Offered Conviction from the Past (Justice Series #2)

CHAPTER 22

JS2: ZARI'S POV.

When you pay attention to the time it run slow but when you just enjoy every time of your life... you'll never realize that the time were running too fast.

"Happy Anniversary!"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita si Kaden sa veranda nang lumabas ako saglit para kumuha ng tubig. Malaki ang ngiti niya sa labi habang hawak hawak ang slice na chocolate cake.

Hindi ko mapigilang maramdaman ang mga paro paro sa tyan ko lalo na nung lumapit siya para halikan ang noo ko.

"Happy Anniversary my love,"he greeted once again.

I tip toe to reach his cheek and give him a peck. Lumiwanag ang mukha niya."Let's blow the candle?"

Tumango ako at hinipan na nga namin ang kandila. He reach for my hand after it, he planted a soft kiss before he pulled me for a hug.

It's 12: 06 AM. January 18.

"Hindi ka natulog para rito?"tanong ko nang nag umpisa na kami sa pagkain ng cake.

He nodded."Hmm, this day will always be important for me.."

"It is for me too, Kaden. Thank you for this surprise. Wala akong inexpect, but then you did kaya thank you."

Inabot niya ang kamay ko at mahigpit na hinawakan."This day is special for us, let's spend our time celebrating."

"Hmm,"tumango ako.

Sinulit namin ang natirang oras sa living room, nagkukwentuhan. Nakatitig lang ako kay Kaden habang patuloy siya sa sinasabi. Lagi ko itong sinasabi pero hindi ako magsasawa na pasalamatan siya...he stayed for me, he love me unconditionally.

He pull me into a hug when he noticed that I'm teary eyed. Not the usual me. He pat my head.

"2 years of being in a relationship is not hard though.."he whisper.

Tumango lang ako at nag aabang sa susunod na sasabihin niya.

"I've always pray for our office to be near to each other but then, it did not happen. Not a big deal at all since I always sneak out to visit you.."

"Yeah, ilang beses kanang nahuhuli ni Atty. Villarrial."

"I'm so happy right now tangi..."I look up him."I still can't believe we've reached this far..2 years na tayo. Isang taon na rin tayong abogado."

"Time really flies so fast.."bulong ko.

Namuo ang katahimikan sa pagitan namin habang patuloy naman siya sa paglaro sa buhok ko. Napakagat labi ako habang nagbabaliktanaw na naman sa nakaraang taon.

"Noong pumasok ako sa law school akala ko hindi ko matatapos, kasi walang suporta. I'd really need parents support on the path I want to take. Sino bang hindi diba? I thought I'd give up law school but then two person came to cheer me up and remind me why I chose that path.."

Tiningnan ko siya."Ikaw yun at si Tita Sheila..kayo ang pinaka importanteng tao sa buhay ko kaya sana dito lang kayo lagi. Sana wag kayong mawala."

"When everyone turn their back on you, just remember you have me. I will never leave you, I will always be here to support and clap for you.."

"Thank you,"

"No, thank you Zari. Thank you for coming into my life and choosing law school. If you never did continue, I'd never met you. Thank you so much for continuing...you're such a strong woman, I'm always proud of you."

I nodded and wipe my tears away, he kissed my cheeks and suggested to take a nap already since we'll gonna have a heavy day.

What if Kaden disappear in my life?
