Lie To Me

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 Manila 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

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

partner." I explained. 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.

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

said. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

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 relationship to stay longer and

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

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 no complications will

come our way. I thought…

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

I shook my head I played 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.
