Yanna's POV
"Yanna, I love you so much. You know that, don't you?" He asked.
I nodded to him.
"Yanna I love you but let's separate," he said causing me to stop.
I don't know if what I heard is right. I don't want what he said to sink into my brain or I just don't want to accept that I heard right.
"What ?!"
"No, Baby. Please, don't speak first."
"What are you saying?" I asked him annoyed.
"Yanna, let's separate please." He said reason for me to look straight into his eyes.
"No!" I said emphatically.
"Don't be stubborn Head, Yanna." He said reason for me to feel annoyed.
"I'm not stubborn, Jabez. I won't break up with you, Never. What did you think to get that into your mind Ha ?!"
It didn't move and he turned to me and stared into my eyes.
"Yanna, I'm letting you go."
"Letting me go? Why? Why are you letting me go, I didn't ask you for that, did I?" I said tearfully.
"Yanna, let's separate please?"
"Jabez naman eh !!" I said as my tears flowed. "Why do you want to be separated from me. I thought you loved me ?! But why are you separating?"
"Let's split up, Yanna. Please,"
"Jabez I love you."
"I know," he said softly.
"Why are we going to break up?" I seriously asked him.
"Because you love him more."
I was silent for a moment, I could not open my mouth.
"So Yanna, let's split up."
"I love you so much, Jabez. Then all of a sudden you're going to break up with me? You'll suddenly let me go. Why? I didn't ask you for that, did I? But why?" Next I asked him.
"Yanna, you love me and I know that. I feel that. But Baby, your love for me was not like that before. Kalix is the one you love, Yanna. What if you really love me but that love is as Just a friend. So Yanna, I'm letting you go. "
I looked him straight in the eye. "I will not be separated from you, Jabez." My stubbornness.
"Yanna, I'm sorry." He said the reason for my tears to suddenly drip.
Tears indicate how I feel, which will describe the pain I feel.
"When are we going to celibrate the 5th anniversary and now you are going to be separated? Jabez, think carefully first. Do not leave me oh, Do not be separated from me." I pity him.
"Yanna, let's meet later at the resto near HU. Let's celebrate our anniversary first before we separate," he said leaving me alone.
My tears kept falling.
"The pain, the pain pain." Crying I said while holding my chest.
****
He hugged me from behind.
I want to cry but I can't, I want to be happy with the rest of our time together.
I felt him smile, I would have stood up but he tightened his hug even more so I could not move.
"Here you are next to me, Please." He said softly causing me to nod.
"Okay," I answered sparingly to him.
I just enjoy the day when the two of us are still together because I know that after this day we will separate, so I will make the most of the day I am still with him. I try not to be sad because I know that after that I will cry again.
He let go of my hug and sat down in front of me.
He looked me straight in the eye.
"You're singing," he said suddenly.
"I don't want to," I insisted.
"Sing please," he begged. "Baby go ahead,"
I nodded.
'If you are not the only reason, will my heart be forced not to be hurt 🎶'
'If not you, just don't. I will turn to hope for the two of us 🎶 '
'It's cold and I can't move, it's hard for the heart to force you 🎶'
If we are not in the end, will we be able to fall in love again. If we do not in the end will my heart be broken I will love you 🎶 '
"I love you," he said softly.
He approached me to kiss me on the forehead, my tears suddenly dripped because of what he did.
We both had a deep rest when we were separated, he smiled at me even though he was sad and that smile just hurt.
It is no longer like his smile of love and joy.
He looked at the clock again and saw that it was past twelve, he averted his eyes from me and took his bag before he left the resto and left me alone there.
When I did not know what to do ...
I did nothing but remember what happened then.
FLASHBACK ....
Jabez is in front of me now, He is very drunk.
But I know even if he is drunk, he knows what he is doing.
He also has control over himself.
"Jabez, what's your problem so you drink?" Disgusted I asked him reason for him to look at me.
"You still really love him," he said, causing me to look back at him.
"What are you talking about?" I seriously asked him.
"Yanna, please stop pretending. I know you know what I am referring to," he replied annoyed. "You still love him, don't you? You still love Kalix, don't you?" He said that was the reason I was stopped.
"Jabez ..."
"Answer my question. Do you still love him?" He asked again while looking straight into my eyes.
"Yanna, please answer me."
Suddenly I fell silent, I could not speak. I can't answer his question.
"I knew it, you still love him." He said as if in pain.
"Jabez ..." I mentioned his name.
"I want you, Yanna. I've always wanted you." He said while looking straight into my eyes.
"Jabez, You're just drunk ..." I changed the subject.
"Yanna," he said as he took my hand and looked me straight in the eye. "Promise me, Baby."
"Promise what?" I asked in astonishment.
"Promise when you are with the man you will love forever, you will continue to love him even though you know you are hurting someone."
"Why are you saying that, Jabez?" I seriously asked him.
"Because I don't want to see you sad."
"Rest, Jabez."
"Promise me, Yanna."
"Take a break," I said.
I got up from sitting next to him and went out of that room.
NEXT DAY ...
I'm in the house and I'm looking for Denzel.
Where is that man?
"Kuya Denzel !!" I shouted as I walked home.
"What ?!" This answer is irritating.
As soon as he entered the house, Jabez followed him.
"Where are you from, Aber?" I shouted as a reason for Jabez and akbayan to approach me.
"Missed me?" He smiled at the question that caused me to look at him and remove his hug from me.
"Miss your face!" I irritate the answer.
"Did you have a visit, Yanna?" My brother asked why I was staring at him.
"No! Where did you come from ?! When you were a woman?" I asked annoyed here.
"No, As if." Jabez answered suddenly.
I caught Denzel grinning.
"What are you grinning about, Kuya?" I'm still insulting my twin.
"Lyanna Mae Jarsdel, Early in the morning you are naughty. I hate you," he said.
I rolled my eyes.
"Hey Jabez," I shouted at Jabez.
He looked at me.
"Oh?"
"Did you know you were drunk yesterday? Why did you drink? Do you know what you were saying last night," I said angrily to him.
"What I told you last night, that's true. There are no jokes," he said as a reason to stop me.
"What did Jabez tell you?" Kuya suddenly groaned.
"Nothing!" I said tska hurriedly left in front of the two of them.
END OF FLASHBACK
I hope I can go back to the past, so that what happened today does not happen. I want to change my future.
I want to have a future with you, My love ....
But that seems impossible to happen.
Rhea's POV
"Rhea,"
I looked at him.
"Why ??" I asked without emotion.
"Do you still like me?" He asked me a serious question.
"Ha? What p-are you saying,"
"Do you still like me?" He asked while looking straight into my eyes.
"Huh?"
"Do you still like me, Rhea? Let me know."
"When I say I still like you, do you still like me?" I asked.
"Just tell me, if you still love me. If you still love me,"
"Yes I want you, Okay ?! Kairon, I still want you. I still want you and yes I still love you. But I can't. I know why? Because I don't want to be hurt anymore, I don't want you to fool me again. I don't want to hurt you again I am because of you. " None of my own answer, And little by little tears rolled down my cheeks.
He was silent.
"If you hadn't fooled me, if you hadn't cheated on me, we would have been together, right? But nothing, you cheated. You cheated on me, Kairon." I bit my lip. "You cheated on me on our anniversary day,"
"I'm sorry .."
I shook. "There's nothing you can do sorry, Kairon. You can't erase and you can't correct your guilt by apologizing, it just erases anger."
"I'm sorry,"
"If you hadn't cheated on me, I wish we were still together. I wish we were both happy, right? But nothing, you cheated on me. You cheated,"
"Rhea, I know. I know I'm wrong, because I cheated on you. I cheated, I became a woman while we were still together. So I'm sorry," He said.
I stare at him.
"Can we still?" He asked while looking straight into my eyes.
"I can't because it hurts too much, Kairon. I still want you case, I still love you but I can't give you a chance,"
"Can we still? Can we still get back together?" Hoping he whispered.
"No." I said while shaking my head. "I do not know,"
"Rhea, we can still be if we want to."
"Kairon, please. Stop it, that's enough." I said while looking straight into his eyes.
"Do you want anything else ??" He asked seriously while looking into my eyes.
"No, I don't want anything else. Okay?"
"But why don't you want to?"
"Because I've been hurt so much, Kairon. You've hurt me too much. And I'm afraid to give you a chance because I'm afraid you might hurt me again, I can't." I said and slowly burst into tears.
"You can no longer, Yung Ano? Yung ano Rhea?"
"Rhea" He said as he held my hand.
"What, Rhea. I can't do that anymore ?!"
"I can't do it anymore, Kairon!" I answered his question quickly. "I can no longer bear the pain I feel, the pain I feel because of you" I said as I slowly left in front of him.
*****
I looked at Yanna and Kalix side by side, and my gaze went to their intertwined hands.
Yanna caught me looking at her hand and Kalix's hand holding each other.
"Rhea."
I looked at her. "Hmm?"
"Is there a problem?" She asked.
I shook. "You again?"
It nodded in response. "Yes,"
"Sana laha-" I smiled before continuing to speak. "I mean, Stay strong."
"I hope so?" She repeat what i said. "Why don't you and Kairon just come back? I know you love each other very much,"
I sighed. "It wasn't that easy, Yanna. I was so hurt by what he did, he cheated. He cheated on me,"
"I know. Yes, Kairon cheated on you, my boy bestfriend cheated on you. But Rhea, he regrets what he did to you. He loves you, dearly. Give him another chance, he deserves a second chance. I know he is learning That, that man agreed because of what happened to you two. He has changed, Rhea. "
"Here we are again with the word that has changed, I heard it a few times. I will not believe you there, Yanna. You know why? When you first said that he had changed, I believed. But what? He cheated. me. When she was still a woman, "I told her emphatically.
:)
Kairon's POV
When I met Rhea I immediately grabbed her arm causing her to stop and look away.
She looked at my hand.
"Rhea, let's talk." I said seriously.
She looked at me. "Talk about what? About cheating?"
"No." I answered quickly.
"So what?" I looked at her. "Do you want to come back to me?"
"Yes, Rhea."
She raised an eyebrow as she looked at me. "So?"
"I love you, Rhea. I love you so much," I told her while looking straight into her eyes.
"Dear? You love me but you managed to fool me." She smiled. "Aren't you good?"
"Rhea ..."
"Let go of my arm, you were holding it earlier." Raised an eyebrow she said.
When I noticed that, I immediately removed my hand from holding her arm.
"Rhea .."
She looked at me. "What do you want ?!"
"Give me another chance," I said while looking straight into her eyes.
"Do you deserve it? I don't think so, Kairon. I don't want to be hurt, I don't want to be fooled. Do you know the word Once a cheater, always a cheater?" She said while looking at my eyes. "You'll cheat again, you'll hurt me again."
"Rhea, I didn't mean to." I quickly told her.
She looked away.
"So I also didn't mean to fall for you, I also didn't mean to answer you before." she said quickly before looking at me again.
"Don't be like that, Rhea. I'm hurt," I said softly to her.
"Maybe I'm hurting more, and I'm the one hurting more than the two of us. You cheated on our relationship, so you cheated on me too." She said. "I loved you, Kairon. I love you but why does that not seem to be enough, so you fooled. You fooled me,"
"Rhea, I'm sorry for what I did. I regret what I did,"
"It's good that you're sorry, Kairon. I thought you were happy, you're glad that you were fooled again. That you were hurt again," She said. "Then when another woman falls into your trap, you're happy. Why? Because you know your movements work."
"Rhea, Stop it." I said emphatically.
"Then stop too. Leave me alone, Kairon. Can I?" she said seriously.
"You don't love me anymore?" i asked.
"I love you but that's right, I don't want you to hurt me again. I don't want you to fool me again. Once is enough, Kairon." she said.
I hold her hands. "Rhea, please. I'm begging you,"
"Is that okay?" she said seriously while looking straight into my eyes. "That's enough, Kairon. Stop it,"
"No." My stubbornness. "I love you, Rhea. It's not that easy to accept that you don't want to,"
"It's not that easy to accept that you cheated on me." She said emphatically and seriously. "It's not that easy to train myself without you,"
"We can be together again, can't we?" I asked her.
"It's not that easy, Kairon." She pointed to where his heart was. "It hurts, Kai. The pain here, The pain hurts."
I pulled her then I hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, Rhea."
"B-let me go," I heard her whisper. "Release me, Kairon."
"No." I said and tightened my grip on her. "I will not let you go, I will not let you go."
"Eat, that's enough. Please ..."
"No."
"Let go, Kai. Please, I don't want to be hurt anymore. Stay away from me."
"No." My stubbornness.
"You're just hurting me more, Kai. So please, that's enough. Stop it, stay away from me." He felt sorry for her. "If you love me, you will let me. You will let me go, you will let me lose you so that I can be the right person."
"Rhea, you are the right person for me." I whispered to him. "You are the only one I want, you are the only one I want to be the mother of my future children. You are the only one I want to marry, you are the only Rhea," I whispered in her ear.
"Kairon ... Let me go,"
"No, I just want us to be like this. Let me do what I want, even now."
She stopped talking and just let me hug her.
"I love you so much ...." I whispered to him. "I'm sorry for what I did, I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry I cheated on you, I'm sorry."
"Kairon, please. Your apology is enough, I don't want to hear that sorry. I feel more pain,"
"Love, I will continue to apologize until you forgive me. I will never tire of saying I love you, and I will never tire of apologizing until you forgive me for what I did." I said.
"I know my idiot because I hurt and cheated on the woman who loved me, who loved me so much. I know I was an idiot because I did that," I sighed. "I'm sorry, Rhea. I hope you can forgive me, I hope you give me a second chance."
"Kairon ..."
"Shhh ... Don't say anything, just listen to me." I whispered to her.
"Rhea, You alone. You are the only one I love, you are the only one I want to be with for the rest of my life, you are the only one I want to be the mother of my future children. Only you, Rhea. Only you and you,"
"Kairon ...."
"Shhh,"
"I will never tire of apologizing to you until you have forgiven me. I will do everything for you, Rhea."
"So let me go ...." She said.
"Besides that, Rhea. I will never let you disappear from me, I will not let you get someone else. I just want you, Rhea. Selfish if selfish, but Rhea I just want you."
"I want you alone, you are the only woman I can be with forever. I love you so much, Rhea. You are the only one to the end, you and you alone. I told him seriously.
"Kairon ..."
"You love me too, don't you? Because if I were asked, I would say I love you so much."
