5 years after...
Narito parin ako sa France at masaya nako sa buhay ko ngayon.
Naglalakad-lakad ako ngayon sa daan. I need a fresh air. Masyado nakong babad sa trabaho. Bumalik ako sa dati kong trinabahuan na hospital rito sa France.
Napadpad ako ngayon sa bridge. Sumulyap ako sa kapaligiran. Malamig ang simoy ng hangin at gustong-gusto ko ito. Bumalik sa alaala ko ang sakit ng kahapon. Kamusta ka na Josh? Kamusta si Baby Angelica? Sana okay lang kayo.. Namimiss ko na kayo...
May biglang kumalabit sa kaliwa kong balakang.
" Hi!" sabi sakin ng batang babae. Pamilyar ito sa akin. Maganda ito at mestisa. Inabutan ako nito ng tatlong pulang rosas.
" Hello. What's your name? Who brought you here? And why did you gave it to me? You don't even know who I am" sunod-sunod na tanong ko tsaka ako yumuko rito.
" My name is Angelica Hilmerd. I'm with my dad and he said that I have to give that roses to you. And by the way, my dad's name is Joshua Hilmerd." she said. Oh my God kaya pala pamilyar sya sakin. Anak sya ni Josh. She's Baby Angelica.
Nagkaunlanan, nagpakita narin si Josh samin. Grabe, mas lalo syang gumwapo, naging mas masculine rin sya at nagkaroon ng kaunting balbas sa baba. Lumapit ito sakin.
It's been a long time since,
You and I have been friends.
We are proof of the fact that all good things don't always end through happiness and sadness.
The tears and the frowns,
When I lost belief in myself.
You became my self-esteem.
When my eyes were shedding tears, you became their gleam.
The smiles and the selfies.
Our friendships has been one awesome ride.
I'm glad I have a bestfriend like you by my side.
No one would laugh at my jokes,
No one would realize my preferences,
If I didn't have a friend like you,
I would miss life's best experiences.
I LOVE YOU.
Binibigkas niya ang poem na favorite ko noon. He even memorized it. I'm really touched. Sya ang kauna-unahang lalaki ang nagpahayag ng poem sa akin. Tumulo ang luha saking mga mata. That poem ay hango sa mag bestfriend. And I'm very glad that he realized that it was for me and for him.
" Anayasha? I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. I missed you." sabi ni Josh tsaka ako niyakap ng mahigpit.
" I missed you too, Josh." sabi ko
" I'm scared Anya. Natatakot ako na di ka na bumalik samin kaya kami na ni Angelica ang sumusundo sa iyo ngayon. I realized na hindi ko pala kayang mawala ka sakin. I realize na mahal na pala kita Anya. Patawarin mo ko sa mga nasabi ko sayo noon. I know, it was all an accident. Sadyang naging mababaw lang talaga ako at ikaw ang sinisi ko sa pagkamatay ni Mika. I'm really sorry Anya. Pumunta ako sa puntod ni Mika, I asked her a permission na ikaw na ang babaeng gusto kong pakasalan. And I know, that Mika will be very happy. Alam kong masaya sya na ikaw ang magiging ina at mag-aalaga sa anak nya at sa akin.
So, Anya. Will you marry me?" Josh asked me tsaka sya lumuhod sa harapan ko. Meron itong dala dalang singsing at ang mga mata nya. Punong puno nang pagmamahal.
This is what I am wishing for.
Hindi ko akalain na matutupad.
Kami parin talaga ang magkakatuluyan sa huli.
" Yes, Josh. I will marry you! Kaya tumayo ka na dyan." I said
" Really?! Oh my God. Thank you Anya! I promised that I will be a good husband to you and to be a good father for our upcoming childrens and also to Angelica. I Love you so much!" sabi ni Josh sakin tsaka ako hinalikan ng mabilis sa labi. He hugged me.
" I love you too Josh." sagot ko
" You don't know how much I'm happy right now. Thank you." bulong nya sa tenga ko.
Yinakap ko sya ng mahigpit. God. I missed him.
" Mommy.." rinig kong sabi ni Angelica.
Lumingon kaming dalawa ni Josh sa kanya.
" I'm also happy that I have a mother right now. Thank you for making my dad happy Mommy Anya. From now on, I treat you as my real mother. I love you." sabi sakin ni Angelica tsaka ako yinakap.
Napaluha ako sa sinabi nya.
Thank you Angelica.
Thank you din Josh.
At nagawa mo kong patawarin.
I love you.
