Novel & Cerita Promise Letter

"Do you promise to accept her just as she is, sharing with her and supporting her through the experiences of your lives, be they easy or difficult, happy or sad, challenging or mundane, till death do you part? "I do," muling tugon ni Lucas. "Do you Leah Martinez, promise to love Madeson-Luke Salazar freely, without restrictions; honestly, without deceit; now, without hesitation?" "I do, I do, I do!" Sambit ni Leah at nagtatawanan pa ang mga panauhin dahil tatlong beses nitong inulit ang salitang 'I do' bilang sagot niya sa pare. "Do you promise to accept him just as he is, sharing with him and supporting him through the experiences of your lives, be they easy or difficult, happy or sad, chal

Pinunasan ko ang mga luha ko bago malawak at matamis siyang nginitian, "Promise!" And I'm breaking it. I'm sorry, Helios. I can't fulfill it. I will...never...

"Eh paano kung ayaw kitang bigyan ng chance?" Mabilis siyang humawak sa kamay ng asawa at hinila ito habang naglalambing. "Please, love~ Bigyan mo ako ng isa pang chance. Sige na~" Nag-isip si Rowan sandali, tapos kinuha ang isang papel mula sa printer at nilapag ito sa mesa kasama ang isang ballpen. Lumingon siya kay Sunny na nakaabang pa rin sa tabi niya. "Sulat ka ng letter of promise."

Sabay kaming nag-angat ng tingin ni Lance at ilang segundo ring nagkatitigan, na para bang kami lang dalawa ang nandito at nawala ang mga taong nakapaligid sa 'min. The man in front of me once promised that he will never leave me and guard me. He promised to protect me. He promised to make me happy. He promised not to make me mad again. He promised not to hurt me again. He promised to correct his mistakes from the past. He promised that he's only mine alone. He promised me that he will wait for the right time to come. He promised that we will meet again at the altar. And right now, I know in my heart that it will not just a promise anymore.

Nestor hesitated, his thumb hovering over the power button, unsure if he could bear to relive those memories again or if it would only deepen the ache in his heart. But then, as if drawn by an invisible force, he pressed the button and watched as the screen lit up, revealing a message from Carmela. It was a simple “I miss you too, Nestor,” accompanied by a heart emoji, but it was enough to bring a glimmer of hope to Nestor’s eyes. He read and reread her message, savoring each word as if they were precious gems. The ache in his heart lessened, replaced by a renewed sense of determination to protect their love, no matter the obstacles that stood in their way.

“Pero magiging mas malinaw.” Alexander Ito ang problema sa slow burn. Kapag nagliyab na— wala nang atrasan. Kinabukasan ng umaga, tumunog ang phone niya. Isang mensahe mula sa board liaison: “Final decision required today. Promotion or resignation.” Napatingin siya sa akin. At sa unang pagkakataon, wala akong sagot.

Bakit ang lambot ng kamay niyang nakahawak sa pisngi ko ngayon? Naguguluhan na talaga ako. “I trust you, Damon,” mahina kong bulong. “Pero... can you promise me something?” Napatingin siya. “What is it?” “Wag mo kong paasahin.” Natigilan siya. Tahimik. Hangin lang ang narinig ko. Hanggang sa dahan-dahan niyang bawiin ang kamay niya sa mukha ko. “I can’t promise that, Leah,” mahina niyang sabi. “Because every time I see you... I forget this is a contract.”

Napakarami nilang paghihirap na pinagdaanan kaya paano nila ibebenta ito ngayon sa mababang halaga? Dumilim ang mukha ni Mr. Oswald at naglabas siya ng isang promissory note. "Ito ang promissory note na sinulat ni Trevor na malinaw na nagsasabing nanghiram siya ng ten million dollars sa isang term ng tatlong buwan. Ang interes ay limang milyon, kaya umabot ito sa fifteen million. Malinaw na sinasabi sa promissory note na gagamitin collateral ang Pacific Group. Sinusubukan mo pa rin bang baliin ang kasunduan?" "Ako ay…"

Tatalikuran ko na sana siya nang magsalita siya. "That's a promise knot," sabi niya na hindi ko maintindihan. "Promise na ano?" Lito kong tanong. "The bracelet I gave you." "Ano'ng promise?" May meaning pala ang bracelet na iyon? "Na hihintayin kitang mag-18." "Ah, for the kiss? It's okay. Ayaw ko na pala ang kiss," sabi ko. I just realized na parang ang cheap ko sa bandang iyon.

Halata ang sinseridad sa boses niya habang sinasabi ang katagang promise. "Sige. P-pumapayag na ako maging nobya mo." Sinundan ko iyon nang lunok. Sumilay ang magandang ngiti sa kanya kaya napapikit ako. Baka pagtawanan niya ako dahil ako na ang nagsabi niyon. "Thank you sa pagkakataon na binigay mo, hon. Promise, pupunan ko na ang lahat ng pagkukulang ko sa inyo ni Ayden."
