Beautiful Mistake

Chapter Forty-Six

Kakatapos lang ng exam ni Abby kanina kaya naman ramdam niya ang pagod ng mata at katawan kahit na nakaupo lang naman siya sa computer chair.

"Are you okay?" Raven asked her, "How was your exam?"

"Okay naman. Ang bilis ko lang talagang antukin..." She honestly said, "Mabuti na lang considerate ang professor ko. Binigyan pa ako ng extension..."

"Come here," inalalayan siya nito papatayo at lumipat sila sa sofa, "They are considerate because they can see how determined you are to finish your studies, Baby."

She smiled, "Paano pala kapag nanganak ako? Does it mean I should stop, again?"

"Whatever you want, Abby. I'll be here, okay? If you want to continue next semester, I'll support you."

"You're making it so easy for me, huh?"

"Of course. Ayoko naman na ipagpaliban mo ang pangarap mo dahil sa may anak na tayo. Isa pa, ilang buwan na lang rin naman iyon. Either way, whatever you decide, I'm just here..."

"Kailan mo ako papakasalan?" Natigilan ito at napangisi sa kanya, "Gulat na gulat sa tanong ko?" She pouted her lips.

He chuckled with her expression, "Ikaw lang naman ang hinihintay ko."

"Seryoso ka ba? Ibig sabihin naghihintayan tayo?"

Umiling ito, "I've settled everything. Date na lang ang kulang. Do you want it before you give birth or after?"

"Syempre gusto ko before. Aba, anak ko lang ang Delaverde? Dapat ako rin!"

He roared in laughter, "All right. Tutal naman ay tapos na ang exams mo, is Saturday okay with you?"

"Sa Sabado na agad?"

Tumango ito, "Yes."

"Can we just have a simple wedding? Like... Civil?"

"Why?" He asked, "You want a big wedding I know."

Tumango siya. Nasabi nga niya iyon noon pero, "Wala naman na si Tatay para ihatid ako sa altar. Ang gusto ko lang naman ngayon, maging legal na itong pagsasama natin."

"Really?" Mukhang ito pa ang nabigo, "But I want a big wedding, too..."

"Talaga ba?"

Tumango nito, "I wanted to give you what you want."

"I only want you as my husband, Raven. But, thank you for remembering my dream. We were still young back then, we have other priorities now. I know that we have means to get that big wedding pero, huwag naman ngayon na halos kasing laki ng cake itong tyan ko." She chuckled and looked at his eyes, "Will that be okay?"

"Then we'll get married tomorrow." Desisyon nito kaagad, "Okay?"

"Wait, what about the rings?"

"I told you it has been settled." He said and eventually kneeled down in front of her. "Clara Abigail, will you marry me tomorrow?"

She smiled and kissed him, "Yes..."

"This is so urgent, Kuya!" It's Huffle. "Hala, ang ganda mo, Ate Abby!"

"Thank you so much, Huffle. Buti at pwede ka ngayon."

"Of course, ako pa ba ang hindi pwede?"

Sunod na dumating si Slyther at Gryffin. Daniella arrived with Mama Maricar, Papa Tristan and the twins, Arya and Jacob.

Then guess who arrived last?

It's Dominic.

"Dad..." Hindi na niya ito matawag na Sir dahil huli naman nilang magkita ay mag-ama pa sila. "You're here..."
