"Kasi paano ko sasabihin sa'yo na 'Uy Amelie, huwag mo naman akong saktan nang ganito.' 'Wag ka namang sumama kay Andrew kasi ikakawasak 'yon ng puso ko.' Sege sabihin mo sa akin kung paano? You were in-love with him and you only saw me as a friend all these time, Amelie!"

"And you were having all the wrong hunches all these time, Drick! I was never in-love with Andrew!"

"What?"

"Siguro mahal ako ni Andrew. Pero ako? Isa lang ang lalaking minahal ko sa buong buhay ko at alam niya 'yon. Too bad that you were so clueless about it."

"Are you saying that..."

"Manhid ka lang kasi talaga. Ikaw nga kasi ang mahal ko!"

"Damn."

Amelie just laughed. Drick then heaved a deep breath and stopped in his tracks for a while.

"Ano? Titigil ka na lang diyan? Pwede rin namang sumama na lang ulit ako kay Andrew kung wala ka palang balak sa akin."

"Don't you dare, Amelie." Lumapit si Drick sa babaeng tinitibok ng puso niya at saka hinawi ang iilang hibla ng buhok na nagkalat sa mukha nito. Pagkatapos ay hinawakan niya ang mukha nito gamit ang parehong kamay.

"Now that I know what you feel for me, I will never let you go again. I love you so much, Amelie. So much..."

"Mahal din kita, Drick. Mahal na mahal kita," tugon naman noong huli.

Isang matamis na ngiti ang namutawi sa labi ng dalawa hanggang sa unti-unti nang magdikit ang kanilang mga labi para sa isang halik na punong-puno ng pagmamahal.

"Yay, tapos na!" Belle clapped her hands as she looked at our daughter who was beside her. They just finished watching my movie with Sheraine and Jordan way back too many years ago. Seven, to be exact.

I smiled at the sight and just stayed silent while watching them. Kanina pa sila nagmomovie-marathon at hindi na lang ako nakikialam. This is how they usually spend time with each other.

Well, this is how we usually bond as a family.

"Mom, was that the best movie that Dada had when he was still an actor?" Amaya asked her Mom.

Doon na ako pumasok sa eksena. I sat beside her and carried her to sit on my lap. Ngumiti lang naman si Isabelle sa ginawa ko. She knows I'm gonna handle our daughter's question. Well, ako naman ang gumawa ng maraming projects noon kaya ako rin talaga ang mas tamang sumagot ng katanungan niya.

"That wasn't the best movie that Dada had, baby. But do you wanna know what it is? You wanna see it?" I asked her.

She immediately nodded and her eyes immediately lit up in happiness. Amaya loves every piece that I made before and I love how I can show her my crafts before.
