Chapter Thirty Eight
First Anniversary

KATHRYN

Tinanggal ko yung sweatshirt at bra ko. Nakasando lang ako at short shorts. Lumabas ako pagkatapos ng ilang minuto at nakita ko siyang nakaupo sa bed. Tumingin siya sa akin. "Tulog na tayo?" tumango ako saka lumapit sa may bed.

Where am I suppose to sleep?

Nakatitig lang ako kama. "Okay lang ba na magtabi tayo?" I slowly nodded then she pat the left side of the bed.

Okay.

Kalma, Lexi.

Shit.

Pareho kaming naka supine position walang nagsasalita pero bukas pa ang mga mata namin dahil sa ilaw nung lamp.

"Ano yung date ng flight mo?" tanong niya sa akin. "June 25. Ikaw?" nagpaside ako para makita ko siya.

"June 25 din. So may 4 days pa." sabi niya na parang may iniisip.

I was looking at her. I just can't believe na yung taong hinihintay ko noon pa man nandito na sa tabi ko. I kinda want to touch her face. Gosh. I miss her scent.

"Can I ask you a favor?" biglang siyang nagpaside na ikinagulat ko, magkalapit na mukha namin. As. In. Shit. 1. Inch.

Medyo lumayo siya na ikinadismaya ko. "A--ano yun?" tanong ko. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin.

"4 days. Kahit 4 days lang." kinakabahang sabi niya. "And in that 4 days I promise I'll make it up to you. Those 4 anniversaries we weren't able to spent together because I was busy." Ewan ko pero sa ngayong araw na to ang tanga tanga.

My brain can't seem to process what she's talking about.

"Let's go back to our first anniversary, second, third and most especially going fourth if we just didn't broke up that day." seryosong sabi niya.

Go back to----what? Tangina ang slow ko.

"Let's go back to the past as if we're still in a relationship. Please?" she pleaded. I really don't know what to say right now. Shit lang na malanding Sandoval to.

"W--why?" naguguluhang tanong ko. "We ended our relationship in a bad way. I--- I just wanna make it up to you." mahinang sabi niya.

"Sorry, was I being insensitive? Sorry. It's okay if you don't like it." mahinang sabi niya saka bumalik sa pagiging supine position.

"It's okay with me." hindi ko alam kung nagiging marupok at tanga na naman ba ako o sadyang gusto ko lang tapusin yung relationship namin in a nice way.

Nagpaside ulit siya. "Really? Thank you. I'll promise to do better." she smiled and give me a kiss in my forehead saka ako niyakap. I put my arms around her waist at inamoy siya.

Gosh! I miss her. I miss her warm hugs. I miss her scent. It's making me lose my mind.

"I'm sorry for everything." she whispered while she's patting my back.

"Wag muna natin alalahanin yun. Diba bukas palang yung first anniversary natin?" and then I heard her chuckled and "Right." as she nodded.

"I love you." nakakaantok niyang sinabi. The way she said those words felt like a comfort to me.

I so love this woman in front of me.

Damn, memories suddenly keep coming into my mind. I didn't respond. I want to say I love you too pero parang ayaw sabihin ng bibig ko. I love you so much Kiera that I even loved you more than my own self.
