Did I Ever Lose Your Love?

Epilogue

"At yon na nga, 1 month after your Dad proposed to me ay ikinasal na kami,"

"Woahhh! That was a really wonderful love story, Mom!" tuwang-tuwa komento ni Rendell sa kuwento ng kaniyang ina.

"Bakit ka naman umiiyak, sweetie," my wife asked to our daughter.

"It was just, your story is inspiring. Sana katulad din ng boyfriend ko si Dad na hindi sumuko at ipinaglaban ang relasyon niyo. And I want to be as strong as you are Mom kasi tinanggap mo pa din si Dad sa huli," emosyonal na aniya.

Pinatahan namin siya at ang masayang kuwentuhan namin ay natapos. Kinailangan na naming papasukin sa loob ang mga anak namin dahil alam namin na pagod sila galing sa eskwelahan at kailangan nila ng pahinga.

"You did a great job telling them our story, Hon," sambit ko.

"Di ko naman maikukuwento iyon kung di mo sinimulan," sagot naman niya.

Sinubaybayan namin ang pagtakip-silim habang hawak-hawak ang kamay ng isa't-isa. I was smiling at her when my phone rings, it was Dizen whose calling me.

"What's up?" bungad ko.

"Dude, I seriously need to talk to your son," parang kinabahan ako sa sinabi niyang iyon.

Rendell got his looks from me pero di ko alam kung saan niya nakuha ang pagiging babaero niya. He always make girls cry, alam ko na mang di niya sinasadya ang iba but there are times na sinasadya niya talaga. I don't know what he did to Dizen's daughter, Ayesha, but it might be bad.

"Kung ano na naman ang ginawa ng anak ko sa anak mo, ako na ang humihingi ng paumanhin," sinsero kong sagot.

"No, dude! Gusto ko ngang magpasalamat sa anak mo because he made my daughter happy for this past few days. Di ko alam kung kailan naging sila but I know that it was just recently. You raised a good man, Ryle," nagulat pa ako sa sinabi niyang iyon.

"Thank you, Dizen. I'll make sure that Rendell won't hurt your girl,"

"Sige Dude! Bye na, pakisabi nalang kay Rendell iyong sinabi ko ha but when I see him, personal na akong magpasalamat!" pagpapaalam niya.

"Sure, bye!" paalam ko din saka binaba ang phone.

"Tama ba ang narinig ko? Rendell is now in relationship with Ayesha?" tanong naman ng asawa ko.

"Yes, and I think I'm wrong. Kaya din pala magseryoso ni Rendell. Sana lang huwag niyang saktan si Ayesha dahil malalagot ako kay Dizen," natatawa kong aniya.

"Sana lang,"

"Hon? I want to ask you something," seryoso kong sabi.

"Ang seryoso mo naman, anong tanong mo?"

"Did I ever lose your love?" I asked while looking straight to her eyes.

"You never lose my love, Ryle. Kahit noong naghiwalay tayo noon ay ikaw pa rin ang minahal ko. Yes, maybe destiny is playing with us pero heto pa rin tayo ngayon at masaya. Because we never lose each other's love from the start. Nanatili tayong matatag hanggang sa huli," sagot niya saka hinawakan ang kamay ko.

Even though we've faced a lot of struggles in our relationship, we stand still and strong. And it is because we never lost our love.

THE END.
