If what Enzo told me days ago was true, Saturday din ang dating niya dito. I've been expecting him to come and see me here since I really have no plans on going home with just those three days that he gave me.
Kung uuwi lang din ako, kung aalis man ako ng Bohol, I might as well finish my thirty-day trip, since it was my plan all along. Even before I met Grayson, I planned to stay here for thirty days.
Friday night came and even though Grayson and I have finished having sex, I still couldn't sleep. Knowing that Jenna and Enzo might arrive at the same time tomorrow, of course, who can sleep soundly tonight?
"Grayson . . ." I said as I stared at the ceiling.
"Hmm?" I saw from my peripheral vision that he looked at me. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
I smiled a little before looking at him. "I just have a lot of thoughts in my mind."
"Like what?" he said as he put his palm on my cheek.
I shrugged. "What would you feel if . . . if you saw your daughter once again?"
He became silent after that. He looked away but he didn't move from his position. He just took a deep breath before looking at me again as he answered.
"Of course, I'd be very, very happy." He sighed. "But I understand her mom's decision to take my right to see her away. I doubted her-both of them-so . . . I deserved this." He chuckled slightly. "I deserved not to see both of them."
I pouted slightly. "Aren't you . . . hoping for a chance? To make things right? To . . . to apologize?"
He smiled. "Araw-araw ko namang pinagdarasal 'yon. Pero syempre . . . it's Jenna's decision to do that, not anyone else. Kahit ilang beses ko pang ipagdasal na magkita ulit kami-na ipakita niya sa akin ang anak ko-kung ayaw pa rin niya, wala naman akong magagawa. All I can do for now is wait."
I nodded as I held his hand on my cheek. He intertwined our fingers.
"I'll pray for that too, Grayson. I know that, a day will come that you'll see and hug her once again."
He smiled. "Thank you, Summer. Thank you for sticking up with me after knowing how asshole I was back then with my family."
He moved closer as he hugged me. And then I felt that he already fell asleep a few minutes after.
Family . . .
Right . . . they are a family. And there is a chance for them to be one again. Kung may paraan pa naman talaga para magkaayos sila, sino ako para ipagkait sa kanila 'yon, 'di ba?
Kahit para na lang sa bata . . . magpaparaya ako.
Kahit para na lang kay Love . . . bibitiwan ko siya . . . 'wag niya lang maranasan lumaki nang walang ama katulad ni Grayson. He's a great dad, I know. He's just wasn't perfect. Nagkataon lang siguro na sobrang bigat ng pagkakamali niya kaya ganito.
