Love Lines

Prologue

"At my very young age, I believe, tragic love has different kinds. But these three tragic love, I've read from books hits different. The first one is the parallel lines, the lovers that never got a chance to meet. The second one is the asymptotes, this got closer and closer and closer and closer to one another, but like the parallel, it also never had a chance to be together. And lastly, the intersecting lines, this are the lovers who had the chance to meet once, but parted forever. But---"

Ehem...

I stopped what I do and glance at him. He was pretending looking at the people passing by while sipping his coffee. I smiled and sip my coffee and continued what I was doing.

Ehem... Ehemm...

This time, it's louder. I chuckled and fixed my eye glasses and looked at him. This time, he is now looking at me, while pouting his lips.

"What? I'm busy. May ginagawa pa po ako." ani ko na nakataas ang kanang kilay.

"I just wanted my universe to look at me. Me and me alone. Not the piece of paper. Just me." He said, still pouting.

I shook my head and sip my coffee once again before answering him. "Why though?"

"Nothing. Am I selfish, if I want you to do that?" He is now serious.

I sighed deeply and wipe my lips. I smiled and shook my head once again.

"You're not." I replied.

He smiled and looked me in the eyes. He was like reading my every soul.

"Sorry, if I acted this way. I just can't believe that you are finally--" He paused and look upwards.

He's about to cry. Tears are ready to fall in a minute. I can't help to adore him even more.

What did I do in my past life to deserve a man like him? Like him, who was patient enough to wait for me. Like him, who love me dearly. Like him, who never tried looking for someone else to make his own happy ending.

Lord, I made mistakes and all. But you still give me a chance, us a chance. Thank you for giving me- us this blessing.

"Sorry. I just can't control it." he said and laughed awkwardly. Mahina akong natawa at kinuha ang panyo sa bag na dala ko.

Nakaupo lang siyang nakatingin sa akin habang namumula ang mga mata.

I closed my journal and looked at the man in front of me with adoration. The man who love, take the good of me and always there supporting me.

I can see jealousy dancing in his eyes. I chuckled and pinched his cheeks lightly.

"I love you", I mouthed that made him blush. It was like my "I love you", was a magic, it melts him down.

I rolled my eyes playfully as he reached my hands and kissed it.

"Don't be. Remember we both created the 90°.". I smiled at him lovingly. He nodded his head and kissed my thumb.

"I love you, more." He declared and closed his eyes, still holding and kissing my hand. After a while of closing his eyes and me who was just staring and adoring him, he opened his eyes and with his teary eyes, he whispered together to the thin air, "Thank you", and winked at me afterwards.

Ahhh, I love this man of mine!

With one change, my life, our life turns into 90°.
