Start of something new

Araw-araw,
Linggo-linggo...

WALANG PALYA! Si Ivo Lorenzo na isang simpleng department head na walang araw na hindi pumapalya sa panliligaw. Mapapasagot ako ng wala sa oras eh! Gusto ko pang magpakipot! Hahaha!

Umagang-umaga, may iba't-ibang bulaklak ang madaratnan ko.
Halimbawa na lang ay puting Daisy, may note pa. "For my pure feelings and loyal love."

Then a purple Lilac. "For you are my first love."
Then a pink Carnation. "Because I'll never, ever forget you."
A Heliotrope, "For the love and respect I can give eternally."
A Lavender. "For my sincerest devotion."
Purple Irises. "Because you are regal and I respect you."
Red Tulips. "Because slowly.. I'm learning not just to like you more, but to love you, too."
AND MANY MORE.

Kahit na nagbakasyon kami ni daddy at Angelo sa Palawan for a week mula 27 to New Year's Eve to January 2017, Ivo always checks on me. Wala talagang palya.

Who wouldn't fall for this?! Tell me?
Kahit pa sabihin ko, o ng mga ibang babae na mas gugustuhin nilang pagkain ang ibigay sa kanila.. Believe it or not, receiving flowers from someone you have mutual feelings will always have romantic impact for you.

Girls will be giddy and kilig, basta makatanggap sila ng mula sa manliligaw o nagmamahal sa kanila.

But today, January 10, I only received a note.

Meet me at Seaside after work. I'll wait for you from 6 in the evening. Take care.

Ano naman ito at pa-misteryoso pa? Bakit naman ako kinabahan? Bahagyang nanginginig ako at parang tinatambol ang puso. Titigil na ba siya sa panliligaw? It's barely a month, nainip na ba siya?

I was starting to develop my..

Well, people change. Di ko naman siya mapipigilan kung.. may mahanap man siyang iba.

I worked in the office until 7, bahala siya maghintay. Ngayong tapos na ako, ngayon ko lang rin nakita ang 19 missed calls at 8 texts galing sa kanya. Hindi ako nagreply. Instead, I fixed myself bago ako bumaba sa parking. I drove and went to Seaside.

Naglalakad ako ng makaapak ako ng bulaklak. I bent down to see a note. "Just keep walking."

Hahaha, bakit ko ba naalala ang Johnnie Walker na alak?
I shrugged of the funny thought and put on a serious face.

There are petals. Yellow, in fact. Kaso hindi ko alam kung anong bulaklak ito.

I kept on walking and until I reached the border where the waves of the sea can be really heard, wala naman akong nadatnan na doon.

"Yellow Daffodils. I want to have a new beginning with you. Look at me, my Rie." A tear escaped from my right eye. Nakakainis ka, Ivo Lorenzo!

I faced him. He's looking so handsome with that black suit on and his hair is brushed up. Hawak ang isang stem ng yellow daffodil.

"Mommy, Daddy, ito pa po oh f-flowerr." I heard a small voice from a near distance. The next thing I saw, Angelo is walking towards us, holding a bouquet of red roses and yellow daffodils combined.

Our baby is slowly saying English words now, although he is stuttering a bit.
Yes, our baby. Mine and Ivo's child. From the day I received the results and it's a hundred percent match, I would always want to share Angelo with him.

Kahit ako lang ang nakakaalam nito, that Ivo is Angelo's biological father.

Who would've thought that we'll have Angelo kahit hindi pa kami magkakilala ng lubos? And even if we haven't done it.. we already have a child.
