Forbidden Love : Book 2

Chapter 6.3

   " How are you? Di na kita masyado makita sa hotel ha..." agaw ni Brent sa atensyon ko.

                " Huh? ...quite fine...but..."

                " Quite fine? Is there a problem?" he's not convinced..

                I took a deep breath first... " Brent ... I saw Jiro, lastnight..."

                I saw his eyes widen in shock.. "Huh? Where? Nagkausap na ba kayo?" Pero mejo nag-aalala ang boses, may halong selos...

                Umiling ako. "No..he don't even recognize me..." sabay subo ng piece of pancake.

                " What do you mean?"

                " Hindi nya ko pinansin, as if It was a mistaken identity..."

                " Maybe you are really mistaken Kaye.."

                " No , I'm sure si Jiro yun, at yun na nga pinagtataka ko, hindi nya ko pinansin eh..."

                " Kaye.." he first took a zip of his latte, " remember...hindi maganda ang paghihiwalay nyo years ago? Maybe that's the reason..."

                " I don't know...Pero iba kasi..Never mind..kain na lang tayo.."

                Nagkibit balikat lang si Brent and continue with his food.

                I break the silence and ask him. "Pansin ko lang, tuwing breakfast mo ko sinasama sa pagkain?"

                "Hmmm bakit ayaw mo?"

                "Its not my point!"

                "Okay Okay... Simply because the morning gives me new hope, and malay ko one morning sagutin mo na ko while we're having breakfast together, oh di ba?"

                " Hindi pa rin ako nawawalan ng pag-asa Kaye."  This time he looks more serious. He puts down his spoon and fork and hold my hand, looking straight to my eyes.

                Hindi ko keri to teh, nakakatunaw yung tingin ni Brent. Help!!! Im starting to melt.

                " I love you so much Kaye, and I can wait, even if you ask me to stop. I won't stop "

                Ganito ako kamahal ni Brent, pero tanga ata itong puso ko, may ibang hinahanap. Kung baga anjan na yung pagkain na masarap, nakahain na, naghahanap pa nang iba. Haist.

                "If only I could teach my heart Brent...."

                "Shhhhh...." "Its okay..."

                Hindi ko na natuloy ang sasabihin ko, maybe he don't want to hear the next words that will come out of my mouth.

                After nang breakfast...

                " Are we going home na?"  I ask Brent, who is at the driver's seat already...
