"What do you prefer to eat?" Jaxxon asked while the seller is waiting for us to tell him what we want to buy. "Chocolate or vanilla icecream?" he added.
"Kahit ano," I answered briefly.
Jaxxon decided to buy me a vanilla icecream while his icecream is chocolate. Ilang beses ko siyang sinulyapan nang makalayo na kami sa tindahan at pabalik na sa bahay. Bigla lang sumagi sa isipan ko na magpapasama pala siya, sabi niya. Kani-kanina, 'di ko man lang naisip iyong pagpapili niya sa akin ng icecream!
"Ano 'to, Jaxx?" I arched a brow when I asked him that. "Sabi mo, magpapasama ka?"
"Yeah," he simply answered and licked his icecream. "Nagpasama akong bumili ng icecream?" patanong niyang sabi.
"Icecream?" I chuckled. "Hindi na tayo bata, Jaxx, para mag-icecream pa."
"Bakit? Para lang ba sa mga bata ang icecream?" he fired back. "Why don't you just thank me for buying you one?"
Ngumuso ako, nagpigil ng ngiti dahil sa kasungitan niya ngayon. Ano, Jaxx? Ang sungit mo, ah? Mayroon ka ba ngayon?
"I am just kidding, baby," malambing kong sabi at sinimulan nang kainin ang icecream ko.
May dumaan na cart na nagbebenta ng homemade na fish ball kaya naisipan din ni Jaxx na bumili para sa kaniya at para sa akin. I was smiling the whole time. Kumakain kami ni Jaxx habang naglalakad pauwi.
After the scene earlier, he did not hesitate to throw out Cynthxia from the house. I don't know if I should be happy about it.. but I don't understand why I pity her. Hindi ko talaga alam kung gusto niya ba talaga si Jaxx, mahal niya, o siguro gusto niya lang ito maging ama ni Chyro dahil nangungulila ang anak niya sa ama nito?
Somehow, I am proud of her for raising her child alone. Being a single mom is not easy. Cheers to those single mothers who never given up raising their children. They are strong and brave enough. They are proving that women can raise their children without a father, without a men, without anyone with them. I salute those single mothers, they are so strong. They should be praised for being brave.
Kaya siguro uhaw sa atensyon ni Jaxx si Cynthxia kasi pagod na siyang magpalaki sa anak niya nang mag-isa? Kaya naghahanap siya ngayon ng magiging ama para sa anak niya? Speaking of the father.. who was the father of her child?
"Jaxx.. alam mo ba kung sino ang papa ni Chyro?" I couldn't hold my curiosity and asked that to him.
Umiwas lang siya sa tingin. "I don't know.."
Naningkit ang mga mata ko. "Are you sure it wasn't you, Jaxx? Sigurado kang hindi mo anak si Chyro?"
"Yes, Zani, I am sure. Why are you doubting me?" iritado niyang sabi.
"Iisa lang 'yan sa dalawa, eh," I said. "It's between you know who is his father or you are the father."
He sighed, surrendering now. "Fine.. I know who is his father. Kami lang ni Cynthxia ang may alam niyon."
I tilted my head a bit. "Who is it then? Hm?"
"Zani, it wasn't our problem---"
"Ano'ng problem na pinagsasabi mo riyan? I am asking who is the father, Jaxx. Bakit napunta sa problem-problem na 'yan ang usapan?"
"Dahil alam kong proproblemahin mo pa ang ama ni Chyro," logic niyang sagot.
"Jaxx, gusto ko lang naman malaman kung sino---"
"It was Rios," he cut me off guard.
Natigilan ako sa sinabi at tiningnan siya na nanlalaki ang mga mata dahil hindi ako makapaniwala. Rios? Si Doctor Rios?! Eh 'di ang kapal din ng mukha ni Cynthxia na maghanap ng ibang lalaki gayong guwapo rin naman pala ang tunay na ama ni Chyro!
"P-Paano?" tanong ko nang makabawi na sa gulat. "Paano sila nagkaanak?" nakakabobo kong tanong.
"Of course, they had sex?" iritadong saad ni Jaxx.
Napatawa ako sa bigla niyang pagkabulgar kaya tinampal ko ang braso niya. Umiwas siya at pinukol ako ng masamang tingin. I am being serious here!
"Seryoso nga ako, Jaxx, paano sila nagkaanak?" I repeated.
"Nag-sex nga sila," masungit niyang sabi. "Ano pa ba ang dapat gawin para magkaanak? Iturok ang semilya sa---"
Tinakpan ko ang bibig niya gamit ang isa kong kamay habang tumatawa. He's going too far! He glared at me before finishing eating his food. Ubos na ang icecream niya at fish ball tanging ang hawak niya lang ngayon ay ang kinakain kong fish ball at ang ice cream ko.
"Napakabulgar mo na!" puna ko. "You're not innocent anymore," dugtong ko pa.
"You started it all," he accused and handed me my food. "Ubos na ang akin, kainin mo na 'yang sa 'yo," he changed the topic instead.
"Tss.." Ngumuso ako at kinuha sa kaniya ang fish ball ko at ang icecream ko na unti-unting natutunaw na. "Ang mga lalaki talaga.. ang bibilis kumain."
He chuckled. "Should I be blamed for that?"
Kumuha siya sa fish ball ko at kinain din ang icecream ko nang walang pasabi. Mabilis kong iniwas kaagad iyon sa kaniya at pinukol siya ng masamang tingin. He only laughed.
"Inubos mo 'yong sa 'yo 'tapos makiki-share ka ngayon sa akin?" Nagtaas ako ng kilay sa kaniya.
"What?" he asked innocently, still laughing.
"Lahat talaga ng akin, kakainin mo, 'no?" Pinandilatan ko siya.
Ngumisi siya at nanindig ang mga balahibo ko sa ngisi niyang iyon.
"Oo.. lahat naman talaga na sa 'yo, kakainin ko."
Para bang ibang hatid sa akin ng katagang ginamit niya. I blurted a laugh. I couldn't punch him on his arm or what because I was still holding my food. Kung hindi ko lang talaga ito hawak ngayon, baka kung ano nang pananakit ang ginawa ko sa kaniya, eh!
Iba ba talaga ang ibig sabihin ng sinabi niya? O sadyang madumi lang talaga ang isip ko? Damn!
"Jayjay!"
Mga grupo ng kalalakihan ang nadaanan namin. They are all on their jerseys, maybe to play a basketball game in their court? Kumaway sila kay Jaxx at bawat isa sa kanila ay binati talaga si Jaxx. They only smiled at me.
"Jay, buti hindi ka na busy!" pansin ng isa. "Alam namin na dumating ka na noong nakaraan kaso nabalitaan din namin na abala ka rin. Game tayo!" anyaya pa nito kay Jaxx.
"Game?" I tilted my head and looked at my boyfriend. "Basketball game? Are you playing basketball?"
"Hindi mo alam 'yan, miss?" the other one asked. "Captain 'yan namin, eh! Napakagaling 'yan maglaro! Bansag iyan dito na magaling na basketball player!"
Nalaglag ang panga ko sa narinig. Jaxxon is playing basket, too? Oh goodness! He is a basketball player and guess what? A captain! Bakit hindi niya kinuwento sa akin ito? Is he good at it?
He sneered, ignoring my amusement. "Matagal na akong tumigil sa paglalaro, James."
Napakamot-batok ang lalaki. "Ah.. oo nga pala, Jay. Sayang pero depende naman sa iyo iyan kung tutuloy ka pa."
He smiled. "No, I am busy. I have a lot of things to do. I'll try to catch up next time if we get back here. Pansamantala lamang kasi kaming nandito para sa proyekto ng girlfriend ko."
"Yes!" kantiyaw ng isa pa. "Alizeh Noelani Evans!" Ngumiti siya sa akin at nag-abot ng kamay. "I am a big fan of yours, miss! I bought some of your magazines! Ang ganda n'yo sa personal!"
Tumikhim si Jaxx. "Of course, she is."
Siniko ko siya at natatawang bumulong sa kaniya, "You jealous again, baby?"
"No," tipid niyang sabi at sinabayan pa iyon ng iling.
"I heard, miss, you haven't signed any contract on your station yet? Dahil ba iyon sa pagiging abala n'yo sa proyekto ninyo ngayon?" sunod-sunod na tanong ng lalaki sa akin.
I nodded slowly. "Yeah, but I still have a pending contract on modeling. I will sign another contract on my station.. maybe next time. I'll try because I am still torn between ending all my contracts then start on my own business or just continue my career."
"Huh? Bakit naman, miss? Sayang po ang career ninyo kung ganoon. Sikat na po kasi kayo, eh," sabi pa ng isa.
I sighed. "Hindi naman siya sayang para sa akin. In the end, it will be my choice and I wouldn't regret what will I choose. It's between my life and my career, eh."
Ngumiti lamang siya sa akin. "Respecting your decision na lang, miss. Huwag din kayong mag-alala, safe itong sinabi mo sa amin.. 'di 'to aabot sa media. Malakas itong si Jayjay sa amin, eh! Captain kaya 'to namin!"
I was so glad to hear that from them, they insisted that, I never asked them to keep that. Hindi nagtagal ang pakikipag-usap namin sa kanila dahil umalis din sila. Nagmamadali yata para sa game nila.
"Almost everyone here likes you, huh," puna ni Jaxx nang naglakad na ulit kami pauwi.
"What?" Kumunot ang noo ko sa kaniya. "What are you talking about, babe?"
"Sabi ko, lahat ng mga taga-rito ay gusto ka," ulit niya. "Alam mo ba na kapag lumalabas ako, maraming nagtatanong sa akin kung puwede ka bang lapitan?"
"What?" I chuckled. "At.. ano namang sinagot mo sa kanila?"
"I told them not to come near you," he said directly.
"Jaxxon, that was quite rude!" I stated. "I didn't know that you're rude sometimes, huh.."
"I am not, I just want them to understand that in Manila.. you cannot have your freedom there because people there are bugging you. Ayokong pati rito sa Cadiz Viejo ay mag-a-adjust ka na naman."
I smiled at him. That's what I noticed for the past few days. Kaya pala hanggang kaway at ngiti lang ang mga tao sa akin, hindi ako magawang malapitan para hindi ako guluhin. I just want to thank them for giving me the freedom that I want, however, I entered modeling and showbiz.. I should face the consequences. Hindi na kasalanan ng mga tao na alamin lahat ng tungkol sa akin o ungkatin ang mga bagay na tungkol sa akin dahil alam ko na ganito ang magiging kahinatnan ng pinasukan ko.
"You shouldn't tell them that, Jaxx," I said. "Hindi naman sila ganoon kagulo, actually.. they are nice and friendly so it was really okay with me if they come near me to ask me some questions or take some selfies with me or whatsoever."
Palubog na ang araw nang makauwi kami ni Jaxx sa bahay. Our six cats welcomed us home as we entered the house. Bumuntot kaagad silang lahat sa amin ni Jaxx. Sina lolo at lola ay kumakain na mang makapasok kami, ang ulam nila ay iyong garlic buttered shrimp. Lumapit kaagad kami pareho sa dalawang matanda at nagmano.
"Kumain na kami, hija, hijo, may ulam pang natira kaya kumain na rin kayo," ani lolo.
"Hindi na po, lo, may pupuntahan po kami ni Zani kaya ubusin n'yo na lang po ang ulam. Hindi n'yo po kailangang tipirin para sa amin," ani Jaxx.
"Huh? Pupuntahan, Jaxx? Kadarating lang natin, ah? May pupuntahan tayo? Saan?" I planted him some questions.
He smirked. "Aalis din tayo mamayamaya. Just get dressed up. Magbibihis din ako."
"Bakit? Saan ba tayo?" nagtataka kong tanong sa kaniya. "Are we going somewhere far? Jaxx, hindi natin puwedeng iwan na lang sina lolo at lola rito."
"Basta, Zani..."
"Pero---"
"Get inside your room now and change your clothes," he commanded. "Do you have a white dress?"
Napaisip pa ako roon. "Uhm.. I think.. yeah? Why? Iyon ba ang susuotin? Bakit ba, Jaxx? Saan ba talaga tayo pupunta para malaman ko kung ano ang susuotin ko?"
"Basta," matigas niyang sagot. "Just wear your white dress.. if you don't have one.. any kind of clothes but a white one."
"Bakit ba kasi?" I lost my patience now. "Jaxx, just tell me---"
"Basta nga, Zani, you'll see," he cut me out.
Pinukol ko siya ng masamang tingin bago nagpaalam sa kina lolo at lola na magbibihis na muna ako. I walked pass by Jaxxon and marched. Narinig ko pa ang tawa niya bago ko sunod na narinig ang tawa nina lolo at lola. I decided to go inside my room to change clothes.
Hinanap ko ang puting dress na naalala kong dala ko. I haven't worn this one. My brothers, Kuya Trevon and Kuya CJ, gave this dress to me as a gift on my last birthday. They said that I'll use this on a special occasion. I sighed because I didn't know where are we going. I wore the dress, it was a fitted dress. It fits my body and it shaped it very well. Sakto sa bawat parte ng katawan ko ang dress, para bang kinuha talaga ang sizes ko para sa dress na ito. It was above my knee and I can say that it really suits me. An off-shoulder fitted dress. There's no designs, it was all white.. plain white.
I decided to partner it with my stilettos. Tiningnan ko ang aking repleksyon sa salamin at nababagay rin naman ang aking stilettos sa suot kong damit. I even wore some accessories. I am already wearing a necklace from Jaxxon, he gave this to me last time. I wore a flowery gold bracelet on my wrist and long earrings on my ears. Based on my reflection in the mirror, I am plain and simple. However, simple is beautiful, right?
I took my phone out and took a photo of my reflection on the mirror. I immediately opened my facebook account and posted it on my wall. Few seconds ago, there were comments from my followers and some are from my classmates back when I was in college. I even posted on my myday the photo I have taken. One minute has passed, a message from my brother popped on my notification.
Treice Von Evans
What's the special occasion, Aliz?
Another message from my other brother popped again. I rolled my eyes because both of my brothers have the same questions. Yeah, they told me that I will wear this in a special occasion. I only read their messages, I didn't reply and just logged out.
I started preparing my makeup to wear when my phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and answered the call from my oldest brother, Kuya CJ.
"Good eve, kuya, why did you call?" bungad ko sa kaniya.
"You know why did I call, Aliz," he speculated. "Come on, tell me, baby.. What is the special occasion?"
"Wala naman, kuya," tipid kong sagot. "Sinuot ko lang itong dress kasi wala naman akong maisusuot na iba pang puting dress dito."
"Why white dress? For what? Are you going to attend a wedding?" he asks.
"I don't know with Jaxx, kuya, he just asked me to wear a white dress," I boredly explained.
"Maybe, he'll take you out?" tanong pa niya, hindi yata ako tantanan kung hindi ko sinasabi sa kaniya kung anong okasyon ngayon. "Or.." He intentionally did not continue what he was going to say.
"Or what?" I asked, a little bit irritated.
"Nothing," he simply said. "Anyway, how are you? We haven't communicated for a little while, I missed my sister. How are you there?"
"Ayos lang naman, kuya, you have nothing to worry about," I said.
"Oh, yeah, yeah.. I've already knew.. you are in the right hands," he stated. "By the way, he called me last time.."
"Huh?"
Nagulat ako roon. They are communicating with each other? Are they close? Wait.. I remember something.. kuya once said that Jaxxon's secret is safe with him! I still remember that! Ano'ng secret ni Jaxx ang sinasabi niya?
"Kuya---"
"You found out about his secret?" he cut me off.
"What?" Nalito na ako sa kapatid. "What's secret are you talking about, kuya?"
"About his relationship with your ex boyfriend? Drake Michael Suazon? Sabi niya, pumunta raw diyan ang ama niya kaya mo nalaman ang totoo?"
"So.." I licked my lips. "Alam mo na rin pala ang tungkol dito, kuya? Noon pa lang! Nakakainis kayo! Pinagkaisahan ninyo ako!" naiinis na bulyaw ko.
He chuckled on the other line.
"Relax, baby, I don't want to keep that from you but I respect his decision," aniya.
"Tsk," I tsk-ed and rolled my eyes. "Whatever, kuya. Bored ka ba ngayon kaya pinatagal mo itong pag-uusap natin sa tawag?" I just turned down the topic he brought up and changed it.
He laughed hard. "Of course not, baby. I really missed you. Nero missed you, too. Wala nang magbabantay sa anak namin ni Rai, Aliz.. wala nang yaya si Nero."
"Yaya ka riyan! What about Emeline? Siya ang tunay na yaya ni Nero!"
"Pa'no 'yan?" May bahid na panunukso pa ang tinig ni kuya. "Modelo at sikat na sikat pero yaya lang ni Nero? Pa'no na 'yan?"
"Kuya, naman! Nakakainis ka!" iritado kong sigaw sa kaniya sa tawag.
"Kidding aside," pagbabawi niya. "Ibaba ko na at baka ma-bad trip ka pa sa akin. Ingat ka sa kung saan ka pupunta. I love you."
"Okay, bye."
Ako na mismo ang nagbaba ng tawag kay kuya at tiningnan na lang muli ang sarili sa salamin. I have decided to apply some makeup on my face because I am really so plain. No matter how simple I am right now, I wanna be attractive somehow.
I started to apply a primer on my face and neck before applying the concealer next to cover my flaws on my face. I followed it with a foundation. I make an apple blushing cheeks, too, before applying lipstick and lip shiner on my lips. The next thing I did is to curl my eyelashes, and lastly.. I fixed my eyebrow. The last thing I did is to match my hairstyle with my outfit. Pinusod ko ang aking buhok dahil sa tingin ko ay iyon ang maganda.
Lumabas ako na ganoon ang ayos ko. Jaxxon is busy playing with the cats when I went out. Lolo and lola wasn't around anymore, maybe.. inside their room. Jaxxon slowly lifted his head when he felt my presence. His smile faded when he looked at me. He put down the cat before returning his eyes to me.
"Do I look all right?" I asked, sound excited.
He did not say anything, he just keep on staring at me like it was the first time he saw me.
"Jaxx.." I called him.
Napakurap-kurap siya at nilapitan ako. He immediately snaked his arm around me and kissed the top of my head.
"Sorry.. I can't stop staring at you.." he whispered.
"Let's go?" anyaya ko at pinasadahan siya ng tingin.
He's on his white polo partnered with a brown short. He's simple but he looks so damn attractive! Bakit ba kahit napaka-simple lang niya ay sobrang attractive na niya? Damn, if I could keep him inside my palm, I would do it! Parang ayaw kong may makakita sa kaniyang iba.
"Now tell me.. where are we going?" I asked.
He smirked. "You'll see.."
Ngumuso ako. "Why can't you tell me now?"
"Malalaman at makikita mo rin iyon mamaya," aniya, hindi nagpapatalo.
"But, Jaxx.."
I was cut off when he tilted his head to give me a peck on my lips. Ngumisi siya nang makita akong natigilan sa bigla niyang ginawa. He gave me another kiss again. Tumingkayad naman ako upang abutin pa ang kaniyang labi at idiin ang halik. Pinutol niya kaagad iyon.
"Let's go, magpaalam na tayo sa kina lola," anyaya niya matapos ang halik.
Matapos naming magpaalam sa kina lola ay tumulak na kami paalis. Jaxxon was busy driving using his one hand, his other hand is on my thigh. Hinayaan ko lang iyon doon habang pinagmamasdan siya na nagmamaneho.
"Saan ba talaga---"
Natigil ako sa pagtatanong nang makitang lumiko ang sasakyan patungo sa dagat. Nagtataka kong tiningnan si Jaxx pero masyado siyang abala sa pagmamaneho kaya hindi niya ako napansin. Tinigil niya na lang ang sasakyan sa tabi. Madilim ang paligid dahil gabi na at tanging buwan na lang ang nagsisilbing liwanag sa kapaligiran.
"Jaxx? Nagbihis ako nang ganito tapos dito lang pala ang punta natin?" iritado kong sabi pero hindi niya 'ko pinansin.
He went out from the car. Umikot siya at nakangiting pinagbuksan ako ng pinto. Umirap ako at lumabas, nilampasan ko siya. Pinatunog niya naman ang sasakyan, hudyat na ni-lock niya iyon. Patay na rin ang mga ilaw sa mga bahay nang mamataan ko iyon. Hindi ko alam kung bakit maagang natulog ngayon ang mga tao.
"J-Jaxx---"
"Come here.."
Iginiya ako ni Jaxx sa isang tabi at bahagya akong natulos sa kinatatayuan ko nang pinaharap niya ako sa may bandang dagat. Napakurap-kurap ako. I couldn't say a word now, utter a word, say something, or what. Something suddenly lumped in my throat. There was a small table near the sea and under the moon. Two chairs are across with each other and there is a big candle in the center of the table. I lost my voice now. I don't know what to say.
"Uhm.. nagpatulong lang ako uh.. sa kina Gregor at Reeve.."
"T-They're here?" gulat kong sabi.
Nag-aalinlangan pa siyang tumango. "Uh.. yeah.. si Rios lang ang hindi umuwi. He's busy in Manila.."
Tumango ako at manghang tumingin sa hinanda niya para sa gabing ito. I felt my heart skipped. It feels like a fantasy, it feels like I am inside my dream now. I wanna slap my face and tell to myself that this is true! Jaxxon is real and he is true!
Pakiramdam ko ay naiiyak na ako ngayon sa sobrang saya at sobrang gaan sa aking dibdib ngayon. I'm quite surprised. I couldn't contain the happiness I felt right now. Bakit ganoon? Bakit kahit simple lang ay sobrang saya ko na ngayon?
Pinakita ko sa kaniya ang mga pangit na ugali ko noon pa man, pinakita ko sa kaniya ang pagiging childish ko, at pinakita ko sa kaniya kung sino talaga ako, pero mas pinili niyang manatili sa tabi ko sa kabila man ng kasamaan ko. He stays despite of my flaws. He accepted my behavior, my attitude, my personality, and everything about me. He accepted who I really am. He's being patient with me.. and now.. he makes me feel the happiest woman in this world.
"I-I hate you.." I mumbled. "I hate you for making me feel this way, Jaxx.."
I almost cried while I said those. My eyes are starting to water. I reached for his neck and encircled my arms there. Tumingkayad ako at hinalikan siya sa kaniyang labi. Tinugunan niya kaagad ang halik kong iyon at hinaplos ang aking baywang bago niya pinutol ang halik at binitiwan ako.
"I love you.." he whispered and kissed the tip of my nose. "You're so beautiful tonight..."
Lumapit kami sa lamesa at pinaghilahan niya pa ako ng upuan. I sat down there and wait for him to sit on the other side but he did not, instead he get something under the table. May nilabas siya roong gitara. My eyes widened in surprised when he bent in one knee in front of me. I gasped and covered my mouth with my palms.
"Love of a lifetime," he started. "Your favorite song... Will you let me sing it for you?"
I couldn't nod my head, my tears fell down while looking at him. He started strumming the guitar while staring at me. Nakaangat ang tingin niya sa akin ngayon habang nakaluhod siya sa aking harapan.
"With you I never wonder
Will you be there for me?
With you I never wonder
You're the right one for me..."
When he's finally on the chorus.. he stopped. Binaba niya ang gitara pero nanatili pa rin ang kaniyang mga mata sa akin. At this moment, I couldn't do anything but to stare back at his beautiful gray eyes. I can feel the butterflies in my stomach of the way he stared at me.. like I am the only woman in this planet.
"J-Jaxx.."
Umawang ang bibig ko nang may nilabas siya sa kaniyang bulsa. Napatayo na ako sa gulat habang nakatingala pa rin siya sa akin, namumungay ang mga mata. Mabilis ang kabog ng aking dibdib, na parang pinaghalong saya at kaba. Hindi niya pa binubuksan ang hawak na kahon ay bumuhos na ang mga luha ko.
"Oh my God!" I exclaimed. "J-Jaxx.. don't tell me.."
"Please.. I am begging you," he begged. "Please, marry me.. Alizeh Noelani Evans.. please marry me.." he keeps on pleading.
"Oh!" I gasped when he slowly opened the box, exposing the ring inside. "Jaxx, oh God.."
"Please, Zani.. let us get married, please," he pleaded again.
"O-Of course!" Pumiyok na ang boses ko nang sumagot. "I will, Jaxx! I want to marry you! Who wouldn't, Jaxx?"
"God.." bulong niya at pinadausdos ang singsing sa aking daliri.
Tumayo siya at mahigpit na niyakap ako. I hugged him back as my tears are keep on streaming down on my cheeks. Kumalas siya sa yakap sa akin at inangat ang tingin sa kalangitan.
"Yes, God! Thank you! Thank you so much! With you, nothing is impossible!" he praised.
Muli niya akong niyakap at pinatakan ng halik sa aking labi. I smiled and caressed his cheeks. Nahaplos ko pa ang mga luha sa kaniyang pisngi. He cried! He cried for me! Ang kaniyang mainit na luha ay patuloy pa rin sa pag-agos, parang gripo iyon na walang tigil. Kinuha ko sa kaniyang kamay ang isa pang singsing at sinuot ko iyon sa daliri niya. He let me do it while planting some kissing on my face.
"Mahal na mahal kita, Zani, mahal kita palagi.." he whispered. "Hindi mo alam kung paano mo 'ko pinasaya ngayon.. hindi mo alam." Bumasag ang kaniyang boses sa huling sinabi.
Jaxxon is always being loving to me. He really appreciated my existence. I love the way he treats me, I love the way he values me. I had an horror of my past but he made me feel that it doesn't matter because all that matters now are the present. For me, Jaxxon is better than any man. I never been treated like this before. I've never been treated like how he treats me now. He gave me the value that I want, he almost reaches the sky for me. I finally have the man of my dreams, and this is all I want.. I am contented and satisfied with him. He's the only one that I want.. the only one that I need in my life.
"Everything about you are my weaknesses, bombshell," he whispered and crouched a bit to kiss me on my lips. "I feel so weak now because you make me this happy."
