Somewhere Down The Road

"I'm so in love with you,and I hope you know"

December 16.

We are already home,I call and text him right away. But still no any respons from him. Once we arrived at home,I just change my clothes and head my way to his office. We arrived at Makati around 10AM,I texted Alice also that I'll be going there when we are still on the road. Alice and Herbert's Personal Guard welcomed me at the lobby,I can hear people gossiping about us

"Nakauwi na pala siya,baka tatapusin na nila yung palabas nila"

"Bakit kaya pumayag ng ganun si Sir?"

A lot of unreal gossip are surronding her while she is in her way to the elevator.

Alice: Ms. Kris,As of now nasa meeting po siya. Pero I think matatapos na din po any minute,then the whole day is free na rin po for Sir Herbert

Kris:Okay,thank you so much Alice. If ever may dumating na media,please paalisin mo,I'm sure may dadating kasi I am not giving any word to them, I wanna fix first betwen me and Herbert before I face them

Alice:Noted,Ms. Kris

When they reached his floor,she wait for him in his office. After 10 minutes of gazing blanky at the window,she heard the door open and close. Herbert go directly at his table,put his things. They are now staring at each other,standing.No one has the urge to speak up. Tears are slowly forming in Kris's eyes

Herbert:So..What's now Kris? (He said with no emotions can be seen in his eyes) Magtitigan na lang ba tayo dito? (he smirk) Kung tatanungin mo kung bakit di kita kinausap (he turned away) Kasi baka may masabi akong masakit sayo,alam mo namang ayoko kitang nasasaktan. I always read your messages,controlling myself not to reply. Explain it all to me right now,I will listen.

Kris is already crying,she hugged him from behind,Herbert can hear her sobs. Stopping his self to melt,for her to explain first

Kris:We are at the Bryant Park nung nakasalubong namin si James,Ate invited her to join us. Lara naman makabonding daw siya nung dalawa. We are having fun,I am happy that him and Bimb had a chance to bond again,Kasi sabi ko naman sayo,1 month nang hindi nagkikita sila. When we are about to parted our ways,Ate ask us to take a photo,Alam mo naman ako,may pag ka-careless lalo pag I am too happy. When you messaged me,I though ganun yung reply mo kasi baka bad mood ka or pagod sa work. Till I woke up the next day,shocked by their comments. That time ko lang na-notice that James are touchy at all of our pictures. I tried to call you but it's either di ka sasagot or naka off ang phone mo. I always text you,hoping na mag reply ka,but neither once,you didn't but it's okay,I am here already (She cry in his back)

Herbert:Alam mo ba nung nakita ko yun.....Di ko alam reaction ko. Magagalit ba ako sayo or what. Nag text lang ako sayo then that's it. Sabi ko di muna kita kakausapin kasi ayoko may masabi akong pagsisisihan ko,and sabi ko uuwi ka naman. Nasaktan ako aaminin ko 'yon(she hug him more tight) Kasi 'di mo nga sinabi sakin na andun siya,tas kung makahawak at makalapit sayo kala mo linta. Matagal din kayong nagsama,mas madami pa rin kayong pinagsamahan kesa sa atin. Yung mga bata,oo di ko maalis yung mga memories nila kasama yun,wala ako sa posisyon. Pero sana respetuhin niya naman ako at ikaw,kung anong meron tayo. Ikaw na din nagsabi na minsan natawag yan sayo ng lasing,sinasabing bumalik kana sakanya,pano kung mas gusto siya ng mga bata para sayo? Iiwan mo ako,kasi diba sabi natin,para sa mga anak natin gagawin natin lahat. Pano kung sabihin nila na bumalik kana kay James? Iiwan mo ba ako? Kasi ako Kris, hindi ko na makita yung future ko without you,you've completed me,you added Joy to my world,I can't affort to lose you,pero kung mangyari man na mas gusto si James ng mga anak mo,handa akong pakawalan ka,Kahit masakit

Kris are hardly crying while Herbert silently crying too

Herbert:Hindi ko kayang mawala ka pa sakin Kris,hindi ko na kayang pagdaanan muli yung nangyari sakin dati nung nawala ka

Kris: I can't too Babe (she said nochalantly) 

Herbert slowly face and hug her. Kris cried more in his shoulder,regretting how careless she was. She can't handle how painful it is for Herbert. He rub her back,trying to calm her down.

Herbert:Tahan na love (Cupped her cheeks) I love you

Kris:I love you too 

After 2 long week,their world collide again.A kiss that will sealed their tears. Longing for each others lip,hug and physical presence. They both feel HOME.

After of almost 2 hours,they head way down to go Home. Media are in under control,He is protecting her from the crowd,blocking people with his two arms. They immediately leave the office when they reach her van. They just decided to talk to Herbert's house,because there is no kids that may hear them. Kris take a nap while leaning at his shoulder, Exhausted from their emotional session at his office. They reach his house after just one and half hour

Herbert: Kris,gising na. Dito na tayo

Kris:Why Kris? Ayaw mo na ba sa love? (Doing pa-cute)

Herbert:Hay nako ka Kristina (chuckle) Dyan mo ako dinadaan e',sa pag papacute mo

Kris:Is it my fault na nacu-cutetan ka sakin? Don't call me "Kris" na babe,Ang creepy (she giggle)

Herbert:Fine fine, Let's go inside na

They eat lunch first before going to his room,good thing,Kris already have cloths in his closet. While Kris is taking a bath in his room,He is also in Harvey's room. Harvey is in out of town,already a week ago,o it's just the two of them. Kris is in the vanity when Herbert came in,drying his hair with his towel

Kris: San ka naligo Babe?Di mo nalang ako hinintay

Herbert:Sa kwarto ni Harvey. Okay lang yun,sayang din naman kasi oras

Kris:Okay

Herbert already lounge at his bed,waiting for her to finish drying her hair. Kris also joined him as soon her hair got dried.

Kris:I am sorry again,Babe

Herbert: It's okay, It's not your fault naman e'

Kris:But I still hurt you

Herbert: I love you too much,always remember that

Kris:I love you too babe

Herbert:Can you stay overnight love?

Kris:Yan,love na ulit tawag mo sakin. Oo naman

Herbert: Hindi ba magagalit si Bimby?

Kris:Bago ako umalis sa house kanina,I say to him na I might stay here overnight,and he said na it's okay

Herbert:I miss you (making siksik) it's two weeks of hell baby

Kris:Babe! New endearment again?

Herbert: Yes,my Baby (smack her lips)

Kris:I will isip na rin,You are pauso e'

Herbert: (laugh) Di ah (yawn)

Kris:Antok ka na babe? (Rubbing his back while prisoned him at her arms)

Herbet:Yes (hug her tight and snuggle ber more)

Kris:You sleep na (fixing his hair) I will always love you,I am just yours (She whispered, Reassuring him)

Herbert:I'm yours to my baby,always (whispered back and kiss her cheek)

They both fell asleep in that position,no one dare to move.

"I'm so in love with you,And I hope you know. Darling,hour love is more than worth its weight in gold.We've come so far,my dear,Look how we've grown. And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old. Just say you won't let go"
