My Willow Man (Book 1&2) (Unedited)

CHAPTER 86

Althea's POV:

SANDRO was driving us paalis ng venue. While Alex is playing sa likod.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

"Guess Anna didn't tell you yet?" He was smirking.

"About what?"

"Simon just proposed to her last night."

WHAAAAT.

Magpapakasal na ang pinsan ko?

Na-excite ako dun ah.

"Really? Oh my God... that's great news."

I exclaimed.

"It should have been us, right?" He said.

Aba.

Sana tayo talaga dapat yun.

Kung di ka lang marupok edi sana Mrs. Marcos na ako ngayon.

Hmm

I rolled my eyes at him when he suddenly took my hand and kissed it.

Napangiti naman ako.

Hindi pa pala kami ulit.

Di ko pa sya sinasagot.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Kissing my girlfriend" He casually said.

"Anong girlfriend? Hoy... di ka pa nga nag-uumpisang manligaw noh." I told him.

Tumawa naman sya.

"Alright.. alright. Sorry" He said.

"Oo nga pala, what were you doing there kanina? But may pa ganun kayo ni Ravi?"

I was curious.

Bigla lang syang sumulpot eh.

Parang pinag-planohan talaga.

"He actually... went to see me." He said.

"What?" Na-confused naman ako.

"Pintuhan nya ako kahapon sa hotel... he asked me if I was asking for a second chance with you and I said yes."

"That's why he texted me na puntahan kayo kanina and sinama ko na rin si Alex."

"Pogi namin di ba?" He was showing off their suit.

"Oo na.. pogi na kayong mag-ama" I said habang nagpipigil ng ngiti.

"He's a good guy." He suddenly said.

Napalingon naman ako.

"He is. If sya man yung pinili mo. I know you're gonna be okay."

"But I'm glad ako yung pinili mo" He was making pa-cute faces.

"Heh! Hindi pa kita sinasagot noh" I brushed him off.

Pagdating namin sa resortd world, dumiritso kami sa isang function room and halos lahat kakilala ko.

"Althea! It's so good to see you." Tita Irene said at niyakap ako.

"Hello tita. Kamusta po kayo?"

"I'm good. Namiss ka namin. Buti na lang talaga at natauhang itong Sandro namin. Hay naku" She rolled her eyes habang umiinom ng wine.

"Tita!" Sandro protested.

Agad naman nakipaglaro si Alex sa mga pinsan nyang maliliit.

"What? I like Althea, if single lang yung mga pinsan mo, sa kanila ko talaga irereto ito." Tita Irene said habang inaakbayan ako.

Luh.

Enebe.

"Tita naman" Sandro was pouting.

"Anyway, I'm so glad magpapakasal na si Simon at Anna." She continued.

"Where are they po?" I asked.

"Oh there.. puntahan mo na lang." I nodded and pinuntahan agad sila.

Pinuntahan naman ni Sandro si Tita Liza and Tito Bong.

"Cuz!" Anna exclaimed as she saw me.

"Cuz! Congratulations you two!" Sabay ko silang niyakap ni Simon.

"Thank you cuz... ikaw ang reason kung bakit ko to nakilala" Anna said habang nakayakap kay Simon.

"Oo nga, si Vinny pa nga ang gusto talaga nito eh" Simon said.

Habang sumimangot naman si Anna.

Natawa naman ako sa kanila.

"Hay naku. Ang importante... ikakasal na kayo!" I was so excited for both of them.

Bigla naman tumugtog ang Line without a hook na kanta.

"Ohhh. I like this song." Anna said.

"Let's go my future wife" Simon told her and naglakad sila papunta sa gitna.

They dance along that beautiful song.

I was standing sa gilid and watching them fall in love all over again.

I am so happy for them.

Anna and Simon are one of the people na hinding hindi ko kayang mawala sa buhay ko.

"Can I have this dance?" Sandro reached his hand towards me and asking me to dance with him.

I looked at his beautiful face.

His dazzling eyes.

His sincere smile.

Guess there is something, and there is nothing
There is nothing in between
And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer
Watching over me, he's singing
"She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a boy"
He's singing, "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a line without a hook"

I accepted his hand and we walked slowly towards the center of the dance floor.

"This song is so beautiful" I whispered to him.

His hand was on my waist and I placed my hand on his shoulders.

We were so close to each other that I can hear his own heart beat.

"Everything about you is beautiful Althea" He whispered.

Napangiti naman ako.

"If you would allow me to take care of you again.. to love you again I promise me you that I will do my very best just to prove to you na ikaw lang..."

"Ikaw lang ang babaeng gusto kong makasama habang buhay. I set my heart for you Althea" He leaned closer to me and placed his head on mine.

Halos magkayap na kaming dalawa.

"I'm am sorry fot hurting you... Althea.. I am sorry for not fighting for you before--" He looked at me and noticed that I was already tearing up.

"Are you okay--"

"Yes." I answered.

He was surprised.

"What?"

"Yes.. I want to start all over with you again."

I smiled at him.

"Just you... me and Alex." I said.

He was trying so hard na wag sumigaw.

He was already tearing up.

"I love you..."

"I love you.."

"I love you..." He said as he slowly kissed me on my lips.
