Gerald: Are you alright?

Kim: (just nod) Ge, kailan mo nalaman na (bit shy to asked)

Gerald: na mahal kita?

Kim: Ya

Gerald: Ikaw, kailan mo nalaman?

Kim: I asked you first so you have to answer first.

Gerald: (smiled and kissed her shoulder, a kiss that gives her shiver) are you cold?

Kim: No, I’m fine at nandiyan ka naman to keep me warm.

Gerald: I’m glad I am to hear that.

Kim: Don’t be smart , huwag mong ibahin ang usapan.

Gerald: Kailan ba? I guess noon pa mahal na kita. I just don’t know about it. All I know was that Masaya ako pagkasama kita. Don’t know pero iba pag ikaw ang kasama ko . Remember before halos everyday magkasama tayo, ang saya saya natin noon.

Kim: (Smiled with the memory )Oo nga, napaka possessive mo nga noon eh, ni ayaw mong mapalapit ako sa ibang guys.

Gerald: Dahil alam ko naming may gusto ang mga mokong na iyon sa iyo.

Kim: Kung gusto mo na ako noon, bakit niligawan mo si Nina instead na ako?

Gerald: I don’t have intension to court her pero dahil na rin saiyo.

Kim: Dahil sa akin?

Gerald: I’m just being friendly to her at first kasi nga baguhan siya sa atin that’s why I said I can show her around but I am thinking na Siyempre kasama ka then biglang umiiwas ka. Palaging wala ka or busy kaya hindi ka makakasama.

Kim:Kasi naman palagi na lang siya ang bukang bibig mo, na kesyo maganda siya, lady like kung kumilos not like me.

Gerald: I just want to see your reaction kung nagseselos ka but you never shown any sign at all.

Kim: Alam mo ba kong gaano ako ka insecure kay Nina? Na ang feeling ko ang pangit pangit ko compare sa kanya.

Gerald: I’m sorry Kim, kung alam mo lang na ikaw ang gusto kong makasama at that time. Then mas lalo tayong naging malayo noong mag college na ako at iyon hindi ko alam lumipat na kayo sa Cebu.

Kim: Kung talagang mahal mo ako that time bakit hindi ka man lang nag effort para makausap ako.

Gerald: Hindi ko alam, siguro dahil gago ako mas pinairal ko ang pride but you know what when I saw you in the church during my supposedly wedding, hindi ko maipaliwanag ang naramdaman ko.Masaya ako at nakita uli kita but I’m angry as well dahil bakit ngayon ka lang nagpakita uli and that moment I wish sana hindi matuloy ang kasal ko . Alam mo ba kung anong feeling ko nang sabihin ng Mama ni Nina na hindi matutuloy ang kasal?

Kim: Ano?

Gerald: Relieved and guilty. Guilty kasi all the people sympathy is with me akala nila ako iyong victim not knowing na deep inside of me nagpapasalamat at hindi natuloy ang kasal ko.

Kim: Eh bakit galit ka sa akin? Remember sa may lumang bahay?

Gerald: Feeling guilty pa ako at that time at alam ko naming naaawa ka lang sa akin.

Kim: Eh bakit galit ka noong ikasal tayo?

Gerald: Galit ako dahil hindi ako binigyan ng pagkakataon na ligawan ka at that time I said I want to take time, for us to get to know each other again but then may ibang plano para sa atin. I guess were destined for each other. Kung ano man ang nangyari that night siguro kagustuhan na rin ng diyos. Ikaw kailan mo nalaman na mahal mo ako?

KimLturn around to face him then caressed his face) Ang manhid manhid mo kasi.

Gerald: Ako manhid?

Kim: Anong akala mo bakit ako umiiwas sainyo ni Nina noon , bakit ayaw kong sumama sa mga lakad ninyo?

Gerald: Mahal mo na ako noon?

Kim: Nasasaktan ako pag nakikita ko kayong dalawa, nagseselos ako dahil mahal na kita noon.

Gerald: all this time, ang dami nating sinayang na time para magkasama tayo.

Kim: At least ngayon alam na natin and we have all the time para palitan ang mga masamang alaala.

Gerald: I love you so much Kim. I never felt this way before saiyo lang. Promised me na kung may gusto kang malaman just ask okey, just promised that this time we will be honest to each other.

Kim: I love you too and I promised. Siya nga pala paano iyong mga naiwan mo sa Palawan?

Gerald: huwag kang mag alala nandoon si Fred ngayon to settled everything.

Kim: Kawawa naman si Fred.

Gerald: Remind me to thank him again, I just really need to see you at once. Alam mo bang hindi ako nakatulog buong gabi. Kung alam mo lang kung gaano mo ako tinorture, kaya humanda ka .

Kim: Ano bang gusto mo para makabayad ako, iyong ganito(kissed hi on his lips and when Gerald starts to kiss her back she stopped it )

Gerald: Kim?

Kim: (laughing) Or you want this (kissed him on his chest) .

Gerald: (rolled to his back, bringing her on top of him)

Kim: (she gasped at the sudden movement, laid her palms flat on his chest to steady herself then started to kissed him again)

Gerald: I liked it when your in control babe.

Kim: (just the thought that Gerald love her makes her bolder not to mentioned the rough feel of his palms on her bottom stirred the heat in her blood)

Gerald: What’s wrong babe? Why you stopped?

Kim: Just as I want you babe but I’m starving with food and I know hindi ka pa rin kumain.

Gerald: I’d rather have you than food, about to start to kiss her again.

Kim: (stand up)

Gerald: What are you doing? Come back here.

Kim: (laughing while putting Gerald’s polo) common lets eat first, promised I will make up to you later on.

Gerald: (just stare at her)

Kim: What?

Gerald: You look y with my shirt. Hindi ko alam tuloy kung ano ang mas gusto ko . If I want you or with my shirt on you.

Kim: Tumigil ka na sa kabobola mo kasi wala kang mapapala dahil talagang gutom ako. Common lets go to the kitchen.

Gerald: Okey okey, I will be there. Mauna ka na at dalian mo para makarami tayo mamaya.

Kim was reaching something when Gerald came to the kitchen and with his polo on her every time she reached to the cabinet tumataas din ang kanyang damit.

Gerald: I like the view here sweetheart (embraced her from behind) You know what you can wear my shirt every time na nasa bahay tayo.

Kim: sira ulo, upo ka na at kakain na tayo.

Gerald: Kasi naman iba ang gusto kong kainin.

Kim: Behave, gutom na talaga ako.

Gerald: Sige na nga. I guess kailangan natin ng energy para mamaya.

Kim: Aha anong mamaya?

Gerald: I intend to show you how much I love you even it takes us all night.

Kim: Parang kinakabahan ako.

Gerald: No need to worry coz’ I promised paliligayahin kita (kissed her again before sitting)
