Myrah's P.O.V.
He was leaning on his elbows, crouched down and his face covered.
Tahimik akong lumapit sa kanya but when he heard my foot steps, he looked up at me and our eyes met.
He had a glint in his eyes that was never there before. He seemed..... off.
Tumayo siya and he looked at me with a cold and distant expression.
I managed a smile as if nothing pierced through my heart. "Hey Kieth."
Tumango lang siya and said, "Hey."
Hindi ko siya pinagsalita at inunahan ko siya, "Umm... about last night. Bakit hindi ka dumating?"
I asked him with sorrowful eyes pero nakangiti pa rin.
Magsasalita na sana siya pero hindi ko na siya hinayaan. Wala akong balak na marinig ang kung ano man ang lalabas sa bibig na yan.
"I know! May emergency lang diba? O may importante ka lang inasikaso? It's fine. Naiintindihan ko naman." - I said cheerfully.
"Myrah I --- " - he started pero pinatuloy ko ang pagsasalita ko.
"At tsaka nga pala. Hindi ko alam kung nakita mo na ang litrato o dinelete na ni Aliyah sa phone mo pero may sinend pala siyang picture. Nakahubad kayo at nakahiga sa kama." - huminto muna ako dahil nararamdaman ko na nanginginig na ang boses ko.
"Alam ko." - ang sinabi niya sa oras na huminto ako.
"Ah alam mo?" - the tip of my eyes burned. "Hindi yun totoo diba? Friname-up ka lang niya o finotoshop lang yun?" - I wanted to sound cheery but all I heard was the cracking of my voice.
I saw him bite his lip na parang kinokontrol niya ang panginginig nito but it could just be my eyes playing tricks.
"Totoo yun Myrah." - inamin niya.
Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko at may isang luhang nakalabas. "Ah... ganun ba?" - I fought up a response.
"At least naggamit kayo ng protection?" - I tried to laugh bit at the end of the last word, more tears came down.
He was staring at me but for a moment, I saw his fist balled up and then it wasn't. Is it just my tears or naghahalucinate ako?
"Look Myrah --- " - he started but I immediately cut him off.
"It's okay Kieth! We all make mistakes! No need to say sorry. I already forgave you. Mahal kita diba? We can work things out." - I gave him a reassuring smile.
"No, Myr---" - he once again opened his mouth and I interfered.
"Ah. Nga pala, may sasabihin pala ako tungkol sa history ng pamilya natin." - I stopped myself from crying pero nanginginig pa rin ang boses ko.
For a second, his breathing hitched at the mention of our families but it was back to normal in a snap.
"I know." - he breathed out.
"Dad mo?" - I asked.
He nodded.
"Then hindi totoo na ginagamit mo lang ako para masaktan ang pamilya ko diba?" - I asked him with a broken smile . "You stayed with me because you love me right?" - tinanong ko.
