Eugenio Carlos or Gin is perfect. He is tall, handsome and he has money. He is the only son of Governor De Villa. And not to add he will inherit the throne of his father as governor someday.
But love is not the reason why she chose to be with him...
In the Mood for Love is a 2000 Hong Kong film directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung. The film premiered on 20 May 2000, at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival,[1][2] where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or.
The film's original Chinese title, meaning "the age of blossoms" or "the flowery years" – Chinese metaphor for the fleeting time of youth, beauty and love – derives from a song of the same name by Zhou Xuan from a 1946 film. The English title derives from the song, "I'm in the Mood for Love"
Gin's POV
I sighed as I looked at Bella na kanina pa walang kibo habang nagsusulat. As usual, andito kami sa library na mukhang naging paboritong tambayan ni Bella. Napasimangot ako. Paano ba naman, halatang umiiwas na magsolo kami! Sabagay, naiintindihan ko naman. I sighed. Nangalumbaba ako. Alam ko pa na may problema siya. I can;t help her. This is her own battle.
Ibinalik ko na nga lamang ang atensyon ko sa binabasa ko. Napasimangot na lamang ako dahil mas advanced pa dito ang napag aralan ko na sa HLS. Useless na ulitin ko pa ito. Kaso wala naman akong ibang magawa.
"You can leave me here, Gin and it's ok with me."
Napaangat ang tingin ko sa binabasa ko ng marinig ko ang sinabi niya. Nanatiling nasa sinusulat ang atensyon nito. Napaunat ako sa pagkakaupo ko.
"What?"
She looks at me. "I mean, you can go if you want to. I'll be fine."
Napakunot na talaga ang noo ko. "Are you fed up having me around?"
She looked at me. "I am sorry Gin but I can never be a good company to you right now."
Napatiim ang labi ko. "I know you are not feeling okay having your mom----."
Tinakpan nito ang magkabilang tenga. "Please! No more talks about her!" she almost scream. Natigilan ako. I put her hands away from her ear grimly.
"Walang ma so solve if you are going to be stubborn Isabella!" madiing sabi ko. I sighed as I saw her bewildered eyes na parang iiyak na. I easily check myself. I shouldn;t be so hard on her.
"I am sorry sweetheart," mababa na ang boses ko na agad na lumipat ng upuan sa tabi niya and kissed her forehead. "But I hate seeing you like this. It is tearing me apart," I said in an agonized voice.
She just closed her eyes. "Please Gin. Ayoko muna siyang isipin. Please," parang bata itong umiyak.
My heart is being ripped apart. I held her closer. I held her firmly until I felt her whole body is shaking in pain and anguish. "Hush, sweetheart. I am just here."
I looked at the ceiling wearily. Hindi ko din kasi alam paano ko tutulungan si Bella. This is something I shouldn;t meddle with.
Pauwi na kami ng hapon na yon ng banggitin ko uli ang dinner sa mansion. She simply nodded. I told her it will be okay if hindi na lamang ito pumunta. Making me remember the time she was embarrassed by my family. Kaya hindi ko alam kung ano na naman ang drama ng akingPapa at ng lolo.
"Sweetheart, wag mo pilitin ang sarili mo kung ayaw mo," I said at her nang makarating kami sa condo ko. Inaya ko siyang doon muna mag meryenda.
She tried to smile habang hinaplos ng marahan ang pisngi ko. I held it with mine. "I am going to be fine. At ayoko naman na pahindian ang magulang nga lalaking mahal ko," she said proudly.
I smiled widely. Dumukwang ako para halikan siya ng mabilis sa labi. Malapad na malapad ang ngiti ko. "Hmm..you kept on saying that. I should believe it," I said grinning.
Umirap ito. "You should because its true."
Nakangiting kinulong ko sa mga palad ko ang maamong mukha ni Bella. Nagtama ang mga mata namin.
"And I love you more, Isabella Alexandra Monteverde. Don't ever doubt that."
Napakurap ang bilugang mga mata nito. "Y-You are making me swoon, Eugenio Carlos."
I chuckled. "Now, this is the first time na may nagsabi sa akin na babae na nag s-swoon siya sa akin. At girlfriend ko pa!"
She rolled her eyes upward. She smirked. "Natuwa ka naman!"
