My Ex, My Professor

Chapter 30: Proposal

Chapter 30—Proposal

 

 

Viel's P.O.V

 

 

          Tahimik kong pinapanuod si Hanna sa pagbebenda nya ng kamay ko. Seryosong-seryoso sya and at the same time para syang nasasaktan na ewan. Hindi ko maintindihan yung ekspresyon sa mukha nya. Seryoso na in pain na ewan. But she still looks beautiful when she does that. She's beautiful in every way and everything she do, did, does.

          "Ayan! Tapos na!" may pagmamalaki sa boses nito.

          Akala mo naman ang laking bagay ng ginawa nya eh no? =___= Yaan mo na. Mahal ko naman kaya pag bigyan na lang.

          Binukas-sara ko yung kamay kong may benda. Good. I can still move it. No too much damage done.

          Pinanuod ko syang tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo nito sa sahig sa may harapan ko. She looks beautiful whenever she moves at hindi ako mapapagod na panuorin sya until I die.

          Nagstreching pa si Hanna at itinaas ang mga kamay nito sa ere saka pinagpag yung damit na suot nito.

          "Now, time for dinner..."

          Napatingin ako sa may labas ng wala sa oras. Gabi na pala. Parang ang bilis naman ng oras. I still want to stay with her kahit sandali na lang. But, I need to bring her back to their house. Even though her place is here, still, she needs to go home...where she actually lives.

          Pumunta si Hanna sa may kusina. Sinusundan ko pa din sya ng tingin. Inayos nya yung mga kalat na ginawa ko sa may kitchen counter at saka kumuha ng mga available stock sa may refrigerator. She starts preparing food.

          She looks good in our kitchen. She perfectly fits in this house...in our house.

          "Hanna..." tawag ko sa kanya.

          Nag-angat sya ng tingin sa akin with that confused, adorable look. I smiled.

          "Let's get married." nakangiting sabi ko.

          Nakita ko kung paano nya nabitawan yung kutsilyo na hawak nya sa gulat.

          "W-What d-did you—"

          Hindi nya matapos yung gusto nyang sabihin kaya lumapit ako sa kanya. At nang nasa harapan ko na sya I place my arms on the counter saka mas inilapit yung mukha ko sa kanya.

          "I said, let's get married." I said with as smile on my lips. "I want to spend the rest of my life staring at you, standing beside you, and getting this close to you. So, marry me."

          Matapos noon, tinanggal ko yung singsing na nasa index finger ko. This is the brotherhood ring me, JD and the rest have. Biglaan ang proposal ko kaya wala akong mahanap na ibang singsing. But, I'll propose to her again and make it so special that she won't forget it for the rest of her life...our lives together.

          I place the silver ring on her ring finger her saka ko iyon hinalikan.

          "Would you like to spend the rest of your days with me Hanna?"

          I don't if I say the wrong words. I am not that good when it comes to proposal or sort of. Bago pa lang sa akin ang bagay na ito. But, I was expecting that Hanna will be so happy when she hears this. But I guess she's not.

          Binawi ni Hanna yung kamay nya saka dahan-dahang inalis sa harapan ko ang singsing na sinuot ko.

          "I'm sorry Viel...but..." I think she's going to cry. And I don't know why. "But I can't accept your proposal."

          I am stunned on what she just said.

          "P-Pero...bakit?"

          "There's no happy ever after in real life story Viel. Alam mo yan. And marriage thing is not for us...for me."

          "Paano mo naman nasabi yan?"

          "Viel I...I..." huminga ng malalim si Hanna bago yumuko at saka nag-angat ng tingin ulit sa akin. "Viel, I'm sick."

          Oo nga pala. Yung sinabi sa akin ni JD. About Hanna being sick. Bakit ko ba nakalimutan ang bagay na iyon?

          "Mamatay na ako Viel. Any minute or any second by now pwede akong mamatay. And that's the reason why I left you...because I don't want you to know about this. I don't want you to worry about me. I prefer to be hurt alone rather than to feel your pity..."

          Tiningnan ko lang sya sa loob ng ilang segundo saka ako umikot at pumunta sa direksyon nya.

          Ngayong magkaharap na kami, nakikita ko  na pinipigilan nya na pumutak yung mga luha sa mata nya. I hate seeing Hanna sad.

          Unti-unti kong tinawid yung maliit na pagitan sa aming dalawa saka ko sya niyakap.

          "Viel—"

          "I know...I know all about that..."

          Napaangat sya ng tingin sa akin. Wondering. Asking.

          "JD told me everything..." I smiled at her. "So you don't need to walk away again Hanna. Because this time, I'll be here to stay."

          "Kahit anong tulak mo sa akin palayo. Kahit na tumakbo ka pa ng malayo. Kahit na gumawa ka pa ng paraan para lumayo ako, hindi ko gagawin iyon. I will stand still beside you Hanna. And this time, I will not let you go."

          "Viel..."

          "Sino ba ang nagsabi sa'yo na mamatay ka na? Doktor? Bakit? Diyos ba sya para sabihin kung kelan ka mamatay?" sabi ko saka kinuha ang kamay nya. "Hanna, you don't need to suffer alone anymore   . I'm here with you. And together, we will conquer anything."

          Marahan kong niyakap si Hanna. Showing her how much I want to be with her. How much I want to spend the rest of my days with her.

          "I really love you Hanna..."

          She returned my hug and hugs me tight. I feel tear drops on my shoulder but I don't mind. She can cry her heart out. I will take them all in.

          "I do Viel..."

          Nagulat ako sa sinabi nya kaya bahagya ko syang nilayo sa akin.

          "A-Anong—"

          "Yes, I will marry you Viel."

          Wala akong mapaglagyan ng saya na nararamdaman ko ngayon kaya bigla ko na lang niyakap si Hanna at binuhat.

          "Thank you Hanna! Thank you!"

          "Ano ba Viel ibaba mo nga ako!"

          "Ayoko. Hindi na kita ibaba Mrs. Viel Arvueva."

          We are so happy. Too much happy.

          Finally! The girl I long for 4 years, the girl I fall in love with, will become my bride and wife in the near future.

A/N: Sensya na sa slow update dito ah? Na stack kasi yung utak ko dito. Walang lumalabas na ideas. Thank God at nagtapos ko na ang chapter na 'to. Tagal na 'tong nakatengga eh! Hahaha!
