Saying goodbye is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do, but if it was a true relationship it will hurt them just as bad, and one day they will realize they need you.. And will come back to stay forever.
A week have passed after Irene and Greggy's annulment, Irene decided to fulfill all of her promise to her daughter, "Anak are you done packing, kasi mamayang gabi na yung flight natin" Irene said to her daughter while brushing her hair "yes mommy, tapos na po ako makapag impake" Celestine said while standing up from the vanity
"Mommy can I go somewhere before we leave" Celestine asked Irene "yes nak you can go, matagal din tayo dun bago tayo makabalik" Irene said to Celestine "ok mommy, you can go first na sa airport susunod na lang ako" Celestine said before going out of the room
She didn't told Irene that she'll go to Greggy's company, so she could atleast say goodbye to her father, so she could atleast hug and kiss him one last time, Celestine went to her car and drive already
After a few minutes she arrived at the company, she parked her car and entered the office, the employees greeted her and Celestine went in the receptionist "Iris nasaan si Daddy" Celestine asked one of the employees "ay ma'am nasa opisina po niya, gusto mo tawagin ko po" Iris asked "no need, I'll go, I want to surprise him" Celestine said and Iris's eyes went wide "ay maa-" Celestine cutted her off "don't wore I know where it is" Celestine said as she walked in the elevator
She arrived at the top floor and she walked where her father's office is, she was about to entered the office when she heard laughter, she opened it slightly and she saw her father eating with Bettany and her daughters "Ano ba papa, excited nakaya kami sa paglabas ng bago naming kapatid" Sylvia said
"Ano sa tingin mo kaya ang gender" Mae asked them "I don't know pero sana lalaki" Greggy said to them "bakit papa ayaw mo ng girl, para may tres Marias na kayo ni mama, ako, si ate Sylvia tapos si baby" Mae said to him "no it's not that, but may kasunduan kasi kami ni Tin, she would only accept the baby if it's a boy, ayaw niya ng sister gusto niya siya lang yung daddy's little princess" Greggy said to them
"Ang oa naman nya" Mae said and Greggy just chuckled, Celestine decided to leave already, "ay ma'am nagkita po ba kayo ni sir Greggy" Iris asked her "nope, but can you like give this adobo and letter to him, once his second family left" Celestine said as she gave Iris a bag before going back to her car to drive directly in the airport
Meanwhile at the office, "at eto pa, after ng one on one namin nila Celestine at tita Irene sa BGC, sabi nila gusto nila daw ipa-dna test yung baby para daw makasiguradong hindi tayo oportunista" Mae said to them and that caught Greggy's attention "grabe naman yung Celestine nayun, dahil ba hindi natin sila kasing yaman, at kasing sosyal, ganun na kababa yung tingin nila sa atin" Sylvia said to them
"Alam nyo masanay na kayo kay Celestine, ganun lang talaga siya pinalaki ni Irene, utak muna bago emosyon, pero mabait na bata si Celestine talagang nagmana lang siya kay Irene" Greggy said to them "anyway una na kami Greggy, thank you for your time" Bettany said before leaving the office, as they left, his secretary entered the office
"Yes Iris, do you need anything" Greggy asked her "ay sir nagpunta po dito si ma'am Celestine" Iris said and that caught Greggy's attention "bakit daw, teka nasaan siya, dapat pinapunta mo siya dito" Greggy said to Iris "ay sir umalis na po siya, pero pinabibigay po sa inyo tong ulam at sulat" Iris said as she gave him the bag
"Thank you, you may leave" Greggy said and Iris left the office, Greggy opened the bento box and he saw adobo and rice, Greggy picked the spoon up and began eating, 'Daddy, here oh try this adobo, me and mommy make bati kanina, just to surprise you for father's day, we know that it's not perfect but we did our best to cook that' he remembers the day when Celestine first cook his favorite adobo
He picked the letter up and began reading it
Dear Daddy
Thank you for all the times you held my hand, and my heart, and everything in between. For loving me, when no part of me wanted to, and when no part of me was able to. For seeing right through my soul, when I had no ability to do so. For listening to my heart, for comforting it, never letting it believe it was alone.
Thank you for the invaluable advice. For accepting me, as I am, and loving every part of me. For respecting my space, all the times I could not open my heart to you. For being my voice, all the days I was unable to speak. For laughing with me through my joy. For crying with me through my pain.
But daddy, sometimes goodtimes come to an end, like right now, specially when you and mommy is very complicated unlike before, I wrote this letter as a farewell, your little Gorio will leave her stars na daddy, but always remember kahit wala ako jan with you, always remember that you may fail as a faithful husband, but you became the best father that every kid wish to have, I promise I'll be back daddy, I love you to the moon and back, Au revoir, until we meet again
Love,
Your little Gorio
Greggy cried as he read his daughter's letter for him, he checked the time and he immediately run towards his car to catch up with Irene and Celestine,
"ANO BA NAMAN, WALA NA BANG IUUSAD TONG TRAFFIC NA TO" Greggy shouted and he have no choice but to leave the car and run, not caring about all the whispers and shouts from the people
He arrived at the airport and he run in the gate entrance "sir bawal po talaga" the guards said as they stopped Greggy from passing by "papasukin nyo ako, nasa loob yung mag-ina ko please" Greggy pleaded and the airport manager talk to the guards as they let Greggy in
"Excuse me do you know where Irene and Celestine is" he asked the manger also known as one of his friends "hindi pa nagtatawag baka hindi pa sila nakakaalis" he said to Greggy "CELESTINE, IRENE, I'M ALREADY HERE PLEASE WAG NA KAYO UMALIS" Greggy cried as he went to the nearest line
"Sir are you looking for Miss Marcos and Miss Araneta" one of the flight attendant asked him "yes I'm looking for them" Greggy said desperately "I'm sorry sir, but there plane left early due to their schedule" the flight attendant said and broke Greggy's heart
They're gone, his mag-ina is gone, his first love and daughter left him because of his stupidity, Greggy left the airport and the rain starts to fall down, Greggy cried as he walked under the rain night "I'll see you again my moon, I'll wait until you come back Mi Luna and Mi Sol" Greggy said as he looked at the sky while he let his tears fall together with the rain
To be continue
