The Self-Made Billionaire Series 3 Ambrose La Cuesta (Completed)

Chapter Eighteen

NABITAWAN ni Wendy ang isang malaking bowl na hawak at tumapon sa sahig ang mixture ng kanyang dry ingredients para sa banana cake na ibe-bake. Napatingin sa kanya ang matatanda na magiliw na nagkukuwentuhan di-kalayuan sa kanya sa kusina.

"Okay ka lang, Ma'am?" tanong ni Mang Noel.

"May problema ba?" usisa ni Manang Aurea.

Hindi niya alam kung bakit parang may kung anong kaba ang bumalot sa kanyang dibdib. Mabilis na tinulungan siya ni Manang Susan na linisin ang kalat na nagawa.

"Namumutla ka, hija, okay ka lang?" tanong nito.

"Opo, okay naman ako. Sandali lang ho at tatawagan ko lang ang nanay. Parang bigla akong kinabahan na hindi ko alam."

Bumalik siya sa silid at ilang sandali pa ay kausap na niya ang ina sa cell phone. Maayos naman ang kalagayan nito, nabanggit pang kamustahin niya si Ambrose para dito. Then she tried calling him after talking to her mother, hindi niya makontak ito. And that was weird.

Tiningnan niya ang huling mensahe sa kanyang cell phone mula rito.

I left the farm already, be home soon. The weather is getting bad, but I can't wait to get home. Can't wait to eat your banana cake. I miss you and the baby. I love you, my beautiful wife.

She tried calling him again. Hindi manlang nagri-ring ang cell phone nito. Napatanaw siya sa labas ng malaking bintana sa silid.

Hindi niya maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman sa reyalisasyong mag-asawa na sila nito. She became his girlfriend, his fiancée and wife all in one night. When she said 'yes' sinabi nitong hindi na nito palalagpasin ang pagkakataon para maikasal sila. He promised to give her the wedding she dreamed of, pero kung siya ang tatanungin, wala na siyang mahihiling pa. Sapat na sa kanya ang lahat.

Noon rin lang niya napagtanto na talagang plinano nito ang gabing iyon. There was a priest at may mga witnesses rin sila. Kahit wala sa tabi nila ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay, pakiramdam nila ay sapat na ang lahat noong mga oras na iyon. The ceremony was intimate, and she could remember the sky full of stars.

When the priest announced that they were finally husband and wife, she couldn't control her tears. Pumaloob siya sa mga bisig ng asawa. It felt incredibly amazing to call him 'husband'. Hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala. Parang panaginip.

Ambrose held her hand as they approached the biggest cabin in the yacht, her jaw dropped when he opened the door. It had a fully equipped entertainment systems and the bed was spacious that could fit four people. The cabin was classy she couldn't believe her eyes.

"This mega yacht is boarding a licensed captain, a first mate, an engineer, a top-notch chef, sometimes watersport instructor and of course plenty of stewards. Would you like some drink?"

Pinagsawa niya ang tingin sa paligid.

"Gwen, would you like some drink?"

"Ha?"

"Are you okay?"

Napailing siya. Humawak sa kurbata nito. Shen then ran her fingers through the soft fabric of his tuxedo. "Kasi naman...hindi lang ako makapaniwala. I mean, kanina lang...ano...parang alam mo 'yon? Wala pa rin tayong label. Tapos ngayon...ngayon...asawa na kita. Hindi lang ako makapaniwala..."

He ran his hands up and down her arms. Agad siyang nakaramdam ng init sa ginawa nito. He held her gaze. His half smile made her swallow. He was too handsome, too charming in her eyes.
