Gabb's
Ilang araw ang nakalipas matapos ang naging trip namin. And I can say that it was the most memorable event in my life. Syempre dahil kay Ella, finally hindi na namin kailangan magtago. Some of our friends ay hindi matanggap ang relasyon na meron kami ni Ella pero wala naman silang magagawa kaya kahit disappointed sila unti unti nilang tinatanggap.
Napangiti naman ako ng maramdaman kong may yumakap mula sa likod ko. It's Ella. My home, my safest place.
"What are you thinking, akin?" She whispered, I smiled habang nakatanaw kami mula dito sa balcony ng condo namin.
"I'm thinking about us." I said at hinarap ko naman sya and I gave her a peck sa labi nya.
"Akin, kung sina ate sh---"
"It's not that akin. Alam ko naman na unti unti nila tayo matatanggap gaya ni Ate abby, Ate sela and coco." I cut her off.
I cupped her face, "What I mean is, I'm thinking about our future together." I said at unti unti naman gumuhit sa labi nya ang napaka gandang ngiti nya.
"Aww. Akin talaga, don't worry I promise to be with you in the future." She smiled sweetly.
"Someday I'll be the best cardiologist and syempre as your future wife, I'll take care full responsibility of your heart." She said as I felt my cheeks heating up.
"Ang cheesy mo akin ah! Hindi naman halatang patay na patay ka sakin." Pang aasar ko sakanya and she smacked my arm at tumawa.
"Totoo naman kasi akin. And ikaw alam ko naman na magiging sikat ka din na neurologist. Biruin mo yon akin, parehas tayong magiging doctor. That was amazing right?" I saw her very happy bago yumakap sa gilid ko.
Masaya nga ba ako?
Sa naging gusto ko?
Sa kursong pinili ko?
"Akin, what if hindi ito yung gusto ko?" Saad ko at napakalas naman sya sa pagkakayakap sakin.
She look at me. She's confused.
"What do you mean? Ayaw mo na mag doctor? I thought that was your dream?" She asked me.
I let out a sigh before looking up preventing my tears.
"It was my dad's dream for me." I said.
"Throughout my life, I always wanted to be a pilot simula bata palang ako pangarap ko na yon para sa sarili ko." I was in teary eye when I returned my gaze to her.
"I miss my mom..." My tears started to fall.
"I know she'll be happy pag naging piloto ako, dahil pangarap nya din yon para sakin eh. Noong bata ako, tuwang tuwa ako dahil laging may pasalubong si mommy sakin na airplane toy. She even brought me to his friend that owns an airlines company. Until now, hindi ko makalimutan yung sinabi nya sakin before she passed away. I want to fulfil my promise to her. Baka sakaling sa himpapawid maramdaman kong kasama ko si mommy."
I felt her both hands cupping my face.
"Shhhh. Don't cry akin, I'm sure your mommy watching over us right now. Hindi nya gustong makita kang umiiyak sige ka." She said with calmly.
"Hindi pa naman huli ang lahat, you can still choose your dream baby. I'll support you like your mom, I will be the happiest if you became a pilot." Saad nya kaya niyakap ko sya muli ng mahigpit.
"Y-you do?" I stuttered, I heard her soft chuckle.
"Oo naman. Sino ba naman ako para hadlangan kung saan ka magiging masaya. Nandito lang ako lagi sa tabi mo para suportahan ka." She responded.
