"ARE you ready?"
Huminga ng malalim si Jaquelyn bago unti-unting tumingin sa salamin na iniabot sa kanya ni Brien. Magkahalong kaba at excitement ang naghahari sa kanyang puso. Narito sila ngayon sa ospital upang tanggalin na ang bandage sa kanyang ilong.
It was like seeing herself again for the first time.
She remembers herself. Subalit may kulang pa rin. Ang ala-ala lamang niya ay iyong kabataan niya hanggang noong mamatay ang daddy niya when she was sixteen. Pagkatapos ay kinuha siya ng kanyang Tito upang sa Chicago na pag-aralin because her mom can't raise her. She's a lawyer in Chicago. That's all. Hindi niya naaalala ang mga recent na pangyayari kung paano siya naaksidente.
But that's good. Better even. Hindi pa siya handang malaman kung bakit nga ba siya nabangga ni Brien.
Tuluyan niyang itinapat ang mukha sa salamin. She blinked several times habang tinititigan ang sarili. Kakatwa na parang ibang tao ang kanyang tinitingnan. Brien made a good job at the operation. Walang naiwang pilat sa kanyang ilong. Funny kung paanong malaki ang nagawa ng isang plaster sa kanyang ilong.
She looked... alright. Her nose was small but pointy.
Tumingin siya kay Brien. "So this is how I really look," pagbibiro niya.
"You're always beautiful to me, kahit noon pa," seryosong tugon nito.
She can't keep her eyes off him. Her heart was bursting with gratitude and pride and love for this man. The emotions in his eyes were filling her. Body and soul. She may not know the vital parts of her past.
But she can't imagine her future without him.
Without his warmth. His touch. His lips.
Napalunok siya ng umakyat ang kanyang mga mata pabalik sa mata ni Brien. His blue eyes were intense. Pareho sila ng naiisip. She smiled and shrugged. "Later," she mouthed playfully.
