Chapter 53: Sleep
I just stared at him for a while. His eyes were still the same, naghahanap at nagtatanong.
I honestly don’t know how to answer him or what to answer. Dahil maging ako ay ganoon din ang tanong sa sarili.
Why did I come back here? Sa lahat ng puwede kong puntahan, bakit dito?
Bumuntong hininga ako at nagpasyang magsabi na lang ng totoo. I don’t feel safe at my condominium. I could just tell him that. There’s no need to elaborate the details. Kung ano ang mayroon at kung ano ang nangyari.
“MJ...” he called me. God, I missed him so much.
“Why didn’t you pick me up before the dinner? Why didn’t you attend?” I asked him.
It wasn’t what I planned to ask or to tell him. Hindi iyon, at hindi ko alam kung bakit iyon ang lumabas sa aking bibig. Maybe... at some point, I also wanted to know his reason for that. When I saw him outside our house, I was able to confirm my thoughts from a while ago when Baron picked me up instead of him.

“You should go now. Okay na ako rito...” He looked at me, his eyes almost pleading. Pagkahatid niya sa akin sa kumpanya ay akala ko aalis na siya pero talagang sumunod pa siya sa akin hanggang sa opisina ko. He didn’t want to leave. Pero hindi naman iyon puwede dahil may trabaho rin siya. “Are you sure you don’t want me to stay instead? I can take a dayoff again and stay here with you—” “I’ll be fine, Zachary...” He almost shifted on his seat when he heard me say his name. He softly cleared his throat and his reaction made my heart run wild. Saying his name out loud makes my heart feel tingly. I missed this. I wish we could stay like this for a lifetime. “I honestly don’t feel like working. I should just stay here and wait for you to finish your work,” pagpupumilit niya. “Dr. Ricaforte...” I warned him. Agad siyang tumayo at dumiretso sa pintuan ng office ko. “On second thought, I really should go...” he quickly y

“You should sleep some more. You’re tired…” Zachary caressed my hair softly. He gently kissed the side of my head before pulling himself away from the embrace. But before he could do that, I pulled him more to me, closing the distance between us once more. I hugged him once again. “You really deserve better, Zachary…” I whispered as I buried myself to him, inhaling his familiar scent. “But I just can’t seem to let you go, no matter how hard I tried to push you away.” My voice softened more and was almost inaudible when I finally confessed that. May parte sa akin na umasang sana hindi niya iyon narinig pero alam kong sa kawalan ng distansya sa pagitan namin, maririnig at maririnig niya iyon kahit gaano pa kahina. “It’s because you’re in love with me, that’s why…” he chuckled softly and hugged me even more. “I know. I feel it. You love me.” He kissed my forehead and made me look at him. Kitang kita ko ang pagmamahal at pagsusumamo sa mga mata ni

We were both panting after doing a lot of make love rounds. My body was already exhausted even before we stopped but I just couldn’t get enough of him. I was lying on top of him, still panting. I also could feel his heavy breathing. Nakayakap siya sa akin habang marahang nilalaro ang dulo ng buhok ko. “Thank you…” he whispered. “For coming back to me.” I looked at him and kissed him again on his lips. I licked his lips and urged him to open up for my tongue. I kissed every corner of his mouth and he did the same. “We should shower and eat breakfast.” I chuckled after our kissing. Tumango siya at bumangon sa pagkakahiga, dala dala ako. Then he lifted me up and carried me all the way to my bathroom. Pagkatapos naming maligo ay dumiretso na kami sa baba para magluto at kumain ng breakfast. Zachary was busy cooking some fried rice with spam and egg. Nagluto rin siya na hiwalay naman ang spam at egg sa fried rice. After cooking, he placed t

We arrived at the airport. Kinuha ni Zachary ang mga gamit namin bago kami lumabas. There was an SUV waiting for us outside and we immediately hopped in.Tahimik kaming dalawa sa byahe. It was probably because of what we discussed back in the plane. We talked about my parents and his family. I told him that there was something I still wasn’t telling him. He respects everything. Ang galit ko sa kaniyang ama. Ang gulo sa isip ko tungkol sa mga hindi ko sinasabi sa kaniya. He respects my pace. He respects me.I don’t really know if I should allow myself to be this dependent on him. He’s not asking anything in return. It was so natural to him. Ang pakisamahan ako. Ang intindihin ako. Our differences were mode defined this time. I felt like I’m taking him for granted. No… I really am taking him for granted.Simula pa noon lagi niya na akong iniintindi. He was so good at putting up with me and my shortcomings. I was so high-maintenance I

“Are you sure you’re okay now? We can visit them tomorrow instead,” Zachary said as he helped me get inside our car, his voice like a fire that calms my soul in the midst of a cold winter. It was enough to soothe my heart. More than enough. “I’m okay. Let’s just go.” I smiled to assure him that I’m really fine. Habang walang tigil ang pag-iyak at paghikbi ko kanina sa office ng Daddy ko, Zachary was just there embracing me. He was like a soft pair of large wings that protects me from pain. And I realized that I became more and more dependent of him. I really have no idea if it’s a good thing or bad one. For once, I wanted time to stop. I wanted to stay in that moment. To keep him close to me. Before closing the door on my side, Zachary leaned down to touch my cheek, caressing them. He was looking at me with so much affection in his eyes I couldn’t help but want to drown in them. Pinagmasdan niya lang ako at hinayaan ko siya. I held his gaze as

“We can stay here for a few minutes more if you want…” Zachary said as he held my hand with his.Pinagmamasdan niya lang ako ngayon habang nakatingin pa rin ako sa puntod ng mga magulang ako. Ngumiti ako at bumaling sa kaniya. Then I shook my head a little.“I already told them what I wanted to say. We can go now. I want to rest,” sabi ko.Tumango siya at mas hinigpitan ang hawak sa kamay ko.I feel so lucky to have him beside me. When he hugged me, I felt safe and comfortable, I never want to let go.When my parents died, I never experienced such a comforting love again. But with Zachary, I knew it was more than that. It was more than the love I felt when my family was still complete. Kahit ramdam ko ang kulang dahil sa pagkawala ng mga magulang ko, Zachary was able to easily fill its gaps with his gentleness.The day was over before we even knew it. Zachary and I rested the whole night and slept peacefully. I

[ Zachary’s Point of View; A Flashback ] I was there when my sister died. I failed to notice her struggle and pain because I was too busy studying so I could gain our father’s approval. My little sister, Zoe, was my comfort. The very reason why I wanted to become a doctor. I wanted to cure her illness. But before I could even do that, she died. And it was because of my own negligence. “I’ve had enough of your defiance, Zachary. For once, I need you to do as I say. Marry the woman I want for you and I will let you continue your career. Defy me, and I will do everything in my power so you can never set foot in the medical field again!” That was my father’s bargain when I first told him that I would still continue my residency and my research. I didn’t want that. All of my life, I tried everything to make him proud. Even if it’s not from the field he wanted for me. I thought that if I became the best in my field, he would finally acknowledge all

“You can’t hear me?” Zachary said something again but I couldn’t understand it. Hindi ko iyon marinig. His lips were moving and I knew that he was speaking. Pero hindi ko iyon marinig. My ears are acting up again. It has been a while since something like this happened. I thought I would be okay but I was wrong. I forgot that I wasn’t fully healed yet. And now, it’s starting again. “What are you saying?” I asked despite not being able to hear what I said. “I’m sorry, my ears. I can’t hear...” I could feel my lips trembling. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin. I didn’t bring my hearing aids. Zachary came to me. Lumuhod siya sa harap ko. His eyes were worried and bloodshot. He looked like he’s pitying me. I suddenly felt awful. “I’ll rest now. I wanna be alone while I rest. You can sleep in the guestroom,” I told him. “MJ...” I read the movement of his lips. He was close to me which was why I was able to understand what he said. “I can’t leave you alone. Why are you asking me to leave you?
