Hendrix's POV

Oh hijo nandito ka pala, what brings you here? Mrs. Ocampo asked, mother of Sophia

pina-upo niya ako sa sofa sa sala nila, Wala dito si Sophia eh baka pumunta lang sa mall, she said while putting a cup of tea

Tita ayoko ng magpaligoy-ligoy pa, you know why I'm here, ng mapansin niyang seryoso ako umupo narin siya sa kabilang sofa na kaharap ko

I'm not surprised, she said

I can't Tita, I already love someone, i said at napayuko dahil ang tagal ko ng gustong sabihin to kay Tita pero hindi ako maka hindi sa kaniya, ang dami kong utang na loob sa kanila by taking care of their daughter is my only way para makabawi sa kanila

Sophia is in good condition lately, she said at uminom ng tsaa, Her psychiatrist said that Sophia's health is getting pretty well, I'm scared that Sophia's anxiety disorder will outgrow when you're not around Hendrix

Your daughter doesn't need me anymore, i said, they are thinking that Sophia is still in to me

When Tyler and Sophia broke up, Sophia's anxiety disorder is in really bad condition, She's scared to be left out, she even beg for my love and forgiveness because she can't live alone without anyone accompanying her

Mrs. Ocampo asked me for a favor to take care of her daughter, I know nagsisimula palang noon ang nararamdaman ko kay Kristina. I'm even scared to commit a relationship with her because in the end alam kong masasaktan ko siya.

Hendrix

nakatitig siya sa akin

What? ituloy mona Kristina—

IthinkIalreadyloveyou! mabilis niyang sabi

I can't think straight that time, I want to be happy and at the same time hindi ko alam kung saya ba talaga ang dapat kong maramdaman

Whatt?? ulitin mo nga

ayoko na sinabi ko na nga eh kulit!

Di ko nga naintindihan ulitin mo

I think I already love you! irap niya saken

Ngumiti ako at yinakap ko siya, I love you too Kristina I really wanna shout it that time

Hindi ko inexpect yon HAHAHAHHA, lookk Maria Kristinaaa iss confessingg to me!! sigaw ko para mabawasan yung sakit na nararamdaman ko

Naunahan mo ko, bulong ko sa kaniya, It was priceless that time, dapat masaya nako noon dahil alam kong mahal din ako ni Kristina but I can't  kase alam kong masasaktan ko siya

What do you mean Hendrix? Mrs. Ocampo asked

Your daughter is into another guy and our relationship is over long time ago Mrs. Ocampo, i said

natahimik siya at matagal bago nagsalita

Bakit ngayon mo lang to sinabi? she asked but she's still calm like a modest madam

Sophia asked for it, maikli kong sagot

What's his name?

Tyler Agustin, i answered her question, I dont care if I broke a promise It's really exhausting to me to love a person I really don't love
