But if she couldn't find her home, if she couldn't recognize my love for her as a light to her path coming back to me, then I will guide her, and if she doesn't feel my presence, I won't do anything but to wait.
I had to be checked the next week so I had to fly back to America, hindi na ako nagpasama sa kahit sino sa mga magulang ko dahil abala sila sa kampanya, I only told them that we are going somewhere but this is the reason why... the battery went weak and it had to change to the newest one.
Ayoko na silang pag-alalahin, maayos lang ako dahil nakikita ko naman na sila palagi, pero ngayong linggong ito, abala sila.
"Ewan ko lang kung fake news 'to, pero sabi rito sa magazine, the heiress of the Altavas Corp is dating with an Airline Pilot," sumungaw si Vanessa sa upuan niya, nakaboard na kami pauwi ng Pilipinas at unti-unti akong lumingon sa pagkakahilig sa seat ko.
"Good for her..." tanging nasabi ko.
"Talag
I almost forgot about the medicines that I will be taking. I recieved a text from Roy that Chris will be coming in here, naghintay ako at pinanatili ko ang pag-aakbay kay Zuri nang makaupo ako."Sorry if I scolded at you awhile ago," nag-iwas ako ng tingin."It's okay," she said.Chris has an umbrella as he folded and when he arrived, I drank the medicines and the juice. I wiped my lips after I drank the last drop and put down the glass."Lunch na, Ma'am, si Architect Lava Zallega, naghihintay sa hapag," ani Chris.Zuri couldn't stop caressing my forearm and shook her head. "Hindi pa ako gutom at... thank you for taking care of him while I am away," ngumiti siya."It's not just my work to take care of him as a patient, Ma'am but a friend, let us do our job and it will be a pleasure to see him happy again," Chris was gathering those remaining things on the bed."Pwede niyo ba akong turuan para alagaan siya?"Umiling si Chris, "M
Hindi ko sinabing sa Alabang ako ideretso dahil alam kong naroon ang bahay nila kaya sa Nasugbu ako inuwi, limang taon ding hindi ko nakita ang Nasugbu at gusto kong doon muna. My friends already settled down, Vanessa was on her parents house, and she's already a mother of a girl, even Jayden and Logan.I was still in medication for good. May ICD pa rin ako at kailangan. Tumigil ang sasakyan sa driveway ng mansyon at agad akong bumaba."Oh, young man, I missed you," sabay yakap ni Daddy at binuka, at pang-aalalay na wheelchair dahil ang ICD ay bago pa at hindi ako masyadong lumakas."Ang kwarto niya, nasa baba, pero inaayos pa ng mga Ate niya..." sabi ng isang kasambahay na sumalubong kay Roy.Sa may daybed ako nagpunta nang marahan at nakita alak ni Daddy sa isang bilugan na lamesa. Unti-unti ang pagtaas ng sulok ng labi ko pero agaran ang pagtakbo ni Kuya at sumigaw, he cleared the table with all force as the glasses and bottle shattered."Gusto
She's my life, too, and this life is nothing without her, I will stay colorless, wrecked and pained, but I know that there is nothing to loose anymore and everything will be gain from now on."Ang sarap nitong luto nila," sabay ngisi nang may nakita pa akong tira sa plato.Tumawa siya at ngayo'y sinapo ang tiyan ko, "My baby's really that food lover..."I swallowed the radish and chewed another one again."Sa Davao siguro ang sunod niyong pupuntahan, dahil doon kami uuwi..."Binaba ko ang kutsara, "I don't know if Dad would allow me to go with him but if you will be there, I'd go for you.""But your health is a bit in chaos. Baka ma-trigger pa ang puso mo," she said.Umiling ako, "I missed your cousins, too. Sila Bado at Danilo?""Nandoon, may mga pamilya na rin."Minsan, naiisip ko kung galit din ba sila sa akin? And how's Lolo Andres' health? Is he really okay? Kahit na dalawang araw ko lang naramdama
Ang dami niyang naging inarte sa harap ko at namamangha ang mga maraming manonood. I was still standing and a bit fascinated by her. Kaunti lang."Anong ginawa ko sa 'yo at bakit naman ginawa mo akong saktan nang ganito? You cheated! At ngayon, hihingi ka ng pangalawang pagkakataon para ano?! Ha?!"Lumunok ako nang bahagya niyang itulak ang braso ko. Tinutok ng assistant ang mic sa akin at hindi ko alam ang sasabihin kung hindi sumabay sa eksena."I won't ever get tired of asking for it, asking for your forgiveness means leisurely forgiving myself. Asking for it means that I will always lower my ego. Begging for your forgiveness means wanting you back to renew and this is not about how I lower my pride, though, it's about loving you... I love you! I still love you so much."Her jaw dropped and she's on the verge of smirked but she bowed a bit now as the crowd clapped and cheered, nag-anunsyo ng break ang host na nangingisi sa akin.
Marahang nahahagod ang aking buhok gamit ang kanyang kamay at ang ilong niya'y nakadikit sa aking noo, animo'y inaamoy ang aking amoy. It was like she misses my manly scent. Her forearm was on my neck as it wrapped around me, her palm was near my ear."Kung ayaw nila sa 'yo, pwede bang ako na lang? Kung napapagod ka nang ipaglaban ako, pwede bang ako na lang ang lumaban para sa atin?" she whispered gently and I really felt how it became hard for her... I am bewildered on what she suffered through all these years.I went to the point where I already gave up. That was months before I saw her in my home in Amanpulo, tumigil ako sa kakaisip sa kanya dahil alam kong masaya na siya sa naging buhay niya sa Espanya. She finished her studies and became successful in her feild. I know that she's already far to me. My family even supported her to enter in a prestigious school there as a compensation of 'what I did'. Everyone moved and I was left and mourned lose
Parang hinehele ako sa rahan ng boses ng ama ko. Na kahit ilang beses kong ikaila, iwan at taasan sila ng pride, alam kong uuwi pa rin ako sa kanila. Dahil sa araw na ito, matapos akong saluhin ng mga magulang ko sa loob ng Airport, alam kong hindi ko sila maipagpapalit, sila lang ang pipiliin ko, I won't choose anybody else anymore, hindi ko kailangan ng awa o kung ano man.This time, I will choose those who loves me, not the ones who only pity me. Dahil gano'n na ako kababa, ang mapaniwala sa isang bagay dahil mababaw na ang kaligayahan ko. I only believes those words given to me. At kayang-kaya kong gawin ang lumayo dahil magulang na rin niya ang humiling. They demanded me to leave her and if they are waiting for me to obey them, they are mistakenly expected, they told me once before to leave her, I did it 'cause everyone believed and still believes that I fooled her but I didn't.They saw me in Amanpulo before, I accepted all those painful words the
They continued the topic as I remained calmed and just busied myself typing and getting some news on those colleagues on my company, pangalawa kong tinext si Shane Cardinal. He also confirmed it, that Zuri was fired and she was on her condo base on Victoria at ang punyeta, she blamed me again.A man was talking to Dad, matikas iyon at hindi maipagkakailang matikas pa rin. The talks even lowered than how rowdy it was awhile ago dahil napansin na nilang ako ang tinutukoy ng mga salita nilang tungkol sa lalaking gumalaw kay Zuri. I was still waiting for the negative comments when they topiced the cheating of the ex-fiancee of the Altavas heir but it stopped like a flowing after on the nozzle.I even noticed the gazes but I disregarded it. I was observing them like a cat so that I could jump into the foods when they leave it."Are you okay?" Vanessa went to my back and slightly rubbed my shoulders.&
Binaba niya ang cheap niyang cellphone na kulay phantom purple at taas noo niya akong hinarap."Anong ginagawa mo rito?" tanong ko.She mocked and crossed her arms on her chest, "I resigned in my own company kaya wala kang pakialam," matapang niyang tugon pero may bahid ng kaba.I barked a laughters and crossed my arms too, "Your company? It's Mr. Altavas company and if that is your own, you don't need to resign. Baka tinanggal?"She marched heading to the door as I blocked her. But what made me furious more was that she could easily touched me and she pushed me shortly to give her a way.Sinundan ko siya sa labas kahit hinihingal ako. Kinuha niya ang tuwalya na nakasampay at pumunta sa outdoor bathroom. She slammed the door as she opened the faucet there."Open the fucking door and let's talk, or I'll drag you out of that bathroom? I don't care if you're naked."I've waited for how many
