“Thank you…” I said as I shook hands with Miguel
“No, wala kang dapat ipagpasalamat, he is my son… “ Miguel answered me, sabi ko na nga, noon palang alam niya na, na anak niya sa si Sky, inalalayan ko siyang bumangon, medyo nanghihina pa siya dahil sa blood donation
“Kailan mo pa nalaman na anak mo si Sky?” I asked him “Bakit hindi ka bumalik para malinawan ang lahat?”
He took a deep breath, na parang hirap na hirap na siya sa dinadala niya “I tried to go back, I tried to explain pero hindi ganoon kadali…” ngumisi siya while looking down “I know kahit ano ang gawin ko Sophie will not listen to me…” I know the feeling, matigas ang ulo ng babaeng iyon
“So what now?” I asked him, he looked at me puzzled “Sky is safe… maybe you still need to save one important thing…” I’m very proud of myself; at least now I can talk this way to the man na pinakaiinisan at pinakaiinggitan ko noon! “She’s at the chapel…” he stood up and beamed ngumisi lang ako at tumango
I don’t know if you will believe me but I do wish a happy ending for Miguel and Sophie, for Sky’s sake… for their love’s sake…for their family's sake...
I shook my head
Sana this time, makinig si Sophie… Haay, I know makakahanap rin ako ng babaeng para sa akin I shined, yung responsible, well-mannered, successful in life, may plano sa buhay... and if I saw her, I will definitely ask her to marry me at that very moment...
Sophie
I asked God if what I’ve done wrong, bakit kailangan kong pagdaan ang lahat ng ito? Gaanon ba ako kasamang babae para danasin lahat ng ito? I wiped my tears and took a deep breath. Nabasa ko ang text message ni Brenan kanina, Sky is safe… thanks God!
He even informed me na kay Miguel galing dugo na binigay kay Sky, call me selfish pero alam ko meron parin makakaintindi sa pinagdadaanan ko ngayon… ayokong magka utang na loob sa taong nanloko at gumamit sa akin
“Sophie…” narinig kong tawag mula sa likuran ko, kilala ko boses na iyon, hindi ako gumalaw
“Sof…” I heard his footsteps tumayo ako, I don’t want to see him right now “Sophie wait…” saka niya hinawakan ako sa braso para pigilan, huminto ako but didn’t bother looking at him “Please mag-usap tayo… kahit ngayon lang…”
I closed my eyes tightly, there’s a part of me telling to turn my back on him and just leave pero mas malakas ang binubulong sa akin ng isip ko, na I must face him right now… I took a deep breath “Sige…” I uttered
