Naha-happy ako kasi may nabasa akong comment na ang bilis ko daw mag-update. Hahaha. Nappressure ako! Lol. Oh ito na update. 😉😘

PS: Wag nyo ko ijudge after this. First time ko ata nagsulat ng ganito. 🙈  Sana nabigyan ko ng justice. 😝

Alyx's POV

I decided to spend the day sa office today para makipag-meet sa producer at para ma-finalize na din yung AD. As much as possible hangga't kaya kong tapusin yung trabaho ngayon,gagawin ko.

Nanay seems ok ng iniwan ko kanina. Alam ko she's in pain,pero sobrang galing nya magtago.

'Hi?' I look up at Mikko standing opposite my desk.

'Ah hi. Anong ginagawa mo dito?'

'Ahmm,pinapasok na ko ni Kai.'

'Ahhh. May problema ba? May kailangan ka ba? Na-discuss na namin sa producer yung approved AD ng daddy mo. Finalization na lang ng details tapos shoot na.'

'Ok. Thank you!' he looks intently at me like he's waiting for something.

I raised my eyebrow at him.

'Can we talk?'

Talk! Wala na ba kaming gagawin kundi mag-usap? Ano pa bang pag-uusapan?

'Mikko,madami pa kong tatapusin.'

'After you. Hihintayin kita.'

'Wag na--' but he walks in the chair slumming himself,and he reached for a nearby book then pretends to read. 'May problema ba?' tanong as I found him destructed. His eyes were not focusing on a single direction.

'Mamaya na lang pagkatapos mo dyan.'

'We can talk habang nag-aayos ako dito.'

'Baby, you want a legal separation?'

Shit! Saan nanggaling yan?

'Sino nagsabi sayo?'

I bit my lip as I remember. Si Nanay lang naman pinag-sabihan ko nun. And that was a plan. WAS.

'Totoo nga?' his voice is low and hurting. And I hate it!

I didn't reply.

'Alyx,all this time that I am all working hard to gain you back. You're thinking of a legal separation? You hate me that much.'

No. No. Gusto kong sabihin pero hindi ko magawa. Bakit walang lumalabas sa bibig ko?

'Ghad,ang sakit pala. You want me out of your life that much?'

I look up at him but he didn't met my gaze. He looks down.

And someone tugs at my heart seeing him like this.

I stand up and walk to him.

Kinuha ko kamay nya and pushes him to stand.

'Tara?'

'Saan? Akala ko you're working?'

'May bukas pa naman.'

He looks at our now entwined hnds.

Ghad,bakit ganito ka Mikko? You look so defeated. Akala ko ba hindi ka susuko? Narinig mo lang yun mukha ka ng pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa.

I want to give this man a credit. I once loved him. I once trust my everything to him. Nasaktan ako. Pero nasaktan din sya. And above everything that happens. At kahit na sobra akong nasaktan sa ginawa nya. We can't hide the fact that it all happened because of ME.

Mikko is a good man. He may go with the wrong choices sometimes. But he is still the very best man that I had.

At niloloko ko lang ang sarili ko kung hindi ako nag-aalala na nakikita syang ganito. I still care. I do care for him a lot.

'Mr. Torres,your wife wants you to stand there at samahan sya.'

He look so confused. But his eyes were smiling. Biglang nawala yung destructed at defeated look sa mukha nya.

'You're still my wife?' he whispers while playing with my fingers.

'Sasama ka ba? O hahayaan mo na lang yung asawa mo na---'

F*ck! Shit!

I don't know how. Hindi ko alam kung kelan sya tumayo. Hindi ko alam kung paanong napunta sa magkabila kong pisngi ang kamay nya. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ko maisara ang mga mata ko. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kelan kaya ng puso ko ang hindi sumabog sa sobrang lakas ng kabog nya.

Basta ang alam ko, his lips were on mine.

He's kissing me.

'I love you.' he whispers, his lips on mine.

And I breathe it in.

My eyes shuts as I felt his lips on mine again.

And hell with all my walls because I am kissing him back.

I AM KISSING HIM BACK.

His hand travelled down to my neck,down to my arms then to my back pulling me to him. I clung to his arms. Nanlalambot ang tuhod ko. Jusko. He's taking everything I had with this kiss.

I think I'm flying. I don't know. I can't feel my feet on the ground. I can't-- shit. He picked me up. My legs wrapped around his waist. And I immediately grasps the back of his neck.

'M-mikko--'

'I miss you. I miss kissing you!' he breathes in to my ear.

He sat me down on my desk. His hand on either side of me. Our lips just an inches away.

I entangled my fingers on his hair and he groans.

'I love you so much. I love you! God. Its killing me.' his voice pleading. At sa sobra lapit nya saken ramdam na ramdam ko bilis ng kabog ng dibdib nya.

'Shh. I am not filing a legal separation o kung ano man. That WAS my plan,yes. Pero hindi ko na alam kung gagawin ko pa.'

'Why?'

'Ayokong masaktan si nanay.'

He bit in his lip. He looks down but his not backing away. And I am not letting him go too.

'At ayaw kitang saktan. Mikko,minsan oo. Gusto kong makita kang nahihirapan. Gusto ko makita ka na masaktan. Pero hindi naman kaya nito.' I put my hand on my chest at sinundan nya ito ng tingin. 'Nasasaktan to makita kang ganyan.'

Literal na umikot ang mundo ko when he grabbed me. He take my lips again. His arms around me and I am hugging him back. And I am kissing him with as much intensity as his.
