Nagising ako nang wala nang tao sa cottage. No sign of Aj, Drew, and Aga. Nasaan ba sila? I tried to contact Aj, unattended. I tried to contact Drew, out of coverage. I tried to contact Aga pero... nakita ko yung phone niya naiwan dito sa sala. Nakita ko naman yung lockscreen niya. Selfie naming dalawa. Para-paraan din, Muhlach! I was about to go to my room when I saw a note na nakadikit sa ref.
I know you're wondering where we are right now. Go to your closet and you'll find the answer.
Closet? Answer? Ano na naman bang kalokohan ito? Pumunta naman ako sa closet at nakita kong may nalaglag na papel. I opened it.
Wear this dress. I want you to look gorgeous tonight.

I saw the dress (see photo above). Where on Earth did they get this dress? So I wear it. After I wear it, mag mamake up sana ako but nakakita na naman ako ng note.
You're beautiful with or without make-up. Light make-up lang po.
My heart is jumping for joy because of this note. So I did what the note says. Light make-up lang. Kinuha ko na yung small bag ko then I was about to go outside when I saw a note again.
Follow the mark. I'll be waiting for you.
Ano naman kaya ang pakulo nitong lalaking ito? Lumabas naman na ako ng villa namin. May nakita naman akong mga petals na nagkalat. Maybe this is the one. Sinundan ko kung nasaan ang mga petal hanggang sa nakarating ako sa pinakadulo nito. Bigla namang may tumawag sa akin.
"Mom! You're so... beautiful." - Andrew
"Andrew, what is this?" - Lea
Binigay sa akin ni Andrew ang isang flower na may kasamang note.
Take ten steps. I'm patiently waiting for you.
I was about to speak nang biglang nawala si Andrew. Pinapahirapan ba ako nito? Sinunod ko naman yung nasa note. 10 steps daw.
"Sorry po. Mom, you look so beautiful. You're so gorgeous. You're amazing." - Aj
"Ssh. Maliit na bagay." - Lea
"Mommy eto na po. Basta mommy kahit anong mangyari, nandito pa rim po ako para sa inyo. I love you, Mom!" - Aj
"Aww. I love you too sweetie." - Lea
Then she handed me the note and left. Follow your heart.
Follow my heart?
Then I heard someone singing.
I can't remember when you weren't there When I didn't care for anyone but you I swear we've been through everything there is Can't imagine anything we've missed Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do
Through the years You've never let me down You turned my life around The sweetest days I've found I've found with you Through the years I've never been afraid I've loved the life we've made And I'm so glad I've stayed Right here with you Through the years
I can't remember what I used to do Who I trusted whom, I listened to before I swear you've taught me everything I know Can't imagine needing someone so But through the years it seems to me I need you more and more
Through the years Through all the good and bad I knew how much we had I've always been so glad To be with you Through the years It's better everyday You've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay I'll stay with you Through the years
Through the years When everything went wrong Together we were strong I know that I belonged Right here with you Through the years I never had a doubt We'd always work things out I've learned what love's about By loving you Through the years
Through the years You've never let me down You've turned my life around The sweetest days I've found I've found with you Through the years It's better everyday You've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay I'll stay with you Through the years
That voice. Aga. Even though he's not a singer, his voice makes me shiver always.
"I rehearsed that song for a week." - Aga
"Ags, you've been rehearsing for more than 20 years and yet nothing changed." - Lea
"Can you just appreciate my effort first? Hahaha. Flowers for you." - Aga
"Aww, thanks Ags!" - Lea
"Have a sit." - Aga
Umupo naman ako at I am not informed na candle light dinner pala ito.
"Ano na naman ba ang pakulo mo Aga? May pa 'follow your heart' ka pang nalalaman." - Lea
"Basta. Secret yun. Let's eat first." - Aga
Kumain na kami at kwentuhan lang ng kaunti.
"Can I have this dance, my dear Lea?" - Aga
I grabbed his hands and we started dancing to the beat of our hearts.
"Lea, sixteen years. Sixteen years na nawala ako sa iyo. Iniwan ko kayo nang wala man lang paalam. Lea, pinagsisisihan ko na ang lahat nang iyon. Kaya ngayon, humihingi ako nang isa pang pagkakataon para mahalin mo ulit ako at para gampanan ang pagiging tatay sa ating mga anak at ang pagiging asawa ko sa iyo. So L-lea, c-can we start all over again? C-can we give it another shot?" - Aga
He kneeled down. Ang mga luha ko na kanina ko pa pinipigil ay lumabas na.
"Y-yes. Let's start all over again." - Lea
"This time, I'll never leave you and our family. Thank you, Lea." - Aga
He hugged me so tight. He kissed me on my forehead, my nose, my cheeks, and on my lips. How I missed this.
"I love you, Lea."
"I love you too, Aga."
Fireworks explode and we sealed the night with a kiss.
Short update! Chapter Ten is done. Please do support my story. Babawi ako sa susunod na update. Promise! And don't forget Mommy Lea's concert at PICC on Feb. 17-18, 2017. Sana pumunta si Aga! Hihihi 😅
