Chapter 3: 03


    Going home is one of the most exciting things we could always feel. We always fascinate about being


    home after the longest time we had been away, but not for me. I don''t. And I don''t think I will ever be.


    I have been trying to even my breathing as I drove closer to my home town; my hands were cold and


    sweaty too.


    I’m so tempted to turn my wheel back to Man and just stay on my apartment instead and I can’t, not


    when my mom is expecting me to be home any minutes from now.


    "What the hell, Jianna! You''re just going home. Calm the shits," I told to myself.


    I inhaled and exhaled, but no avail. My heart beats faster the moment I entered the boundary to my


    town.


    "WELCOME TO MARIVELES"


    I said to myself; griping my cold hands tighter at the stirring wheel.


    "You are home," I murmured to myself again.


    But I couldn''t feel at home. I can’t feel any excitement that now, I am finally home again. Instead, I


    somehow feel strange.


    "For you, what’s more important; trust or love?" he asked all of a sudden. We were at our favorite street


    food eatery, waiting for our food to be served.


    "Trust," I answered simply, a small smile curves on my lips.


    "Why?" he asked again, looking intently at me, curious of my answer.


    "Simply because, how can you love someone if you don’t have any trust on them. For me, for a


    rtionship to be stronger, you need to have a lot of trust in your rtionship and of course, to your


    partner." I exined. He just nod. “How about you?” I then asked.


    “I would choose love but then, you have a very good point about trust so, from now on, I would always


    choose trust,” he said.


    Iughed on his answer and pped his arm a bit. “Have some originality, stop imitating my choices,” I

    said.


    He caught my hand and intertwined his to it. “Nah. I’m not imitating you. I’m just enlighten. You are right


    on choosing trust. And you are also right on saying that in order for a rtionship to stay longer and


    stronger, both must always truthful and trust must always be valued,” he exined.


    I can’t help but smile widely on what he said. “We must always value trust and we must always be


    truthful to each other,” I said and lean my head on his shoulder. “I will trust you in everything and I will


    always be truthful,” I added as I watched our intertwined hands.


    I felt him kissing the top of my head. “I will always be as well. I promise that I will be worthy of your


    trust, love and attention,” he said. “I will value you above everything,” he added.


    That time, I feel nothing but happiness and love. I felt like I was in cloud nine and noplications will


    Everything was bullshit. His words were the biggest bullshit I have heard.


    I shook my head I yed my stereo loudly, enough to distract me from unsolicited thoughts as I


    continue my way driving home.


    There’s no use on reminiscing old memories that doesn’t matter anymore.
