6 Months Later...
Kaizer's Point of View
"I'm sorry I'm late, guys! My flight was delayed."
Napatingin kaming lahat ng bumukas ang pinto sa private room ng restaurant na pina-reserve ni Mikko.
We're all currently staying in Switzerland for Mikko and Billie's wedding tomorrow.
When I saw it was her coming through those doors ay hindi ko na maalis ang tingin ko sa kanya.
She didn't changed at all, but somehow I can see how her gray eyes seems a bit lighter, and how flushed her cheeks are.
"Cassidy?" I uttered her name and even before I can stop myself.
God, I missed her so much. Please let her love me this time.
"Ayeeee! Muling ibalik ang tamis ng pag-ibig, muling pagbigyan ang pusong nagmamahal." Kanta ng mga sira ulong kaibigan ko.
I want to look at them and punch them one by one, but I can't keep my eyes off Cassidy.
I'm scared that if I blink, she will disappear from my sight again.
When she left six months ago, I know I have all the power and means to track her down, but I did not. If she wanted space, I'll give it to her. She's been through a lot and she deserves to have everything in this world.
"Kaizer." She said quietly, with a small smile on her lips.
But I know her very well to know that's how she smiles when she's guarded and uncomfortable.
"Sidd! I miss you!" Takbo ni Billie, Avrille, at Ellie sa kanya sabay yakap.
"I miss you girls too! Pinadala ko na sa Pilipinas yung mga pasalubong ko sa inyo."
"Akala ko Indiana Jones ka na sa kasal ko." Sabi ni Billie sa kanya.
"Of course not! Pwede ba namang mawala ang maid of honor? Buti naman di nauna ang future inaanak ko bago ang kasal niyo."
She did not change at all with the way she still jokes around with her friends, but I can feel a wall separating her from me.
"Baliw ka pa rin hangang ngayon!" Hampas ni Billie sa kanya. "Mamaya niyan ikaw yung unang magkaanak satin."
Cassidy made a face. "Ano yon? Immaculate Conception? And pwede ba, masaya na ko maging Tita na nag-i-ispoil ng mga future babies niyo."
"Paano ba yan, Sidd? Hindi papayag si Kaizer sa plano mo." Sabat ni Mikko kaya tiningnan ko siya ng masama.
"Ang mabuti pa kumain na tayo, for sure gutom si Sidd." Pag-iiba ni Billie sa usapan because I know she can feel the tension in the room dahil tiningnan niya rin ng masama si Mikko.
Tahimik lang akong nakatingin sa kanya as we all ate are dinner, but she didn't even looked my way.
"This is your chance, Kaizer. Baka mamaya kung saan na naman magpunta si Sidd." Bulong sa akin ni Chase na katabi ko lang.
"I know, Chase." I said with a quiet sigh.
***********
"Nakausap mo na ba si Sidd?" Tanong sakin ni Mikko habang hinihintay namin magsimula yung wedding ceremony nila ni Billie.
Their wedding is being held at The Alpine Hotel in Gstaad, Switzerland. It's a five-star hotel that belong to our hotel chains. We owned it for a few decades now when the original owner decided to sell it years ago. Mikko rented the whole hotel for five-days for all the wedding guests. I gave him the last two days for free as my gift to him and Billie. I told them the hotel is all on me pero ayaw ni Billie, para mabawasan daw pera ni Mikko.
