Chapter 50

Sunflower

I closed my eyes as I ran down a straight road. One barked, and I opened my eyes. It was such an amazing opportunity to live through today. It was such a blessing to be here today. It was such a good memory and a day to start new things. And I don't want to lose these chances again.

Tumakbo ako hanggang sa kalawakan ng aming field. I laughed as the wild wind passed through me and as Dexie followed me. Choel with their puppies run with us where I wanted to go at the end of this hacienda where the hills will be and the Caledonia view will shine.

"Calla, wait for us!" Paul shouted a few distances from us.

I climbed through the Place of Hope. As the wind blew my white maxi dress, I looked down. Namataan ko si Paul na nasa tuhod na ang kamay, hinihingal na.

The wind becomes wilder as I stepped onto the top of the mountain. I closed my eyes and feel the crushing waves kissing the sand. I opened my eyes when someone held my waits properly...like before. I stretched my lips to show my smile.

"It is still our favorite place, Paul. It never changes," I whispered.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay niyang nakapatong sa tiyan ko. I looked to the side only to kissed him my forehead. I chuckled and our dogs barked.

"Hello, good girl. You like the view?"

Isang tahol pa ang pinaubaya sa'min.

"It was our favorite place, Dexie. Caledonia was our favorite place...where I will always come back. Where I always belong."

"It never changes through time, Love. And I guess even when we see others beautiful than these but the places you comfort will be is only the one place you never forget in your entire life," Paul added.

I smiled and nodded. Umupo ako at agad na sumali sina Dexie. Pinatong ni Dexie ang ulo sa hita ko at agad ko siyang hinihimas-himas. Malambing na aso silang lahat. Lalo na noong nasisiksikan ang mga anak niya sa gatas niya.

"They are our kids now, Love."

Tumawa ako.

"Kids kaagad. Wala pa namang one month mula ng nagkabalikan."

He chuckled in a sexy way. Umirap ako at ginulo ang buhok ni Dexie.

"Silly woman. It is not about the time we spend together but the passion you wanted to be together. I love you, Calla. I do. And whatever happened will be. I will remain faithful to you. Just like what I did decades ago," he said.

Umiwas ako nang tingin at napangiti sa tibok ng puso ko.

I never know how I feel for this man. And I never regret being so patient with him. I never wanted to lose him again. I don't want him to be free again. I just want the best for him, and he will do the same for me.

And whatever destiny brought us here. I know it was the right place now. It all falls into the right places and time. And I guess I don't want to lose this man who knows all my flaws. Who was with me through the hard times of my life.

I don't know how much I fell for him or when...but all I know now is that we are toaghther. Ilang dekada paman ang lumipas ay alam kong nasa tamang tao na ako...ramdam ko. Dahil ang saya ko kapag kapiling siya. Ang sarap mapunta sa tamang tao. Iyong alam mong aalagaan ka. Iyong alam mong hindi ka susukuan kapag ikaw na ang sukong-suko sa lahat ng bagay. He is my light, my guide and he is my love until now.
