AALIS NA SANA SI DEINE nang biglang bumukas ang pinto at nagulat siya nang bigla na lang siya sinalubong ng yakap ni Klyde. “Finally, you're here.”

Ngumiti siya at niyakap ito pabalik. “Sorry, it took me months before coming back.”

“It is okay as long as you came back, to me,” sabi ni Klyde at mas hinigpitan ang yakap nito na parang ayaw siyang mawala sa hawak nito.

Kumunot ang noo niya nang maramdamang basa ang balikat niya. Is he crying? Oh my god!

Kaagad niyang sinapo ang mukha ni Klyde at madamdaming tinitigan ang umiiyak na mukha nito. “Why are you crying? I'm finally here.”

“I know, babe. It just felt surreal that you're finally here with me. I'm so happy that I can finally hug you again.”

“Then, does that mean you are accepting me in your life again?” Nag-aalangang tanong ni Deine.

“Not unless you will tell me why you leave me, I will gladly accept you and tie you up for you to not leave me again, babe. May phobia na ata ako sa pag-alis mo. Hindi ko kakayaning mawala ka na naman ulit na parang bula, ikamamatay ko, Deine.”

“Klyde...”

“I'm only sane because you left a letter for me that I can hold on to. I continued my life and focus on my business but there's still a hole inside me that I am craving to be filled, and you're finally here, the one who took my heart away and now, it is back again.”

Ngumiti siya. “Okay, I already got the permission to tell you things you want to know. But first, why don't we introduce ourselves for a new beginning?”

Tumango si Klyde at ngumiti. “Hmm, okay, I like that. I'll go first," sabi nito at tumayo ng tuwid bago nilahad ang kamay nito. “Hi miss, I am Klyde Villamor, owner of the Villamor's hotels in and out of the country, 30 years old, and I love Deine."

Kaagad na dumaloy ang luha sa mata ni Deine sa narinig. He loves me!

“Hi Klyde, my name is Deine Leviste, an assassin of Funu organization, a sniper, 28 years old, and I love Klyde.”

“What?” Nanlalaki ang mata ni Klyde.

“Oh and by the way, I am 6 months pregnant.”

Bago pa sila makapagkamay ay nagulat na lang si Deine nang mawalan ng malay si Klyde kaya mabilis niyang sinalo ang ulo nito. Natawa na lang siya at hinila ito papasok sa loob at sinara ang pinto.

Ilang minuto lang ay nagising na ito at kaagad na bumangon. Nang makita siya na nasa sofa ay mabilis itong lumapit sa kaniya at walang sabi-sabing hinalikan siya kaya napangiti siya at tinugon ang halik nito.

Nang maghiwalay sila ay nakangiti na si Klyde. “I can't believe I'm going to be a dad soon, babe. Have you already done your check up? Is the baby healthy? Wait, it's already 6 months right? Does that mean you already know the gender?”

Natawa siya. “Yes, I just had my check up last week and so far, our baby is healthy and strong. And no, I want the baby's gender to be surprised so, we won't be knowing the gender until I gave birth.”

“Okay, you're the one who will give birth so it's your call. Anyways, do you crave anything? Food or something?"

Tumango siya. “Yep. But I will eat it later. But first, I want to tell you my story so you will know me better. So you'll know who is Deine Leviste, okay?”

Tumango si Klyde. Bago nagkwento si Deine ay iniyakap niya ang mga braso ni Klyde sa kaniya a ngumiti. There, feels home.

“Actually, I don't have a peace and nice childhood...” panimula niya at huminga ng malalim. “When I was a  kid, someone came to our house and talked to my parents about something I still don't understand in my age. I only saw guns, women, and my parents eyes begging. But those women are vicious, they never take any begging. Then they took me, telling my parents that I will be the payments of the money my parents borrowed from them.
