روايات وقصص ضمن Commitment For Love

tanong ko, sinusubukan na siya mismo ang maglabas ng tunay niyang pagkatao, umaasa na marahil may kabaitan din sa kaniya at magamit ko iyon na paraan para tuluyan ng makalaya sa kaniya na hindi ko napapahamak ang aking pamilya. Huminto siya, tumingin sa akin. May kakaibang lamlam sa mga mata niya. “Ruthless doesn’t mean heartless, Arielle.” Napatigil ako. Hindi ko inaasahan ‘yon. Lumapit siya nang dahan-dahan, nakalagay ang kamay sa bulsa, parang lagi siyang kontrolado kahit ramdam mong mabigat ang atmosphere. “Pero kung iniisip mong may fairytale ending ito… wala. Hindi ako naniniwala sa love. Ang love ay mahina, pabago-bago, nakakasira ng focus. Ang tanging mahalaga? Loyalty. Commitment. D

Maraming puwede, marami ring hindi puwede! Ang sabi ng aking puso at isipan, mahal na mahal ko si Robert noon at ngayon! Sa pag-ibig walang kasiguraduhan. Puwedeng mauwi sa hiwalayan o puwede ring forever depende sa dalawang taong nagmamahalan. Sabi nga ni Kate Moss na nabasa ko sa F*, “Love is always a risk worth taking. The biggest gamble we’ll ever take is with our hearts. In handing someone our most vulnerable pieces. Not knowing where it will lead. Where it’s meant to go. Whether they’re a lesson Or forever.”

Agad na pahabol ko at sunod na nilingon si Noah para sumagot. "We do, Father." Natatawang sagot nito kay Father. Pag ako kinurot ni Lola mamaya sa singit, kukurutin ko rin 'to mamaya. "Keziah Arwen and Noah Oliver, your love is something that you both cherish, so much so that it's moved you join in the union of marriage and create a home together. Today, you dedicate your lives to giving one another happiness and support. To be certain, entering into the covenant of marriage is an act of deep trust and faith in the strength of your love. It would be a fool's error to base your marriage on the hope that your partner will change to become something they are not, or do something in the future t

Dedication This story is dedicated to those who have lost faith in love, to those who feel that love is nothing more than a fleeting desire for satisfaction. To Atenna Baguinaon, whose belief that no one has ever truly loved her stems from a lifetime of being surrounded by people who only seemed to want something from her, even her own family. Her walls are high, and her heart is guarded, convinced that real love does not exist.

"Ngayon, sa pamamagitan ng mga singsing na ito, ipagpapahayag nila ang kanilang pangako sa isa't isa, bilang simbolo ng pag-ibig at pangakong magpakapamilya." Kinuha ko ang isang singsing na dala-dala ni Rail, na nasa gilid na namin ngayon. Nag-aalalang nakatingin sa ina niyang umiiyak pa rin. “I give you this ring as a sign of our love and commitment to each other. I promise to support you, care for you, and stand alongside you for all of our days.” Isinuot ko sa kanyang kanang kamay ang singsing at kahit na nakita ko nang naisuot niya ito noong bago namin bilhin ay para bang ngayon ko lang nakitang suot niya iyon.

Pero kung ganito lang, na gusto niyang gawin namin ‘yon nang walang nali-link sa aming dalawa, parang ang babaw. Marriage is about love. Hindi ka naman basta-basta magpapakasal na parang naglalaro, eh. Nandoon ang commitment. Na kahit anong mangyari, kailangan ay nasa tabi niyo ang isa’t isa. Pero paano ‘tong nangyayari sa amin? It was just all about lust.

"Psyche, I know I haven't always been the easiest man to love. I’ve made mistakes in our 'first draft.' But thank you for not giving up on loving me all these years. Your love is what made me what I am today. Without you, I am just an empty structure." "And standing here tonight, in front of our families and God, I promise you this: This second chance is my lifetime commitment. I will protect you, I will cherish you, and I will spend the rest of my days making sure you never regret choosing me again. To my wife, my partner... my forever. I love you so much."

Which is true. "Really? No other reasons? Hinanap Lang ng puso mo mahal mo na?" Narinig ko pa ang pagtawa niya. Shet. Ang cute talaga. "Oo, Ba't ba?" "Once you fall in love dont forget the reason why you love that person, because everything comes with a reason."

“Did I agree with that? You’re making decisions without me!” Gusto ko pa sana makinig pero nagtagpo ang mga mata namin ni Zake. Shit, bakit ba ang talas ng pakiramdam niya? Tatakbo na sana ako palayo nang marinig ko ang mga huling sinabi ni Zake. “I can’t even see myself marrying you. I guess I married the right person now.”

". . . se temtasyon at pagsusugal." Randam ko ang sakit sa kaniyang pagngiti. I am sensetive with this kind of conversation. If only every man had this perception, families will be strong and intact. If only every woman project the same intensity of love, then there will be no room for partation and brokeness. 'I love you' should be a commitment rather than an expression of romantic feeling. Commitment na hindi lang ang isa't-isa ang mamahalin kung hindi ang magiging bunga rin ng pagmamahalan nila.
