"That's not a commotion! You're asking me, and I just simply answer it!" I laughed.

"We're getting away again." He looked down at my lips. "If you won't stop, I'm going to kiss you nonstop."

I immediately cover my lips with my two hands. "No! You won't merely do that!" My voice can nearly understand because of that.

He chuckled. "That's right. I'll have your consent first," he smirked. "Shall we continue, then?"

I nodded habang hindi pa rin tinatanggal ang dalawang kamay sa mouth ko. I'm scared!

"You can remove your hands now, I'll behave."

At parang sira lang, sinunod ko ang sinabi niya.

"What now?" I was weighing him.

He looked at me gently now. "Tell me, babe. You sure you're okay now? Is there... something else bothering you?" He caressed my face. "Although I'm relieved that you comprehend the situation, I'm.. also concerned. You manage to maintain your composure despite the fact that this situation was severely serious. I'm.. just confused. No offense intended. I just... I've memorized your soft heart, kaya nga ako nag- aalala, 'di ba?"

I moved my lips a bit. "Honestly, babe, you're right. Kahit ako... Nalilito rin sa sarili ko. But one thing I'm sure of is... I know, really, I'm not mad at my parents. I'm just disappointed. It tells me it's different."

"Anger is just frustration, babe. You'll get over it in no time. But disappointment? Well, for me, it's stood more difficult. Because when you get disappointed, barely means expectations weren't met, right? People who were crimes of it will be needing more time and space cuz.. it additionally underlined trust."

He smiled at me. "Why do we initially become disappointed? Was it not the case that our expectations did not line up with the actions of the persons we trusted? "

I was caught back. I think of what he said... but I think it just added how bad the confusion in my head is. From what I understand it... it says that I don't now trust my parents, especially Dad, right? Iyon ang pagkakaintindi ko sa sinabi niya. But no... I know I still trust them because I honestly understand. I knew them and I'll hold onto that.

"Frankly, rage is brought on by a certain amount of disappointment. It triggers," he added.

I used my unworking hand without his touch to feel my heart. I don't vividly understand what he was trying to display outwardly. Because I am hundred percent sure! That I don't feel any anger...

"That's confusing now. I'm not really mad at my parents..."
