One More Night

Steve's POV

"Hae Jun... H-Hae Jun..." the whole room was filled by her voice. She's moaning only my name, and I love it.

I moved faster inside her, in and out. Every thrust were getting so fast and rough. Until we both reached the top and I suddenly spurt my seeds inside her.

Bigla na lang akong nagising dahil doon. Here I am again, dreaming of that night, of her.

Thats... years ago. Ilang mga taon na ang lumipas pero hindi ko pa rin nakakalimutan ni isang katiting na detalye sa pangyayaring iyon. And until now, umaasa pa rin akong mahahanap ko siya.

Naalala ko tuloy ang mga nangyari sa amin noon.

I almost got crazy when I woke up without her beside me. I asked myself if why she left me alone in that place.

She didnt go to school, and I even found out that her mom is dead. Someone told me that she's already with her relatives, and I dont know where to find her.

Still, I continued my last years in high school, and I didnt continue studying in college. I decided to try auditioning in a Filipino based entertainment company where I met three men now I call my brothers.

From them I learned how to speak tagalog, but I never want to hold notebooks. It reminds me of Marie, and all what happened to us.

After that, we go back to Korea. It is because my dad got sick. Unfortunately, he died. We decided to came back, and here my mom married Mr. Donny German, a half Filipino American that lives here in the Philippines.

I pursued my career as an artist. And now, I still continued my life as Steve Reo German, the name that my step father gave me. Pero hanggang ngayon, I'm still Hae Jun, na naghihintay pa rin kay Marie.

"Nakatulog ka na naman dyan sa sala, Steve. Dreaming of her again." napalingon na lang ako nang marinig ko ang boses niya.

Alam talaga niya iyon. Kasi, mula nang hindi ko na nakita si Marie, naging hobby ko na ito. And I told this hobby to her.

'Sit on the sofa until makatulog ako, and then I'll dream about me and Marie.'

"You really never moved on with Marie, right?" rinig kong sabi ng kapatid kong si Ava. Actually, she's my older step sister. But she let me to call her just her name.

Napalingon na lang ako. Hindi ko na dapat ikinuwento sa kanya ang bagay na iyon. Though I didnt tell na may nangyari sa amin. But I told her how much I like Marie. Wala na kasi akong ibang masabihan.

I'm mom's only son. Kaya nang makilala ko si Ava, siya na ang nakakakwentuhan ko tungkol kay Marie. Isa pa, she's a girl. She can speak tagalog language because she's a filipino teacher, like her Filipina mom who also died.

Also, she can give me advices, especially about love, and Marie.

Kaya lang minsan, inaasar niya ako. Gaya nga ngayon...

"Ewan ko sayo, Av."

Natawa lang siya dahil sa sinabi ko.

"Teka, hindi ka sasama sa amin? I heard we're invited to Mr. Yamamoto's birthday, your girlfriend's father remember?"

Oh! That... Ayokong sumama. Kahit pa nandoon si Maureen, my current girlfriend.

"Nah, its gonna be boring. Besides, babalik rin ako sa building e. I'm sure Maureen will understand."

Napatango naman siya. "A, ganon ba? Sige. Maiwan na muna kita dyan, Marie!" sabi niya at naglakad papasok sa kwarto niya.

"Av!" narinig ko na lang siya na tumatawa. She really likes to tease me about Marie.

But seriously, I really miss her, so much. Kahit na may mga babaeng dumarating sa buhay ko, siya pa rin ang iniisip ko.

Because they only want me for luxury, and for business thingies.

Only Marie didnt know how rich I am before. But still, it seems she doesnt care. And thats what one that I love from her.

Maureen and I? We're tied, but she's the only one who still work for our relationship. And mom doesnt like her.

Naalala kong muli si Marie. Nasaan na kaya siya ngayon. Naaalala pa kaya niya ako?

Kasi, kung ako ang tatanungin, Its a big yes. And until now, she's my very very first love, my kasintahan.

Ellaine's POV

NOW, I'M IN THE AIRPORT, at hinahanap ko na lang kung nasaan si mama. Siya kasi ang susundo sa akin ngayon.

"Ellaine! Mom is here!" rinig ko habang naglalakad ako. And I saw my very pretty mom, mama Desa. And she's smiling while waving her hands. Kaya naman, agad ko na siyang pinuntahan.

And I gave her a hug.

"Na-miss talaga kita!" napangiti siya. "You changed a lot, anak." Yes, she's right.

Naalala ko tuloy kung ano ang mga nangyari dati.

After I lost our child, lolo and papa decided this. They want me to fully move on and forget all what happened. And of course, I pretend.

Sinunod ko ang gusto nila. Sumama ako kina lola sa London, and there they really changed me. From my old and nerdy looks, to a chick and classy one.

Pinag aral nila ako roon, dahil hindi ko natapos ang high school sa Pinas. Why? Hindi nila ako pinayagang mag aral dahil nahihiya sila sa nangyari sa akin, because I got pregnant without knowing all of them if who's the real father. Akala nila si Emil ang may gawa nito.

Hindi ko man gusto ang mga desisyon nila. Pero ginawa ko. I did all what they want. I changed how I dress, speak, and when I am in front of the crowd.

They even changed my name. From Marie Tuanzon to Ellaine Faraon. Inayos nila ang birth certificate ko. They made it Ellaine Marie T. Faraon.

Though they only put Ellaine as my first name, and Faraon as my surname. Hindi nila tinanggal ang Marie Tuanzon dahil iyon na lang ang natitirang ala ala ko sa namayapa kong ina na si mama Lanie.

And now, people will recognize me as Ellaine, the daughter of Benjamin Faraon.

But, only mommy Desa knows and sees the real me. And I thank her for spoiling me in this.

But, even if everything changed, hindi ko pa rin makakalimutan ang dating buhay ko, ang dating ako, at ang taong gusting gusto ko na ngayon ay mahal ko na, at mahal ko pa rin.

Si Hae Jun.
