IM MRS PADILLA -- SHE'S MY WIFE [KathNiel]

SMW 27

Defeat. Boundless. Chance.

"It's about time... about time to accept my defeat. You won, Padilla."

"You're love for her is boundless, love that you never gave to me."

"Will this really result to the Second Chance that everyone is assuming?"

Light's POV

As the weeks passed, things changed. She became sweet as ever. Just like a true girlfriend. But I can't stand it anymore. I feel like i'm eating a cake that looks so sweet and acts like it... But when I tasted it, it tastes sour. Because, the cake itself was a mistake. The measurement, the recipe... Were all wrong.

And I had enough, I can no longer eat it.

"Kath, we need to go.." sabi ko almost whispering.. You can do this Light.

"Huh? Kadadating lang natin dito sa bahay ah, aalis na naman? Why and where?" Lumapit naman ako sakanya at niyakap siya ng sobrang higpit. Whispering little iloveyou's. I can feel her smiling habang niyayakap ako pabalik. If we could just stay like this forever, I would be eternally grateful. But we can't.

"Yung mommy mo... Tinakbo siya sa hospital an hour ago, nagyon ko lang nabasa yung text ng yaya niyo.. We should go." Nagiba naman ang mukha niya, agad suyang bumitaw sa yakap namin

"What?! Patingin nga ko ng text ni yaya! This can't be happening... No Light, hindi pwede to.." I hugged her tightly.

I whispered all the comforting words that I can.. especially the i love yous, because I'm afraid this would be the last time that I'll be doing this for her. Hindi ko na napansin na tumutulo na pala ang mga luha ko.. After everything, I'm letting you go already.

I was too blinded with my love and with the childhood promise that we built.

You promised to marry me once we grow up, but it didn't happen.

You told me you'll love me so I just have to wait, but it didn't happen.

Ayoko na ding magpakatanga sa lahat ng 'to. Ayoko nang isipin araw araw kung paano ba kita papasayahing sobra, kasi napapasaya nga kita outside but I know you're still longing for somebody else inside. That what hurts me so much. I always try my best to make you happy, pero na-realize ko na kahit anong gawin ko. Kahit anong sabihin ko, kung hindi naman ako ang gusto mo.. Lahat yun walang kwenta.

You told me to wait, but it didn't.. it's still not happening. Such a mean liar.

"Light, okay ka lang? Siguro okay naman si Mama... Kanina pa kita tinititigan pero ganyan padin mukha mo.. Andito na tayo sa airport oh. Ikaw ba ang magiging pilot?" I just nodded. Lumabas na kami ng sasakyan at pumunta na where my plane is located. Bago pa siya umakyat, I hugged her.

"Mahal na mahal kita, Kathryn. Sobra-sobra.." And I kissed her.

Bago pa siya makasalita, I told her na pumasok na.. At may kukunin pa ko sa baba.

She even waved at me in the window and I saw her mouthing 'bilisan mo'

Pero nginitian ko lang siya, hanggang sa unti-unti ng tumaas ang eroplano. Napaltan ang mukha niya ng confusion.. Hindi ko na napigilan yung luha ko, iyak nalang ako ng iyak habang pinagmamasdan ko ang plane na sinakyan niya.
