After four days, Giovanni has to go back to Manila for work. Kaya naiwan pa ako sa Cebu for almost a month. Good thing, I am able to work and communicate with clients online.
The doctor said Mom was getting better. Hindi pa siya totally magaling, but I believe she's going there. She changed a lot. Kailangan lang niyang ituloy-tuloy ang therapy.
Prayer really works! So, I decided na magpapaka-prayer warrior na din ako. Napakamabuting impluwensiya talaga ni Shaza.
"Mom, I need to go back to Manila." Paalam ko early in the morning. Nakapagbook na ako ng ticket kahapon pa. I have to meet some clients and talk to them personally for the finalization of the designs.
Malungkot na ngumiti si Mama at hinawakan ang kamay ko. "I hope I can help you with your wedding preparation."
I already told him about Sai, our engagement and our upcoming wedding. She has seen Sai and talk to him once via Facetime. And she's really interested to meet him in person. She approves of him unlike Dad. Ang galing ko pa nga daw pumili.
"Once you're completely healed, the wedding will push through. I want you and Dad to walk me in the aisle." Saad ko. I hugged her once again and my two sisters who got closer to me before bidding them goodbye.
"Ate, pasyalan ka namin 'pag nagawi kami sa Manila." Pahabol ni Riza.
"Sure. You can stay at my place."
"Great! I'm excited to meet your cousins-in-laws!" Tila kinikilig pa niyang pahayag.
Susme! Mukhang may pinagmanahan. Napailing ako at the same time at natawa sa isip. They stalked my fiance's social media accounts and viola! They have seen how gorgeous his cousins were. Instant crushes! Take note, plural. Wala daw itulak-kabigin.
Pagkatapos kong mag-ayos ng mga gamit ay bumaba na ako sa sala. Napakunot ang noo ko nang makitang naghihintay sa sofa si Randell. Don't tell me he'll give me a farewell message? Di naman kami friends. We're back to just being acquaintance. Hanggang doon na lang.
Pero mas lalo akong nagtaka nang may iniabot siyang brown envelope sa akin. Ano to? Invitation letter? Kalaki naman.
"What's inside?"
"See it for yourself." Utos niya. Saad niya matapos ilapag ng maid ang dalawang baso ng juice at sandwich sa table.
Nagdududa man ay mabilis ko iyong binuksan at inilabas ang ilang documents doon. A familiar name was written into it in bold letters. PRESCILLA VASQUEZ. Napakunot-noo ako at napatingin sa kanya.
"Ano 'to?" Curious kong tanong. Kilala ba niya si Prescilla? Why is he showing me articles about her, about the homicide incident, the case filed to- Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at binuklat isa-isa ang lahat ng iyon!
Her photos caught my attention. A beautiful 18 year old, brunette and slim. Pang-beauty queen nga. I've seen her photos before. I'm sure she's more beautiful in person.
