I never felt this happy. I regret not having enough courage sooner. A lot of years were wasted—were they really? Perhaps, those chapters were necessary to prepare us for this page.
Those chapters I had to hurt were all about life building the tough heart I need today. And those years that he was alone were a preparation for him to take me back.
Nagtagal ang mga mata ko sa kaniya, animo'y iyon na ang huli naming pagkikita. I almost teared up at his words only if . . . the lights didn't turn on.
"Aww~" Someone from the side made a puppy sound.
Mabilis akong napalingon sa pinanggalingan ng tunog at nakita ang isang lalaki.
"This is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time." Nagkunwaring nagpupunas ng luha ang katabi niya. May isa pang hawak naman ang dibdib.
"What are you saying it's heartbreaking? It looked like how a romantic movie ends."
"The last page of the book."
"The final chapter of the story."
"Basta ang masasabi ko lang, may awa ang may akda." Chase smiled, the annoying one.
My mouth gapped seeing five men at one sofa. Diretso sala ang bahay ni Yuri kaya pagpasok mo ay iyon agad ang bubungad. I was too occupied that I didn't sense there are other people here. May mga Suarez pala! Tila may ganap sila nang dumating ako dahil may hawak na popcorn ang nangingising si Franco.
Father's Day party? Sa tatanda nila, iyon ang pinakamagandang hula. But that's not should be my concern. I have a bigger problem here.
"Kanina pa kayo?"
Sabay-sabay na tumango iyong tatlo, Elias, Evo, and Chase.
"Y-You heard us?" Handa na akong magpalunok sa lupa nang magtanong.
They didn't nod nor shake their heads but the two put on a play.
"Yuri, please be back in my life," naunang pag-arte ni Chase, hawak ang panga ni Elias. "So that I won't have to be afraid of losing you anymore. I'm tired of waiting for my turn to win. It won't come until I am ready to. I'm ready to win you this time."
P-Parang hindi naman iyon ang sinabi ko?
"Oh, baby." Elias gave his best too. "You drive me insane. Are you for real?"
I cringed at his flirting tone.
"I'm ready to hold you now, Yuri. I'll do my best to hold you right. Please be back in my life forever, Yuri, please."
Nagbeso sila kunwari ngunit hindi naman nasalat ng labi ni Chase ang kahit ano kay Elias.
"Let's get back in each other lives then. Whatever life it is, I don't care. I just need to have you in it."
"I don't curse, but I'm so FUCKING in love with you, Ellison Andres. Fuck my life."
"Can I fuck you first—"
Hindi naituloy ni Elias ang linya nang balibagin siya ni Franco ng throw pillow. "Wrong lines," he said.
Habang hawak ang likuran ng ulong tinamaan ng unan ay tumango si Elias "Right." Bumalik sa amin ang paningin niya. "You can pretend like we're not here."
"Continue what you're doing," si Chase.
Pinatay ulit nila ang ilaw at tumalikod sa amin, samantalang hindi na ako natinag sa posisyon. I could only blink and hope for me to wake up from a nightmare.
