Arisanna Mirielle Trujillo
The next day, I was surprised to see Gael outside my door. Smiling so wide while holding a cinnamon roll bouquet.
"Aga-aga? It's so sudden, I'm still wearing my pajamas!" angal ko sa kaniya pero tinawanan niya lamang ako.
"What's the matter? Lalo ka ngang gumaganda kapag naka pajamas ka." sabi niya sa akin, napasimangot naman ako sa kaniyang sinabi, ang aga-aga naman mangbola ng isang ito.
"It's early in the morning with your flowery words, Waylen Gael." sabi ko sa kaniya, pinapasok ko naman siya sa unit at tinulungan na rin siyang ilagay sa lamesa ang dala-dala niyang paper bags na tiyak akong breakfast ang laman.
"I wanted to visit you and check on you. It's been a day since I last saw you, as much as possible I want to take every opportunity I can, every chance that exists, I want to guard it. Kahit na puwede na tayo ulit magsimula paunti-unti, nangungulila pa rin ako sayo palagi, my eyes are always eager to see you." sabi pa niya habang hinahanda ang mga binili niyang pagkain. Mabuti na lamang at abala siya dahil kung hindi, kitang-kita niya ang kapulahan ng aking buong mukha.
"You have a lot to explain to me, Gael. Marami at kailangan mong magsimula na ngayon." sabi ko sa kaniya, seryoso pa ang aking boses kaya nag-angat ito ng tingin sa akin, tila nagtataka at nag-aalala.
"What is it all about then?" tanong niya at naupo sa aking tabi tapos ay inilagay sa aking harapan ang aking pagkain.
"You were by my side all along. Admit it." sabi ko sa kaniya.
He laughed and looked away. Pulang-pula ang kaniyang mukha na tila isang bata na nahuling kumakain ng tsokolate tuwing hating gabi.
"Come on, I deserve to know it." sabi ko sa kaniya. Actually, everything made me awake all night, hindi talaga ako makatulog with all those questions, but not in a negative way, maybe because of too much curiosity.
"I let you go just like you wished, but I tied myself to you. You may not be aware but an invisible string were there all along, my Mirielle. Wala rin naman akong balak na pabayaan at hayaan ka sa bagong daanan na lalakaran mo. I wanted to be there, kahit hindi mo alam, ang mahalaga nandoon pa rin ako, at parte pa rin ako ng mga iyon." panimula niya.
"When I learned your case, I predicted that one day you'll ask for a break. Alam ko, because you're selfless. Kahit na hirap na hirap ka na, pagod na pagod ka, o hapong-hapo ka, ako, kami pa rin ang iisipin mo kaysa unahin mong huminga. We are your priority, ginawa ka ng mundo bilang isang taong puno ng pagmamahal, it was nice, calming, and peaceful idea but that too much love drained your love for yourself." sabi pa niya.
"You're so pure, like the Katherine Gorge, that I realized that this world doesn't deserve you, someone who's pure and genuine like you. But also, at that moment, I made a promise to myself, that I would do everything to make a change in this world to make it deserving to have you." dagdag pa niya.
"Yes, I helped Kuya Han with everything. I punished everyone who wronged you. I did a lot behind your back, yes baby. I was there all along, which made our time being apart bearable." sabi pa niya.
"I left Ridgeview after I graduated, not wanting to have contact with them anymore. I was so disappointed. Because I, Kuya Han, and your friends had to do all the work instead of them. I never came back, kahit na ilang beses na nila akong inimbita para makapaglaro ulit. I focused on my career while watching you from afar, that was the medicine that aided me to get better." sabi niya sa akin.
"Ga...My dearest Ga, thank you for loving me that way. Thank you for showing me how beautiful love can be." sabi ko at naluluhang napayakap sa kaniya.
"It's because I love you so much, and I'm always willing to give you everything you deserve." sagot niya sa akin.
"That's why I decided to build myself more, Ga. I know that I am better than my old self, but that is not enough for me. Hindi ako papayag at hindi ko hahayaang hindi mo makita't makasama ang pinakamagandang bersyon ng sarili ko." sabi ko sa kaniya at mas hinigpitan ang aking pagyakap sa kaniya. He kissed the top of my head and smoothly caresses my hair.
"I will support you, no matter what, baby. Alam ko naman na una pa lang wala kang ibang gusto bukod sa ikabubuti ng lahat, and that what makes you so special, because of that trait, you did a lot of changes with other people's lives, at isa na ako roon." sabi niya sa akin.
"Can we go outside? A date?" tanong niya sa akin. I nodded while I let him feed me. I smiled, I still feel like a baby even though I am a grown woman. I have indeed grown a lot but when I'm with him, I feel like a baby as he treats me like one.
Habang nag-aayos ako ng aking mukha, Gael was braiding my hair. I looked at him in my mirror, he looked so serious and dedicated to what he was doing that I smiled at the image. I love this man so much.
"Is it bad?" tanong niya at alalang-alala pa noong matapos siya. It's not that bad actually, he made my hair look thick because of the volume of his braids and I like it.
"It's pretty, Ga." sabi ko sa kaniya. Mas lalo pa itong gumanda noong nilagyan ko ng ribbon both sides. I smiled at him and absent-mindedly dropped a kiss on his left cheek. After what I did he looked so stunned, puzzled, and surprised. Para siyang isang karakter sa isang pantasya, na naging bato dahil sa sumpa, nailing-iling na lamang ako imbis na mahiya sa aking ginawa.
"Oh God." usal niya at napailing, halos sampalin nito ang sarili at hindi makapaniwala sa aking ginawa.
"Stop over reacting, Waylen Gael!" asar na sabi ko sa kaniya, bumalik tuloy ang hiya sa katawan ko kaya agad akong tumalikod sa kaniya. Iiwan ko na sana siya nang bigla niya akong higitin para ako naman ang dampian niya ng malambot niyang labi sa aking pisngi.
"I love you. I will choose you, in every lifetime, in every form, and in every universe, I would gladly be a slave of love if that means I love you, and I'm with you." he said as he let our noses touch each other.
"I love you, and I will do better." sabi ko sa kaniya.
"I'm proud of you, Mirielle. Everything that happened is indeed cruel, but you managed to be fearless even if you're soft as a cinnamon roll." sabi pa niya.
"It's because I believe that this world have it's soft spot, hindi palaging malungkot, mayroong bahaghari na palaging naghihintay sa atin." sabi ko sa kaniya at ngumiti.
This perspective of mine is one of the things I admire the most. I believe that as long as my heart is pure, clear, and genuine, I have nothing to lose, I have nothing to fear, and I have nothing to regret.
"I hope you know how much you are valued by the people around you. Kung ano ang mga sinasabi ko sayo, hindi lang iyon sa akin, kung hindi halos sa lahat ng mga taong nagpapahalaga sayo. Binago mo ang buhay nila, buhay ko nang hindi mo nalalaman. You're enthusiasm, positivity, radiating, and comforting smiles sent us motivation to face our following days. And I want you to know, my Mirielle. I prayed to meet someone like that, and it was so beautiful to connect every puzzle piece and made me realize that it was you all along, the one that I prayed for, the one that God gave me. You are a wonderful thing that this world can offer, Mirielle, and we all hope you know and would always remember that."
