Chapter seventy SIX

Chapter seventy six.

I woke up early this morning just like always. Today is a holiday and it’s one of the days that the company gives me a day for myself. I started the day with Arnold at the dining table fixing our breakfast. He came back after a month long work in Davao.

“How was your sleep? I missed you so much that I didn’t bother to wake you. So I just made you some breakfast.” Arnold said.

I was not shocked to see him, because for 2 years we have been doing this as a routine and I already got the hang of it. But he was here, right before my eyes after a month of not seeing him.

“I missed you too. Thank you for not waking me up last night. Gahd, I’ve been working so much that I already forgot my own life. How are you? How’s Davao?” I asked.

He came up in the steps where I am standing and hugged me tight. I missed him so much that I didn’t notice him kissing me. When I was about to let him go, he didn’t stop. So I shook him.

“Hey, you can let go of me now. I… I… I can’t breathe Arnold.” I said.

“Oh. I’m so sorry, Hana. I really missed you.” He said.

“Yeah, you missed me. I can see that. Why did you kissed me?” I asked.

“Because I need you. I respected your time when you need it for yourself and when you fell for Timmy. This time, I want you to spend time with me. I’m asking you to not only live with me, but also be in a relationship with me. I realized that it’s time for me and you. I will take care of you. If you’d only let me.”
