"Ka-Kathryn!"Appearing in his eyes was a sight to behold. Sitting in the couch was the love of his life. Nag-angat ito ng tingin ng makita siya. Halata ang pagkabigla sa napakagandang mukha nito.
Daniel's knees weakens right away when a small smile plastered on her pretty face. Sunod-sunod ang kanyang paglunok. Ni hindi nga niya namamalayan ang sariling mga paa'ng unti-unting tinawid ang pagitan nila.
He saw her nervously stand when he was about an inch away from her.
"D-DJ..." parang inihehele siya ng marinig ang malamyos na boses nito. If this was all just a dream ay hindi na niya gusto pang magising.
God! How many days and nights that he dreamt of her and how many times did he wanted to hear her say his name again? And now,here she is standing face to face with him.
"Oh Love!" walang anu-ano'y ipinaloob na niya sa kanyang mga bisig ang dalaga. He hugged her so tight. That familiar feeling where her body was like molded on his body. Like it fits only for him.
"Kath...love I miss you so damn much!" he cried. Literally,sobs could be heard from him.
He doesn't care kung umiiyak siya sa harapan ng dalaga. That's how he feels right now. People always thought that men shouldn't cry for they are not the emotional type, but unlike him, he couldn't fake just how he feels. He cried because she stirred a lot of emotions from him.
She showed up in his office unexpectedly when he thought that there's no hope for the both of them. Who would have thought that great things would happen in an unexpected place and in an unexpected time?
"I-I miss you, DJ..."mas lalo pa niyang niyakap ang nobya ng maramdaman niya ang paghikbi rin nito. Like him, she's hugging him so tight too na para bang gaya niya ayaw din siya nitong bitawan dahil baka makawala pa siya ulit.
"I miss you too Love...." anas na lang niya.
Damang-dama sa yakap nilang yun ang pananabik sa isa't-isa. Yung pakiramdam na para bang yung nawala sayo ay unti-unti ng bumalik? That feeling when all you wanted was to feel each moment at kung pwede lang ay manatili na lang sila sa ganun.
"How are you Love? Okay ka na bang talaga?" puno ng pag-aalala niyang tanong rito pagkatapos niyang kumalas sa pagkakayakap rito ngunit ang mga bisig niya ay nakapaloob pa rin dito si Kathryn. Her eyes were all red and puffy now dahil sa pag-iyak. Naroon pa rin ang patuloy sa pagtulo na mga luha sa mga pisngi nito. She's still crying and that sight makes his heart break. Kaya naman parang may sariling utak ang kanyang mga daliri sa kamay ay isa-isa nitong pinahid at tinuyo ang mga luha sa pisngi ng dalaga.
"I-I'm sorry, DJ for not believing in you. For thinking the worst. I'm sorry kung mas pinili kung huwag magpakita sayo pagkatapos kitang puntahan noon rito." napapaluhang wika pa rin nito.
"Shhhhh...it's all done now, Kath. What matter's to me ay andito ka na. Binalikan mo ako." madamdamin din niyang saad.
Ramdam niyang mas lalong humigpit ang hawak ni Kathryn sa kanyang magkabilang braso.
Magkahinang pa rin ang kanilang mga mata hanggang sa ngayon. How could she still manage to be beautiful while crying? She look so vulnerable and fragile na gusto niyang yakapin ito muli. Pero they have a lot of time now to do that. He's aware that they've got a lot of catching up to do with each other. Those months that they were missing with each other, alam niyang maraming nangyari sa mga iyon.
"Let's sit down, mahal." yaya niya rito saka niyakag ang dalaga papunta muli sa couch. Inalalayan niya ito sa pag-upo.
"Do you want water, love?" tanong pa niya.
Tumango ito."Yes, please..."
Tumayo siyang muli saka tinungo ang kanyang water dispenser at naglagay ng tubig sa baso. Bumalik siya muli saka binigay iyon kay Kathryn. Tinanggap naman iyon ng dalaga.
"I'll just call my secretary to cancel all my appointments for the rest of the day." wika niya saka tinungo ang kanyang table.
"Hello? Martha? Cancel all my appointments for this afternoon." yun lang ang sinabi niya saka binaba na ang phone.
Binalikan niya muli si Kathryn na titig na titig pa rin sa kanya. His heart skip a beat right away everytime nagsasalubong ang mga titig nilang dalawa. Only Kathryn has that effect on him.
Bahagya pa itong umusog nang tinabihan niya ito.
"Why did cancel your appointments? Pwede namang hintayin na lang kita rito.." biglaang nagsalita ito.
Napangiti siya. Same Kathryn. Iniisip pa rin nito ang iba kaysa sa sarili nito.
Hindi na niya napigilan ang sariling ipaloob itong muli sa mga bisig niya. He just couldn't resist the urge to hold her and to touch her. Isinandig ng dalaga ang ulo nito sa kanyang dibdib. Nanatili silang tahimik for quiet sometime na para bang dinadama lang nila ang isa't-isa.
Those times that he would only dream for her now became a reality. Hindi na sa panaginip niya lang nayayakap at nahahawakan ang fiancé niya. Now, she's with him. For real. And he ought not to let anyone or any circumstance again to tear them apart and he'll make sure of that.
"I love you so much, DJ..." halos magtatalon ang puso niya nang marinig muli iyon mula sa bibig mismo ng babaeng pinakamamahal niya. God! It's been so long since he heard her utter those words to him. His heart wants to come out in his rib cage dahil sa sobrang tuwa nito.
Dahil sa hindi na siya makapagsalita na wari'y pakiramdam niya'y nanuyo ang lalamunan niya at umurong ang kanyang dila, inangat ni Kath ang ulo nito saka hinanap ng dalaga ang kanyang mga mata.
She was staring at him with worried eyes. Did she think that he didn't love her? Did she think na nakalimutan niya ito. The way she's looking at him made him feel like she's hurt that he didn't respond to her when she declared her love for him.
"I-I love you so much too, Kath." sa wakas ay nagawa ring lumabas ng sagot niya sa kanyang bibig.
Yung pakiramdam na bigla siyang nablangko kahit pa nasa dulo na ng dila niya ang kanyang sasabihin? That's how he felt. For pete's sake, God knows that Kathryn is the love of his life yet heto siya at sa isang iglap ay biglang natameme pagkarinig lamang ng mga salitang iyon.
Kung kanina ay bakas ang pag-aalala sa magandang mukha nito, ngayon ay napalitan na iyon ng mabining ngiti na abot pa rin hanggang sa mga mata nito. Right there, he knew that she heard what she wanted to hear and that she's satisfied.
At hanggang sa muli ay mas lalo pang humigpit ang yakap niya kay Kathryn.
He wouldn't want to let her go even for a second. Those months that served as both their nightmare was enough already. Now that she's back in his life, he'll well being and safety will be his priority.
They're going to start a new life again. This time,it will be a life where she'll be in his eyes every second,every minute and every time he wakes up and goes to bed.
Marriage.
