Courting My Ex - Best Friend

Promise

Niel's POV.

Ilang buwan na ang nakalipas magmula noong mangyari ang pag-atake. Hanggang ngayon pinaghahanap parin nila ang mga nakatakas.

Ilang buwan na lang ay makikita ko na ang mga anghel ko. Kung iniisip niyong kambal ulit. Tama kayo. Grabe panganay na nga yung kambal eh.

Ang kaso grabe ang pagiging moody niya. Naghahanap ng mga pagkaing mahirap makita.

Kagaya na lang ngayon. Naghahanap ako ng rambutan at chocolate na Hershey's, tapos manggang hilaw.

Saan ba ako bibili noon?

Naka-kita ako ng mabibilhan at plano ko sanang itigil ang sasakyan ng...

Ayaw gumana ng breaks.

Sorry, Cupcake, mukha yatang hindi ko na sila makikita.

Ibinangga ko ang kotse sa isang puno. Nag-ring ang phone ko.

Nakita kong si Gianni ang tumatawag.

"Niel, nasaan ka na ba?!" Bungad niya sakin.

"C-Cupcake... kahit a-anong... ma-mangyari. Tandaan mong mahal... ma-mahal na... m-mahal k-kita." Yun lang at nawalan na ako ng malay.

....

Gianni's POV.

Magkasama kami ni Niel na pumunta sa OB ko. Nalaman naming kambal nga ang babies namin. Both boys.

Nakita ko sa mga mata niya yung saya. Yung saya na over talaga.

"Cupcake, thank you..." bulong niya sakin.

Salamat din sayo, mahal ko. Dahil sayo nabago ang buhay ko. Naging masaya ako. Naging malaya ako.

"Gianni, I know we've been through a lot of hardships, you loathed me for the past years and I don't know the reason why. But, this is what I promise you, from this day on. I'll always love you. I'll never get tired of you, of us. I'll cherish you with all my heart, mind, body and soul. I'll be your slave for all eternity. I'll be your crying shoulder. I'll be your Knight. And lastly, I'll be your loving husband." He knelt down.

"Gianni Gabrielle Arcillo, are you willing to share this happiness with me?" He asked and reached for his pocket.

"Please say yes?" He said, his eyes pleading.

I looked at him and sighed.

"Are you seriously asking me that?" I asked.

He looked at me. What? Did I grew 5 heads?

"Well, the thing is, you should be fantasizing about me...."

I glared at him and pinched his nose.

"The hell are you talking about? Do you seriously think I'll do that, Cookie? Thats absurd." Okay? Thats way off the line.

"But for your question, YES, Cookie, I'll spend my happiness with you, and only you." He looked at me with wide eyes.

"You mean to say?" He whispered.

"Yes, cookie, of course I'll marry you." He jumped and almost tripped. Which made me laugh. He really did, never failed to surprise me.

"I love you, Cupcake." He kissed my forehead.

"I love you too, Cookie" I hugged him tight.

I smiled while reminiscing. Am I that selfish? To the point that I lost him? Yea, I lost him. I do. And it freaking kills me knowing that he's gone.

"Mom? Let's go?" I heard Nero's voice from afar.

"Where do you think he went?" I asked.

"Mom, I know know how much you love him. But, we both know what happened, right?" He faced me.

His eyes, full of sadness and pain resembled mine. Yea, we have the same pair of eyes, those tantalizing eyes he inherited from his father.

"Mom, come on now, you know the twins so much." He uttered.
I chuckled and faced him. "Yea, let's go."

...

Once we're out, the twins faced us with their mood wrecker faces.

"What took you two, so long? Do you even know what time it is?" Persephone asked hastily.

"Mom, let's go." Hermes muttered, his brows knitted.

I looked at them. They looked the same. Those eyes, the one's I want to see again.

"Mom?" I heard Nero's voice.

I guess. He's not coming back.
