Credible Love

Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Together

I smiled as the wind blew from the south to the north. I smiled more when I touched the foil as I started to segregate the products we have. I can't stop singing and dancing while I am here in the house doing something in the kitchen.

Even when I was done as the reigning queen of Miss Powerfull. A lot of opportunity begin to arise and offer me. Kahit pa sabihin natin na dahan-dahann akong tinuturuan nila sa business ay tinatanggap ko pa in ang alok nila na ganito. I am here in the New York.

The reason why I never give up on this shoots because I can help those who is working at me. I can help them be at ease.  Peroo ang tatlo naman ay on leave ngayon sa aming company para samahan ako. I know I should focus more on the company but I accept this offer as my vacation leave. Hindi naman ako kaagad CEO. Isa lang akong manager sa isang department. Yon lang ang hiling ko kay daddy sa ngayon.

We looked at the huge window. Kitang kita sa time square ang malaking billboard ko doon. Para naman akong kinikilig ng malamaan kong nilagay nila ako dito.

I am happy and am the happiest person in this world. I achieve this one that someone dreams of. I am lucky that I am the one who is the face of this luxury brand.

“We will always remember your kindness ate as we live  in. “

“Mag aral ka ng mabuti para makuha mo kung anong pangarap mo ha,” ani ko sa bata.

“Opo, gusto ko pong maging doctor kaso teacher lang ang kaya ng magulang ko. “

Everytime children will open up to me. I feel like pity for them. Every time I hear stories it will melt my heart and be thankful for what I have right now. Siguro kung nasa posisyon nila ako ay hindi ko rin alam ang gagawin ko. Pero kapag alam mo ang daloy ng mundo para sayo. Lahat ay mananatiling kalmado at perpekto ang lahat ng darating sa buhay mo. Kaya naman kung ano mang pinagdadanan natin ay alam mong saan patungo ka ay doon ka.

“Pwede kang mag apply sa aming scholarship. Sasabihan ko ang mommy at daddy ko dito tutulungan ka namin basta wag papabayaan ang pag-aaral, okay?"

Sa ganon ay niyakap niya na naman ako sa isang pagkakataon. Ngayon ay mas matagal, mahigpit at mainit. I hugged her more as I felt her grateful for what I offer.

I convince my father to provide for this people here in many places. Sinasabihan na nga kami na tumakbo bilang presidente pero wala sa amin iyon. Gusto lang namin ay makatulong. At saka hindi kami interesado mag study ng law.

I have the means to help and I have the means to let their dreams be possible.  I have the means to help and give and that is the greatest blessing I ever receive.

“A-Ang laki mo na, Grace,” aniya sa akin sabay haplos sa ulo ko at sa aking kamay.

Kumunot ang noo ko sa inaasal niya ng bumuhos na ang luha sa harapan ko.

“Bakit ka umiiyak tita?” sabay hawak ko sa kanyang kamay.

I never seen her like this. Noong bata pa ako ay palagi ko siyang nakikitang matatag sa harapan ko pero ngayon ay pinapakita niya na ang kahinaan niya ngayon sa akin. Which is shocking for me. She is not Tita Venus I used to know. She is quite different right now.

“I-Iniisip ko…lang ang magiging buhay ko kung pinili ko siya,” sabay kagat niya sa labi niya.

Kumunot lalo ang noo ko at kinakabahan na sa inaamin niya ngayon.

“Ho? Sino?”

Pero imbes na sagutin ako ay umiwas siya ng tingin.

The shiny sun and the view melt my heart right now. I am now looking at it with nothing but awe.

“Why we are here Grace?” ani ni Felix sa akin habang naka higa ako sa lap niya. Umiwas ako ng tingin ng seryoso siyang tumitig sa akin.

I looked in front of me. The shiny sun is now up as the darkness earlier begins to cover. And I realized that the darkness will always be there but the light will always be there at the end of the darkness. In life, we have that one. My darkness in the past determines what my love right now holds. And as I open my heart for him, I know this is the right time to let the light be our guide for now.

You will learn how to forget if you really forgive the past. And now, I am here, I can really see the light supposed to be with me. The light is always with me.

“Did you really court me for almost three years?”

Kumunot ang noo niya habang bumibilis ang tibok ng puso ko.

“Yes, and what about that?”

“Did you think this is the right time to stop?” I said that while looking at his blue eyes.

Umiwqs siya ng tingin.

“Are you making me stop, Grace? I know I have not the right to demand and I am sorry for waiting for you. I know you will never forgive me.”

“Yes, I am making you stop," I commanded.

The wind from the south blew my heart away and let the cold blue eyes look at me.

Tahimik at ang ibon at hangin lang ang aking naririnig habang pinagmamasdan ko siya  ng ilang minuto. Tinitingnan ang reaksyon niya.

Hindi siya gumlaaw. Wala siyang ibang nilabas sa bibig niya.

“Because mark this day as we are officially a couple again,” I said finally.

I breathe and close my eyes. The wind is now hugging me. I opened my eyes. And he was shocked by what I said.

Umahon ako sa kanya at umayos nang upo. Kinuha niya ang kamay ko at pinalapit sa kanya...kung saan ang puso niya.

Nahuli kong nakatingin siya sa singsing na suot ko. Kinuha ko ito mula sa kamay ko dahil ang kasunduan noon ay isusuot ko kapag okay na ako. Noong pinasa ko ang korona ay okay na ako kaya nasuot ko at ngayon kailangan kong ibigay muli sa kanya.

Tinulak ko ito sa kanya.

"Keep it. So you can use it."

He chuckled.

“From this day and onwards, when forever doesn’t exist in this world, and if we choose to be together, we will be together,” he said that while slowly caressing my cheeks as he kissed my forehead.
