Saving Love (Salguero Siblings Series #4)

Chapter 34- Catch

Nandito ako sa terrace ng bahay na nabili ni papa rito sa Salguero subdivision habang pinapanood ang pag-litaw ng araw.

From here, I can also see the construction of the house Jesian is building for us, next to the houses of Kuya Royse, Kuya Cassian, and Ate Yanna.

The dream house I never thought I could have. Mas pinaganda pa dahil si Jesian ang makakasama ko.

Until now, I'm still absorbing everything that has happened. I really can't believe all the changes that happened in my life, most especially meeting papa and being Jesian's wife.

I'm very grateful.

No word can express how happy I am. Being surrounded by the people I love and having Jesian as my husband is a dream fairytale I thought I could only dream of.

Pakiramdam ko hindi naging biglaan ang kasal namin. Paano ba naman kasi, hindi siya nagsasawa na iparamdam sa akin araw-araw kung gaano rin siya kasaya na mag-asawa na kami.

While Jesian and I are having a great time together, papa and I are also taking the opportunity to bond and learn more about each other. I'm happy that we have so many similarities.

Jesian and the others have already found some trails leading to Walter's whereabouts. These clues are helping guide their investigation.

I let out a long, deep breath when I felt broad arms embrace me. Lumawak agad ang ngiti ko nang maamoy ko si Jesian at maramdaman ko ang paghalik niya sa pisngi ko.

"Good morning, love," he greeted, his voice still rough.

"Good morning," I wrapped my arms around his arms and leaned against his bare chest.

"Did you sleep well?" Paminsan-minsan ay dito talaga kami natutulog para may kasama si papa kahit papaano maliban sa mga kasambahay.

"Basta katabi kita, kahit nasaan pa ako, payapa akong makakatulog," his hot breath against my skin sent chills down my spine.

Bumaba ang mga kamay niya sa baywang ko para iharap ako sa kaniya. Sumandal ako sa railings at ipinulupot ang mga braso ko sa leeg niya.

Tumitig kami sa mata ng isa't isa.

"I know love can change a person. I witnessed how that happened to kuya Royse, kuya Cassian, and ate Yanna. But, I didn't realize how love could impact a person's life until I met you," kinuha niya ang kamay ko at hinalikan.

"You made me stronger. You are the reason why I was able to unlocked the limitation I have in myself. They all thanked me, but the only one I see who deserves that gratitude is you, dahil kung wala ka, hindi ko magagawa ang lahat ng iyon. Ikaw ang dahilan ng lahat, Leigh. Tandaan mo na sa bawat desisyon na pipiliin ko, sa lahat ng bagay na gagawin ko, ikaw palagi ang una,"

"The only purpose I see in my life before you came is to serve the medical field, but when I realize I want to love you until my last breath, I have found more purpose that I didn't even notice before," ang lalim ng mga mata niya. Bawat salita na lumalabas sa bibig niya ay animong nagbigay ng dahilan sa kaniya para palawakin pa ang buhay niya.

Tinitigan niya ako sa mga mata.

"Do you know what's the greatest thing I learned in my whole career?" Umiling ako at inabot ang pisngi niya para hawakan.

"I'll be happy to know." Nagsimulang maging emosyonal ang mga mata ko.

Ewan ko ba pero sa tuwing may usapan kaming ganito, hindi ko mapigilan na maging emosyonal. Ang saya at gaan lang kasi sa pakiramdam na matapos lahat ng nangyari, nanatili kaming magkasama.

Habang buhay na kaming magkasama.

"It's about pouring all our love into the people who mean so much to us. Time doesn't stop, and our lives keep moving forward. So as long as we can, let's make sure to show and express just how much we love someone. Hindi katulad ng oras, ang buhay natin may hangganan. Kaya naman dapat maging matapang tayo na harapin ang buhay habang nilalabanan ang mga takot natin. Palaging may liwanag ang bukas, and in my case, you are my light,"
