Chapter 54: Perfect

Sven

A lot has changed after a very tough year. But looking at the positive side of things, it made us all braver. As mom requested, dad left our house but not our lives. I was so happy seeing mom happy despite not having dad by her side. I know how much she loves him that she afforded to set him free. Busy siya ngayon sa pagpapatakbo ng negosyo. At ang pinakanagpapasaya sa kanya ngayon ay ang foundation na naka-focus sa mga batang wala ng pamilya— children in the streets and children at the orphanage.

On the other hand, dad lives in a condominium unit besides mine. Yep. You thought it right. He surely intended to do this to look after her. Aww—Haha. Seriously, we usually visit Miracle together. For that year, dad was my rival. Inaagawan niya ako ng time kasama ang girlfriend ko. Hindi ko na nga mabilang ang dates na na-postpone and na-cancel ng dahil sa kanya. However, it's the only rivalry that made me happy. Spending time with Miracle makes dad really joyful. At nakikita ko rin kung gaano kasaya ang babaeng mahal ko kapag magkasama sila.

"Dummy. What are you thinking?"she suddenly asked.

"Everything. Ang daming nangyari sa nakaraang taon."sagot ko.

First, Devi passed away. Then, everything messed up with our families; Miracle's, Nix' and mine.

"I missed Nix."she said out of the void. "I want to see him."

Napangiti ako sa naging desisyon niya. Sa loob ng nagdaang taon, it became their mutual decision to stay away from each other. That very night where they lost both of their fathers, Nixon just said his sorry to her. After that, he stayed away and Miracle just let him which I know exactly why. Nababalot pa sa sakit ang puso niya. Pero alam ko naman na darating ang araw na 'to eh. I know that she will eventually forgive the world which took her treasures from her. It is only after giving forgiveness that you will truly find the path to happiness.

"Dude. I'm outside your unit. I need your advice. I need your help... I can't lose her."I told him dramatically over the phone.

"Don't tell me you messed with my little sister. I'll break your neck!"he angrily stated referring to Miracle.

"Yes. It's about her, dude. I messed up. I need your help."

Agad na bumukas ang pinto matapos kong sabihin 'yon. Natigilan naman agad si Nixon nang makita ang nakangiting katabi ko.

"I miss you, Nix."sambit niyang diretsong nagpaluha rito.

Pinanood ko silang nagyakapan at muntik narin akong maluha dahil sa iyakan nilang dalawa.

"I'm sorry, kid—"

"It was never your fault. I'm sorry if I tried to hate you."she admitted making Nix smile bitterly.

"It's okay. I hated myself too."

"Come on. Let's let it go. You know you have always been the best brother. Thanks for making me see that."

"Ang korni natin, bata."tugon ni Nixon na nagpatawa sa'kin.

Pagkatapos naming kumain ni Miracle that night, napagkasunduan naming tumambay muna sa roof deck ng Hamilton tower. We were both star-gazing. She gazed at the stars in the skies while I gaze at my only beautiful star.

"I love you, brainy."

Agad na nilingon niya ako't tinawanan dahil sa biglaang pagsabi ko ng mga katagang 'yon. She doesn't want to hear them randomly because it will make her blush. But before she could say something, I possessively locked her lips with mine. We were both catching out breaths when we ended the kiss.
