IGS #2: THAT BLUE-EYED BEAST (✔)

XV: END👑

I know you won't expect it, but this is the END. Thank you, readers! See you on my next story. 😍😘
-

I smiled as I walk down the aisle with tears freely flowing on my cheecks as I stare at the man who I thought I'd never had.

Fairytales? Nah. Fairytales are nothing compared to real life stories. I believe that when you wait for the right time, he will come to you and you'll easily know that he's the right one.

Ni minsan, hindi ko inexpect na maiinlove ako at an early age. And to spice it up, sa isang SANDRO MONTREAL pa. Who would expect it?

But then, some things are cynical, we had a happy start, he made me feel like a real lady, a woman, but as i've said, cynical things happen. He made me fall, and he'd dump me, just like any other guys in the novels I read.

But life is a twisting story, don't you know?  We met in the weirdest way, fell again and did the rightest thing we think it is. After that day he left me for some woman, I cried.

I cried for it.

And I cried...for nothing.

That Grace who called him was a wedding planner.

"I don't think we can still continue this relationship, Sandro. If you're seeing other girls out there, you could just--"

Kumunot ang kaniyang noo at pinutol ako sa sasabihin ko.

"Wait...what?" His eyes are screaming danger and I hate it. I hate that he had to deny that he has other girls!

"You're cheating on me, Sandro." He clenched his jaw and his eyes tickling me because of his warning stares.

He leaned back at the chair and watched me. Now I am hating how I still find him attractive amidst the madness I'm feeling. I hate that he had to prepare a date for us tonight when it doesn't even resemble what I feel. I hate that he had to order my favorite food and wine! I hate his stares! I hate him!

I want to yell it... but my heart is screaming otherwise.

"You are not breaking up with me, aren't you Lore?" He said still leaning back. I had to squirm from my seat to keep myself calm and unaffected of his stares. Damn this man!

Pinalobo ko ang pisngi at iniwas ang tingin. Nakakainis. "Who's Grace?" I asked back, ignoring his question.

"Grace--what?" The side of his lips twitched into a lopsided smile.

"And who's that girl that you kissed in the restaurant's parking lot, huh? You're such a womanizer, Sandro. You still haven't changed! After all these years... I thought I can... I can...."

He closed his eyes deeply when he saw tears streaming down my face.

"Damn it, woman." He muttered.

"Ano? Ngayon minumura mo ako? Ang kapal ng mukha kong gago ka. Akala mo naman ang pogi pogi mo. Andami dami mong babae tapos sinasali mo ako sakanila. Nakita ko pang hinalikan ka nung babaeng yun sa lips tapos hindi ka man lang  umiwas? Tapos last week, tumawag lang yang putanginang Grace na yan, hindi ka nagpakita sakin ng isang linggo? Ha? Tapos ang kapal kapal ng mukha mong mag renta ng buong resto tapos tayong dalawa lang sa loob. Tapos nag order ka pa ng mga paborito ko na parang walang nangyaring kababalaghan! Na parang wala kang kasalanan! Ang kapal kapal ng bayag mo. Gago ka." Humihikbi ako habang sinasabi iyon. He just stared at me, I don't know if its true but i can see his eyes sparkling of happiness and an amusing smile is pasted on his lips.

Kita mo tong lalaking to! Umiiyak ako tapos tinatawanan niya ako!

"You misunders--"

"Oh ano? Tapos sasabihin mong mahal mo ako? Na wala kang kasalanan? Na ako ang nagkulang kaya hinahanap mo sa ibang babe? Willing naman ako ah! Ikaw lang tong pabebe bruho ka! Tapos tinatawanan mo ako ngayon! Ang kapal mo talaga! Break na tayo! Bago ko pa mabasag tong wine glass sa mukha mong ulol ka." Tumayo ako at tumakbo palabas ng resto habang humihikbi. Wala na akong pakialam kung pinagtitinginan ako ng mga tao sa labas. Bahala na. Basta ang importante makauwi na ako at makalayo sa damuhong babaerong iyon!

"Honeylore!" Lalo ko pang binilisan ang paglakad ngunit nahuli niya parin ako sa braso.

"Ano ba! Bitiwan mo ako! Baka may AIDS ka, mahawa pa ako!"

"No. You're going with me. Hindi ka nadadala sa usapan eh. Then let's do this MY WAY." Frustrated na sabi nito at hinila ako papuntang Tesla niya. Pilit kong tinatanggal ang pagkakahawak niya but his hands are hard as steel. Shit.

"Ano ba?! Uuwi na ako!"

He just glared at me bago ako binuhat papasok sa sasakyan. Hindi ko na tinangka pang magpumiglas because i know he wont let me.

When we both got in his car, his phone suddenly rang.

"Yeah. We're heading at my condo. No, shit. Yeah plan failed, but I won't let that happen. Of course.  Yes, I will. Bye." And he dropped the phone.

"Iuwi mo na ako samin, Sandro. Hindi ako pwedeng pumunta sa condo mo, baka irape mo ako dun tapos magugustuhan ko. Tapos mabubuntis ako. Tapos tataba ako at papangit, tapos hahanap ka ng mas maganda sakin. Tapos maghihiwalay tayo. Kaya iuwi mo ako samin! Dalagang pilipina ako, Sandro!" Humagulgol nanaman ako dahil sa labis na inis. Ang sakit sakit mg dibdib ko pero ang gunggong, ang lakas ng tawa na para bang hindi na dadating ang umaga.

"No, baby. I won't let you go this time. No matter what you do, you'd always end up with me." His british accent made me quiver. His eyes are on the road at humupa na rin ang matinding pagtawa niya kani kanina lamang. Nakakainis tong lalaking to, masyadong bipolar.

"Kapal." Nasabi ko na lang. Napatili ako sa inis ng itinigil niya ang sasakyan sa parking lot ng building ng condo niya.

"Hoy. Sabi ko iuwi mo ako! Ano ba---ay!"

At ang bastos na lalaki, bigla nalang akong hinila hanggang sa makapasok kami sa elevator.

Onced we stepped out, he swiped his card on the door and it instantly opened. Marahas na bumitiw ako sakaniya at binalingan siya. He locked the door and leaned on it.

"You just ruined my plan, woman."

Galit na tumaas lang ang kilay ko sakaniya. "Plano? Ahh! Yang plano na isama ako sa listahan ng mga babae mo." I laughed sarcastically. "Pwes! Wala kang maloloko rito dahil break na---ahhh! Ano ba!"

He carried me in a bridal style and walked in his bedroom. Nanlaki ang mata ko sa takot.

"H-hoy gago s-sabi ko dalagang pilipina ako diba?"

"Yes. But because you ruined my plan of proposing with you tonight, I'll make you say yes in the hottest way!"

And there, he kissed me fully in the lips. And that night, a hot steamy moment happened. And yes, hindi na ako dalagang pilipina.

"How could you look so gorgeous and hot at the same time, baby?"  Sandro asked smilingly nang makarating na kami pareho sa harap ng altar.

"Buntis na ako gago. Di mo na ako kelangang bolahin." Bulong ko sakaniya at inirapan siya. Natawa siya ng malakas kaya umismid ako.  Tumikhim ang pari sa harapan kung kayat napatingin kami sakaniya.

"Sorry father." Hihi.

Matapos ang seremoniya ay ilang picture taking ang naganap bago kami nilapitan ng isang matangkad at magandang babae.

"Grace." My husband greeted him. At kung hindi ko lang siya kilala, baka nasabunutan ko na siya sa selos. But since kilala ko na siya, I won't because she's our wedding planner. Yeah, grace is our wedding planner. We had few moments of chitchats bago ako muling nilapitan ng isa sa mga babaeng pinagselosan ko noon.

"Hi ate Lore! Congratulations sa wedding and to your baby! Wow! A double celebration!" And she's Hariyah, the youngest cousin of Sandro. The one I saw him with at the resraurant that night i thought he's cheating. And mind you, she kissed him on the cheeks pala, not on the lips. I felt bad accusing my husband a cheater when in fact, he's not.

"Thanks Hari!"

I felt happiness, glow, and sudden maturity of mind and heart all at the same time. If you want to find your happiness, make yourself grow, not only physically but also mentally. Hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon, may taong may kayang intindihin ka. And I'm glad that Sandro was that man who understood me after all we've been through.

These things i'll never forget...

THE END.
