All of Me

Chapter 2

"Julia, tama na please." Daniel snapped at his girlfriend.

Nasa opisina sila ng binata, he's dead tired, and a nagging girlfriend is the last thing that he needed at this time.

"And why would I stop?" Sagot sa kanya ng dalaga in an equal tone. "Nagpromise ka na sasamahan mo ko sa designer to get my gown for your sister's engagement party pero hindi ka dumating!"

Sinubukan ni Daniel na pakalmahin ang sarili nya. "I explained it to you already. Meron nga akong emergency meeting with the board members. Wag na tayo mag-away over petty things please."

"It's not petty! Nagpromise ka!"

Nagbilang sya from 1-10 to prevent himself from shouting at her face. "I'm sorry." Sinubukan nya to sound sincere, but the truth is, he's not.

Julia's face softened, "Hindi mo na uulitin yon?"

Napangiti si Daniel. "I promise." Then he walked towards her at niyakap sya.

"I love you." Bulong nya sa dalaga.

Hindi sya nito sinagot, she just kissed his lips. Mas pinalalim pa nya ang halik. Disappointed sya. Matagal na simula nung huli nyang narinig na sinabihan sya nito ng 'I love you'.

Julia is her girlfriend for 10 long years at mahal na mahal nya ito. He love her more than his life. Sya ang center ng mundo nya. Kahit lagi silang nagaaway nitong mga nakaraang linggo, nagawa pa rin nyang ayusin ang relasyon nila. He was 19 when she became his girlfriend. Since the day that he laid his eyes on her, he knew na sya lang ang babaeng mamahalin nya. She is his everything.

Halos lahat ng lalaki ay kinakainggitian sya for having a perfect girlfriend. Sya ang classic example ng beauty and brains. Sya ang pinakamatalino sa klase simula nang nag-aral ito. Sya din ang nagmamanage ng kumpanya ng lolo nya despite the fact that she's a girl. She has the most beautiful face a woman would kill to have. Gustong gusto na ni Daniel na pakasalan ang nobya but she would always refuse telling him that she has a lot of things to prove, lalo na sa lolo nya.

At minsan, he feels tired of waiting for her. Gusto na nya magkaroon ng pamilya at maraming anak. Napapagod na sya sa mga petty fights. Pero he can't give her up. He loves her so much that he feels like he won't be able to breathe if he'll lose her.

"I hate you!" Sabi agad sa kanya ni Mara pagkasakay nila sa kotse. Kathryn ignored her and closed her eyes. Pagod na pagod sya.

Sinundo sya ni Enrique at Mara sa airport.

"Sabi mo dadating ka a week before our engagement party, but tonight is our engagement party!" Patuloy na pagalit sa kanya ni Mara.

"Mara, give her a break." Singit ni Enrique, "Nagexplain naman na sya sayo."

"Pero nag-promise sya..."

"I'm sorry." Sabi ni Kathryn habang nakapikit pa rin. "Hindi ko kasi matanggihan ang kaibigan ko when he asked me to do a job for him. Don't worry magsstay ako dito hanggang sa kasal nyo."

Umirap na lamang si Mara. "At yang kaibigan mo nay an happened to be Vera Wang. Sino ba naman ako compared to her? Ako lang naman si Mara."

Tumawa si Kathryn sa pagddrama ng kaibigan. "I'm sorry, okay?"

"Patawarin mo na sya, Sweetie." Sambit muli ni Enrique.
