VERONICA

If this is what happiness means then I'm so overwhelmed to experience this, napangiti ako aky oliver nang aalalayan niya akong umupo sa isang lamesa sa park nang hospital, It's almost been a month at nandito pa rin ako everyday na lumilipas naghihina ako I feel like my time was scheduled already at malapit na yun, pero kapag nakikita ko ang pamilya ko na di nawawalan nang pag asa and to oliver who never leave my side even sometimes inaatake siya ng phobia niya , he will just simply smile at me at ipapakitang kay niya

"Here you go" ngiti nito nang maiupo ako

"Thank you" ngiti ko rin, umupo na rin ito sa tabi ko at binuksan ang dala dala niyang lalagyanan nang pag kain

"I just bake a cake for the new menu at gusto ko ikaw ang unang makatikim nito, I eveb bought exito coffee" ngiti ni oliver habang inilalabas ang isang box nang cake at termos "Alam mo ba sobrang benta talaga nang exito coffee and I was really happy about it" lingon niya sa akin habang nag hahanda nang pinggan, I just listen to his stories sa ilang linggo naming magkasama ito lagi ang ginagawa niya

After a half shift sa coffee shop didiretso ito sa ospital at may dalang pagkain ,aalalayan niya ako papunta sa park at dito kame kakain na ikinasasaya ko dahil kahit papaano medyo refreshing dito kesa sa loob nang hospital room

"Veronica" napalingon naamn ako kay oliver nang tawagin ako

"Mm?" Tanong ko

"Are you okay" hawak niya sa kamay ko bago ovserbahan ang mukha ko, and I just smiled

"I'm okay, okay!" Ngiti ko pa bago kunin ang slice of cake "titikman ko na ah" tingin ko sa kanya na tinanguan lang ako, I taste it and as usual it was really delicious

"Ang sarap!" Ngiti ko "may cheese, chocolate and strawberries! My favorites", ngiti ko talaga bago lantakan pa ang cake

"Yes, that's why I name it after you" ngiti nito "Veron's choco berry cheesecake" ngiti ni oliver na medyo ikinatawa ko

"Ang haba naman" tawa ko habang kumakain

"It's okay if it for you" tingin niya sa akin, I just smile back at kumain muli nang cake I also drink coffee konti lang and it really suits the cake, napansin ko naman na ako lang ang kumakain kaya napalingon ako kay oliver and he was just staring at me, parang nagungusap naman ang mata nito but I can't really read it

"Bakit di ka kumakain?" Tanong ko, na humiwa ulit nang cake at iniamang sa kanya he smile before opening his mouth and eating the cake

"Sarap nga!" Sigaw niya na ikinatawa ko

"Syempre gawa nang boyfriend ko" saad ko

Natigilan naman siya at napatingin sa akin
"I was your boyfriend?" Tanong niya na may gulat at natawa naman ako,

"Obviously?" Takang saad ko sa kanya, grabe naman kailangan ba talaga ipaalam pa sa kanya bago niya malaman

"Am I really?" Hawak niya pa sa balikat ko

"Yes" medyo nahihiyang saad ko

Nagulat naman ako sa biglang pagyakao niya, but then smile at niyakap din siya pabalik grabe naman ako lang ba nag iisip na boyfriend ko siya?!! Eh sila danica at zenny nga kinukulit ako kung bakit di pa daw namin inaanounce clueless pa rin pala tong lalaking to, but I still have fears and what ifs pero sigurado ako that he is the man I want to ve with in my remaining times in the world

"Yes!" Biglang tayo niya at sigaw "She's my girlfriend, My girlfriend!" Sigaw niya pa sa mga dumadaan kaya napaphiyang hinatak ko siya grabe

"Hey oliver umupo ka nga" hatak ko sa kanya paupo, lumapit naman siya and nanlaki ang mata ko nang bigla niya akong halikan, but it was just a smack, hinawakan niya ang pisnge ko at pinakatititgan ang mukha ko

"I love you" titig niya sa mata ko and I smile hinawakan ko ang kamya niya na nakahawak sa pisnge ko and stared at his eyes

"I love you too" sagot ko

"I love you more" biglang saad niya, na ikinatawa ko

"I love you most" ngisi ko

"I love you 1000 times" tawa niya

"I love you eternity" tawa ko rin

I'll just let fate write our story ang alam ko lang ngayon masaya ako kung nasaan ako and I will savour it and live every moment of it, with this man who was willing to fight beside me till the end


ISABEL

It's been a month and oliver still haven't talked to me and I haven't reach him out
I sighed bago naglakad papasok sa kwarto I sit in my bed and roam around my room
This is my room since I open my eyes, naalala ko pa noong minsan na sabihin ni Mommy na lilipat kame ay hindi ako pumayag because that means malalayo kame kay oliver, I haven't eaten for days that time at nasa loob ako nang kwarto pinipilit man nila ako palabasin ay hindi ako pumapayag, but the truth is Oliver was sneeking in midnight para dalhan ako nang pagkain dahil ayaw niya rin kame umalis

But here I am packing my things and leaving this room I have promise to never will

"Looks like we have broke our promises huh"

siguro nga makasarili ako kung sasabihin kong yun ang bagay na pinanghahawakan ko kaya kampante ako, because I know we have made a promise but looks like it turns out like what you say

Tumayo ako sa pagkakasakampak sa kama at nagbihis I drove fast hanggang sa makarating sa hospital, Huminga pa ako nang malalim bago lumabas sa kotse ko
Maglalakad na sana ako papasok nang marinig ko ang tawanan sa maliit na park nang ospital

"Ano ba oliver!" Tawa ni Veronica habang pinupunasan ang icing sa mukha niya, and there he is staring at her lovely, like how he stared at me back then, naglakad naman ako papalapit sa kanila at huminto nang di kalayuan sa table na kinauupuan nila

"Come here,I'll wipe it off—" naputol naman ang sasabihin ni oliver nang makita ako ganoon din si veronica na napalingon sa direksyon ko,I sense tension build around us kaya napabuntong hininga ako at ngumiti

"I know you haven't forgive me to what I have done, but I am here not to cause any troubles or problems" sinserong saad ko "I was here to bid goodbye and to tell you two that I am really happy seeing you together" Huminga ulit ako nang malalim iniiwasang pumatak ang mga luha "Am...sorry...I know I have made a really big mistake and I regret it , I wsih someday you two can forgive me" ngiti ko pang pilit

Tumayo naman si oliver at lumapit sa akin "I'm not mad at you I was just shock and why are you bidding goodbye?" Takang tanong niya

"I will go to states susunod na ko kila mommy and daddy, after all I have nothing to do here, and binenta ko na ang coffee shop so you can't stop me", ngiti ko pa sakanya

"You know I love you as my sister and friend no one can change that" ngiti niya at niyakap ako agad din akong humiwalay at ngumiti kay veronica

"Ahh...sorry and Goodbye" ngiti

"It's okay it's all in the past take care", medyo mahinang saad niya kaya nagpaalam na ako at naglakad palayo, but for the last time I look back and stare at him who join veronica malungkot naman akong napangiti

"But what if one day you found someone that you really love?" Tanong ni oliver habang inosenteng nakatinggin sa akin

I then think about it
"Then we will let go, If that man or girl is good for you or me" ngiti ko naman

"Ganoon? Hmm...Okay then, But I wonder if I will find another one hehe", he smiled at kitang kita ang bungi pa nitong ngipin

"Pero kapag nangyari yun, Even if it's not me take her to moon okay, take her for me so even if it's not me I will be part of it, kase ako nakaisip noon eh hehhehee" ngiti ko pa sa kanya

"Okay I will" He smiled

Maybe promises are not meant to be broken, but to be accomplished to right people,it's just happen we are the ones who are promised but not the one to be fulfilled
