"He's been waiting for you since your press conference." Bulong sa akin ni daddy habang nakatingin sa lalaking nakasandal sa kotse. It's him.
I still don't want to see him after what I said in the press. I don't want him to look at me full of awa dahil sa nangyari. Hindi ko naman kailangan ng awa niya sa akin.
I don't hate him on what he said to me those nights kasi hindi naman niya alam. But if he thinks of me like that. I hate him. Pero kahit anong sabihin niya, kahit gusto kong magalit hindi ko magawa.
I love him so much.
He's still the one who can make my head turn every time he's walking. Not just on the aisle but also in front of me. He's still the one I loved before.
"Anak, kausapin mo na siya." Sambit ni daddy. "Buwan ka na niyang hinihintay."
"Dad, hindi ko pa alam."
"Malalaman mo iyon kapag nakausap mo na siya."
Huminga ako ng malalim. 15 ngayon kaya umuwi ako para gawin ang nakagawian ng pamilya namin. Para rin gawin ang bagay kung saan ko siya nakilala.
Months na ang lumipas nawala na ang issue at naging busy ako sa law school. Nag vlog din ako para naman mawala stress ko kahit doon nalang.
"Hershey," tawag niya sa akin. Hahakbang sana ako ng salubungin niya na ako ng yakap. "Why didn't you tell me? How are you?"
"Gabe," malambing na sambit ko. Siniksik ko ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya at naiyak. "Proud na proud ako sa'yo."
"Hershey, ako rin."
Niyakap namin ang isa't isa. I can't stop being emotional. Matagal na kaming hindi nakapag-usap. Matagal kaming hindi nagkita at sa sobrang tagal ay parang ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang totoong tahanan.
I miss him so much.
"No words can express how proud I am to you, Hershey." Bulong niya at tinapik ang likod ko. "You're such a strong woman, I admire you a lot."
Gusto ko sana mag thank you pero walang lumabas na boses sa bibig ko. Kung hindi puro hikbi lang dahil sa pag iyak. I can't believe that he's the one who will say that to me.
I am a strong woman.
"Thank you so much, Gab." Bulong ko ng matapos akong himikbi.
"I still love you, Hershey. I waited for you now, please give me this chance."
Napahinto ako at halos mapabitaw sa yakap niya. I don't know if I'm ready again. I don't know if I'm going to choose having a relationship with him while studying law. I don't know yet.
I don't know if it will be worth it.
"Hershey," tawag muli nito at hinarap ako sa kaniya. Hinawakan niya ang baba ko para magpantay ang mukha namin. "What's wrong hm?"
"I don't know yet, Gab."
"It's alright, okay? I'm willing to wait for you until you tell me you're ready."
I can see sincerity in his eyes. He can be successful business man. Hinawakan ko ang pisngi niya at binigyan siya ng halik.
"I promise, I'll comeback."
