My attention fixes on the pelting raindrops outside again. I just want to run out into the rain without a care, feel the water drip down my body , wiping the dirt that I feel from inside me
I was interrupted with my chains of thoughts when I heard a small knock at the door and the next thing I knew Meg slid herself inside my room
“Nina, Iñigo’s waiting for you”
I flinched unable to say the right words that should come out of my lips. Tonguetied is my apparent state
What was I going to say anyway?
“Nina…” Meg drew herself nearer to me and tapped my back
“Ano ka ba, hindi talaga maayos ang lahat when you keep on ignoring him like that” ----She grabbed my left hand and raised it up----. “See? Engage na kaya kayo.. stop acting like high school idiotic couples”
“Meg .. I don’t think …”
“What?! That you’re not ready? That you needed time?” she rolled her eyes and added
“Come on, Nina. Yang cool off cool off na yan para sa mga timang lang yan na naghihintay ng grasya. Kung di ka gagalaw, kailan pa?”
She grabbed my hand and the squeeze it
“Minsan talaga Nina may pagka-slow ka din eh .. Ewan ko ba. Matalino ka naman eh kaya punta ka na don at kausapin mo na”
I smiled at her and said
“I don’t know what I’ll do if you’re not here”

Upon entering the living room, Iñigo right away notice me and I didn’t resisted a smile as he did the same to me. I sat beside him at the couch but was looking down at the carpet
I was embarrass to say the very least, I don’t even know what to say to him. We fell into complete silence and none of us broke it. I glanced to my side and I notice him playing with his thumb
He often does that when he’s nervous
Why was he being nervous at the times like this?
“About .. that facebook thing, I already handled the issue with Tatianna”
My head snapped right up at his direction and then I glared at him
“Tatianna? Isn’t that your ex girlfriend before you came down and flew back to Phils?”
“Uhh--- yeah but---”
“What BUT?!” --- I stood up from the couch and crossed my arms on top of my chest – “So you were exchanging flirty response to that girl? She’s your ex!”
He followed my suit and stood up from the couch as well
“Oh come on!! Panay naman din like ni Luigi ang mga pictures mo ah!”
“That’s different!! Luigi’s my friend and there’s nothing—”
“Well there’s nothing going on between me and Tats too and Luigi isn’t different .." His face was instense and full of anger when he came closer
"you know he’s got a thing for you pero panay pang friendly response mo sa kaniya”
“Hindi kasama si Luigi sa issue na ‘to.. the thing here is you being too close to your own comfort with your Tats” I rolled my eyes as my tongue was a little burn with how I uttered her name
“I told you, Tatianna and I are over.. I have you now”
“Exactly! You have me now pero ang landi landi mo naman! There was Jennifer, Maureen, Isla, Jennessa..and even KENDRA!!! Sino pa? pati sa tumblr mo ang lalandi ng questions.. sa twitter at kahit sa formspring mo!”
“Dine-active ko na nga formspring and tumblr ko .. ano pa gusto mo?”
“At ngayon mo lang naisip magdeactivate?” I gave him a disgust look and gritted my teeth “kung d pa ako magiging---”
“What?! Hysterical? Paranoid? Come on .. Nina! You’re better than that”
“I am better than that!!” I shouted on top of my lungs as my eyes began to water
“but when it comes to you..—”
I stopped as I bit my lower lip and looked down at the carpet once more
----“ when it comes to you, I could be hysterical, crazy, paranoid, psycho .. whatever else you may call it because…”
---- I looked up straight to his eyes and said ----
“I’m afraid one day when I wake up, I already lost you to someone else who’s more than willing to spread their legs for you.. The type na mas magbibigay sayo ng ligaya. The type na hindi papatayin ang baby sa loob ng tyan niya.. The type. Na—”
I was cut off to whatever I was about to say when Iñigo already hugged me as tight as he could. Suprised, I hugged him back but when I attempted to let go, He hugged me tighter than the usual
“Nina, I love you.. I said it before and I’m gonna say it again. I love you whatever happens I love you.” He bent down and kiss my forehead
“So don’t get all worn out thinking someone could even replace you here” he pointed out his left chest to where his heart was
“and don’t take all the blame, Nina. Maybe the baby wasn’t meant to be with us, maybe God has something else for us. No one should be blame, Nina. It was not your fault in the first place”
He held on to my hands tightly and then grab the back of my head so I would rest it on his firm chest
“Walang may kasalanan, Nina. Kaya wag mo nang sisihin ang sarili mo”
I don’t know how he does it but suddenly, it felt alright to cry. It felt like it’s going to be okay as long as he hugs me like this, if he keeps me warm in his embrace.
In a matter of seconds, my tears were already streaming down my cheeks and I started sobbing endlessly
“Im sorry, Im sorry, I’m sorry… I’m sorry” I said in the monotone over and over again as I sobbed
“SSsshh.. It’s okay”
Then he laid his hands on the both sides of my cheeks so I may able to look up to his face. I was still crying that time and tears were still blurring my vision when I saw him smirk at me
“Gusto mo gawa na lang tayo ulit?”
