Loving Him Is RED

Business Propoposal

Hermione POV

Katulad nga nang sa plano ko ay naipaalam ko na kay Otosan at Okasan ang kalagayan ko.

And of course, sobrang sakit lang din sa part nila since only child ako at may taning pa.

Dad keep on insisting that maybe some Doctor can cure me. But I already stop hoping! It will be a big miracle if I got to live after 3  years time. I don't want to take anymore medication or surgery to risk my life. I just decided live the life the way I wanted. I just want to enjoy my life rather than staying in a hospital bed waiting for my death. I don't want to have regrets that instead of being thankful to God and keep on asking Him and mourning Why me? Bakit ang bilis naman? Kung kailan mas gusto ko pang mamuhay? Why when I finally found the reason to live and stay? Maybe God has his reasons, and one of it is to make me happy even in my few remaining moments. Cherish those moments, life is short, you never know what will happen next, be sure to enjoy every bits of it. And when the time comes for your death, you're ready to accept it.

As for Otosan and Okasan syempre walang katapusang iyakan ang nangyari. Dad can't accept and believes the truth. Pero ganoon naman talaga minsan hindi talagang madaling tanggapin ang katotohanan. But just like everybody says: Truth will set you free. Indeed it is, tinanggap ko na ang kapalaran ko, why tried to rewrite a new when it is written already in the first place?

Otosan ask me on what I want. And I smiled looking at them. I simply answer that I want to be happy. I want them to be happy. I want my remaining days to be unforgettable.

Kung hindi pa may tumawag kay Otosan hindi matitigil yung iyakan namin. It is a very important call of someone and it wasn't my intention to overheard it when Dad mentioned Red's name. Don't tell me Dad knows him.

"Mr. Jared Lopez, I don't know if I can still continue signing the contract your offering. I'm going to pull off my planned investment to your company. I don't know when will I go back to Philippines."

"Sorry but I really can't. Thank you and send my regards to your Dad."

"Otosan, Did I heard it right? Are you talking to Jared Claude Lopez?" I ask confirming what I heard and that my ears didn't fool me.

"Yap, he's the CEO of the leading Airlines company, the Aero and as well as a very known pilot. Why? You know him? Magkaibigan ba kayo?" sunod-sunod na tanong ni Otosan.

Napailing naman ako kay Otosan. I don't want to be friends with him.

"We're not friends, and I don't know if he even know me but Dad I love that guy and want to marry him. I want my remaining days to be spent with him. To feel love and enjoy the feeling that overwhelms me and makes me alive. I don't know if it just a coincidence but I guess this is the answer that I'm looking for on how will I make Red to be mine." I straightforwardly answered.

Dad look at me surprisingly and even gulped when he sees me crying.

"Don't pull off the business transaction Dad, make me the collateral, make him marry me. It seems that you are an important client he have. If he don't want to lose a big client like you, ask for a deal: A contract signing in exchange of marrying me."

"Dad you ask me on what I want and you promise to grant it as long as you can. This is what I want. I am in love with that guy. I'm a victim of love at first sight. And I think he's the person I been looking for. If God make us way to find him then I shouldn't waste this moment. I want him to be my husband. Please Dad!! Kahit sa 3 years ko pang natitira." pagpapatuloy ko at hindi ko na napigilang umiyak. Call me desperate and selfish. I don't care anymore. But I just want to be happy. Mali bang maging masaya? Mali bang piliin maging masaya kahit sa natitirang mga araw na maglalagi na lang ako sa mundo?
