“But that’s a lie! I love her even before I married her! I love her since we were young and I keep on falling deeper with her every day.” I said defensively.
“Yes. But did she know that?” She said and smirked.
I was left dumbfounded.
Manang Biding tap my shoulder and went back to the kitchen to prepare our dinner.
While I chose to go to the garden to give myself some time to think.
Am I that insensitive?
I was not able to consider the things that Manang told me because for me past is past, what’s important is now.
Now she loves me and I love her. That’s the only important thing right now.
But now I realize that I should clear the past first to be able to be at peace.
Because with what’s happening now, I feel like there is something missing.
It is not enough for me to know that Mara loves me. Because now, even if she already told me that she did love me, I still feel scared.
