Over Again (Ends With You [Sequel])

Chapter Two

Two Years and three months ago...

Den's POV

I'm playing with Tyler right now. Ang cute talaga niya. Best gift from Aly. Best gift from God. Best gift. Even though he's not from me nor Alyssa's blood, we're still family.

Aly: "Tyler Lazaro-Valdez!"

Hala. Ly is angry again.

"Hala ka, baby. What did you do again?"

Tyler: "Nothing!"

"Haha, cute. Go to your mom now."

Then I stood him up kasi naka-kandong siya sakin. After 3 minutes, bumaba si Ly. Yes, we have our own house now.

"What did you say to him?"

Aly: "Wala. Pinatulog ko lang, hon. Afternoon nap time, you know. Hindi kasi siya pupunta if I called him only 'Ty'."

"So full name dapat?"

Aly: "Of course."

Then she sat beside me and we watched TV.

Aly: "Hon. Is it OK if we go with Kim and Ara later? Bar lang naman."

"I can't hon. May appointment ako sa hospital. I'm needed there."

Then held my hand and interlaced our fingers together.

Aly: "You know naman. Birthday ni Kim eh. Wala eh. Lasenggera kasi siya."

Then we laughed.

"Alam mo naman kung bakit siya nagpapakalunod sa alak."

Aly: "Sayang ang FaTunay noh?"

"Sila pa naman goals natin."

Aly: "Dati. Pero syempre hindi na ngayon. Ayaw ko maghiwalay tayo."

"Of course, hon. Of course."

Then she kissed the back of my hand.

"Hon. Wag kang makisabay kay Kim, please. Once is enough."

Aly: "Twice is too much."

"Please, hon. I don't want it to happen again."

I felt that my tears are going to fall any second. But then I felt the warmth of her hand on my cheeks.

Aly: "I promise, hon. I'm sorry."

Then she stood up and went up stairs. Naalala ko kasi yung time where I caught Aly in a private room in a bar with a guy. Buti hindi siya nabuntis.

Aly: "Hon. *snap snap* Are you OK?"

"Uhm. Yes. Naalala ko lang kasi yung....."

Aly: "Please... Please... Forget it. I'm sorry. I already called Ella. Siya magbabantay kay Tyler. OK? I love you, Hon. Alis na ko ah?"

"Ah eh. Sige! Ingat ka! I love you so much!"

I love her so much it hurts me just to think about it. Sa sobrang pag mamahal ko sakanya, hindi ko siya matiis kaya napatawad ko kaagad.

*ding dong*

Then I went to the door and found Ella and Mae in their pajamas.

"Wow."
