FREEN's P.O.V
"You're finally getting married." My attention was diverted to the woman who speaks behind me.
"Mom..." I uttered, acknowledging her presence.
"I can see that she'll be a good wife to you," she added and sit beside me.
Ibinalik ko ang tingin ko sa fiance ko na ngayon ay tumatawa sa kung ano man ang sinabi sa kaniya ng make up artist na nakuha namin. Mayroon kasi kaming prenuptial shoot ngayon na gagamitin for the wedding.
Yeah, she's right. I know that Cayla will be a good wife to me. She's actually a wife material. She knows how to cook and do other house choirs kahit pa galing rin siya sa mayamang pamilya. She's smart yet down to earth, supportive, caring, and gentle. Actually, she's almost perfect.
"I'm glad na nakatagpo ka ng babaeng katulad niya," sabi pa nito sa tabi ko habang nakatingin rin sa fiance ko.
Hindi agad ako nagsalita dahil hindi ko alam ang sasabihin. I don't know if she mean what she just said. Parang dati lang ay sinabi niya sa akin na kahihiyan ang magmahal ng taong kapareho ko ng kasarian. Pero noong ipinakilala ko sa kaniya si Cayla ay mukang nagustohan niya rin naman agad.
"What's with the sudden change of heart, Mom?" Tanging tanong na lumabas sa bibig ko.
I saw her glance at me before letting out a small smile.
"I realized that there's no use of stopping you from falling in love to the same gender. Isa pa, I can see that she's way better than the first girl you fell in love with."
Bigla akong natahimik sa sinabi nito.
Arya... she's referring to Arya, the first girl I fell in love with. The girl I thought I'll never get over with.
"How can you say that? I mean...what makes her different?" I asked, a bit confused and hesitant.
Honestly, I never tried comparing Cayla to Arya.
"She don't fit with us. Hindi siya nababagay sa mundo natin. Isa pa, she doesn't love you that much, simula palang ay ramdam ko na 'yon. I can feel na hindi siya kakabuti sa'yo," mahinahong sagot nito sa tanong ko, she's referring to Arya. "But Cayla is different. She's way better than her."
I don't know what to feel about what she said. Siguro kung noon niya sinabi ito ay paniguradong mag aaway na naman kaming dalawa. Baka kanina ko pa siya nasagot ng hindi maganda
Though I feel a sudden stung in my chest, yet I decided to ignore it.
"Katulad ba ng hindi pagbagay ng babaeng dating minahal mo sa mundo mo?" I asked without any emotion.
Kita ko kung paanu siya natigilan sa naging tanong ko. She's probably wondering kung paanu ko nalaman.
Wala naman talaga sana akong balak na sabihin ang bagay na yon. Kusa nalang lumabas sa bibig ko. But I don't regret saying those words. Matagal na rin naman 'yon. I'm sure she already moved on.
"Ano bang sinasabi mo, Freen?" Kunwari ay walang alam na tanong niya sa akin. Pero kahit ganun ay kita ko ang pag iba ng mood niya. Halo halong emosyon na hindi ko maintindihan ang nakikita ko ngayon sa mga mata niya.
"You and Tita Eloise. You loved her, right?"
She avoided my gaze as I look straight to her eyes. Hindi niya siguro inaasahan na alam ko ang tungkol sa bagay na yon.
My mom was once in loved with Tita Eloise, Arya's Mom.
"Let's not talk about the past, Freen. That doesn't matter," she said with a trace of annoyance.
