I decided to go to Honey's engagement party ,besides it's a very special day to her so I should come.
Some of our friends in London are also here.
"So Sandro how's work here?"Aron asked. One of our college friend.
"Tiring but it's all worth it"
"I heard you're running as the next congressman in the first district?"
"Yeah, besides it's in our blood to join politics and to help people"
"Goodluck for that Bro"
"Thanks"
"Hey guys thanks for coming!"Honey said when she came to us.
"Congats to the both of you, Honey and Mark!"
"Thanks"both of them answered.
We just talk about our old days in London and our current life now.
Nakikinig lang ako sa kanila but sometimes I also joined the conversation.
Everyone's drunk already, some of them are dancing na. I excused myself after kong nag play ng music kanina.
I'm a little bit drunk pero medyo kaya ko pa naman.
I'm in the veranda, nagpapahangin.
Medyo madilim pero dahil may mga pailaw kaya makikita pa naman ang dagat.
Napakapayapa.
Naaalala ko paborito niya laging puntahan ang dagat lalo na pag-umuwi sila sa Ilocos.She doesn't swim pero gusto niya lang pagmasdan.
Where are you na ba love?
Everyone's been telling me to accept na patay kana, na wala kana pero di ko kaya.
Pero paunti unti nawawalan na din ako ng pag-asa.
Should I give up na ba?
"Hey"
"Hmm"
"Iniisip mo siya no?"
"Walang araw na di ko siya iniisip Hon"malungkot na tugon ko.Lumapit naman siya sa akin at tinapik ang balikat ko.
"Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko para maibsan ang sakit na nararamdaman mo but always remember that I'm here for you, we're here for you Sands. I know kung nasaan man si Sophia malulungkot yon pag nakita kaniyang malungkot kaya smile ka na dyan lalo nat you're a free man na"masayang saad nito. Napatingin naman ako sa kanya.
"What do you mean?"naguguluhang tanong ko.Inabot naman niya ang isang brown envelope sa akin.
"Approved na yung Annullment niyo ng bruha kong kapatid kaya wala ng bisa ang kasal niyo. You're single na again!"sigaw niya at niyakap ako.
"Thanks Hon"masayang tugon ko.
"Wala yon,besides kabayaran ko na to sa ginawa ng family ko sa inyo. Kaya live a happy life, Beshy"she smiled.
"Thanks Beshy"
"Hahahaha, O sya I need to go back nasa loob, sunod kana ha"saad niya at pumasok na sa loob.
I opened the enveloped and I'm glad hiwalay na ako kay Tricia.
This is the reason why I left Sophia.
Tricia said that I got her pregnant but I know to myself that it's not true,Oo may nangyari samin ng minsang nagkayayaan kaming magkakaibigan na mag bar,Lumapit siya sa akin noon to say sorry for what she did last few years kaya hinayaan ko ito tutal matagal tagal narin naman besides alam kong masaya na ito sa bago niyang nobyo,pero nagising nalang ako kinabukasan na pareho na kaming walang saplot.Then one day,she said na I got her pregnant but I know it's not true but her parents forced me to marry their daughter.
My parents knows about this and they tried to help me but Tricia's father warned me that if I didn't follow them they will kill Sophia . So I have no choice but to follow them and left the person I loved.
The day of my wedding, only my dad and Matthew came.It's just a simple wedding because ayaw ng family nila na ilabas ito sa media dahil kilala din silang pamilya especially in the business industry and being pregnant at the young age ay isang kahihiyan sa pamilya nila, kaya pumayag ako na din ako besides ayoko rin naman ito.
I don't want Sophia to see this.
I don't want to hurt her more.
It's already been our 6 months since kinasal kami and even if hindi ko gusto itong ginagawa ko ay inalagaan ko parin siya lalo nat anak ko parin naman daw ang dinadala niya.
But I noticed na everytime na gusto kong hawakan ang belly niya ay umiiwas ito.And her baby bump is not big compare to the other mommies who are also 6 months pregnant.She doesn't also allow me to come with her monthly check up too.
Until one day Honey came and said that Tricia is not pregnant and lied to us.
I am very furious, I even wanted to punch her face but it's not how my parents raised me so I asked for Honey's help to file an annullment as she was a lawyer.
Their parents are also dissapointed with her so they let me do what I want.
Naging matagal lang dahil ayaw pumirma ni Tricia,idagdag narin ang process. While waiting na ma approved ito ay umuwi ako ng Pilipinas.
( Di ako sure about sa process ng annullment pero ang alam ko and based sa dati kong nabasa, medyo matagal ata yan.)
My family are happy about this and they are furious at the same time. Who wouldn't diba?
While I'm in the Philippines I started to work in the Congress and everytime na day off ko ay bumabyahe ako papunta sa Pampanga just to see her.
Kahit sa malayo lang ayos na sa akin basta makita ko siya.
She became more beautiful.
I really missed her so bad that I wanted to run and hug and kiss her, but I can't.
A few months ago tita Imee and Matthew asked me to work in Ilocos so I accept their offer.
I enjoyed working here because first it's our family's hometown, this is where we came from.
Second, I'm happy to help our kababayan and third, this is where I met the person I loved.
