"I never cheated on you." He sighed. "Iyon ang gusto ni Dad. Ang ikasal kami ni Aicel. You probably know Koleigh right?"
I nodded.
"Boyfriend ni Aicel si Koleigh. Aicel's parents and my parents are business partners. You already know what happened na siguro. You love reading stories with this kinds of genre right?" He laughed. I smiled.
"I promised na ipaglalaban kita. I tried. I swear. But my dad told me that if I did not marry Aicel, he will do something bad to you. I can't risk to lose you. You're the only one who supports me. I don't want to lose you Neoma. I would rather see you happy around than losing you permanently." He said
"Kahit kailanman hindi ako sumaya ng wala ka, Mios. Mas lalo lang akong nawala, naguluhan at hindi nakaintindi." Sabi ko.
"I know, and I'm really sorry. You'd probably ask, what happened? How did I ditch the wedding? Wedding namin last month. And as I walk into the aisle, I realized that I could never marry someone that is not you. How about Aicel? What happened to her? She found someone else, while Koleigh she's back with your bestfriend, aria." He explained.
"There's so much regret, na hindi kita ipinaglaban. Na sinaktan kita, na hindi ko ipinaliwanag sa'yo. Pinagsisisihan kong hindi na lang kita sinabihan ng tungkol dito. Gusto kong ibalik sa umpisa lahat." His tears started rolling down on his face. I wiped it with my handkerchief. I smiled and hugged him.
"Ginusto kong ipag laban ka Neoma, kung hindi lang kaya ng tatay ko ang pag sira sa'yo, ipinaglaban kita e', pero yung pag bantaan ka niya, hindi ko kakayaning mawala ka. Sobrang nasaktan rin ako, at hindi ibig sabihin non ay hindi ka nasaktan. Alam kong mas nasaktan ka dahil nag sinungaling ako sa'yo, nasaktan kita, kaya naiintindihan kong galit ka. I'm sorry" he cried continuesly.
Nag simula na rin ang pag patak ng luha ko, ngayon ko lang narealize na nasaktan rin siya, na magulang niya ang nag dala sa'min sa ganitong sitwasyon.
Nag simula na rin ang pag patak ng ulan. Kasabay ng pag patak ng luha naming dalawa.
"At least we've grown. Mag kahiwalay man, pero naging mas better tayo." Sabi ko sa kaniya habang nakangiti.
"I'm sorry.." he keeps telling me how sorry he was. As if I will never accept his apology.
"Sorry Neoma.."
"Come on stop it! I'm accepting your apology. I am sorry too for not letting you explain and just leave." I laughed.
"No, what you did was alright, you can leave without telling me since you cut me off your life. You don't have to say sorry." He smiled. He hugged me tightly as we bathe in the light rain.
"Let's go, you might get sick." I nodded.
