Admiring You From Afar

29

"Saan ka ba nagpunta?" tanong saakin ni papa nung nakabalik naako sa opisina niya wala na dito ang ama ni aldrin siguro hinahanap na neto ang anak niya, after aldrin kissed me, iniwan ko nalang siya bigla dahil sa awkwardness na nadama ko

(flashback)

"I liked you back then, pero iba na ngayon" sabi niya saakin, naka move on na siguro siya saakin and that's a good thing, bumitaw siya sa pagkakayakap saakin at hinawakan niya ang magkabilang pisngi ko, 

"I love you Alya, ikaw lang ang pipiliin ko palagi" sabi niya saakin at hinalikan niya ako,

Nung bumitaw na siya sa pag halik ay dilat na dilat naman ang mga mata ko dahil sa gulat, h-he kissed me?

"Sorry for kissing you, I-I..." di ko na siya pinatapos sa sasabihin niya,

"Alis muna ako baka hinahanap naako ni papa" na sabi ko nalang sakanya at umalis na

(end of flashback)

"May pinag usapan lang kami ni aldrin papa, we cleared our misunderstandings" sagot ko sakanya which is partly true hindi ko na sinali yung halikan session na nangyari saamin, bakit ko din naman kasi isasali yun? Baka maging issue pa sa kay papa!

"Bakit pala sila nandito kanina?" tanong ko sakanya out of curiosity,

"They will be our new business partners, and by making it official, Mr. Montefalcon and I planned to marry you two off" sagot ni papa sa tanong ko

" Ano?!" nagugulat kong ani, wait my brain is still processing from what happened earlier at dumagdag pa talaga toh? 

"Yes you heard it right and whether you like it or not my daughter we will push through this plan, total both of you are single, walang sabit" sabi ni papa saakin, I can't believe him? Marrying me off this easily?!

"fine" sagot ko at napahinga ng malalim, umalis nalang muna ako sa opisina niya at pupuntahan ko si mama ngayon kasi tatanungin ko siya kung alam na ba niya ang plano ng ama ko saakin.

"So mama alam mo ba ang tungkol don sa plano ni papa?" I asked my mother as soon as I have arrived in her office.

"Yes love, but I didn't agree at first dahil I know that you're still not ready and you don't know this man, but when your father told me na si aldrin ang papakasalan mo I supported his decision. Your father just want the best for you anak and Aldrin is the best fit to be your husband" sagot ni mama sa tanong ko, umupo naman agad ako sa sofa

"Para ba talaga ito saakin o sa kompanya?" Sagot ko sa sinabi niya

"Anak don't think that way. Your father and Mr. Montefalcon are best friends even before they learn how to walk. Your father trusts Mr. Montefalcon and Aldrin so much since he knew that Aldrin loved you" what?! All this time alam din nila ang nararamdaman ni aldrin saakin tapos ako hindi?!

"Paano niyo nalaman ang tungkol doon?" Tanong ko sa kay mama

"The day when you were nowhere to be found is the day when we also knew that your ex cheated on you, your father wanted to hurt him so badly, but aldrin made his move first, and that was also the time when he admitted it to us that he has feelings for you, since I asked him why he was so concerned in you" sagot ni mama sa tanong ko, wait naguguluhan ako

"Can you clarify mama, paano niyo nalaman na nag cheat si Liam saakin?" Tanong ko ulit

"Aldrin told us after he found you sa puntod ng kapatid mo. Pinuntahan naman agad nila ng daddy mo ang bahay nung ex mo, I don't know what happened next but bumalik naman sila after an hour and aldrin asked me kung kamusta ka, after that he told me na baka yun na ang last na pupunta siya sa bahay natin since sa america na siya mag aaral, but he did visit you again before siya pumunta sa america kinabukasan, sadly you were locking yourself up that time, and he told me to take care of you, I even told him ofcourse I will take care of my daughter Mr. " sagot na naman ni mama sa tanong ko habang kinekwento niya ang nangyari ay nakangiti siya, the puzzle in my mind are slowly getting connected to each other, but there's still questions that needs to be answered,
