Estranged Love

Chapter 22

Nakaluhod si Kiefer pagbukas ng pinto ni Alyssa at hawak hawak nito yung singsing na binigay sa kanya nito kaya siya naiyak pagpasok sa condo nito. Nagtataka man siya paano napunta yun dito at nagugulahan siya sa mga pangyayari hindi pa rin niya mapigilan matuwa na mali yung kutob niya.

Are you just gonna stand there? Tanong sa kanya ni Kiefer kaya naman lumapit siya dito habang nagpupunas ng luha. Nang makalapit siya kay Kiefer hinawakan nito ang kamay.

I'm sorry if you have to go through all of this. I'm sorry if you thought I was cheating on you with a client. I'm heartbroken that you actually believed that i'm capable of that but at the same time happy that my plans worked. Sabi nito. Alam niyang kinakabahan ito dahil nanginginig ang kamay nito.

Babe, I'm so tired of waking up in the morning not seeing your face and so sad sleeping at some nights alone. I want to live with you everyday and just stare at you as often as I can. I know I told you I'll wait until you're ready but i'm hoping today can be thay day. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Be my wife and mother of my kids. Marry me, please. Sabi nito at tumango siya habang umiiyak.

Yes? Paninigurado nito.

Yes. Sabi niya at nagulat siya ng tumayo ito at buhatin siya at ikutin siya. Nahihilo man natatawa pa rin siya.

Yes. Sabi nito at binaba siya.

I love you. Sabi nito.

I love you too. Sagot niya at hinalikan siya nito saka sinuot yung singsing niya. Niyakap siya nito ulit at umiyak ito.

You made me the happiest man today babe and I promise to make you the happiest wife everyday. Bulong nito kaya naiyak siya pero naalala niya yung kissmark nito kaya nilayo niya ito sa kanya at binaba yung collar ng polo nito.

But explain to me why you have this. Sabi niya dito at ngumiti ito. Bigla naman lumabas sa room yung family nito at kinongratulate siya.

It was Thirdy's idea to make it more realistic. Sabi nito.

Hinalikan ka ni Thirdy sa leeg? Tanong niya.

Of course not. Yuck ate huh. Sabi ni Thirdy.

Then how? Tanong niya.

Inipit niya ng clothespin ate. Halos maiyak nga si manong when they were doing that earlier. Sabi ni Dani kaya binatukan niya si Kiefer.

Babe. Sabi sa kanya nito.

You're so stupid. Sabi niya dito.

Guys do crazy and stupid stuff when they're in love Alyssa. Sabi ni Bong.

But tito, he's hurting himself. Sabi niya  .

But it worked. We've been waiting for you since last night pero I guess dyan sa kissmark ka talaga napasugod dito. Sabi ni Mozzy.

Last night? But Kiefer went to my condo drunk last night Tita. And amoy babae. Sabi niya.

Yeah, we thought nabasa mo yung text ko kay Kiefer and kala namin susundan mo siya. We waited pero ng hindi ka pumunta uminom na lang sila and then we sprayed him my perfume saka siya hinatid ng tito bong mo and Thirdy sa condo mo. Sabi ni Mozzy.

So you're Carla? Tanong niya dito.

Yes and I'm sorry if I made you jealous. Sabi nito at niyakap siya.

I hate all of you especially you. Sabi niya kay Kiefer at natawa naman ang mga ito.

But babe I like how you seduced me earlier. Muntik na ako talaga bumigay buti na lang tumawag si mom. Sabi nito kaya namula siya.
