Exclusively Yours

Epilogue

"Doc. Ang daming nakapilang pasyente sa labas." Alexa said.

I look at my phone.

Puppy calling...

Kanina pa ito tumatawag pero hindi ko masagot dahil ang daming pasyente.

To. Puppy

I'll call you later.

I texted him.

After a long tiring day, I decided to take a nap before going home. I already told Alexa na mauna na sya.

I woke up when I heard noises from outside my office.

Binuksan ko ang pintuan at gulat na mukha nila Ark, Matt at Jack ang tumambad sa akin.

"Do you need something? The clinic is already closed so we're not accepting patients."

Mukhang nag-aalangan silang magsalita.

"Well the thing is. Hindi namin maka-usap ng matino si Eve. He keeps looking on his phone all day like he's waiting for a call. Kapag may tumatawag sa kanya na mukhang hindi naman nya hinihintay sa nasisira ang mood nya. We just concluded that it's you. Is it you?" Ark said.

Napahilot ako sa sintido ko. "I forgot to call him."

Sabay-sabay na bumuntong-hininga yung tatlo.

I apologetically smiled. "Where is he?"

"Office." Sabay-sabay nilang sagot.

I nodded. "Can you bring me there?"

"It's our pleasure." Matt said.

"That would be a good idea." Ark said.

Jack just nodded.

Dumeretso na kami sa sinasabi nilang office ni East.

I thought it's his office in his house but not. It's his office in his company.

Kaya pala napakaformal ng suot ng tatlong ito.

Napapayuko ako dahil panay ang tingin sa akin ng mga empleyado dito lalo na ng mga babae. Parang gusto nila akong balatan ng buhay.

What's their deal?

Sumakay kami ng elevator hanggang makarating ng top floor.

Kumatok si Matt sa isang malaking pintuan.

"WHAT THE FUCK! I TOLD YOU NOT TO BOTHER ME!" East yelled from inside.

Umatras si Matt at nakangiwing tumingin sa akin.

I get my phone and dialed his number.

"Honey..." he softly said. I know he's pouting right now.

"Why?"

"Nothing. I love you."

I smiled.

Binuksan ko ang pintuan at masama ang tingin ni East pero ng makita ako ay agad itong napalitan ng ngiti. Tinanggal nito ang suot na eyeglass at mabilis naglakad patungo sa akin para yakapin ako.

Agad na nagsipag-alisan ang tatlo dahil sa nasaksihan. Iiling-iling pa ang mga ito.

"I miss you, honey."

I chuckled. "You just drive me to work this morning."

I pull out of the hug.

"I still miss you. Let's have dinner?"

I nodded.

Inilahad nya ang kamay nya at ipinatong ko naman ang kamay ko wearing the simple diamond ring.

I will never forget that grand proposal.

The music, the fireworks, the yacht....

My family, his family, Matt, Ark, and Jack. They are all present in that most unforgettable moment.

We even visited mom and tell her that we are getting married.

Everything is perfect.

"Why are you staring at me, honey?" he asked.

Nasa elevator na kami at pababa na.

I smiled at give him a kiss on the cheeks.

He smiled. "That's a reasonable answer."

We both chuckled.

Paglabas namin ng elevator ay lahat ng mata ay nakatingin sa amin at sa magkahawak naming kamay.

Akala ko ay tuloy-tuloy na ang lakad namin ngunit bigla syang tumigil.

"By the way. This is my fiancee. My soon-to-be wife. My honey. And I'm exclusively hers, only."

Gulat ang hitsura ng mga tao. Their jaw almost dropped.

"I told you, the rumor is real. Mr. Eve is getting married."

"Oh my god. Mr. Eve? Is getting married?"

"Itigil na ang pila. Mr. Eve is getting married."

East leaned and whisper in my ear.

"I'm exclusively yours, only honey."

I smiled and whisper back.

"I'm exclusively yours, too."
