A Love worth waiting ✔

Chapter 33

THIRTY-THREE

And just like any other days. Naging busy ulit ako ng mga sumunod na araw., Two weeks nalang at kasal na ni andress. The latter still stay at our house. Hindi yata siya pumapasok dahil pag-aalis ako ay gising na siya at hinahatid ako papasok ng office. Pag-uwi ko naman ay sinusundo niya rin ako.

Parang the calm before the storm ang peg namin. Why his staying at our house. Hindi ba siya hinahanap ng senyora, e yung fiancee niya kaya?

Noong una ay nagulat pa ako na mabungaran siya sa harap ng office boutique namin. Kaya pala halos mangisay ang staff ni ana sa kilig. Si ana naman ay todo taas ang kilay kakatitig sa akin. Puro pandidilat naman ako sa kanya.

It makes me more flutter and overwhelmed that andress was fetcheng me. Hindi ko lubos akalain na may ganitong side si andress. SWEET. Sweet na siya noon penelope. Weh?

Ang alam ko lang his more of a possessive than sweet. But things got rough between us when we were younger. Siguro kong nagtagal na naging kame noon ay baka nga maging sweet din siya sa akin. But then again its all in the past now. I should cherish this memories his giving me. Wala naman siyang sinasabi tungkol sa kasal niya. I know his enjoying what we have. Short time experience kumbaga. Kakaunting paglalaan ng panahon sa akin bago niya ibigay sa ibang babae ang kanyang apelyido and its hurting me. Kasi tanga ka penelope! Tanga ka pagdating sa isang William Andress.

Kumikirot at halos hindi na ako makahinga sa sobrang sakit kapag wala akong ginagawa sa gabi at ang isip ko ay napupunta kay andress. Ano bang meron sa amin? Why is andress gives more care all of a sudden? Why is he doing a lot of sweet things for me?

Still, I can't asked him those questions. I am scared. Scared of knowing the truth that his doing this because this is what tony wants. I overheard his conversation with our son

"I want to see you and mama together, daddy. Can you do that for me?" he pat tony's head and smiled warmly.

"okay. I'll be the sweetest guy your mom will ever had. I'll make sure she's smiles a lot"

Bumalik ako sa kwarto ko na nasasaktan. I shouldn't feel hurt, pero nasasaktan ako na ginagawa niya lamang ang mga bagay na ginagawa niya dahil nangako siya kay tony.

Tapos kapag kasal na siya paano na? And there's stephen. Hindi din naman pwedeng hindi siya magpakasal kay Melinda. Kahit arranged marriage lang yun ay kailangan parin ni Stephen ng magulang. Nang isang kompletong pamilya.

I should talk to my son. Imposibleng mabubuo kameng pamilya. I should tell him not to hope na makakasama namin ang daddy niya.

Truth is, It's me who is hoping. And hurting.

"hoy bruha. Kanina ka pa tulala" hinampas ni ana ang braso ko. Napabuntunghinga ako. Umuulan sa labas. Feeling ko nakikiramdam ang panahon sa nararamdaman ko.

"ana-"

"yes dear, Penelope" napangiwi ako. Ana smiled wickedly.

"ang lungkot naman ng ngiti mo bes" napabuntunghininga ulit ako.

"tingin mo totoo yung nasa librong. And they lived happily ever after?" ana's stared at me longer than usual. She sigh at nag-iwas ng tingin sabay ayis ng  pagtayo and crossed her arms on her chest.

"Novels or pocketbooks had a lot of happy endings because it's a story of hope that gives every heart a chance to be happy. Still, happiness is always our choice. If you want to be happy, so be happy. Hindi naman hawak ng ibang tao ang buhay naten. Tayo ang may hawak ng ating kapalaran. Were hurt because we let somebody hurt us. We're sad because we let sadness drown into our system. Were hurt because we let our guards down and let someone hurt us. You only have to choose pen. You have to choose wisely. Don't let someone choose for the sake of your own happiness. Ever after is a choice you made because you want to be happy."
