Di 'to promotion ha 😭😭

Xion's Point of View

"Xion Andrei Lim, is found...." Panimula ng judge.

Ngayon na ang araw na malalaman ko kung makukulong ba ako ng ilang taon pa o tuluyan na akong makakalaya.

Nanatili rin ako sa loob ng selda sa loob ng ilang buwan at masasabi kong Isa iyon sa hindi inaasahang moment sa buhay na kung saan malalaman mo ang tunay na halaga ng buhay sa isang tao.

"Is found Innocent in the crime of RA 9165 or comprehensive dangerous drugs act." The judge announced and I heard the people cheering, my friends and my family.

But the one I want wasn't here.

I promised to myself that no matter what the consequences I will be up against, lalaban ako. Para sa kanya.

At para na rin sa akin.

"Nasa New York siya pre, model na siya oh." My friend tapped my shoulders as I saw him walk to the runway.

She was stunning. Her beauty was just so unbelievable. I really wanted to go there and hug her tight pero hindi ko magawa.

Nandidiri ako sa sarili. I was jailed for almost 3 months!

I feel like she was far from me. So far that I can't even reach her.

"You're so far away from me love. Balik ka na ha. Nawawalan na ako ng liwanag dahil wala ka." I said as I touched her smiling face waving at the screen of the laptop.

I will wait for her. Kasi kung kami talaga, fate will bring us back together.

Kung saan kami unang nagkita.

Sa Airport.

That's where the first time I saw her and suddenly fell in love with her dashing smile and her beautiful eyes.

If just how fast I fell for her, no words can even describe how fast it did. I was just in denial of my feelings back then.

Now is the time to show it off.

Agad akong nagmadali na magpuntang airport, umaasa na nandito siya ngayon. Uuwi siya. Uuwi siya sa akin.

Bumalik ako sa dating puwesto kung saan siya unang nakita.

Kung sana bumalik ang dati. Sana siya pa ang kasama ko ngayon.

I didn't even realize my tears are slowly falling down my cheeks.

Isa na lang ang pwede kong gawin, iyon ay ang umasa.

3 years later. It was the same. Binabad ko lang ang sarili sa trabaho. Just patiently waiting for her return.

"Just find someone to endorse our product. Kaya mo na yan. That's your job right?" I coldly said to my assistant. He just sighed at think. And after a second he looked at me and smirked.

"Basic sir. I already found someone."

I just didn't mind his words. Bahala na siya diyan.

After a week, aalis na sana ako ng biglang tumawag ang guard sa ground floor.

"Ah sir, aakyat po diyan si Ma'am Clea. May endorsement po siya ngayon."

I was stunned.

Hindi ako alam ang gagawin ngayon.

Maraming mga bagay ang sumasagi sa isip ko. Mga tanong, posibilidad at ang pinanghahawakan kong pagmamahal sa kanya.

As I looked at her eyes. Hindi ko maiwasang mamahangha.

It was the same eyes I used to love before until now.

Kaya naman noong may nangyari sa amin ay hindi ko malaman kung ano ang mararamdaman dahil sa loob ng halos apat na taon na hindi siya kasama ay siya rin ang last sex encounter ko.

Our relationship to each other was starting to get better and better each day have pass.

"Clementine?" I was surprised and I have accidentally kissed her.

S-she was alive.

"Don't do that Xion. I want my ate to be happy. Please, let her feel the happiness she deserves. She deserves the world's bests. And I know you can give her that. I can sense it na siya talaga ang gusto mo. Wag kang maguguluhan." For the last time I hugged her.

It was just a small conversation fro the two of us but it soothed me.

Patakbo akong patungo sa kay Clea.

Ngayon siya na. Sa kanya na iikot ang mundo ko na sa una pa lang ay siya na ang laman.

"Go Xion!! Chase your love!" I can hear Clementine's voice full of happiness and love.

Thank you Clem.

She was acting weird and weird? Palagi na niya lang ibinabalik ang usapan sa nakaraan.

That just hit me. Maybe she was carrying my child. Our child.

And I was right. She was pregnant.

"Sabi ko diba, wag kang aalis mag isa?!" Galit kong pagsermon sa kanya.

"Sorry na hubby. Don't be angry na please." She sobbed lightly.

Wala akong magagawa at naawa rin ako sa kanya kaya niyakap ko siya at tinahan.

"Para kasi sa safety niyo yun ni baby love. Sorry sa pagsigaw ha, I love you."

"Talaga you love me?"

"Ofcourse."

Ngayon na. Ang araw kung kailan matatali na ako sa kanya. Ito na yung araw na magtatakda na hindi masusukat ng panahon kung kayo talaga ng isang tao o hindi.

Masusukat ang pagmamahalan kung ito ay tunay at puno ng tiwala.

"Dahil sa bawat paglalaro natin sa nakaraan, isang ginuntuang pintuan ang magdadala sa atin sa kinabukasang matagal-tagal na nating inaasam. Dahil sa bawat paglakbay na wala ang Isa, magiging madilim ang mundo. At ngayon na mayroon ng maliit na version ko, I Xion Andrei Lim will promise to love you, Marianne Clea Abañarez until do us part."

Dahil sa bawat dilim ng buhay ko, ikaw ang nagsindi at nagliwanag nito.

Binigyan mo ng kulay ang mundo kong 'tila pawakas na.

At ngayon kasama na kitang mangangarap patungo sa kinabukasang makulay dahil sa pagbuo ng presensya mo.

THE END!

Tapos na.

From writing this at Mid of August until now. Natapos ko na rin ang isa sa mga istoryang nagbigay ng napakagandang aral sa atin.

Thank you for reading. I hope you gained the best lesson these two have to offer to life.

Love, Kio_In_Black
