Short Story #2

"Jett I'm sorry if hanggang ngayon hindi pa din kita sinasagot." Reianne said.

Mag iisang taon na nang simulan kong ligawan si Reianne at hindi niya pa 'ko sinasagot.

"It's okay, I understand why. Basta maghihintay lang ako." I smiled at her.

Reianne have a trust issues because of his ex boyfriend who cheated on her. Hindi na siya gaanong nagtitiwala sa mga lalaki, and now I'm here, courting her. Proving that I will be a better man to her.

Every day and month had passed. I always comforting her. And after 1 year kong panliligaw sa kaniya, finally she said yes.

That's my very unforgettable day. Sobrang saya ko dahil naging worth it ang paghihintay ko sa kaniya. Wala na 'kong ibang hihilingin kun'di ang makasama siya.

Nung 1st Anniversary namin ay pumunta kaming tagaytay and namasyal. Noong gabi na ay naglatag kami ng tent para doon magpahinga.

Habang nakaupo at pinagmamasdan ang kalangitan ay nakapatong ang ulo niya sa balikat ko. I kissed the side or her head.

"Happy 1st Anniversary love." I said.

She then looked at me and smile. "Happy 1st Anniversary. I love you."

I stared at her. I don't want to lose her. Sa kaniya ko lang naramdaman ang totoong kahulugan ng "tahanan". Every time na kasama ko siya, It feels like home. Siya lang ang nakakapag pakalma sa'kin.

"Mahal na mahal kita Reianne." I kissed her lips.

Kinuha ko sa bulsa ko ang regalo ko para sa kaniya. A promised ring.

When she saw it, I saw her eyes glistened. Tinignan niya 'ko gamit ang matang nagtatanong.

"Papakasalan kita Reianne, hindi man ngayon pero pangako, papakasalan kita." Isinuot ko sa kaniya ang singsing at she suddenly hugged me very tight.

I love her, to the point that I'll do everything just to make her happy. I love her so much and because of that I'll marry her. I will marry her.

After our Anniversary, our story was smoothly going on. She already healed sa past trauma niya and finally, she can now trust people who have a good intentions to her.

Pero gaya ng isang storya, may kwento na hindi nagtatapos sa masaya.

I am really happy because even in the short time of being together, napatunayan ko sa kaniyang mahal na mahal ko siya and I won't stop loving her even though she was now happy with someone else.
