ASHLYN
Kada tapos ko sa shift ko palagi akong dumidiretso kay Sam because of their wedding. I helped her sa lahat at minsan nandoon si Izana.
Ngayon naman ay hinihintay ko si Sam na dumating sa shop nila Mitsuya. "Do you want to see your gown na dapat sayo naman in the first place?" He asked.
"Oh? You made a gown for me?" I asked and he nodded agad kaming pumunta sa isang room and i saw a beautiful white gown. Off shoulder one. I can't find the right words to compliment the gown because that was the best that i've ever seen.
The only thing ay hindi ko siya masusuot. "Gusto mo i-try? Isukat?"
"Pwede?" Tanong ko and he nodded. Mala-late naman si Sam kaya try mo muna.
"Thank you, Takashi." I said.
"Labas lang ako." He said kaya ngumiti ako. I gently caressed the gown in front of me. Dahan dahan kong pinasadahan ang telang mukhang mamahalin.
Tila, focus na focus siya sa paggawa nito dahil ultimo pattern na design ay perpekto. I took off my clothes and put on the gown. I stared at myself sa mirror tearing up. I let my curly hair down para makita kung anong itsura ko.
Bagay sa 'kin. I went out of the room para ipakita kay Mitsuya. "Teh, ang ganda naman nito. Bagay sa 'ki-"
I saw Izana sitting on a monoblock chair. He's staring at me. "Oh? Where's Mitsuya?" I asked.
"Tapos ka na?" Sambit ni Mitsuya at tumingin sa kabuuan sabay ayos sa gown. "Ganda, bagay. Save ko 'to sa kasal mo." He said.
I chuckled. "Save it for Izana's wedding. Bagay kay Sam 'to."
Bumalik ako sa kwarto at hinubad ito. I put it safely sa mannequin sabay labas ulit. Sakto namang nandoon na si Sam. "Sorry, kakarating ko lang. May meeting lang with parents."
"Okay lang. You can try your wedding gown." I said at napansin na wala na si Izana.
"Talaga! Thank you!" She went inside the room at tinignan ko si Mitsuya.
He smiled at me. "You're so brave."
"Tapang tapangan tawag dito." Sagot ko. "Asan na yung tropa natin?"
"Nagpahangin. Kinabag ata baka siya mismo magpahinto niyang kasal nila." Pagbibiro niya. "Naiiyak na naman si gago e."
Parehas kaming natahimik nung lumabas si Sam. Bagay nga sa kanya ang gown. "Bagay." Maikling sagot ko. "You look good."
"Thank you, ate!" She said and hugged me. "I promise to take care of him. I promise to love him katulad po nung love na meron ka sa kanya."
"Higitam mo dapat." I answered. "Please take care of him. He might act like he's tough but he's a big baby."
"Thank you for loving Izana, ate." She said. "I know naman na he's still not over you pero one step at a time, right?"
"Small process is still a process. Makakamove on din yan. He will learn how to reciprocate the love na meron ka." I answered.
That was the last conversation we had. I am here in the hospital tinatapos ang duty kahit na i failed to save my patient's life.
Bukas na, he will get married na. I sighed heavily as i try to write everything sa papel na hawak ko. This is a letter for him, ibibigay ko sa kanya.
