Bad Hearthrobs

Chapter 82

Link's POV

Naglalakad kami ni Isabel ngayon at bigla naming natagpuan si Ino at Asami na may dalang maleta.

"Ino!" Pagtawag ko sakanila na ikinalingon nila.

"Link! Isabel! What brings you here?" Tanong ni Asami.

"We didn't even have a chance to say goodbye." Sambit ko na ikina-ngiti nilang dalawa.

"Isabel... can I tell you something?" Sambit ni Ino na ikinatango ni Isabel.

"I know that we kinda have some misunderstandings when we first met each other. But you know what, Link has always been a goofball. So take good care of him, minsan kasi may jokes siya na makakasakit eh." Pag asar ni Ino na ikinatingin saakin ni Isabel ng masama.

"Umayos ka ah!" Panermon niya saakin, kaya nag peace sign ako.

"Link. Take care of this precious gem of yours, pag sinaktan mo siya masasapak talaga kita." Pagbanta niya.

"I won't let you down!" Sambit ko na ikina-ngiti niya.

"Link, can you give this to Riku for me?" Sambit ni Asami na may binigay na papel saakin.

"I'll let you know once I gave it to him."

"You don't have to Link. Once you gave it to him, masaya na ako." Sambit niya na nakangiti.

"Link. Mami miss ko kayo." Sambit ni Ino habang yinayakap ako.

Kaya napayakap ako kay Ino at sinali siya ni Isabel hanggang sa nagyakapan kami.

Pagkalas namin, agad namang pumarada ng taxi si Asami at linagay niya yung gamit nila sa trunk.

"I'll see you again! Irish Noelle Alfonso! Asami Nina Alfonso!" Sambit ko na ikina-ngiti nilang dalawa bago sumakay ng taxi.

"Mag ingat kayo sa Japan!" Sambit ni Isabel bago lumayo yung taxi saamin.

"Mami miss ko si Ino." Sambit ni Isabel.

"But there's one thing that I would never miss." Sambit ko na ikinalaki ng mata niya.

"At ano nanaman yan Lincoln Ferrer?"

"Yung pagsagot mo saakin."

"Huh?"

"Diba nanliligaw pa lang ako. I waited for a while bago mo ako sagutin diba? No pressure ah, but I wanted to spend my moments with you Isabel. It's crazy that you managed to overcome my crazy attitude. Isabel, I love you so much kahit napakasungit mo saakin. I love you kahit naiinis ka saakin. Wag ka lang mapunta sa iba." Sambit ko na ikina-ngiti niya.

"Alam mo Link... ang kulit kulit mo talaga. Ewan ko ba kung bakit kita minahal eh." Sambit ko na ikinabusangot ko lang.

"Eh alam mo naman ako, hindi ko matiis yung isang Lincoln Ferrer na tulad mo." Sambit niya na ikinalaki ng mata ko.

"You mean...?!"

"Oo Link. Sinasagot na kita."

"YESS!!" Sigaw ko bago ko siya halikan sa labi.

"Isabel! I would cherish this moment with you and you alone!"

"And I will do the same with you only, Link." Sambit niya bago kami makipaghalikan ulit.

Riku's POV

I accepted the letter Asami gave to me when Link and Isabel passed by. I haven't read it honestly, but I know that she's already a changed person.

I took the letter and read it.

Riku, I know you're shocked when I gave you this letter. I know you won't read it if I'm being honest. But if you do, I'm glad that you did. First and foremost, I'm sorry for giving you a pain that is hard to forget. I realized I was never a good girlfriend to you. Especially when I stabbed your arm and gave you a scar. I realized how terrible I was until I saw you again. My mind was thinking the same thing before, until Hazel came into your life. I realized she's as fragile as you are and I saw how she deserves you more than I do. All because of my jealousy, I planned to kill her. But I was blinded by my mistakes. Riku, I hope you'll have a wonderful life with her. Until we meet again.

Asami Nina Alfonso

She really has changed. And I'm glad that it was never too late for her to change that attitude of hers.

"Riku!" Pagsulpot ni Cordelia na ikina-ngiti ko.

"Cordelia! How's your online selling?" Tanong ko.

Yes, she's starting her online selling since we're engaged. And I could see her kinda enjoying it.

"Nakakapagod pala. Pero sulit." Sambit niya habang may pinapakitang pera saakin.

"I saved alot of money and mostly, magaganda yung reviews na nakukuha ko."

"I'm proud of you Cordelia. Wanna hang out?" Tanong ko.

"Sure! You know how much I love hanging out with you." Sambit niya bago ako hilain papunta sa kama.

We kept on cuddling each other the whole night and we kept talking about our plans for our wedding.

That's one of the reasons why nakakapag ipon kami ng pera ni Cordelia para sa wedding namin. And I'm so excited to see her as my bride, and as my wife.

"Riku... once na nakapag ipon tayo ng pera para sa kasal natin, I'll be sure that I will be the most beautiful woman you have ever seen in your life."

"You don't need to be, Cordelia. Cause I know deep inside that you are the most beautiful woman in my life. You're still as beautiful as you are right now. And I couldn't wait to spend my days with you. Just the two of us. You... me... and our family that we will have soon. Cordelia, challenges may come in our life, but we always have each other's back no matter what happens."

"Riku, once we got married, I would want to tell your family how you changed my perspective in life." Sambit niya na ikina-ngiti ko.

I know how happy they will be when they realized our story together. Since then, my parents are working abroad and helping me finish my studies. Although they haven't met Cordelia, I will show them how precious she really is.

"Cordelia... I--"

"Shh. Let's enjoy the moment Riku. We'll be like this every single day in our lives, so let's spend our moments together." Sambit niya bago ako linapitan sa mukha.

"Just the two of us." Sambit ko hanggang sa naghalikan na kaming dalawa.
