"Selene! Assurance lang hinihingi ko sa'yo.... Hindi mo pa mabigay?!"
My heart broke into pieces after hearing those words from him; I didn't expect that but I also need to understand his side. Siya na lang lagi 'yong umiintindi; at tama siya, assurance lang hindi ko mabigay. Assurance kung kailan kami pwedeng maging isa; 'yong kasal.
"Artista ako, Jackie. Paano ko mabibigay 'yong assurance na 'yon sa'yo kung ang daming matang nakatingin sa ating dalawa?!" Pagtaas ko ng boses sa kaniya. A while ago, we were good. As in good, hanggang sa napunta na sa ganito 'yong usapan.
"Magdadalawang taon na 'kong nag-aantay, wala pa rin akong nakukuhang assurance sa'yo." Umiwas siya nang tingin at bumuntong-hininga. "Hindi mo naman ako masisisi 'di ba... Kung ako na 'yong mismong napagod? 'Di ba?" Mahina niyang tanong.
"J-Jackie..." My voice broke. "Akala ko... akala ko kaya mo 'kong antayin." Lumunok ako, ang bigat. Ang sakit sa lalamunan. "Pinangako mo 'yon sa akin, 'di ba? Dahil gusto mong... ituloy ko 'yong pangarap ko sa showbiz." I looked into his eyes.
"Hanggang kailan ako maghihintay?" He asked; with his eyes full of pain. "Hanggang kailan akong mananatili sa tabi mo nang walang kasiguraduhan?"
"Hindi pa ba sapat 'yong rason na mahal kita, Jackie? Hindi ba kasiguraduhan 'yon para sa'yo? Ano bang gusto mong gawin ko? You want me to give up my career just to marry you?!"
"JUST?! Just to marry me?!" He sarcastically nod his head and clenched his jaw. "Bakit ba lagi na lang sa tingin mo... hindi ka na pwede magshowbiz pag kinasal tayo? Selene, pwede 'yon. Pwedeng pwede 'yon!"
"I promised myself that I will take care of you and our family.... kapag kinasal na tayo. Wag mo naman ako ganituhin, wag mo 'kong madaliin dahil alam mong nahihirapan din akong pumili." My tears started to form on the corner of my eyes.
"Hanggang kailan ako mag-aantay?" He asked.
"Bakit ba madaling madali ka, Jackie? Ano bang pinagkaiba nung kasal tayo sa hindi?" Tanong ko naman sa kaniya.
"You don't know the importance of marriage?" He asked. "Iba kasi Selene pag kasal."
"Mahal naman natin 'yong isa't isa a', 'yong kasal makakapag-antay pa 'yan-"
"Pero ako, hindi ko alam."
