Didn't We Almost Have It All Novels & Stories

Pinagpatuloy namin pagmasdan ang northern lights ng tahimik. For all the things that happened to both of us, it was one of a heck of an experience. Hindi madali ang nangyari sa amin lalo na at madaming nawala. Hindi man naging perpekto ang buhay mag-asawa namin, pero we just learned how to get through it all. Our story may not be a rose-tinted glass, but we learned to find a way to love one another in the most difficult situations.

Kilig tuloy ako unti. And nakaka-panibago na we are also together habang namimili ng mga kailangan sa bahay, unlike before na we will go on our ways to find what we need to buy. Sabay na namin kinukuha and we decide together what we need na wala sa listahan namin. 'Di ba ang cute namin? Kami lang 'to! "Oh, right. Love, malapit na pala OJT natin 'no? What are your plans?" I asked, habang tinutulak ang cart namin.

Hailey asked. "I did." Naiah responded. Watching her this close reminds me of someone. She had everything she ever needed in life since she was born, but she still seemed better after building herself from the ground. It reminds me of the person I had to let go for his own future.

"This was my dream. Hindi ang kompanya ng pamilya ko. Ito mismo." Naiah continued.

“Even if we have another child… it won’t be the same one.” Bahagya siyang ngumiti, pero mapait. “If we lost it… Then we lost it forever.” Tumango si Czarina, hindi tumitingin sa kanya. “Yes. We completely missed out.” Tumahimik ang paligid. Ngunit biglang nagsalita si Damion, mas malumanay, mas totoo. “But I don’t want us to miss out on each other, too,” sabi niya. “We live for hope… not to punish ourselves because of the past.”

Dumating ang sagot mula sa fund. Tinanggihan nila ang counterproposal. Pinili nila ang mas flexible environment. Tahimik ang opisina kinabukasan. Walang nagsabi ng “we lost.” Ngunit ramdam ang disappointment.
