"Are you done with work?" Tanong ko sa kabilang linya kung saan kausap ko ang babaeng pinakamamahal ko.

"Not yet, love." Pagod na sambit niya.

"Alright. I'll fetch you later, okay?"

"Okay."

"I love you, Mariana."

"I love youuu." She giggled and I can sense that she's blushing over the phone.

It's been four years since I remember every inches of my memories.

Apat na taon na ang nakalipas simula nang bumalik ang lahat ng ala-ala ko.

Apat na taon na rin kaming masaya ng pinakamagandang babae sa tanang buhay ko.

It's been four years and I am still fucking in love with my woman.

Nandito ako ngayon sa Samal Island kung nasaan ang rest house na ipinagawa ko. Tapos na ito at walang alam si Mariana dito dahil gusto ko siyang surpresahin.

It was big of a rest house. Like a mansion in an island with prestigious and elegant aura as it screams.

It is a three-storey rest house with a large pool behind it. The rest house was in front of the beach stretch since I know that Mariana loves to go to the beach.

Halos isang taon ko itong inilihim sa kanya. At halos isang taon din akong nagplano para sa gagawin ko mamaya.

"Anong sabi ng bruha?" Agarang tanong ni Naomi pagkatapos kong tawagan si Mariana.

"She's still at work." Sambit ko.

"Jusko! Baka mag over time na naman ang bruhang 'yon. Baka papalpak talaga 'tong plano mo, Fuego!" Namomroblema niyang sabi habang inaayos ang mga bulaklak na bitbit nito.

"Ang pangit mo talagang mag-isip, babae ka!" Sigaw ni Diego, ang kaibigan ko na asawa ni Naomi.

Hindi ko alam kung paano nauwi sa pagmamahalan ang kanilang bangayan sa nakalipas na mga taon.

Ang dami rin nilang pinagdaanan pero nagbunga naman lahat iyon ng isang napakagandang blessing, at nasundan pa nga agad.

"Ikaw Diego Luis, manahimik ka! Hiwalayan kita 'dyan eh!" Masungit na sigaw ni Naomi.

"Mag-aaway lang tayo pero hindi tayo maghihiwalay, mahal ko." Ani Diego sa buntis niyang asawa para pakalmahin.

Umalis ako sa kanilang harapan dahil hindi ko maitsura ang mukha ni Diego na nagiging sobrang tamis pagdating sa asawa nito.

Para namang hindi ka nagiging corny pagdating kay Mariana, Rad Vincent. Mukha mo!

Pumunta ako sa veranda at tiningnan ang cellphone kong wallpaper ang babaeng mahal ko.

It was a photo of Mariana with pouty lips while scrunching her nose, how cute.

Ang saya saya ko lang dahil sa lahat ng pinagdaanan namin sa nakalipas na taon ay nanatili pa rin kaming matatag.

Lahat ng kasong isinampa kay Mayor Kino Alvarez noon ay pleaded guilty. He wasn't allowed to bail because of the final verdict of the court, and all the evidences were certain and the facts are clear.

All the evidences found weaken the case against his probation. Kaya malabong pagbigyan ito ng korte.

He was sentenced with life imprisonment and I felt at eased knowing that, finally, the bastard got what he deserved.
