#IYAALM18: I Hope This Never Ends

✿ ♥ ✿

❝If you are anything like me,
Finally feeling free and alright,
Hoping happy things would never end,
Darling, I wish you know how much you deserve it,
So cheers for every moment and time, and cheers for your gleaming smile.❞

WHOLE month had passed and we were slowly and steadily coming back to our feet. Kaunti na lang ang utang na kailangan bayaran dahil na rin sa interes, pero masaya ako na maayos na si Javier, kahit paminsan-minsan nakikita pa rin namin 'yung pag-atake ng seizure n'ya. He was still visiting the hospital on a basis. Everything was becoming bearable.

I quitted some of my part time jobs, but I was still working in the office, and at the restaurant. I wanted to stop working at the restaurant, but it somehow became my rest after all the tiring and draining day at work. It was a win-win though, I was earning money, and I was enjoying what I was doing. Killian had also been with me, and we became more open and okay to each other.

Medyo hindi ko lang naiintindi ang pag-aasikaso ng kasal dahil do'n, Killian was busy too with the company of his mother. They actually had a huge fight over me, again. Killian's mother thought he was with Carol now. Killian was just so stressed out about it. Kaya naman bumibisita ako sa opisina n'ya para mag-lunch madalas, hindi lang palagi kasi may sarili rin naman akong trabaho.

"Weekend's around the corner, guys, wanna go to a club?" Georgina asked me, and Deus. We were having our afternoon break. Deus agreed easily. Tss. He'd probably meet Hailey there.

We had been warning Deus that his relastionship with Hailey was dangerous. No strings attached, only bodies. It was not good. But he couldn't just get out. I didn't know what would happened if it becomes a mess. They were both adults, they should know how to deal with it. I just hoped Deus wouldn't crumble down.

"Ikaw, Z?" queried Deus, sipping on his iced coffee.

"Hindi, Killian's gonna teach me how to drive this weekend." I smirked, and swirled my milkshake.

Bigla na lang nag-prayer sign 'yung dalawa ni Georgina, kaya naman nahampas ko sila kaagad sa braso. Tinawanan ako no'ng dalawa at tuwang-tuwang pinag-trip-an. Napapairap na ako, ikakasaya nila eh.

I was really excited this coming weekend. Finally! Another time with Killian. Masaya lang akong ngiti-ngiti sa naiisip, kaya minsan sinasapok ako ni Deus o ni Georgina. Napaka-KJ talaga no'ng dalawang 'yun. Wala rin namang angal si G kapag bigla na lang s'yang lalapitan ni Tupe. Minsan talaga gusto ko na lang nandito sa paligid si Tupe para quiet lang si G.

Biglang nagiging dalagang Pilipina kapag nandyan ang jowa eh. Nako, ewan ko ba.

Nang bumalik sa trabaho, we became professionals again. We just talk if needed, and continued to busy ourselves with our own papers.

After my shift, Georgina dropped me off at the restaurant, because Killian was going to be late, because of their meeting. Sinabi ko na lang na okay lang kasi nandito si G. It was just a normal day. When my job finally ended almost midnight, Killian picked me up, and dropped me home. I couldn't really talk to him the drive, because he looked tired. I just wanted him to have some quiet rest.

When the weekend finally came, I was all set up and ready. Nagpaalam na rin ako kay Mama at Papa at saka sinalubong ng yakap si Killian na naghihintay sa akin at nakatambay sa labas ng kotse n'ya. He automatically smiled when he saw me.
