EPILOGUE

BLAZE DAMON CASTRO

“Yes, Dad. I am planning to marry her. Mag po-propose na ako sa kaniya,” ngiti ko’ng sabi kay Dad.

Nangunot ang kaniyang too. “Sigurado ka na ba sa desisyon mo?” he asked.

“Oo naman Dad. You know, when it comes to Amber, I am sure of everything.”

“Will you marry me?”

My eyes were shining in so much happiness right now. Ito ang pinakahihintay ko’ng araw. It’s her eighteenth birthday. Now that she’s in a legal age, pwede ko na siya’ng pakasalan.

Hindi ko maiwasan na maging emotional. This ring was bought year ago. Naaalala ko pa noon, binili ko ito kasama si Mom sa paborito niyang jewelry shop. She was the one who chose this one for me. Palibahasa’y wala ako’ng alam sa taste ng mga babae. Amber is my first girlfriend, and I want her to be the last.

“I’m sorry, Blaze. I-It’s a no.”
