"POPS!" Sumigaw naman si Vinny papalapit sa amin.
Oh Thank you Lord.
First time ko atang natuwa sa timing ni Vinny.
"What's up?" Tito Bong asked.
"They're having an animal show right now." He was excited.
"Talaga? Where's Alex?" Agad naman nauna maglakad si Tito Bong para puntahan sila.
"Thank you Vinny!" I excitedly embraced him.
"Ehh.. Althea.. why are you thanking me? " He gently pushed me away.
"Arte nito." I said.
"Wala basta thank you."
He just gave me a side eye.
Lunch time na ng makabalik kami sa hotel.
"So where should we go next?" Tita Liza asked habang kanya kanya na kaming nakaupo sa loob ng hotel room.
"Mom... hindi ka pa ba napagod?" Vinny asked habang nakahiga sa sofa.
Nasa kabilang kwarto naman si Simon at Anna, nagpapahinga ang buntis.
Tulog naman si Alex and tinabihan sya ni Sandro.
"Hon.. we need to go back na. May meeting ako with secretary Torres mamayang alas tres" Tito Bong said.
"Awww. Hon pwede bang sumunod na lang kami?" Tita Liza was pouting.
"Don't worry po tita, you can visit Alex naman anytime you want po" I said.
"About that, we need to discuss about you and Sandro" Tita Liza said.
Nagulat naman ako ng slight.
Anong sasabihin ko?
Baka mag-offer ng sampung milyo pakasalan ko lang ang anak nila.
Char.
"Okay! I'm out.." Vinny said as he stormed out of the room.
"Ano bang plano nyo?" She asked.
"Oo nga, we should discuss the wedding na" Sumagot naman si Tito Bong.
"Pops...mom...Althea and I haven't discuss anything about that." Sandro said habang hinahawi nito ang buhok ni Alex.
"Well we should. Alex was born our of wedlock so we need to fix that first."
"How about Anna and Simon first?" Sandro asked.
"Wedding is already on the table for them. Eh kayo? We also need to meet Althea's family."
"Oo nga, dito lang din ba sila nakatira sa Davao City?"
Natahimik naman ako.
Sandro looked at me for answers too.
"They don't po. Lumipat na sila ng bahay simula noong nabuntis ako"
Natahimik naman sila.
"Wha.. what do you mean?" Tita Liza asked.
"They throw me out po. When I got pregnant and noong hindi ko sinabi kung sino ang ama." I looked at Sandro.
Naiiyak ako kapag naiisip ko yun.
My own family turned they back against me.
"Why didn't you tell them the truth?" Tito Bong asked.
"I wanted to protect Sandro and your family po" Nakayuko na ako.
Pinipigilan kong umiyak.
"Ohhhhh sweetheart" Niyakap naman ako ni Tita Liza kaya lalo ng tumulo ang mga luha ko.
"I'm so sorry you've been through that" She said.
"Pero okay na po ako. I had Simon, Vinny and Anna. Mas naging okay po ako ng dumating si Alex." I told them.
"Well.. now you have us too." Tito Bong said.
I looked at Sandro and he was smiling at me.
I know he's back in my life too.
Naiwan naman kami ni Sandro sa kwarto when Tita Liza and Titong Bong prepared sa kwarto nila para bumalik ng Malacañang.
"He really enjoyed today" I said to Sandro na nasa tabi pa din ni Alex.
"Yeah...he was doing this little crunchies on his nose everytime he looks at the tiger" Sandro said.
I smiled at him.
"Althea?"
"Hmm?"
"Why can't we start all over again?"
"We talked about this Sandro. Kaninang umaga lang."
I said.
"Can you atleast reconsider?" He asked.
Natahimik naman ako.
"Please Althea" Tumayo naman sya at hinarap ako.
He was caressing my arm as he gazed into my eyes.
"Sandro..."
"I need you Althea...even before I knew about Alex.. I need you... I want you..."
He leaned slowly to kiss me.
Nararamdaman ko na naman yung mga buttetflies sa tiyan ko.
"Sandro..."
"Althea..."
I closed my eyes.
Then he slowly kiss me on my lips.
Hindi ko naman alam bakit but I didn't stop him.
After a long time...
It still feels the same.
"I am still in love with you..." He whispered.
Natulala naman ako sa mga titig nya.
"Sandro... can you..." I tried to turn away from him.
But he stopped me.
"Althea... for 2 years... ikaw lang ang iniisip ko. I did everything to be better..I became a congressman to make you proud."
"Althea.. I did all that for you" He whispered habang niyayakap ako.
"Sandro..please..can you calm down?" I told him.
"Hindi madali yung hinihiling mo... it's gonna take some time"
"Kahit gaano pa katagal Althea... liligawan kita ulit. I will do everything to gain your trust again just please let me"
He said.
Nag-isip naman ako.
I looked at Alex na natutulog pa din.
Ayokong ipagdamot sa anak ko yung pagkakataon na magkaroon sya ng buong pamilya.
"Okay." I answered.
"Okay? Like okay--"
"Okay like pwede ka ng manligaw ulit."
I said habang nakangiti.
I can see how his face light up.
Niyakap nya naman ako ng mahigpit
"Thank you....Althea... thank you darling" He whispered.
I haven't heard that for a long time.
And para akong kinuryente sa kilig.
Ay no.
Behave Althea.
Magpakipot ka naman konti.
"Oh? Kayo na ulit?" Vinny said na nakatayo na sa pintuan.
Simon and Anna was behind him na nakangiti din.
"Hindi pa." I answered.
"Not yet but soon." Hinawakan naman ni Sandro ang kamay ko at hinalikan ito.
Hindi po ako marupok. Pramis.
