*Chapter 16

Nath's POV

I touched her face...

It felt real. Please make it real.

I looked at her eyes...

They felt warm. Please make them real.

I touched her lips...

They still felt kissable. Please make them real.

I stroke my fingers to her hair...

They're silky like before. Please make them real.

 I clasp our hands...Each gap was filled. Each space was completed. They all felt real. I hope I'm not just on a dream.

I held her to my arms...

It felt so right.

There. IT FELT SO RIGHT. That's it. Only Erin can make me feel so right. Only her can erase all the doubts I have. And I don't have any doubts now. She's here. THIS IS REAL.

Niyakap ko ng mahigpit si babe. I don't care kung pinagtitinginan na kami ng ibang tao. I don't care kung kanina pa sila nagbubulungan sa eksena ko. Hindi nila ako naiintindihan.

"You're finally here." Nasabi ko na lang.

"Yeah. I'm back. I'm sorry for leaving you. I'm sorry that it took time for me to go back to you. I'm sorry for all the things I've done." Mahaba niyang sabi.

"Whatever happened I don't care. Nandito ka na. Wala na akong pakialam sa mga oras na wala ka. Ang mahalaga sa akin ngayon nandito ka na." Sagot ko naman.

"I.LOVE.YOU." Sabi niya sa akin.

I just smiled. How many times in the past that I dreamt of hearing those from her. How many times that the same words coming from that voice made me sad and lonely. How many times in the past that those three words killed me because she's not here to say them. But all of those are gone now.

"I love you too." Sagot ko.

Ilang beses ko na rin bang nasabi yun sa mga pictures niya, sa mga text, messages at kung anu-ano pa. Ilang libong beses na nga ba? Pero ngayon parang first time ko lang sinabi sa kanya na mahal ko siya.

Yung pakiramdam na sasabog yung puso ko dahil sa sobrang happiness, excitement, nervousness and love. Yung parang teenager na first time mainlove. Ganoon yung pakiramdam ko.

She smiled back at me. Hay. Ayun din yung ngiti niyang nakakapanglambot ng tuhod ko. Yung ngiting mahahawa ka dahil abot hanggang mata niya. Yung ngiti na alam kong para sa akin lang.

I cupped her cheecks then kissed her. I heard the people gasped but as I said, I DON'T CARE about their reactions.

"Hoy! Hindi ito motel!" Bulong sa amin ni Anne.

Erin giggled because of that. Parang nabuhayan naman ako ng dugo dahil narinig ko yun. Antagal na since I heard that. That genuine giggle. Yung ramdam na masaya talaga siya.

"At bakit antagal mo Erin? Akala ko bang mga 1pm nandito ka na? Anong oras na oh?! Buti hindi umalis itong asawa mo. Kanina pa yan badtrip." Singit naman ni Anne.

"Sorry. Nadelayed yung flight ko eh. Tapos antraffic pa papunta dito inabutan ako ng rush hour sa daan." Paliwanag ni Erin.

Kaya pala nakatrip ang mga ito. Pinagkaisahan ako.

"Hep! Alam niyong uuwi na siya at ako hindi?! Sino pa nakakaalam na uuwi kana?" Baling ko kay Erin.

"Mga parents natin at itong dalawang ito." Sagot niya.
