Ocean Collides with the Sand (Caballero Series #1)

Kabanata 37

End

It's been a hard years for us. I've known some pages of him after being with him. All I thought I was alone, and I was the only one who was fighting for the tender love we feel toward each other.

Lucio did everything he can para mapunan lahat ng pagkukulang niya. He wasn't a perfect man for all, he have flaws, have mistakes, but that isn't enough to cover his light part.

At the end, I was accepted by his family. He was in good terms with my brother. And my mom told me to follow what my heart says. I love Lucio. Even how bad we had last time, it won't even tear a single part in my decisions to turned my heart to other, it was only made for him. I was only made for him.

"How's the case, attorney?" I teased while he was removing his necktie. "Is your puppy girl still with you?"

I saw his face changed. I laughed. Mas lalong nalukot ang mukha nito. He tossed his necktie on the bed and lend me a kiss.

"If only I could stay here, I wouldn't have to be with those girls." He stood up straight while removing his long-sleeved.

Tinulungan ko siya habang natatawa sa naririnig. "Why? Are you bored? Wala ka bang nahahanap na mas magaling sa akin sa kama?"

I saw his ears getting red. His jaw dropped. Hindi makapaniwalang nakatingin sa akin ngayon.

"Baby..." He warned.

I giggled when he hugged me and rested his head on my shoulder.

"You don't have to compare yourself with them. You don't have to be on the list of comparison. I've always choose you even your name isn't there."

Napangiti ako sa narinig. He's always been like this. He wouldn't like others to be acquainted with him. The issue between me and Morgan a years ago is cool. Morgan and I were in good terms. She flew Spain for her career. Beside, mas lalong lumago ang kan'yang negosyo. Her brother was now managing the company she had left.

I was stuck inside our house. Ayaw ni Lucio na magtrabaho ako gayong maliit paraw ang anak namin. Naisip ko Rin na mag apply sana ng trabaho, lalo na at gusto ako kunin ng kapatid niya sa isang corporation. Kaso, mas mabuting sundin ko na lang ang sinabi ni Lucio. Makakapagtrabaho naman ako kapag malaki na ang anak. And Lucio agreed to that.

Nakangiti ako habang nakatingin sa anak kong kandong ni Senyora. She was happy playing with Leander, my son. Kahit na may katandaan si Senyora, her elegance will always rise above her growing white hair.

Nadagdagan pa nung pumanaw ang Senyor noong nakaraang taon. It was not that easy to move on. I know, Lucio told me about his mother's life story. And the way how she met his father. It's sad, but I guess he died peacefully knowing she have taken care of him the whole time before he chose God in his path. It took a lot of tears, sorrow, and sleepless bago niya nakayanang humarap muli sa amin. I swear, that was her most weakest part that I'd never seen. She maybe smiling right now, but I know, deep down there, she still misses him. But that's destiny, we're all going back to where we should be.

Our life is not permanent here, soon, people will only remember us with bad and good memories. So, it is better to left something that people can remember you, and that is to be kind.

"He's peeing." She laughed, matapos maihian ni Leander.

I immediately called the nurse to get him. It wasn't the first time na maihian ni Leander ang Lola niya. I was happy listening to her rants that was obviously a joke.

"Seriously, Lucio? You bought this because you want me to use this next week?" Gulat akong napatingin kay Lucio.

Kagagaling lang niya sa Spain. And he bought me a diamond heels para sa kasal namin. Wala naman sa akin iyon, pero nang malaman ko ang presyo, parang gusto ko ipa-balik sa kan'ya. It can buy us a triple land. In fact, it can even buy as another island. Jusko, Lucio! Gastador!
