Ruthless Chairman (Alfonso Series #1)

Epilogue

Alejandro Alfonso III' s

At a young age, I fell in love with a 13 years old guy named Sage. I saw him at the gate of their school where my friends and I once visited.

The moment I laid my eyes on him my heart dropped as I saw an angelic face with the most beautiful smile. I wonder what's his name is? I badly want to know and so I transferred to their school and I became close to him and Elizalde.

His name is Sage Angelus and it suits him well.

Sa pagdaan ng mga araw at mga buwan, mas nakilala ko si Sage at aminado akong lalo akong nahuhulog habang mas nakikila ko siya. Nahihirapan na rin akong itago ang totoong nararamdaman ko para sa kanya. I am afraid that I might lose him if I confess.

"Sigurado akong higit pa sa pagkakaibigan ang tingin mo kay Sage, Alejandro. Hindi man mahalata ni Sage pero ibahin mo ako. I am silently observing you at alam kong iba ang nararamdaman mo para sa kanya."

Elizalde finds out the real feelings I have for Sage. I didn't try to deny anything instead I asked for his help. Hindi ko na kaya pang itago ang nararamdaman ko para kay Sage. I love him and I knew so we that this feelings I have is love and true.

"You sure you're taking the risk, Alejandro?"

I nodded at Eli whose busy arranging the table. We're setting up because today is the day that I will confess to Sage.

This is now or never.

"Sage, I love you. Alam ko ang nararamdaman ko ay totoo. I love you, Sage. The moment I laid my eyes on you, I fell. Akala ko noong una'y matatanggal kang basta-basta sa sistema ko but I was wrong. Lalo lang kitang iniisip sa pagdaan ng mga araw. That's why I transferred to your school, made friends with you and fell for you over and over again as I get to know you more. Sage, give me the chance to prove that this love is true."

Umawang ang mga labi ni Sage. Alam ko naman na nakakagulat ang ginawa kong 'to but then this is it. I held his hand lightly with all the hopes.

"Hayaan mong patunayan ko ang pagmamahal ko para sayo, Sage." I plead as I held his hand tighter.

Sage gave me a hesitant smile. Dahan-dahan niyang binawi ang kamay niya't bahagyang umiling. My heart felt like it was hammered.

"We're too young for you to say that you're in love with me, Alejandro. Mahirap paniwalaan at kung sakaling totoo man yan then I'm sorry dahil hindi ko kayang ibalik ang pagmamahal na sinasabi mo. I'm really sorry, Alejandro."

Sage rejected me and it feels like my whole world fell apart. Tinalikuran niya ako noong sinabi niyang hindi niya kayang ibalik ang pagmamahal ko. He didn't see the tears that fell from my eyes because he walked away from me. He broke my heart.

I will still pursue him even if he pushes me away. Gusto kong patunayan pa rin na totoo ang pagmamahal ko and maybe... just maybe... he'll learn to love me back.

Yun nga ang ginawa ko. Nagpatuloy kahit pa ilang ulit na niya akong itinulak papalayo, kahit pa ilang ulit niyang ipinamukha sa akin na kahit kailan hindi niya ako mamahalin pabalik, na kahit walang kinakapitang chance, patuloy akong umaasa because I love him truly.

"Sage," I called.

Huminto ito ngunit hindi lumingon. I am aware that people are staring at us but I don't give a damn about them. Ginagawa ko 'to dahil gusto ko at mahal ko si Sage.

"Sage, please. Just... Just love me back... Kahit konti lang. I'm begging you."

I never thought I would kneel down just to beg someone for love. I am an Alfonso, son of the most powerful people in the business world but here I am, kneeling down for the love of my life.
