When Mans found a perfect spot for him and Sara to talk, agad na din silang umupo para makapag usap.

As soon as they sat down, it was Sara who spoke first.

"Manases, I'm sorry. Mahal ko talaga Siya. God knows how much I tried to unlove him pero Hindi ko talaga kaya. He's all I'm thinking of when I wake up in the morning and before I sleep at night. Patawarin mo Ako pero mahal na mahal ko talaga si Bong"

Sara said as she held her face with both her hands and started to sob like a little girl.

When Mans heard what Sara said, bigla nalang syang napabuntong hininga ng malalim.

But instead of reacting to what she said, he told her

"You wanna know a secret? I was 15 when my family and I returned to Davao for a visit. Saktong napadaan kami sa may City Hall. I didn't know why, pero bigla kong naisipang magpa picture doon.
As soon as I posed for the picture, biglang may nakabangga sa aking magandang dalaga.

May dala dala siyang bouquet of red roses.

When she bumped into me, she had the sweetest smile on her face habang nag so sorry.

Binigyan pa ako ng isang pirasong rosas danyos daw.

Bayad sa naputol kong moment.

She's so funny and sassy na kahit ayaw Kong tanggapin, nagpupumilit talaga.

So I had no choice but take it.

When I held that rose, di ko maiwasang mapaisip na sana balang araw, makapangasawa ako ng babaeng tulad niya.
Maganda, nakakatawa, makulit.

Long story short, I did. Napangasawa kita.

"My rose princess Sara"

I'm not sure if you remembered that but I clearly did.

I loved you since I was 15 kaya laking gulat ko nung makita kita sa law school.

When I recognized you, ginawa ko talaga Ang lahat para mapalapit sayo.

Prior to law school, Hindi Naman talaga ako umiinom at naninigarilyo but all of those vices I tried to learn para lang mapabilang sa circle of friends mo during that time.

Awa ng diyos at nagbunga naman ang pagbibisyo ko at napalapit naman ako sayo.

Yun nga lang, I had to endure all the pain whenever I see your heart getting broken by every guy you dated. So when you finally expressed your interest to be with me, matagal ko munang pinag isipan. Not because I don't love you..

But because, I didn't want to be one of those people who broke your heart.

Pero nung hindi ka tumigil sa kaka propose sa akin, that's when I realized that we were meant for each other at kahit Anong mangyari, I will stand by you for the rest of our lives.

So I married you."

"Haaay.. ano ba Naman to, may naghihiwa ata ng sibuyas dito hapdi ng mata ko ah."

Pabirong side comment ni Mans sabay punas sa mga mata niyang lumuluha na.

When Sara saw that Mans was already in tears, mas lalong nadurog ang puso niya. She had no idea that he loved her long before she even loved him.

Gustuhin man niyang magsalita pero hindi niya alam ang sasabihin niya. All these years, she only thought of her pain at Hindi man lang niya naisip na baka may pinagdadaanan din ang asawa niya.
