Amando walked around the estate alone, wondering regarding different events that suddenly happened. The death of Paco, the death of basil, the death of Beverly, the discovery of Jericho's secret identity and more, everything was just crushing them more and more, he didn't know what events would occur next.
Amando walked through the side path until he realized he was near the garden area of the manor, he decided to approach the swing set that was installed nearby. It was Paco's favorite area in the whole estate, he remembers the years when paco was still younger, he would run around this area along with his cousins. He decided to step up and go onto the swing set, he sat down and began swinging gently. He looked from afar and thought to himself.
"Anong nangyari? Bakit ako umabot sa ganitong situwasyon?.." he wondered.
Back then he had a dream, he was someone different, he wasn't just the cold servant that everyone knew, he was more than what he could show in the present time. Perhaps everything changed when he fell for her, when he promised her that he would do anything for her, he would protect her and make her happy. But at what cost? He thought
Going after a person that doesn't even realize your existence, that doesn't acknowledge your efforts, pushing you farther and farther until you suddenly lose all hope, giving you false signals and wishing for the slightest recognition or perhaps reciprocation of how you feel. But you can't blame faith for your life choices, you chose the path, so why are you regretting this? He thought to himself.
A year dropped from his eye, he removed it quickly to make sure no one would notice. He took a deep breath and looked through the sky, closing his eyes and contemplating his life choices.
"Amando nandito kalang pala!" Aurora replied from the back.
Amando got started but he didn't care, he didn't wanna see her face at this time. He wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet the envious was giving him.
"Amando, narinig Mona ako?" Aurora asked while coming closer to him.
Amando looked at him expressionless, he didn't know what to say to her but she continued to speak.
"Are you purposely ignoring me?" Aurora asked annoyed
"Aurora ayokona." Amando replied.
"Ayaw Mona? Wala panaman ako pinapagawa sayo, what do you mean ayaw Mona?" She asked.
"Aurora, gusto kona mag resign." He directly stated
Aurora was taken aback, why was this all of a sudden for him, did something happen for him to just suddenly want to resign? Did the stress of the estate come over him? She wondered.
"You wanna resign?" Aurora asked, she sat down on the other swing set in order to hear his reasons. "But why? Bakit ang biglaan naman ata ng desisyon mo."
"Gusto kong mahanap ulit ang sarili ko, matanda nako, gusto Korin makahanap ng isang tao na pwede kong makasama hanggang sa huli, ayokong mamatay na mag isa Aurora, sapat na sakin noon na lumaking mag isa, pero hindi ko hahayaan na pati rin sa kamatayan wala akong karamay." He replied.
"So you wanna find yourself, and you wanna find yourself a partner?" She asked "gusto Morin b magpakasal?" She'd asked.
"Oo naman, isa yan sa mga pangarap ko noon na hanggang ngayon hindi ko parin natutupad, habang May oras pa gusto ko pa syang tuparin." Amando replied while looking at the sky
Aurora giggled at his response.
"Ayan lang naman pala ang problema mo, akala ko naman kung ano." She replied."Kung yan lang naman pala ang gusto, then why don't you marry me?" She asked giggling
Amando looked at her dumbfounded, Aurora continued to laugh as if she heard the most funniest joke that has ever existed, this annoyed Amando to the core, this is the reason why he wanted to leave.
"I mean napapagkamalan naman na tayo ng mga tao na mag asawa, so why not make it official on paper?" She asked.
Amando looked at her dumbfounded, Aurora continued to laugh as if she heard the most funniest joke that has ever existed. That's when Amando finally snapped, he looked angry and upset.
"Seryoso kaba Aurora?!" He yelled, "Hindi ako nakikipagbiruan! Kung sa tingin mo ganun lang kadali ang pangarap ko nasosobrahan Kana sa delusyon mo! Papakasalan kita para lang masabi ko na natupad kona ang pangarap ko? Para habang buhay nako nakakulong sa mga kamay mo?!" Amando stood up and looked at her.
Aurora rolled her eyes, "Amando, love is such a waste of time, like what you said, matanda Kana, I'm giving you the opportunity to get an easy pass, pero ayaw mo naman."
"Oo, love is such a waste of time, kasi sinayang ko yung buong oras ko kakahintay, kaka asa sayo."
Aurora looked at him, raised her brow and asked. "Sino ba kasi nagsabi na dapat mahulog ang puso mo sakin?" She asked annoyingly.
"Oo na! ako na yung mali, ako na yung tanga, ako na yung bobo, ako na yung hindi nag iisip ng tama dahil lang nahulog ako sa isang gaya mo." Amando replied, he smiled while letting the tears fall from his eyes.
"Alam mo, ang tagal kitang hindi iniwan kasi nangako ako sayo noon, at ginampanan ko ang pangako na binigay ko, kahit sobrang nangungulila nako, ginawa ko ang lahat para mapasaya ka. Pero sa huli ako lang naman yung nag mukang tanga. Minahal kita ng lubusan kahit alam kong wala nang pag asa na maging tayo muli." Amando exclaimed before turning around and leaving.
Aurora saw him walk away, Amando paused for a while and spoke. "Ang tagal konang nag hihintay, pero hindi kanaman na pala babalik."
Amando walked away, crying silently, leaving Aurora sitting down on the swing chair, watching himas he leave.
It was nighttime in the estate, everyone was preparing to rest for the night, except for one person. Aurora. She later on her bed, looking around trying her best to sleep, but the words kept echoing through her head. "Minahal kita ng lubusan kahit alam kong wala nang pag asa na maging tayo muli"
Aurora got up and left her room, she started wondering through the hallway, he thoughts going back and fort wether she should apologize to him, but what would she say? How will she comfort him, she knew deep inside herself that she still loved him despite of the events that happened, the meain reason why she never wanted to marry.
Aurora continued walking until she suddenly bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry." She replied while looking at the person, the moment she realized who it was it immediately turned around and began leaving but Aurora stopped the person.
"Amando, wait!" She exclaimed
"Aurora kung sesermonan molang ako dahil sa nangyari kanina, bitawan Mona ako, hindi rin mag tatagal at aalis nako dito." Amando spoke.
"Amando, please listen, I'm sorry, I never any of the things I said." Aurora began "Yun lang yung una kong naisip kasi biglaan lang din yung pag sabi mo na mag reresign ka."
Amando rolled his eyes, such a pathetic excuse. Aurora continued.
"Amando, ayokong mawala ka sa estate, your family, ayoko mawala ka sakin. I know it's gonna be complicated, pero we will work this out, we always do."
"Kung ganon lang kadali Aurora, kung ganun lang kadali." He murmured
He started walking away, but Aurora stopped him once more, she looked at him directly, he looked like he had been crying since morning, this broke her heart. She leaned in closer to his face and kissed his cheeks.
"Magpahinga Kana muna." She exclaimed
Before Aurora could leave he grabbed her waist and kissed her passionate, Aurora didn't fought back. This kiss was something they needed, something both inside them was trying to break free. But how does this change their status? What does make them? They didn't bother answering them, as the moment was savoured for both of them.
