ko ito.

"It signifies the importance of true friendship and a hidden love could be implied." He force to smile.

"Zylu..."

"Look at the sky," sabi niya at tumingin ako sa kalangitan.

Maraming bituin ngayon at kitang-kita ang bilog na buwan. Napatingin ako sa Zylu at nakangiti ito sa akin. "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"

That line...

He always told me that since we were in High School and he told me the meaning after our graduation, and that's his confession! He told me that he loves me and he'll wait for me until we become successful.

"You complete me," I answered and he smiled.

"Alam mo na kung paano tumugon, no'ng High School kasi tayo binabara mo ako," we laughed. "I made you tacos." He pinch my nose. "Someday... We'll stop saying this words to each other,"
