His Almost Cinderella Wife

Chapter 23

This past few days.. I was getting weaker day by day.. Luckily my family thought i was just sick, had flu or something

Ngayon araw lalabas kami ni Ella, yung kaming dalawa lang.. Medyo matagal na rin nung huli kaming nagdate, i want to make up for the time that we spent far to each other, and to the coming years that we might not be together

"mahal, you ready?" sigaw nya mula sa labas ng kwarto namin, im such a jerk.. Ako ang nagyaya pero ako pa tong nahuli

"be right there.. Mahal"

"okay... Hihintayin na lang kita sa baba ah, bilisan mo.. I love you" sigaw nya ulit saka ko narinig ang mga yabag nya palayo sa pinto

Pagkatapos kong mag ayos ay bumaba na rin ako, naabutan ko pa si Ella sa sala nagaayos ng mga kalat na iniwan nina Clein at Lucie

"hey! Kanina ka pa ba jan?" tanong nya saka inayos ang sarili.. Tumingin sya sa akin at napailing. Lumapit si Ella sa kinaroroonan ko at napatitig lang ako

"Mahal.. Pati ba naman tong colar mo hindi mo na inayos, para kang bata" sermon nya habang inaayos yung colar ng polo ko.. Natuwa ako

"sinadya ko yan, para asikasuhin mo rin ako.. I love you"

"tss para kang ewan.. Parati naman kitang inaasikaso ah"

"i know, but i want you to be with me all the time, and taking care of me so i could take care of you too, i dont want you out of my sight"

"nambobola ka na naman, oh hayan ayos na po.." biro nya saka kumapit sa braso ko at sabay kaming naglakad palabas

Sa byahe ay tahimik ako habang panay naman ang pagdaldal ni Ella, she sometimes shakes me and ask me whats wrong but i kept on saying that i was just thingking about our business.. Im sure she didn't believe me but she didn't ask further

I wish i could tell her, but i dont wanna cling on to her and made her carry the burden of taking care of me and my responsibilities. All i want for her is to be happy, at isa pa.. Magiging sagabal lang ako pagdating ng panahon, sa ngayon malakas pa ako pero hindi ko na alam sa susunod na mga buwan

When we arrived at the restaurant it was quiet, pinareserve ko talaga just for the two of us

"did you like the place?" tanong ko and masaya naman syang tumango pero bakas sa mukha nya na may bumabagabag sa kanya, hindi ko na tatanungin baka magkaroon lang kami ng hindi pagkakaunawan at ayokong magalit sya sa akin

Ipinaghila ko sya ng upuan, i was born a gentleman.. But for the specific woman only, for my mom and specially for the love of my life

Ibinigay ko rin kay Ella yung bouquet of flowers and chocolates, we never had this chance, i mean hindi ko sya naligawan, at hindi kami nakapagdate, we never experienced being a couple before marriage kaya babawi ako, kahit ngayon lang

We happily dine in together, we drank wine and we dance and talk for a while

Minsan gusto ko na lang maging selfish at manatili sa tabi ni Ella, i want her to be with me, be mine, all mine.. I want to keep her, love her and make a happy and big family with her. She completes me she fills the gap in life with her tender love and care and she even made me greedy and make me not to let go of her

But who am i to decide on what's good for her?, but there's only one thing to do and i will not let her be stuck with someone like me..

I will not let her suffer with me, ang gusto ko ay maging masaya sya kahit na ang kapalit niyon ay ang kasiyahan ko

Wala akong karapatan na ipagkait sa kanya ang kalayaan lalo na't yung relasyon sa pagitan namin ay wala ng patutunguhan. Sa pagdating ng panahon ay magiging isa na lamang akong ala ala mula sa kanyang nakaraan, isang mapait na ala alang madali na lamang kalimutan
