GRACIA SANDOVAL
POINT OF VIEW 😍"Sis, are you nervous? Kanina ka pa aligaga dyan eh."
"I'm not. It's just so new to me."
I sit down in the couch. Tapos ko na inihanda ang dinner. Nakapagbihis na rin ako. Mixed emotions ang nararamdaman ko. My phone rang. It's him. I answer it immediately.
"I'm outside."
Lumabas na ako. I saw him in the gate. Pinagbuksan na siya ng guard namin. There he is looking so handsome. A bunch of flowers in his right hand and probably a gift box on the left. I approach him."For you,"sabay abot ng bulaklak at yung regalo Niya. Napangiti ako. His sweet gestures never fails to amuse me.
"Pumasok na Tayo."
Magkatabi kaming naglakad. Dinala ko agad ito sa dining area. I saw my Mom, she's sitting on one of the chairs. Nakaupo na din ang kapatid ko. I sit down also. Naupo si Antoniel paharap sa akin."Before we start the dinner, let's pray,"my mom suggested. We agreed. She lead the prayer. Pagkatapos, she open up the conversation. This is it!
"Iho, your a police man right?"
"Yes madam."
"Tita nalang iho. Anyway, I invited you to know you more. Para makilala ko ang nagpapasaya sa anak ko. Don't worry, it's just simple question. Before that, let's eat. "
Napapasulyap ako kay Antoniel. He seemed to be relax. Sanay na yata siya sa interrogation."Iha, are you okay?" Tumango ako.
"Bakit sis? Parang ikaw ang tatanungin."
Mapang-asar talaga siya. I roll my eyes on her.
"Iho, what are your intentions to my daughter? Knowing police man have a lot of girls around. Can I trust you? "
Oh my God! Please sir don't disappoint me.
"Your daughter is a strong woman. Kayang kaya niya kahit walang lalaki sa buhay niya. Knowing she's an independent and a fighter. About my intentions, I just want her to feel that she's being loved and valued. I cannot give her the luxury but I can give her my life."
Damn! My weakness.
"Thats good to hear. Sana iho, your words can put in action. She's suffering a lot of pain before but I do hope, maging masaya na siya. Ipinagkatiwala ko siya sayo. Love her through ups and downs."
Ang swerte ko sa kanila. My tears begin to fall.
"Sis, stop crying. You will look ugly."
Gift interrupted. Nag-eemote ako eh.
"Liligawan ko po ang anak niyo hanggang sa makuha ko ang matamis niyang 'Oo'."
Hindi ba siya nauubusan? We have sex before. Dami niyang alam.
"Iha, you have something to say."
Napatingin ako kay Mommy."Wala na po. He has words na liligawan Niya ako. I'll make sure na mahihirapan siya." While saying those words I look at him. He just smiling to me. Too confident. Let's see that. Natapos na ang dinner. We decided to stay outside.
I look at the sky. Full of stars. Beautiful view.
"Ang ganda. " Akala ko tinutukoy niya ang mga bituin. It's me he is looking at. I feel conscious.
"Totoo yung sinabi ko kanina sa dinner. Ill court because you deserve it."
"Confident ka na sasagutin kita?" I said to him with challenging tone.
"Yes. Wala pang nakakatanggi sa kagwapuhan ko."
"Yabang." He held my hand and look at me intently. Naduduling na yata ako.
"I maybe not the best man for you but I'll make sure I'll be the man who can love you with no regrets."
"Hangin mo? Tigilan mo nga ako."
Umiwas ako ng tingin. But his holding my hand. Bigla nalang lumamig ang paligid. Umakbay siya sa akin. It lessens the cold feeling. Kakaibang init naman ang naramdaman ko.
"Are you okay ma'am," pambasag nito sa katahimikan.
"Oo. okay lang ako."
"Parang hindi kase."
"Nilalamig kasi ako."
Lame excuse. His backhugging me now.
"Your okay now? no cold feeling," he ask me.
Wala na ngang lamig pero parang natuod ako sa yakap niya. Parang kakaiba lagi ang pakiramdam pag nagkakadikit kami.
"Sir, ano, may paiimbestigahan Sana ako kung okay lang. She's threatening me for so many days."
Napabitaw ito sa akin. Pinaharap niya ako.
"What? then your not telling me or your family? You can always ask my help."
"Kaya nga humihingi ng tulong sayo. His always referring to Anton guy. I don't know him."
"Anton? May number ka doon sa tumatawag sayo?"
"Meron. I have screen shot and sound recording. Nasa taas kasi yung phone ko"
"Okay. Forward mo sa akin mamaya. Don't worry. Pag nalaman natin ang kung sino siya we will file a case para magtanda. A reminder too, don't hesitate to tell me. "
Nagdesisyon na siyang umuwi pagkatapos ng ilang oras. It's late already. May trabaho pa kasi ito. Nagpaalam na ito sa akin. I went upstairs and drop myself on the bed. This day is great. Sana tuloy-tuloy na.
