Novel & Cerita Everything I Know About Love

Mahirap na Ilang beses na ako nagtiwala Ilang beses akong nagmahal nang buong buo Pero sa huli, nasaktan lang ako I mean, normal din naman na masaktan ka sa pag-ibig… Because love is not about the sweetness. It’s a pandora box of emotions and struggles. But my last relationship cost me a lot I sighed and looked at the window watching the drizzle fall down as the wind blew. If I can only turn back time, maybe these wounds will disappear. I already learned my lesson but the scars still give me fear and doubt.

Exited kong sabi. "I love you..." He whispered that's make me smiled and I can feel my cheeks getting hot. "And I love you too," I sweetly answer, he smiled forcely that's make my forehead knotted. "Love, I want you to know that I feel in love on you hard. I love you so much, I can't explain how much I love, there is no words to describe how I do. I love you so much and I want to tell you this cause I don't want to lie, I don't want to keep this secret, it's really hard for me, damn!"

“That I will love you genuinely despite what you did?” Parang tinutusok ng milyon-milyong karayom ang puso ni Anastasia dahil sa mga rebelasyong narinig niya sa kaniyang sariling asawa. Nasasaktan siya sa katotohanan na ang lahat ng masasayang ala-ala na kanilang pinagsaluhan noon ay parte lang pala ng pagpapanggap at tila ang lahat ay walang katotohanan. “Sure, I lied to you and your family. But I loved you truly, Fred, and it wasn't a lie at all!”

"You—you love me?" ​"I do," confirm niya. "I know it's fast. I know we've only known each other for a few weeks. Pero hindi ko mapigilan. I love you. Everything about you. The way you challenge me. The way you surrender to me. The way you trust me with your body, your heart, your vulnerability. I love all of it."

Napapikit ako. Nang marinig ko ang mga salitang ‘yon, parang may kung anong pumunit sa dibdib ko. Hindi ko alam kung matagal ko na ba ‘yong hinihintay, o sana hindi ko na lang talaga narinig. “I love you,” ulit niya. “And I know it doesn’t fix anything. But I need you to know it.” “Don’t,” halos pabulong ko na lang sabi. “Don’t make this harder than it already is.”

Seryoso lang siyang nakatingin sa daan. “Kahit na ilang beses mo pa akong saktan Laurene, sigurado pa rin ako sayo. The moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew for sure that you're the woman I want to spend my whole life with. I don't know what love is before but when I met you, I understood what it truly meant. Even if we face a thousand trials, my love for you will never waver. You are my strength when I am weak, my joy in times of sorrow, and my love in a world full of hate. You are my everything, Laurene, and I will spend the rest of my life proving my love for you, no matter what it takes.”

Ganoon din siya sa tapat ko. "To know you more, to understand you more, my love." I gasped. Did I hear it right? He is reading a book for me? "It Didn't Start With You talks about how inherited family trauma shapes who you are and breaking free from it. I have really loved this book since then. It helps me a lot, and I'm reading it again, not for me but to understand the woman who's really special for me," he explained, making my heart melt with his words. How come a man was willing to read a book just to understand me?

Ang lalaking dati niyang tinawag na asawa, ang lalaking naging sentro ng kanyang mundo, at ang lalaking bumasag sa kanyang puso nang pira-piraso. ​Nang dumaan si Sam sa tabi ni Adrian, tila tumigil ang paghinga ng lalaki. May isang pamilyar na amoy ang biglang dumampi sa kanyang pang-amoy—isang banayad na amoy ng jasmine at gatas, isang natural na bango na tanging kay Sam Navarro lamang niya naramdaman noon. Bahagyang kumunot ang noo ni Adrian at tila awtomatikong sinundan ng kanyang mga mata ang babaeng naka-veil na mabilis na naglalakad palayo.

“Wala akong pakialam sa bukas. Kahit gumuho pa ang lupa bukas at lamunin ako, wala akong pakialam. Ang mahalaga ay atin ang gabing ito at tayong dalawa. Gusto kitang makasama sa mundong nilikha ng majika ng maling pag-ibig.” Nakita niya ang paggalaw ng adams apple nito. “Are you sure this is what you want?” Pinagala niya ang palad sa matipuno nitong dibdib. Sa kabila ng suot nitong damit ay nararamdaman niya ang init ng katawan nito. “You said you're in love with me. . . Ayaw mo na ba sa ‘kin?”

Tulog na tulog si Dwight at wala itong kaalam-alam na huling gabi na pala nito ang makasama siya. Parang pinupokpok ang dibdib niya na tinitigan ang maamong mukha ng binata. Mahinang umiiyak siya. At sa kahuli-hulihang pagkakataon. He kissed Dwight for so long. Mas matagal, mas ramdam niya ang kagustuhan na hindi iwanan ito. But this is really her fate, and she had to face it kung ayaw niyang hindi madadamay ang taong mahal niya. "I love you Dwight Rivera. Tandaan mo sana iyan."
