Chapter 31

When our fourth anniversary came, I celebrated it alone. I prepared a simple dinner date for myself on the shore while watching the sunset. Ate Chantal made it just exclusive for me.

And I must tell you that it was such a bittersweet moment. Mukha akong tangang umiiyak habang inaalala ang tatlong taon naming pagsasama. Kahit hindi naging maayos ang takbo ng relasyon namin, hindi ko rin maitatangging naging masaya ako habang kapiling siya.

Naalala ko pa iyong halos isumpa niya ako dahil ayaw niyang matali sa akin pero wala pang dalawang buwan ng pagsasama ay dinala niya ako sa bagong bahay na ipinagawa niya na para sa aming dalawa talaga. Iyong mga panahong sinasabi kong gusto kong magpagupit ng buhok pero nagagalit siya sa akin dahil mas gusto niya raw itong mahaba.

The way he took me gently while we were having sex, consistently kissed my forehead and wearing my clothes back after the deed. Even the fact that he memorized the small details about what was my favorites and what's not.
