HALOS ISANG buwan na hindi pa rin ako makapag-isip ng isasagot kay Zace. His always trying to ask me , to start again but my heart was afraid to give a chance.
A chance who was not meant for Zace but meant for myself. Takot akong bigyan muli ng chance ang sarili ko lalo na sa mga naging desisyon ko.
"Mom? Daddy's daddy gave me an astronomy Book!" Masiglang wika ng anak ko. Sumunod naman Rito si Tito Ace. He was wearing a casual shirt with his usual cold aura
Ngunit ng makita naman ako ay ngumiti siya ng bahagya.
"Yuno, leave us here for a moment I'm going to talk to your mommy hmm?" He politely and sweetly said. Agad namang tumango si Yuno at nagpaalam na aalis muna tutungo raw kay Tita Raphiel.
I felt afraid, I mean natatakot ako sa sasabihin niya.
"Charriza as you can see my son's efforts for taking you as her wife , won't you appreciate it?" Tanong nito , napalunok naman ako. Zace efforts was indeed appreciated yet too much.
There was always his support and I can feel his love towards me but I'm afraid that my love wasn't enough.
"Natatakot po ako tito" sagot ko habang Nakayuko.
"Of what? Are you afraid of him?" Wika nito at rinig ko ang pagiging sarkasmo ng boses niya. Umiling naman ako agad.
"Sa sarili ko po" wika ko. I saw how his expression became soft but immediately go back to normal.
"It's okay if you didn't want to give others a chance but to yourself? You've shouldn't do that" hindi naman ako nakaimik. Bumuntong hininga siya bago ulit magsalita.
"Forgive yourself because if you don't you'll regret it" wika niya.
"I'm not saying this for you to marry my son , na sasagot kung pakakasalan mo siya but I never seen my son smile again genuinely years ago" agad nanikip ang dibdib ko sa narinig.
"Ngayon na lang ulit Charriza " wika niya, lumapit siya sa akin at tinapik ang balikat ko.
"You make him smile again" wika niya bago tuluyang nilampasan ako. My heart couldn't handle the pain. Nasasaktan ako dahil napakatanga ko .
I've realized that he never cheated he just did that in order to save me, for my sake!
Umupo ako, I saw him talking to our son. Papalapit sila sa akin. He was wearing his warm and joyful smile. Para siyang araw-araw nanalo sa lotto kung makangiti.
Nang makita niya ako ay kumaway siya at Niyakap ako. Umupo siya sa harapan ko , sumunod naman si tita Alexa at tito Ace.
"We saw this coming" agad na wika ni Tita Alexa. Napatingin naman ako sakanya.
"Zace never shared his problems to us but the day, his wedding we saw how much he cried " wika ni Tita.
"Mom! Stop!" Nahihiyang wika ni Zace ngunit hindi nagpapigil si Ma'am Alexa.
"Kaya if you don't plan marrying him , Stay away from him" matigas at malamig niyang wika na nagpagulat Saakin. Napanganga ako at napalunok .
I heard Zace stopping and saying something to her but my heartbeat was louder.
Kaya ko ba? Kaya ko bang panindigan ang lahat at iwan siya? Nanginig ang kamay ko. Nakita ko ang pagkapait niya at paghawak niya sa Pisngi ko.
I'm crying?
"I'm sorry for my mo-" hindi na natapos ang sasabihin niya ng magsalita si Tita Alexa.
"Congratulations son, I want a girl next time , Goodluck" May pang aasar na wika nito at ngumiti saakin ng matamis.
She took her purse as she speak.
"I'm just joking, I'll just wanna prove something" nakangiti niyang wika at nilapitan ang pwesto namin. Tinabig niya ng kaunti si Zace at niyakap ako.
"I want a girl " wika niya at humiwalay. Nakakunot noong tiningnan ko siya. What did she mean?
"We gotta go, we still have projects , We start accepting clients sayang" wika nito. Napairap naman si Zace.
"Sayang ang plates niyo?" Ismid nito tinawanan lang ito ni Ma'am Alexa at sir Ace.
They never wanted money. They just want to design and build their ideas. Gusto lang nilang makita ang mga designs nila.
Nagpaalam sila and I still felt bad. Hindi ko pa rin alam. Umakyat ako sa taas. Sumunod naman siya.
Nang makarating kami sa kwarto ay agad niya akong niyakap galing sa likod.
"I love you" bulong niya , he was like a puppy who wants attention. Kumalas naman ako sa pagkakayakap niya.
"Zace are you sure you want to marry me?" Tanong ko. Tumango siya ng dahan dahan at lumuhod sa harapan ko.
"I know it was crazy but I'm certain I want to marry you , Please Charriza Marry me" wika niya. Habang nakahawak sa mga kamay ko. He was pleasing again and my heart was melting.
Pumasok sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Tito Ace.
Bigyan ko ng Pagkakataon ang sarili ko. Paano kung mali nanaman? Paano kung May masaktan nanaman.
'Give yourself a chance or else you'll regret not giving one'
Should I? Should I give myself a chance shoul-
"Yes , oo Zace " wika ko habang nakatingin sa mga mata niyang agad na nagliwanag at kumislap.
Hindi siya makapagsalita at habang nakatingin saakin. But his eyes tell me everything.
His eyes got teary as he jump on me and give me a hug. My heart was pounding fast.
The butterflies inside me celebrating .
Natumba kami sa Kama. He was laughing but his eyes was full of tears. We look into each other as he smiled at me and mouthed the 'Thank you'
"Can I kiss you?" Tanong niya, ngumiti ako at tumango.
He didn't said anything and crashed his lips into mine.
I missed his warmth.
His lips.
His smiles
His hug
Everything, I missed everything about him.I hope that this Chance was worth it.
Hinalikan niya ako ng marahan, tumigil siya at hinalikan ang noo ko, pababa sa dulo ng ilong ko, sa Pisngi at sa Pisngi.
I can't help but to blush.
"Hindi ka pa rin sanay? You're still blushing! Well anyway I'll make you blush everyday" wika niya at hinalikan ang mga labi ko.
I hope , I hope this is worth it.
