Maila's POV.

I stop in an open area. I look around and saw no one. I went to one of the benches and from there, I cried my heart out.

Wala namang nakakakita eh. Mas okay din 'to, mairerelieved ko lahat ng nararamdaman ko.

My elbows on my knees while I cover my face with my both hands.

Only the sounds of chirping birds and swaying leaves are the things I can hear.

A moment later, I heard some foot steps then it stop in front of me.

I slowly remove my hands on my face and saw a pair of polished leather shoes on the ground.

I automatically look up to see who it was but a hand holding a handkerchief appeared on my view.

I look at the person and saw that it was Sir Charlie. He look a bit worried when he saw my eyes covered with tears.

I open my mouth to speak up but no words came out.

" You don't have to say anything. Just accept it." he gently said.

A tear fell on my right eye as I blink. The way he said it, it brings comfort to me. I accept the handkerchief before looking down and continue to cry again, this time silently.

Akala ko aalis na siya ng marinig kong muli ang mga yapak nito ngunit naramdaman kong umupo din ito sa bench na inuupuan ko.

" You don't have to restrain yourself, just cry as if I wasn't here." he said.

At dahil dun, tumalikod ako sakaniya at nagsimulang umiyak na parang bata na nagtratrantrums.

I felt his eyes was piercing at the back of my head. It makes me feel uneasy so I tell him, " D-Don't look at me!" I said pouting.

" I wasn't looking." he denied.

" I can feel your gaze, you know." I said sniffing and rolled my eyes.

I heard him shifting his posture.
" Fine, I won't look." he said in a light tone.

Hindi ko alam kung tinotoo niya ang sinabi niya dahil nakatalikod ako at hindi ko siya makita.

Sa mga oras na yun, tahimik lang siya at tanging mga ngawa ko lang ang naririnig sa lugar.

Ilang minuto ang lumipas, feeling ko nailabas ko na lahat ang hinanakit sa loob ko.

I started to calm myself and wipe my tears using the handkerchief I borrowed from him.

Umayos ako ng upo at medyo sinipon ako sa kakaiyak kaya't ginamit ko rin ito pang-singa.

Napalingon naman ako sa kaliwa ko upang tignan ang ginoo. Napansin kong may dalawang metro ang distansya namin sa isa't isa dahil pareho kaming nakaupo sa magkabilang dulo ng bench.

He was leaning against the backrest of the bench while crossing his arms. I surveyed his face and I was a bit surprise when I saw both of his eyes are closed.

'When he said he won't look, he really did mean it.' I thought to myself.

After I composed myself, I folded the handkerchief nicely and cleared my throat before speaking. " You can look now." I awkwardly said.
