You Vanished My Love ( Engineering Series#1 ) -COMPLETED

CHAPTER 33

Halos hindi na ako makatulog sa kakaisip dahil sa sinabi ni kuya. They'll talk? Hindi kaya niya papatayin? I know how he's mad towards Morris. Ewan ko kung anong magagawa niya.

Late akong natulog kaya late rin akong gumising. Malaking eyebags ang bumumgad sakin nang pumunta ako sa Bathroom at dumiretso sa salamin. Para na akong panda nito.

Naabutan kong kumakain sina Mom, Dad at Cheska sa hapag, as usual.

"Hi baby. You sleep well ba kagabi?" I ask when I reach for her cheeks then kiss it.

"Yes mommy. Ikaw po?" She ask politely.

"Okay lang naman." Tipid kong sagot.

"Okay Mommy. It's bad when talking while eating kaya I'll zip my mouth na." She said at nag zip pa ng bibig niya.

Oh god. She grown up already. Alam ko naman na kahit adik sa ML ang batang to dahil sa Daddy niya, Mabait parin naman ito at hindi nakakalimutan ang tamang asal. I'm glad with it. Dahil sa trabaho, hindi ko namalayang malaki na nga siya. Mabuti nalang at lumaking may mabuting asal. Dahil sa trabaho, wala na akong oras sa kaniya palagi. Palaging si kuya nalang ang nakakasama niya. Pero wala namang problema si kuya doon, masaya naman siya na kasama si Cheska.

"Oh. Sorry. I'll go to work na ha? Mom, Dad, pasok na po ako." Paalam ko at saka sumenyas na paalis.

"Ezlyn." Dad's baritone Voice made me stop. Pati sina Mommy at Cheska, napatigil rin dahil sa seryosong boses ni Daddy. Hindi kami sanay na ganito siya kaseryoso. May problema kaya?

"Dad?" Nagtataka kong tanong. I'd never been afraid of him, but today, his voice is.. Different.

"There's someone waiting for you. Kanina pa yan. Go ahead." Pagbubugaw niya sakin kaya kahit naguguluhan, Sumunod na ako sa utos niya at agad na lumabas.

When I saw Morris, with his longsleeve polo na nakatupi hanggang siko, paired with a black slacks. Nakasandal sa kotse niya at nakayuko habang pinaglalaruan na naman ang susi na hawak niya.

"GoodMorning." I greeted when I reach infront of him. Napaangat naman siya ng tingin at saka ko lang namasdan ulit ang gwapo niyang mukha. He smile.

"Uh. Goodmorning. Kumain kana ba? May Frappe sa loob. It's still hot." aniya at pinagbuksan na ako ng pinto sa front seat. Nang makapasok na, isinara niya muna ang pintuan bago umikot papuntang driver seat.

"Here. Drink that." Sabi niya habang inaabot ang frappe para sakin.

"Thankyou." I thank him bago humigop ng kaunti. It tastes good.

"Is it good?" Tanong niya at nagsimula ng magdrive.

"Yeah."

"You didn't text me last night." Muntik ko nang maibuga ang hinihigop na frappe when I finally processed what he just said. I forgot to text him! Did he really wait for it?

"Did you really wait for it?" Anong oras kang umalis sa bahay namin?" Baka masyado na siyang late nakauwi dahil sakin. Baka hinintay niya talaga akong itext siya? Bakit ba nakalimutan ko iyon? Ang tanga ko.

"I waited there for over three hours." He said formally as if it's not big deal to him, hell it is for me! For god's sake it's three hours. Iniisip ko palang na, Nilalamok siya sa labas or else giniginaw, It frustrates me.

"Three hours? You really wait? Tell me it's a lie Morris. Hindi kakayanin ng konsensiya ko."

"It's not big deal for me. I even waited and long for you for over..." He trailed. "Six years."

"Thankyou and Sorry for waiting." I whispered.

"It's my pleasure." He whispered, too.

"For over six years, besides that you're hospitalized, what else are you doing?" I asked when I suddenly thought about it.

Ano kayang ginagawa niya? Nabobored kaya siya sa oras na yon? Anong iniisip niya?... Sino? Naghirap ba siya roon?

"What am I doing? Hmmm.." He paused a bit and look at me intently through the rear-view mirror.

"Besides of being hospitalized, All I was doing is to think about you. How are you feeling those days? Are you doing okay? May masakit ba sayo? May tumutulong ba sayo? Kung kumain kana. Kung nakatulog kaba ng maayos, hindi gaya ko. Palagi kitang pinagdadasal na sana, Huwag kang papabayaan. I'm not that religious person, but I'll pray for your good. Hindi ako sanay na magdasal pero simula nong nagkahiwalay tayo, I learn it. Araw-araw na akong nagdadasal para sa kaligtasan mo. Na sana, kahit wala ako sa tabi mo, Hindi mo parin ako makakalimutan. All I was thinking is about you. Daydreaming, that you're still here with me. Daydreaming, that you're with me in there. Daydreaming, that you're the one who's taking care of me instead of that nurses. Daydreaming, that you're there that time. Daydreaming, that I'm with the precious girl that I can't afford to lose. Daydreaming, that we're finally married. Daydreaming, that we have childrens. I even thought about their names already. Ezlyn, all I was doing back then is to daydream about you. Everyday, I still missing you. Sa bawat araw na lumipas, naalala ko ang ala-ala na nagawa natin. Nung nasa hospital ako, ikaw ang naging inspirasyon at lakas ko. Naiisip ko na, dapat magpagaling na ako at sa ganun ay mahanap na kita. Mahanap na ulit kita at ligawan ulit. So I'm here, infront of you now, courting you. If it's okay for you, I'll surely will. Kahit maghintay ako ng ilang taon, basta't alam kong sa paraan na yon ay mapapatawad mo'ko at bumalik sakin. Maghihintay ako kahit kailan, Ezlyn. Basta't magiging sakin ka ulit. Pero kung hindi man, hindi kita pipilitin at pakawalan ka. I'll respect your decision. Galit ka sakin diba? Me too. Galit ako sa sarili ko dahil, dahil sakin ay kailangan mong maghirap. At sa paghihirap mong yon, hindi man lang ako nakatulong sayo at wala rin ako sa tabi mo upang tulungan ka. Galit ako dahil pinabayaan kita imbes na protektahan ka. Galit ako dahil wala akong ibang nagawa kundi pahirapan at paiyakan ka. I'm not the so-called ideal man back then Ezlyn but this time, I am. So please this time, give me another chance. Give me another chance for my daydreams to come true. Gusto ko na, sa oras na ito, magiging totoo, lahat yun. My daydreams about you. Please, I'm begging you. Give me another chance. Gagawin ko lahat dahil alam ko na, when it comes to you, alam kong everything is worth it para sayo. You deserve happiness not sadness. So this time, Can I be your happiness forever?
