Falling for you

39

Vice's POV

It has been months since Ion and I became a couple. And like a normal couple like everyone else,our relationship isn't perfect. There are so many things that we discovered in each other,we discovered things together. We have changed a lot,grew a lot in each other's arms. Our love was just so pure,genuine and for me,just for me,our love was perfect. He gave everything to me,everything that I want,that I need. And I,I never looked to any other guy the same way I look at him. Ion made me into something more incredible,happy and an open person. He was more than I could ask for. We've been through bad and good things together,fighting for our relationship,remaining  inlove at each other even if things got hard at some point. I admit it,we really changed a lot. But our love for each other never changed. We fight too,just like any couples do. But that's normal,what's important is that we didn't  gave up understanding each other. Our relationship remained strong,happy and full of love until one day...that day... I can't forget that day that really really changed our lives. 

Flashback...

General

"Love ano ka ba?! Lasing na naman?! San ka ba galing ha? Ni kahit isang reply hindi mo ginawa! Pagkagising ko kaninang umaga,wala ka na! Pangatlong beses  ka ng umuuwi ng ganyan! Ano bang nangyayari sayo ha? May problema ba tayo? May nagawa ba 'kong mali? Love pag-usapan natin hindi yung aalis ka tapos pagbalik mo lasing na lasing ka!"

"Vice wa-wag ngay-yon. Pagod a-ako,b-bukas na tayo mag-usap."

Nanatiling kalmado si Ion habang kausap ang nobya. Naka-upo siya sa sofa at hindi man lang nililingon ang kausap.

"Bahala ka,bahala ka Ion." napasinghal na lang si Vice at napahawak sa batok at umakyat na sa kwarto. Pumasok siya sa banyo at doon hindu napigilan ang iyak. Mas lalong lumala ang mga iniisip niya. Napapadalas na ang pag-uwi ni Ion ng lasing na lasing. Napapadalas na rin ang pag-alis niya lagi nitong mga nakaraang araw. Bilang yung mga alis niya na alam ko at nagpapaalam siya sakin. Hindi naman ganon ang lalaki dati. Pero ang tanging tanong ni Vice,"Anong nangyayari?"

Vice's POV

Naramdaman ko na may mabigat na naka-patong sa bewang ko. Pero hindi ko na ito tiningnan dahil alam ko kung ano yon,ramdam ko kung ano yon. Hindi ko kailanman nakakalimutan ang yakap ni Ion,alam na alam ko ang bawat yakap niya. Ganon ko to talaga ka-mahal. At ganon-ganon na lang din ako kabilis magpatawad sa lalaking to. Mahal ko to,hindi ko na kaya pa na gumising ng hindi nararamdaman ang yakap niya,labi niya at ang...ang pagmamahal niya.

"Love?" narinig kong sabi ni Ion at mas hinigpitan ang yakap sa bewang ko. Hindi ako gumalaw,hindi ako nagsalita. Hinintay ko kung anong sunod niyang gagawin,sasabihin.

Tumulo ang luha ko ng maramdaman kong kumalas siya sa yakap niya sakin. Aalis na naman ba siya? Hindi ko na ulit mapigilan na hindi mag-overthink. Bakit? Ano? Paano? Napapikit na lang ako sa kaka-isip ng dahilan,paraan para matapos na tong sakit na nararamdaman ko. Pero bakit nga ba ako nasasaktan?

Ng may biglang humalik sa noo ko,I opened my eyes and saw him smiling at me. Seeing him lessened the pain that I'm feeling. Nakaluhod siya ngunit agad nawala ang ngiti niya ng makita akong lumuluha. "Love? Love what's wrong? May masakit ba? Bakit ka umiiyak?"

He's just too cute kapag nag-aalala. I quickly ran into him,hugged him tightly and continued crying. I felt him,felt his love. I felt safe in his arms. Hinarap niya ako at tinitigang mabuti. Then his face,it wasn't happy. I can see that he's not happy.

Tumayo siya,kinuha ang kamay ko at lumabas kami sa may balcony. "Love,I'm very,very sorry. Alam ko at kahit hindi mo sabihin,nakikita ko na nasasaktan na kita. Pero promise babawi na ako. Natauhan na ako,hindi na ulit mauulit to. Pangako yan Love." He kissed my hands and kissed my lips.

I smiled at him. All I can see is the love of my life,my one and only. And it never changed,I never changed the way I look at him. When I see his face,I feel like I'm just in a peaceful world full of love with him.

"Oo,nasasaktan din ako. Pero bakit pag nakikita kita,nawawala lahat yon? Alam mo ba yon ha? Alam mo bang mahal na mahal na mahal kita!" niyakap ko siya at parang ayoko ng kumalas dito. "I'm sorry,I'm so so sorry Love. Marami pa kong gagawing pag-bawi sayo. Marami pa kong pina-plano para sating dalawa. I want us to travel and see new things together. Ibibigay ko sayo lahat kapalit ng lahat ng pagmamahal na binibigay mo sakin. At alam ko na hindi na ako makakahanap pa ng katulad mo. Kaya no matter how hard it is,I won't give up on us. Naririnig mo ba ko? I will never ever give up. I'm not marrying or loving someone again if it ain't you my Love. Mamamatay akong mag-isa kesa sa mabuhay ng hindi ka kasama. Alam kong marami na ang nagsasabi nito pero hindi lahat natutupad. Pero pinapangako ko na isa ako sa mga taong tutupad ng mga salitang binibitawan niya. I'm not a perfect boyfriend but I will do my best for you. Hindi ako titigil na mahalin kahit dumating yung araw na hindi mo na ako mahal. We're gonna live our lives to the fullest. I love you and I will never stop loving you." I felt his words. I just love this man more than myself. He's my world and I , too , can't afford living a life without him.

We decided to go to the church. To refresh,to restart. Tumatalon yung puso ko habang magka-hawak kamay kami. Grabe,iba yung saya na nararamdaman ko ngayon. I think this is it! Wala akong ibang ipinagdasal sa Diyos na kaharap namin ngayon kundi ang makasama ko siya habang buhay.

Kalalabas lang namin ng simbahan when I saw a familiar face and I quickly realized who that person is. Nakaramdam ako ng kaba ng makita siyang may dala,may dala siyang baby. And then,she loooked at us. I saw the way she looked at Ion and returned her gaze on the baby. Looking at the both of us confused. Is--is this what I think it i--no. I'm overthinking again. Of course not.
