Gryffin,
I don't know if you could still read this letter or not, but it was true that I needed to talk with you and it frustrates me that this is the only way I can do, but I had to give it one last shot.
Hindi ko ikakaila na gabi-gabi kong pinapanalangin na sana... sana tayo pa ring dalawa. There were many nights where I wish I was wrapped in your arms–that we were cuddling, kissing, or just simply enjoying each others' company.
Walang oras na hindi ko pinanalangin na sana, ako pa rin, because I miss you terribly, Gryffin.
But, I know that you have already found the one who'll make you happy, the one who made sense why everything has happened- did happen.
Now, I wanted to sincerely apologize for leaving you. Believe me it wasn't easy for me,too, wala namang iba- I just got scared that moment.
I wanted to go back, but things got pretty hard in Canada. I was at the peak of my career when I wanted to go back to you, because it didn't make me happy, yet fate made its way and it wasn't led straight to you.
So, our time came to an end long before I claimed you back, but I want you to know that I am eternally grateful to you for giving me the best time of my life.
Goodbye, Gryffin.
I'll be moving on. I will never forget the way you made my heart feel, those years with you was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have to do what's best for me now. I have to focus on making the best out of what life has given me.
I have to let you go and that was the hardest line to write. I wish you all the happiness life can offer. Please tell Daniella that I'm sorry... be happy.
Sincerely Yours,
Anabeth
NAPABUNTONG hininga si Gryffin nang mabasa ang sulat na pinadala ni Anabeth para sa kanya. It was more of a relief, parang nabunutan siya ng tinik sa dibdib.
Of course, even though Anabeth was his ex-fiancé. She still has a special place in his life, maybe not anymore in his heart but in his life.
Naging mabuti na kaibigan at kasintahan ito sa kanya, and he would treasure that forever.
But right now, what she has done didn't really matter anymore because it led him to his wife, Daniella.
"Okay ka lang, Gryff?" Tanong sa kanya ni Daniella, "What's that?"
Lumapit ito sa kanya, inabot niya sulat ni Anabeth rito. "She wrote us a letter" aniya.
Binuksan naman ni Daniella ito, napakunot ang noo, "Para sa'yo lang naman ito,e.."
"Baby, what's mine is yours."
Sinarado ni Daniella ang sulat matapos basahin, "Sus, bolero ka talaga. Anyway, handa ka na ba?"
He smiled and stood up, pagkuwa'y hinalikan ito sa noo, "I love you so much and yes, I am ready to meet my baby"
Ngayon kasi ang check-up ni Daniella sa OB and now, malalaman na nila ang gender ng kanilang baby!
"Hey, chill ka lang. You look tense.." puna ng asawa sa kanya. "Ano ba nangyayari sa'yo?"
"I am not tense, I am excited" sambit niya, "I can't wait to know what will be my baby"
"Huwag kang magalala, tao ang anak natin" Biro nito sa kanya, "and I am sure, maganda o gwapo ang baby natin"
Inakbayan niya ito, "Pwede naman maganda at gwapo sila" Tinaas baba nito ang kilay sabay kindat.
"Sorry mister, kung kambal ang anak natin ay maaga pa lang ay alam na natin"
Tumawa siya, "Malay mo... I love you"
Namula ang pisngi ni Daniella, "Panay I love you mo, ha? Pass muna ako mamaya, malikot na ang anak mo"
"Ikaw lang naman ang nangangalabit, e--- ouch!" Siniko siya nito, "Totoo naman, ha?"
"Baka may makarinig sa'yo! Nakakahiya"
He chuckled, "Ayos lang iyan"
"Mr. and Mrs. Delaverde?" Tawag ng secretarya sa kanila, "Inaantay na po kayo ni Doc"
Magkahawak kamay silang pumasok sa loob at nang nilagay na sa tiyan niya ang stick ay nagsimula nang tignan ng doctor ang nasa screen.
"That's your baby.. see?" tinignan nilang dalawa ang nasa screen, "She's healthy"
Napatitig si Gryffin sa screen, tila tumigil ang paligid niya nang malaman na babae ito. His heart melted, he'll be having a baby girl!
Iniisip na niya kung papaano ito hahawakan, papaano ito proprotektahan, paano ito aalagaan.
"Gryff.. girl ang baby natin!" Sambit ni Daniella, he looked into her eyes and kissed her lips. "May prinsesa ka na.."
"Hi Baby, I am your Papa" he cried.
Yes, Gryffin Mackenzie Delaverde just cried. "I love you and your Mommy so much"
"We love you, too, Papa.." she chuckled and wiped their tears, "para tayong baliw, ang iyakin natin"
"You made me so happy, Ella.. So happy.."
"Ako rin, Gryff.. masaya rin ako" sagot nito.
