Her Way Home

Chapter 11

Okay, if you say so." At ipinakita niya dito ang mga display nila na ready to wear wedding gown and bridemaids dresses. And her bridal accessories were also in display.

"Amazing, your not just a pretty face sweetheart, your talented too."

Then they stopped on her wedding dress.  Na naka display sa corner ng shop niya. "Why it's not for sale?"

"Because that's mine." She said proudly.

"It's pretty, simple and sexy." He commented.

"When did you make this?"

"Way before I met you." She lied. Because he is actually the reason behind it. But he mustn't know about it.

"I thought you don't believe in love?"

"That is in case I will fall in love and get married someday. A girl like me can dream, can I? Madami ngang gustong bumili niyan, but I always declined. Maybe in time pag tangap ko ng magiging kapalaran ko." Then she told him her dream. "Maybe next year I will expand my business, I want to launched my clothing line. I already have my sketches and design for it financial na Lang and kulang ko. For the past few months I enrolled myself in a short course in bag and shoe's making."

"Why wait for next year?" He asked.

"Hindi pa kasi ako bayad sa loan ko sa banko."

"I can-" hindi na niya ito pinatapos magsalita.

"Huwag mo na ituloy. I know what you're gonna say next. I know you mean well Anton, but please let me do this on my own."

"You can loan it to me and pay me pag kaya mo na."

"Let me handle this on my own."

"You know your not being practical, I wanted to help you." He said in a pained voice.

"I don't want people to think that I'm with you because of your money."

"I don't fucking care what people say! I wanted to help you, because I know this is something that makes you happy and it's close to your heart."

"I'm sorry. But please try to understand."

"I don't see why keep on rejecting my help. You're a very stubborn woman!" His said angrily, and they were starting to get attention.

"Please lower your voice down."

He took a deep breath. "We're not yet finished with this." He muttered angrily.

"Okay, I'm sorry kung ma pride ako. I just don't know how to handle someone like you. Ayaw kong maging dependent sa'yo." She looks down, and in a barest whispered she said.

She avoid his gaze. "Paano pag--- wala ka na."

"I already told you, not to over think, Of course I'm not leaving you, just stay with me iyon lang and kailangan ko sa'yo. Don't leave me." He said softly while he cupped her face and wipe the single tear that fell from her eyes. And kissed her temple.

Dumaan ang mga buwan na masaya siya sa relationship nila ni Anton. She even got the chance to meet his grandparents via Skype. They're both lovely couple and they're a proof that forever still exists.

Her business is doing well also. She launch her clothing line. Anton is  very persuasive, hindi siya nito tinantanan hangang hindi niya tinangap ang financial help nito. And his very supportive too, she's so lucky to have him in her life.

Hindi siya masyadong nalungkot sa pagalis ni Carla. She migrated to Canada with his husband. Naging kasosyo niya si Kate sa negosyo niya and Lizbeth also joined them. Since Isa itong accountant she handles all her financial accounts.

She's contented and happy on what she have right now. The only things she's been waiting is for Anton to love her. Malapit na ang anniversary nila, hangang nagyon ay hindi pa rin niya alam ang lugar niya sa puso nito. Minsan ay hindi niya mapigilang ma-insecure na baka isa sa mga araw ay iwan siya nito. That a day will come he would get tired of her. Alam niyang madami siyang ka-competition dito, who's waiting patiently for him to get rid of her.

She need to think two step ahead, what if it's time na for them to have kids. Baka iyon na ang kulang sa kanila. Maybe if she'll get pregnant with his child, he will learned to love her. But that's betraying his trust.

But she's not getting any younger this year she'll turn 30, and she wanted to have lots of kids.

Lingid sa kaalaman ni Anton she went to a ob-gyne, and consult the doctor about her desire to get pregnant. The doctor gave her the date when she's fertile, so she stop using pills and she's hoping she'll get pregnant very soon.
She got nervous when her fertility date came, she went home early, kahit walang special na occasion, she cooked his favorite food and with the help of Nana Carmel they set a romantic candlelight dinner in the balcony.

She received a call from him, his already in his private lift, after that she got anxious. Her conscience were telling her not to pursue her plan. That its cheating him.

A shiver ran to her body when heard the glass door open. He's here.

She startled when his arms embraced her tightly. "Hi sweetheart." He murmured while his lips travel down her neck leaving some sweet marks then down to her naked shoulder.

Every time he does that, she felt weak. He knows her weakness very well. "Hello my handsome prince."

He chuckled. "You looked pretty tonight, and a surprise candlelight dinner? What's the occasion sweetheart?"

She shrugged her shoulder lightly. "Nothing, I just wanted to cooked for you and Nana Carmel help me set up the table."

Ihinarap siya nito. "I'm surprised indeed, for you."

He gave her  3 freshly picked daisies. She rose her one eyebrows. "Lagot ka kay Nana Carmel, malapit ng maubos ang mga tanim niya."

"I asked Nana Carmel to plant more daisies because I know it's your favorite flower. So don't worry sweetheart, Nana Carmel know it." He wink handsomely at her. And her heart melt.

"Wait here." Aniya Kay Anton. She quickly lit the candles, then she turns off the light sa balcony, she's thankful na hindi malakas ang hanging ngayong gabi. She open her iPhone and then she select her favorite song. Ilang sandaling pa ay pumailanlang ang kantang TEREFIED na pinasikat ni Katherine Mc-Phee.

"Let's dance." He murmured behind her. Hindi niya namalayan na nakalapit na pala it sa kanya.
