His Amour [Donny Pangilinan]

prologue.

"Please let me know that you can hear me." I hear sobs around me and a whimper of a person who seems to be very familiar.

Ibinalot niya ang kanang kamay ko sa kanyang kamao. Pinisil ko ito so he'll know that I can hear him.

Mas lumapit pa ang tunog na aking naririnig. It's his voice, I'm too familiar with it to not recognize that it's his. Nararamdaman ko na din ang hininga niya dahil sa lapit ng mukha niya sa akin.

"I love you." He muttered under his breath.

Gustuhin ko man tumugon sakanyang sinabi ngunit hindi ko magawa. Tanging pagpisil lamang sakanyang kamay ang aking nakayanan. There are words I want to say but my mouth can't release them.

I love you, too. If I could just express how deep it is.

Gusto ko nang kumawala sa ganitong kalagayan. I want to squeeze my arms around you tighter as I did before. Gustong gusto ko, pero hindi ko kaya.

"Stay. 'Wag mo 'ko iwan. Hihintayin kita." He whispered. His voice still serves as music to my ears.

At that very moment, my tears broke and the rest followed in an unbroken stream. He pulled me closer, and he kissed my forehead.

I hate it, but I love you.
