Chapter 43

Truth

The wedding of Zaira just finish and we are on our way to the beach resort own by Drake because he will propose to Hannah. I didn't expect that this day will be both memorable for my two friends. Aware naman kaming lahat how Hannah wanted to marry Drake but she choose to understand that Drake is not yet ready for that.

And other than that Ate Chloe just announced that she is pregnant kaya hindi lang pala ako sa dalawang kaibigan ko dapat maging masaya sa tatlo pala dapat. I'm so happy for them.

Hannah doesn't have any idea of what is happening dahil bigla na lang sumulpot si Zaira at Raffy sa unit ko at wala na siyang nagawa nang si Zaira na ang kumausap sa kanya at dumiretso kami kay Ate Chloe.

I am just watching Hannah looking so confused of what is the guys doing lalo na si Drake na kumakanta sa harap niya ngayon. I can't help but to tear up dahil sa kanilang apat Hannah is the first one I've met nauna kaming mag pinag-samahan and I know all of her struggles in life and I feel sorry because I am hiding mine to her.

Nang lumuhod na sa harap ng kaibigan ko si Drake mukhang doon na nakuha ni Hannah kung ano ang nangyayari. Everyone is too focused on the both of them even me na hindi ko na napansin that Renzo is already beside me holding my hand while I am crying out of happiness for them.

"I am happy for them." I said.

"What about you? Are you happy?" he ask at ngumiti naman ako doon.

"I am happy, because I have you." I said without looking at him pero alam kong napangiti siya sa sinabi ko by the way he hold my hands. Naramdaman kong bumitaw siya sa kamay ko nang magsalita na si Hannah and said yes to Drake kaya mabilis na kaming lumapit sa kanila dahil hinila na din ako ng mga kaibigan ko.

I go to Hannah and hug her so tight because I am really happy for her. Parang kailan lang kinakausap niya pa ako on how she agreed on playing with Drake and now here she is looking happy with her playmate.

"Irene naman e." she said while we are hugging each other kaya natawa na lang ako and wipe my tears even though they keep on falling. Si Zaira at Raffy nasa pinsan nila at umiiyak na din kaya natawa na lang ako. Bakit ba ang hihilig naming umiyak?

Lumapit na sa'min sila Zaira at nakisama na din sa yakapan and after that mabilis naman akong lumayo sa kanila at lumapit kay Drake na kausap na ngayon si Zairon at Renzo.

"Drake," I call him kaya napansin niya ako pati nung dalawa. I smiled at them bago magsalita but by the way Drake look at me and to Renzo alam ko naman that he already has an idea about me and Renzo but he choose not to ask. Yun din ang sinabi sa'kin ni Renzo he thought that his cousin will ask but he didn't.

"Irene, bakit lumayo ka sa drama na nangyayari doon?" he ask and look at my friends na nagdadrama pa nga din.

"May gusto lang sana akong sabihin sa'yo." I said at tumango naman siya at narinig kong nagpaalam si Zairon na lalapitan lang daw asawa niya at sumunod na si Renzo na sinulyapan lang ako.

"My cousin is really in love with you, huh?" he ask at hindi na ako nagulat doon at tumango at ngumiti na lang.

"Don't worry the feeling is mutual." I said at natawa naman siya sa sinabi ko.

"I see... What are you going to say?" he said

"I just want to say thank you for making Hannah happy. That is my only wish seeing them happy mostly Hannah. And I know you won't hurt her that is why I trust you." I said and smile at him at tumango naman siya.

"But what about you and Renzo? They don't have any idea about it, right?" he ask at napatingin naman ako sa mga kaibigan ko bago tumango.

"I will tell them soon, when in fact that is what Renzo deserve." I said at tumango naman siya at nagpaalam na ako na babalik na sa mga kaibigan ko.
