JEMA

"itigil na natin to, Nathan. Please" I begged

"12 years na tayo, Jema. And you think, It's easy for me to end up everything we had?" Sumbat niya

"I had loved you during those years. But at the same time, It was hurting me. Loving you while I'm hurting, Yan yung nararamdaman ko during those years. I never had freedom. Gusto mo yung palaging ikaw ang masusunod" Sambit ko

"Kasi para yun sa kapakanan mo eh! ginawa ko naman ang lahat, Tinutulungan kitang Abutin yung pina pangarap mong maging architect. hinayaan din kitang... Pumili ng agency kasi ayaw mo sa amin" Sagot niya

"P-pagod na p-pagod na ako. L-lets just end this" I sobbed

Nathan heaved a sigh

"Baka inaalimpungatan ka lang, Jessica. I'll give you a week to decide. You're just confused. Babalik ka din naman sakin after a week eh." he said

Do I look like I'm desperate?

Sakanya pa talaga?

Dati lang yun, nung hindi ko la na realize

Or I was just tolerating your bad behavior just to keep you

Umuwi muna ako sa navotas

Nagtaka si Mama kung bat daw ako umuwi ng bahay at di pinag patuloy ang work ko

I just reasoned out na masama ang paki ramdam ko

Pag akyat ko sa taas, I saw Ella's name

From: Ella DJ
How was it?

From: Ella DJ
Where are you?

From: Ella DJ
Kamusta si nate? did he hurt you?

From: Ella DJ
Hey, I'm worried na

From: Ella DJ
Jema?

Hindi ko na siya nireplyan at inintay ko nalang siyang umuwi dito

Natulog muna ako saglit

"Jema? wife? gising na" pang gi gising sakin ni Ella

Agad akong napa dilat sa mata ko when I realized it was Ella

"You're awake, Tara na lets eat dinner" she softly said at inalalayan akong umupo sa kama

Niyakap niya naman ako

"Are you okay?You don't seem well Jessica." She whispered

I told her what happened kanina

"Just give him a week. I'm sure he's still the denying the fact that the wedding won't happen" Sagot niya

"B-but what if—"She kissed me

Ella kissed me

"Stop with your what ifs okay?andito naman ako eh. I'll always be there for you okay? Nakalimutan mo atang, kayang kaya ng asawa mo pa tumbahin yang ex mo" she chuckled

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin kaya napa tawa siya

"Jema, ella! Hali na kayo" sigaw ni Mama

"Let's go na, J. May lalakarin pa tayo mamaya" She said

Tumango naman ako

San kaya kami pupunta?

"Asan ba kasi tayo?" She covered my eyes kasi

Tsaka, gabi na baka hanapin kami ni Mama neto

"Teka lang, oh eto na" she said and uncovered my eyes

My eyes widened when I saw how beautiful the night view is

"Ang ganda naman" I smiled

Medyo ma ginaw pero wala akong pake

The view, ang sarap tignan ng view

Hindi pa ako naka experience ng ganito

Ella made it very special for me

"Do you like my surprise?" she asked

Napa tango ako kaagad at ni ngitian siya

"Thank you for this, Ella" I said

Napa ngiti rin siya

"Anything, for my wife" she replied

ELLA

"Uhm, may sasabihin pala ako" I said

"Hmm,Ano yun?" She asked

I heaved a sigh muna and intertwined our hands

"I know, you've been through a lot. And gusto ko lang malaman mo na...Mahal na mahal kita" I stopped

I took the ring from the box at tsaka lumuhod

" Jessica Margarett Galanza, can we get married again for the second time? will you marry me?" I said

I saw a tear coming out from her eyes

She cried and nodded

Napa ngiti ako at pina suot sa kanya ang ring

I wiped her tears and niyakap siya

"I love you, always in all ways. my Mrs. DJ" I whispered

"M-mahal na mahal din kita, Ella" She replied

Masaya kaming umuwi sa bahay

"Oh san kayo galing—Teka, umiiyak ka ba Jema?Anong ginagawa mo sa asawa mo" Mama said habang sinasapak yung balikat ko

Napa tawa naman si Jema

"Aray ma! andyan si Joey oh" daing ko

Napa tigil siya sa pag hampas at nag sorry sabay peace sign

"Don't worry ma , she's fine. Nanood lang kami ng sine kaya ayan umiyak" I replied and looked at her

"Kayo talaga, Oh naka kain na kayo? Nag pa bigay pala yung ninong mo ng cake tsaka wedding gift. Sayang daw at di niya na witness yung kasal niyo" sambit niya

"Wow, I'll text him nalang mama. Don't worry, we'll get married naman for the second time" I replied

Nagulat naman si mama

"Anong second time,.ha Jorella?" Naka pa mewang na sabi niya

Napa tawa tuloy si Jema

"Basta ma! sige na po mother sleep na po tayo hehe"I said and kissed her forehead bago kami umakyat sa itaas

"Baby" Tawag niya

"hmm, love?" I looked at her

"Wala. love you!" she smiled

"Ang random love ah, but I love you too" I smiled
