New Beginnings at B-Hotel


And so our Day One began....

A little history... Before all of my stupidity happened, you were so kind-hearted to actually offer for us to to spend a staycation in one of the hotels in the area. You were so guilty of leaving me for a month and then coming home and leave again after 5 days for another week of vacation with your family. And I thank you for being wise and mature enough not to cancel it when I asked of your plans for it while you were still in the US.


We met at Nathaniels and went to B-Hotel to check in. As always, you let me do the checking-in. We were given Room 1116. It was a nice room and better than Azumi hotel. We were given a king sized bed; and it was too big for us since we were only occupying half of it. Downside, we did not have that much view but that of Alabang Hills, Tierra Nueva and of course, SM Southmall from far away.


The whole afternoon was spent with just talking and conversing on what happened to us. We discussed all possibilities that can happen to us. Your fears and worries, my promises and commitments. There were a lot to talk about especially that we have been away from each other for a month. A lot to tell on what happened to you in the US and how I succumbed to my guilt and regrets for the entire month of September.

Since you still had jet lag and you cannot adjust to your old sleeping habits, you asked if we can take an afternoon nap. You slept at 4pm, and I just watched you sleep. That was when I realized that this was the person I loved and how really lucky I am to have you as my partner. Then, I followed afterwards. We were too sleepy I guess that we woke up at 8PM already. And then, we talked again as if there is no more tomorrow until we realized that it was past 10PM already and we have not had dinner yet.

Good thing, there were fastfood restos open 24 hours nearby and since you were craving for Sisig. We ended up eating at Mang Inasal. So we had a lot, you had your sisig, I had my pecho, and we both had a bbq. Then, it was as if that meat is not enough, and so we had 2 huge servings of rice. It has been a while since we enjoyed food together besides it is one of those things that we love to do.


We went back to the hotel, crawled on to the bed and talked again just about anything until we were sleepy again. I dont know why but I woke up after 3 hours after, just an hout ahead of you. Since 6AM until 8AM, we just spent our entire morning in beg, having our sweet talks. That one month space and my stupidity really gave us a lot to talk and catch up for. Just before we were about to have a breakfast, I found out that we have an issue at work. It was a working breakfast for us and good thing just after appetizer, the issue was resolved.

Upon returning to the room, we asked if they allow late check-out and we were allowed to stay for another hour. Oh,and yeah, guess what we did. We just re-bonded and talked about our issue, on what we can expect and what we can do about them. But in all these talks, I never stopped apologizing for what I did. I could not stand what you will be going through in the next few weeks, months or even years. Only thing I can do is to make things right for you and not to add to the stress that you could possibly get from your family and friends pressuring you and challenging your decision.

We went to Alabang Town Center after dropping Xtian off at Pacific Shell. After roaming around Town Center and late light lunch at KFC, we stayed in the VIPinoy Center just to while our time away. We decided to go home before 5PM before we fell asleep in the cozy couch at the lounge. I brought my dinner and we walked to the parking. I got my things and just after we bade goodbye something first happened..... I kissed you in the lips in a public area. I think you were caught off guard. But I had the guts to do it, because I almost lost you once without even having to experience that, and I will not let that happen again... So, expect a lot of firsts on our second chance of love....

Back to Square One



And so... This was the day that I dreaded the most... the day when I get to see you after 32 days... the day when I get to hear your questions and thoughts on what happened... the day when I get to try to make my plead... the day when I would have your decision, if you are willing to give us another try...

It was 530PM when I arrived at Alabang Town Center. I made sure that I will have water with me, kasi alam kong madugong iyakan ang mangyayari. I went straight to Healthway; the doors to your clinic was closed and so I assumed you had a patient. I asked the receptionist and she went to ask you... When you went outside your clinic, I just did not know how to react. I was there sitting in one of those benches, parang batang napagalitan, walang imik, walang kibo. I waited for you until you finish your last patient. Then, we went to your car and there, we talked...


I cannot recall anymore how our conversation started. But if there are two things that I realized in our
conversation, it would be that I realized how mature and a very kind-hearted person you are. You knew that between the two of us, you would still need to be the mature person. How lucky I am to have a partner like you, kasi ang bait bait mo sobra. Realizations were brought up, apologies were made, forgiveness were given, requests were asked, and promises were committed. I am just so blessed to have you as a partner. But more than blessed that you are willing to give us another chance.


I know it will really be difficult for both of us. You having stressed by the people around you, telling you how stupid of you to come back to me, and I would have to live with your possible paranoia in the future. We still have to pick up the pieces, but slowly I know we will be back where we left off before my stupidity happened.

This was a very humbling experience. I have realized what I still lack in maturity and in emotional stability. I promise that this time I will always have you in my mind and will put you first as top priority in all that I do. I would not want to lose you ever again.

It is back to square one for us again. And this time, I will make sure to make everything right.
