The Kapamilya star maintained that she considers Trevor as her true love which is why she can still smile despite his passing.
“Oo kaya nakukuha kong tumawa eh kasi nga hindi heavy dahil alam kong binigay namin lahat. At thank God nagawa namin yun ng mabilis,” she expressed.
She added how precious time is as well–– noting how important it is to show your loved ones how much you love them.
“Kaya sabi ko nga pag may mahal kayo, nako wag na kayo umakting, kahit hindi kayo mahal sabihin niyo na I love you,” she said.
“Anytime pala pwedeng mawala kahit sinong tao tapos uuwi ka sa bahay niyo bukas iba na,” she added.
Despite being able to smile and make other people happy after her husband’s passing, Rufa admitted that the pain that she feels is the longing she has for Trevor. She then turned emotional as she explained how they planned to do everything together and laid out their future for their daughter.

“Alam mo sinabi ko sa sarili ko, basta bibigyan ko ng time yung anak ko, I’ll be kind to her, guide her, basta love,” she said.
Rufa shared that she asked Trevor to continue helping and guiding them even if he’s no longer physically present–– something that she revealed that she could feel.
“At the same time, sabi ko tulungan mo nalang kami. Kahit na physically wala, basta tulungan mo ako paano ko siya palalakihin. Tinutulungan niya ako, nararamdaman ko naman kasi nagiging magaan naman lahat,” she said.
In the same interview, Rufa revealed that she’ll be raising their daughter, Athena, in the Philippines so that she will know where she came from.
