One Deep Love (Montejo Siblings #1)

Chapter 39

FORGIVE

They says forgiveness given you another chance to make a new beginning. There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.

Everyone makes mistakes, but they can also make them right.

"I-I'm really sorry... I know what I did was wrong. Sa kagustuhan kong makasama ang aking anak ay naging sakim ako..."

Yumuko si Mrs. Montejo habang nakaupo siya sa aking harapan ngayon. We were in a VIP room inside of the restaurant, malapit lang ito sa HDL na ginagawa nila Darius.

Hindi ako nakapag salita at tahimik lang na nakikinig sa mga sasabihin niya. She suddenly texted me earlier if I was free today because she wanted us to talk. Nagulat ako dahil doon, at naguluhan din dahil nagtataka ako kung saan niya nakuha ang number ko.

"Hindi ko inaakalang magsisinungaling sakin ng ganon si Jamaica, hija. But I know I can't blame her, because she just loves my son. She told me things about you, like you're just nothing..."

"And you believed her..." That's a fact.

"T-That was so insensitive of me. I-I just want what's the best for my son. I want to make him happy... And I also want to be with him, with them..." Nanginig ang boses niya.

Umiwas ako ng tingin bago nagsalita. "I get your point, madame. Yes, you want what is the best for him, you want him to be happy. And yes, I also want it from him... But what I have done?"

Sunod-sunod akong napailing nang maalala ang mga salitang sinabi sakin ni Ruru dahil sa ginawa kong pagiwan sa kanya.

"I don't blame you madame. I never blame you. Naguluhan lang ako, dahil... Bakit? Bakit kailangang ganon ang gawin niyo. I'm disappointed, yes. Dahil pati ang karangyaan ng pamilya ko ay parang inapakan niyo na din..."

"I... I'm sorry, hija. I'm so sorry..." I saw her tears rolled down. "N-Nag kamali ako. Akala ko magiging maayos na noong n-nawala ka, pero mas lumala. H-He didn't even look at me, since you disappeared he hasn't called me mother again. He was always angry and drunk.. Lagi niyang bukambibig ang p-pangalan mo. Sinisisi niya kami dahil sa pagkawala mo..." Humikbi siya.

My mouth parted open as I inhaled a large amount of air. Parang kinakapos ako ng hininga dahil sa mga sinabi niya. Napayuko ako at pinunasan agad ang luhang lumandas sa pisngi ko.

"I already regretted what I did. But Jamaica and her family beg for another chance to be with my son. Kinukumbinsi niya ako lagi na hindi ka na babalik, na hindi mo naman talaga mahal ang anak ko..." She wiped the tears on her cheeks. "B-But believe me, hija. A-Ako mismo ang gumagawa ng paraan upang hindi matuloy ang kasal na pinlano namin noong una..."

Saglit akong natigilan at napatingin sa kanya. What does she mean?

"Me and her family made a plan about their arrange marriage, since I was in LA. At first I didn't agree with that, p-pero noong pinatulong nila ang anak nila sa company ko at lumago iyon ay doon na ako pumayag. I-I don't have a choice, dahil pakiramdam ko ay may malaki akong utang sa kanila at 'yon lang ang napili kong kabayaran..."

I gasped because of that sudden revelation. Natulala ako at pinilit na ipasok ang mga sinabi niya sa aking utak. I don't know kung totoo ang mga sinasabi niya, pero habang nakatingin sa mga mata niyang puno ng pagsisisi at lungkot ay hindi ko na mapigilan ang maniwala at maluha na lamang muli.

Why other people are so cruel? Oo, Madaming nagagawa ang pera, katulad lang din ng mga bagay na magagawa mo dahil lang sa PAGMAMAHAL. Magagawa mong pumatay para sa lang sa pag ibig, magagawa mong gawin ang lahat, kahit pa ang manloko. But other than that, you can also take advantage of someone who owes you a debt that even she herself did not want or ask for.
