HUMIHILOM NA
PARANG SUGAT

[Amethyst]

We just finished eating dinner. Simon and Elise went back here because tito bong is going to announce something.

As they get back, I can see that Elise was wiping her tears off. There most be something that happened, but anyways.. That's their life whatever it is. I should stay off.

"Simon, take your seat. Bakit parang hindi ka mapakali dyan?" Tito bong asked him. He just gave a him a look without any emotions. "Nothing dad." sagot nya.

"The reason why I called everyone to be here is, I'm going to announce something about this comming election. I decided to come back to politics again"

"Thank God you thinked of that bonget, you've been workless since you lost the last election 6 years ago. Anyways, what position are you running to?" Tita Imee asked.

"Liza and I decided that I should run for president candidacy, we got everyone's support. The only problem that I'll be dealing is the other people that's running for president."

"Well that's good, kuya bonget. You totally got my whole support. Just tell us when you will file your candidacy" Tita Airene said.

"Goodluck tito bong!" I greeted him.

"Thank you. I'll be needing everyone's support for this election after I file my candidacy. Once again, I'm thanking you all for comming on this very special dinner" He thanked everyone.

After that. We bid our goodbyes but sandro and I didn't leave because we're staying here for a month. We're just going to buy a case of beer because sandro's cousins are staying.

While waiting for Simon, I heard Elise talking to tita Liza. "Tita, please forgive me that I couldn't love your son just like I did before.. Forgive me that I left your son when the issue happened. Im really sorry tita, your son deserves better" She said while tita Liza was hugging her.

"Forgiveness doesn't have a cost. It's okay, iha. If I were you I would really leave bong for doing that to me.. I do understand that you have fell out of love for Simon, do whatever makes you happy iha. You can still be friends with Simon.."

"I'm so ashamed from what I did tita... I'm really sorry that I left him for someone else! I'm sorry that I'm getting married."

"No, iha.. You don't have to be sorry. Just make yourself happy, wag kang mahiya samin because you're also like a part of our family. Congratulations on your engagement, Elise" she once again hugged Elise after she said that.

They're so matured, unlike other families. I love how hospitable even though people made mistakes..

"After all, it's still not our decision to your relationship with Simon.. but I hope you forgive each other."

"Thank you tita.. Simon and I already talked about it, he just felt the same for me. He said that things were different after I came back. Especially to what happened to his friend, Airene."

Simon was behind me, "What are you doing here?" he asked me.

"Listening to what they're talking about. Is it real that you two are no longer together officially? I mean last time was-"

"Yes, Amethyst. We're no longer together. Atleast, she's finally free and can marry her dream guy. I guess we're just really meant to be friends not more than that.." He explained.

"I heard she's getting married?" I asked him.

"She is. Next month, but she's going back to America maybe tomorrow or in few days. I am happy for her, but I still can't remove from my mind that she used to be my girlfriend and I used to make promises"

"It's not easy to move on Simon, but I hope you will be able to. It's been few months since Airene left us.. May I ask you a question?"

"What is it?"

"Have you moved on from her death?" I asked. "I'm not sure about it, I still miss her. But I can stand without her. After Elise goes back to America, I will focus on my business. Just like how I did before."

"I also miss her. Hopefully you'll be successful again to your business. You can find someone who can treat you better, si. Maraming babae dyan" I told him.

[A MONTH LATER]

Sandro and I are going to Tita Liza and Tito bong's house so we can go with them to file a candidacy. Sandro's other brothers doesn't want to face the media so we insisted that we will.

I miss Airene so much, it's been 6 months since her death.

"Iha, sandro.. Get yourself ready to face the public. If they ask any questions that is not about politics, don't answer it. Deny if you know na may mapapahamak." Tita Liza warned us.

"Yes tita, we will" sagot ko.

As we arrive, I can see na kinakabahan si tito bong. Nakakalat ang media with some reporters and different types of news patrols.

Good thing the car is tinted but we can hear the voices of the people outside. "At paparating na nga po ang anak ng dating president ng pilipinas na si Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr." a reporter said.

"As we can see, the son of the old president that ruled Philippines before is arriving together with his wife Atty. Louise Araneta-Marcos and oldest son Ferdinand Alexander Araneta Marcos, as we can also see that Mr. Alexander Marcos is with his wife Amethyst Dy-Marcos" another reporter said.

Our bodyguards are covering the car because people are going near just to see tito bong. They were knocking at every part of the car and it's annoying.

It might cause a damage to the car so we were worried. Tito bong gave them a sign that we're going outside.

"Sandro and Ameth, you'll be the first one to go down." He said.

The guard opened the door and Sandro went down. He offered his hand to help me go down at the car. The crowd was cheering.

"ANG POGI MO SANDRO MARCOS!" They shouted.

I heard some girls at the side talking about me, "Ano ba yan! Kasama nya yung asawa nyang di naman kagandahan"

"True Bessie, kung ako yan di ko sya gaganyanin" The other girl said, "AKO NALANG SANDRO!"

I glared at them. "Hey Hon, chill.. We're married and marriage won't make a sense if mangangaliwa lang ako" he said and held my hand.

"Yung nga babae kasi kala mo naman sobrang ganda nila! Makapag Salita parang jowa ka at inagaw ko ikaw sakanila"

A reporter went infront of us "Mrs. Marcos, what can you say about your father in-law running for a president candidacy"

I looked at Sandro, "You can answer if it's an interview about politics. Stop if they cross the line" He said.
