The Love of Happiness

I woke up feeling sore all over. Inilibot ko ang paningin ko. So, it's real! We really did it! Namula ang aking pisngi nang maalala ang nangyari kagabi. I never thought I had this wild side. Napatingin ako sa brasong nakapulupot sa aking baywang.

I tilted my head and saw him peacefully sleeping beside me. Nakasiksik pa ang kanyang mukha sa aking leeg. Kitang-kita ko ang kapal ng kanyang kilay, lantik ng kanyang pilikmata, ang tangos ng kanyang ilong, ang pagkapula ng kanyang labi pati na rin ang perpektong pagkakaukit ng kanyang panga.

My life was black and white, dull.. colorless but his love embellished it with striking colors. I can't imagine myself being apart from him, because we're like two pieces of lego that just clicks together effortlessly.

We're like two pieces of puzzle, which finally met and fit perfectly together. We maybe separated but only the two of us.. can fit each other perfectly. Only us..

We feel each other and some times, we don't need words to express our feelings, our eyes can tell more than words can.

He never leaves my mind, he's always there. When I see him, it's as if space and time collapses into one tiny speck and explodes at light speed.

I've always been in love with him. Always.

It's just different now. If before I couldn't even fight for him, this time, I will. This time, I will choose my happiness. This time, I'm gonna choose myself. This is time, I'm gonna choose us. Because he doesn't deserve a half-baked love, he deserves every ounce of love. And I'm giving it to him.

I will give it all to him.

I will free myself from the cage that's been locking me up for so long.

Kukunin kita pabalik at hinding-hindi na ulit kita pakakawalan.

Maingat akong tumayo sa kanyang kama. Kinuha ko ang nakakalat ko na undergarments. Ika-ika akong pumunta sa kanyang walk-in closet. Sinuot ko iyon bago buksan ang pinto. Napaatras agad ako nang makita ko siyang nakahalukipkip sa harap ko.

He stared at me first before pulling me for a hug. He put chin on my shoulder and wrapped his arms around me. "Are you going to leave me again?" Napapaos niyang tanong.

It pains me how he thinks that I'm gonna leave him. I don't want him to feel that way because I will probably never be able to leave him.

I hugged him back and reached for his ear. "I won't. I will fix some things. I'll be back." Bulong ko sa kanya.

He hugged me tight. "I'll wait." He said before kissing my forehead, never removing his hands around me. "I love you."

I smiled at what he said. "I love you, too."

Iyon ang huli kong sinabi bago ako umalis sa kanyang penthouse. Ang sabi ko sa kanya, huwag na niya akong ihatid. Nakailang pilit pa siya na ihahatid daw niya ako. I just threatened him that I won't come back if he continues that.

Wala pang kalahating minuto, nakauwi agad ako sa aking bahay. Anong araw na ba ngayon? Sabado? Ibigsabihin, walang klase ang kambal at si Maven!

Nang makarating ako sa loob ng bahay namin, I saw them watching the television. Si Maven, may binabasang libro habang binabantayan ang kambal.

Tahimik akong umakyat papunta sa aking kwarto, hindi nagawa ng tunog. Napapikit na lamang ako nang mariin nang bigla tumikhim ang kambal at si Maven.

Lumingon ako sa kanila. They looked at me from head to toe and eyed me knowingly.

"Don't judge me." I told them before running upstairs which only worsened the pain I'm feeling. Lumakad nga lang, masakit na. Tumakbo pa?
