a/n: and again may writers block na naman ako...kaasar!! :(
*Oli's pov*
Facing both our mothers was something I certainly didn't expect doing but all for the love of this cute chinito beside me I would do everything I can, everything that I could to make him happy even if it means my own heartbreak. We were both sitting in front of our mothers as we were drinking coffee rather as I was sipping my glass of wine seeing I won't be doing any driving tonight and all I wanted to do was get this over and done with. The sooner we finish this discussion the better for everyone, I looked at him explaining to his mom and mine as to his reasons why he didnt and why he can't marry me, hearing them was heartbreaking but knowing that it could mean his freedom I decided to suck it up and just cry after.
'Tell me again Jeric why are you so against this marriage? I mean for the love of-Oli's perfect for you.' Tita Susan argued again 'can you not consider it?'
'Mom, Tita Marge I honestly can't. I thought about this and it's not what I want. I also don't want to be unfair to Olivia.'
But before he could do more damage to my heart and my pride I decided to take things from here as I placed my hand on top of his,I would allow this tiny luxury of touching him before I lose him completely. He looked at me with the saddest eyes and I know he's relying on me for his freedom...kasi naman Jeric Allen bakit ka pa nagging super gwapo na in love na naman ako sa'yo.
'Umma, Tita...for the longest time I know I've been in love with Jeric and I let that love blind me, I don't want to be blinded anymore and I don't want to keep on hurting myself in the process. Please...I don't know why we still want this marriage when we all know Jeric's happiness is at stake.' I said as I bowed my head I didn't want them to see the tears in my eyes as I let my happiness go.
I knelt down in front of our mothers in complete submission and in desperation for I know ours mothers would never listen to Jeric even if he tells them he's in love with someone else and for his happiness I am more than willing to go down on my knees and beg...'langhiya naman talaga pag in love.
'Sweetie why are you doing that?! Please stand up...' Tita Susan said 'Jeric help her stand.'
'Oli honey you don't have to do that, we understand and we won't force Jeric if he doesn't want to. That's why we're here.' My mom whispered as she touched my face and smiled sadly at me 'now stand up...'
But before I could Jeric was already beside me helping me while whispering 'why the hell did you do that??'
'Shut up Teng, diskarte ko 'to' I grumbled at him but let him guide me back to my seat next to him and as usual ang malandi kong puso nagwala na naman. 'Tita, Umma...let Jeric find happiness with the one he really loves. She's a beautiful girl and in the few hours I've talked to her I know she'll take care of Jeric.' I told them with a smile as I looked at Jeric beside me 'she'll take care of you and I'm sorry for everything...ahia.'
'Ahia? Why are you calling me ahia all of a sudden?' He told me as he shook his head 'you never call me that...'
Nakakatawa talaga tong si gums...dati nag rereklamo na I don't call him ahia ngayon naman I'm giving him what he wants nagulat pa...batukan ko kaya ng mawala na lahat ng sapi ng instik na'to.
'Yan ma oh, Tita Marge babatukan na naman ako ni shobe' sumbong niya kina mama na pinagtawanan lang nila.
'Oh my gosh Jeric Allen Uy Teng weird mo naman eh ang tangkad mo pa'no kita babatukan?! Adik ka talaga!'sabi ko sa kanya surprised at his sudden playfulness.
Our mothers didn't stay long so they decided to call it a night and Jeric was going to drive them home. I stood at the doorway and kissed both our mothers goodbye with a promise of another visit as soon as they get back from another business trip in Singapore, Jeric was the last to leave for he was still lounging near the door.
