Unexpectedly Falling For You

61

David was holding Aika's hand.
Tightly, his fingers intertwined hers.
.
.
.
He was ready.

He was ready to let her choose.

David, scared but longing asked her,

Holding her hands. Asking for a chance as he said.

David: Aika, I love you.

------------------------
Before the scene: Robredo's Hotel Room

Caesar and Cedrick went to Tricia to get his hand treated. Aika and David was with Tricia.

As Aika saw his hand bleeding, the horror of what happened before kept replaying in her mind.

She was worried and David saw it. It was like she was willing to suffer the pain for him.

He clenched his fist. Why???? He asked himself.

Why could he not made her do the same for him?

Aika immediately went to Caesar's side, holding his bleeding hand and calling Tricia.

Aika: Trish dalian mo.

Tricia immediately offered treatment. As she was doing this, Aika asked him.

Aika: Caesar, what happened?

Caesar didn't speak. He looked down.

Aika: Look at me.

Aika told him. He slowly looked up, seeing her eye to eye.

Her eyes, it was on the verge of crying.

Caesar: Aika...

Aika hugged him. She was scared. Was it happening all over again. Was she about to sacrifice again.

Was she gonna lose him all over again?

Aika: Caesar, please tell me. Please.

Ayoko...

Ayokong mawala ka ulit.

It killed me losing you the first time.

Caesar, please, I don't know if I could handle it for the second time.

She said as her head laying down on his shoulder.

She began crying, remembering everything that happened in their past.

Caesar looked at Cedrick.

Cedrick understood.

Cedrick: Let's give them a moment.

After, Tricia finished dressing his wound. The three left them alone.

Caesar: Aika.

He called her caressing her as she was crying on his shoulder.

Caesar: Hon, look at me.

Aika slowly looked at him. Her eyes wanted to know what will happen. Would he leave or would he stay?

Caesar knew he had to tell her.
Even if it hurts. He had to be honest.

He had to tell her.

Caesar: Aika, I'm getting married.

Aika lost her strength as he said this to her.

She knew he was engaged. She knew this would happen but for some reason, she wanted to be the girl he would marry.

Aika: I knew when I still chose you for the second time, I would get hurt.
