How To Love And Be Loved

Chapter 28

#HTLABLDelayedApproval

Days passed. Lian became sweeter and sweeter, talagang tinupad niya yung sinabi niyang gusto niya kong ligawan. Laging hatid sundo niya ko sa dorm o kahit saan ako mag punta. As of now si Jessa palang ang nakakaalam ng samin ni Lian, they're all busy dahil sa nalalapit na pasukan kaya hindi kami magkaroon ng time mag sama sama.

Were planning to meet Tita somewhere here in Alabang this week para nga ipakilala si Lian sakanya. This past few days was very happy and stable. I just wish we could stay like this forever.

I've never been this happy before, natatakot lang ako na baka isang araw pag gising ko wala na lahat. Siguro ito yung epekto sakin ng pagkasira ng pamilya namin, natatakot ako na pag masaya o perfect lahat may mangyayaring masama.

"Ma'am." Rhea called me.

Nagising naman ako sa pagkakatulala at tumingin sakanya. "Yes?" I asked.

"Ngayon po ang fitting ng gown ni Miss Cruz." She answered. Almost 2 weeks rin ginawa yung wedding dress niya sa dami ng adjustments. I think 2 weeks is too short pa nga pero no choice dahil first week ng August ang kasal niya. And 1 week nalang August na.

"Sunod nalang ako sa fitting room." Sagot ko sakanya.

"Okay po." Ngumiti siya at bumalik na sa table niya.

I was about to stand up when my phone vibrated.

Lian calling....

"Hello?" I started.

"Hi, I bought some foods for us." He answered at napangiti naman ako.

"Okay. Ingat sa pag da-drive. Don't call me or text me."

"Yes Ma'am. I'll be there in 20 minutes." He said while laughing.

"Sige na. I have a client, bye." Paalam ko sakanya.

I headed to the dressing room quickly at naabutan ko si Miss Cruz na suot na ang wedding dress niya. I don't know but she's crying. Tears of joy?

"It fits perfectly." I said while smiling.

"Yeah." Sagot niya at agad pinunasan ang luha niya.

"Are you excited?" I asked.

"Wala nang kasal." She answered and smiled at me.

"What?" Naguguluhang sagot ko.

"He dumped me." Sagot niya at pumasok na ulit sa fitting room para mag bihis.

I feel so sad for her. Nakita ko kung gaano siya ka-excited sa kasal niya, tapos ganun lang yung nangyari.

Hinintay ko siya sa labas ng fitting room. She's was all smile pagkalabas niya na akala mo hindi iniwan ng magiging asawa niya.

And I found myself hugging her. I just want to give her a hug, ayokong mag salita or what I just want to remind her that it's okay not to be okay. Kahit hindi kami close, alam kong sobrang sakit para sakanya. Nakakalungkot lang talaga pag nakaka-encounter ako ng mga taong sobra mag mahal yet sila pa yung nasasaktan ng sobra.

"Thank you for making my wedding dress a beautiful one. Alam kong nahirapan ka dahil ang dami kong pina-adjust. You're really a great designer." She said.

"Thank you rin for giving me a chance to design your wedding dress. I hope masuot mo parin yan one day." I answered.

"I hope so. I gotta go, thank you for your time." Paalam niya.
