My Own Love Story (COMPLETED)

Chapter 19

SAPPHIRE BELLATRICE

One week has passed since Saiph and I patched things up. I'm starting to patch things up with her, and it is making me feel perfect. I'm going to slowly put our families closer together, and before long, we'll all be happy with each other as I've dreamed.

I've also been figuring out how she thinks about her mother. Even though it has been a little while, the two of them still seem very distant from one another. I know it seems like an overwhelming hurdle, but I'm not going to give up. I mean, I know how much Saiph loves our mom, and I know how much my mom loves Saiph, too, but she merely doesn't know how to express it or how to let Saiph believe it.

It's been a while, and when we last went to see dad, his doctor stated that he was recovering. With the assurance that my dad would eventually be able to wake up, I'm extremely happy. His doctor said he is unable to explain it now, but it's quite rare for a patient to survive after having spent so long in a coma. He believes that for our dad to have survived and be so eager to reunite us, he must have been strong and consistent. Our family will soon be in good shape; we are only waiting out the real scenario.

Along with that, I'm having trouble figuring out how Saiph and Eos could get along. Although I doubt it, I sincerely hope there is still a slight chance. Seeing the person I love chase after and pursue another girl is pretty difficult for me, but if that's where he's perfectly happy, then I'd be happy too. Of all, it's Saiph, not just any other girl. It brings me joy to see her smiling as well. In the end, I've decided to part ways with him and move forward. I have hope that these sentiments will pass in due course, and that I'll be perfectly fine.

And it's not just Eos, anyway. I can see there's also this other guy with the name Avior. I've been hearing a lot of stories from Saiph about him, and I don't know if it's just me, but Saiph really does seem to truly treasure that guy. He may merely be a friend, or she may be in denial about her feelings for him. He might hinder Saiph and Eos' settlement, I'm afraid. But to be honest, from what I've seen and heard through Saiph's stories, he's a decent guy who looks out for Saiph just as much as I do.

"Gisingin mo na ang kapatid mo. Male-late na 'yon." Bigla ay sabi ni mommy nang pumasok siya sa kwarto ko.

She may have looked cold, but I could tell she was concerned about Saiph. I know that with only a little pushing, she will eventually melt.

"Yes, mom. Baka napuyat lang kagabi because we had a movie marathon." Sagot ko sa kanya.

I gave in to her requests to watch some Barbie movies last night. Barbie movies will always be our treasures, whatever of our age. Also, one of the ways we interact with one another is by enjoying Barbie movies. And I'm just so grateful that things are beginning to get back to normal.

"Mom, I hope you'll make an effort to reach out to Saiph as well. After all, mom, she is also your daughter. Our family's greatest jewel is her." Nakangiting sabi ko kay mommy paglapit ko sa kanya.

Nginitian niya 'ko at hinaplos and pisngi ko saka siya tumango.

"Sapphire, I'm trying so hard. I only need a little bit more time. It may not have been so simple for your sister to believe that I'm trying to rebuild our relationship given that I've been so mean and nasty to her throughout the years, and I know it's going to be overwhelming for her." Sabi sa'kin ni mommy.

Tumango ako at ngumiti dahil naiintindihan ko naman ang sinasabi niya. Kahit ako rin, kung ako rin siguro si Saiph ay iyon din ang iisipin ko. Tsaka ayokong isipin ni Saiph na kaya lang nakikipagbati si mommy sa kanya ay dahil sa sinabi ko o pinakiusap ko. Gusto kong makita niya na nagkukusa si mommy at desisyon iyon ni mommy.
