Chapter 34

Axel Topher's POV

"Hindi na ko bata, Elise, I'm 22 already, kaya ko na nga'ng gumawa ng bata," I told her pero siyempre I made sure that she won't hear yung last na sinabi ko.

I know she's aware of what happened and tries not to talk about it and I respect her. I'm just worried about something.

"Time flies so fast..." I heard her whispered.

"Yeah, so we shouldn't waste it."

I watched her as she indulge on her deep thoughts. She was staring at the floor while sitting on the bed. I walk towards her and sat beside her.

I can't read her expressions so I just waited for her to speak again. After some while, a tear fell from her eye that made me worried.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Yes, I am, I just realized how dumb and selfish I am with the decision I made 4 years ago, I've wasted so much time." I felt the sadness on her voice.

"Sshhh, you're trying to do better now. Pwede ka pa namang bumawi, sinimulan mo na nga oh. I'm proud of you, Elise," I consoled her. "Don't be too hard on yourself."
