Chapter Thirty-One

[Mikho's POV]

WHEN you're at your lowest you are most vulnerable to sin. Hindi ko gustong saktan ang babaeng pinakamamahal ko. I thought I was raised with the strongest foundation of faith, being a servant of God and a seminarian. Pero kahit gaano katayog ang pananampalataya mo dahil tao kalang masusubok at masusubok ang katatagan mo.

I was tested yet I indulged myself to sin. I longed for the affection that Enna always brings. I wanted to take care of her and at the back of my mind, I was hoping that she was Mikaela, who's pregnant with our baby. That I was exactly taking care of the woman I love. But even if how many times I will try to justify my deed, alam kong sobrang mali ng nagawa ko. And it hurt my Enna.

That was the lowest point of our lives. Where I felt so frustrated, questioning God of our baby's death and what we've become. There came a point in time when I started to lose hope in our lives. But God's favor was always with us.

What's good about us, is that we were so full of love from the very start. Our love story started out unconventionally but our hearts were abruptly filled with so much love for each other that there was no room for doubts between them. We knew how so much in love we were and we trusted the love that we have for each other. Kaya nahirapan ang mga problemang dumaan na tibagin kami.

God filled us with so much love, and by His grace we endured everything no matter how hard it was. Alam kong marami pa kaming haharapin but now I was confident that we'll get through it, kagaya ng kung pa'no namin nalampasan lahat ng mga pagsubok noon at ngayon.

"Now it's your turn Enna. Tell us the thing that you most hate about our brother Mikho," Ate Cassie teasingly looked at me. Everything that she had planned now was for me and Enna.

Once they had dinner my sister bugged my brothers to come here with their wives and asked random questions until it reached out to asking us about how each of us feels with our spouses. My sister knows how affectionate and vocal my Enna was. She was doing this to help Enna open up her feelings again without reservation. Kagaya kung pa'no siya sa akin noon. Alam ni Ate lahat dahil siya lang ang nag-iisang kapatid kong babae,sa kanya ako madalas na humihingi ng tulong kapag tungkol sa palangga ko.

The past years, my family was involved with our lives and I was glad that they did their part through Enna's recovery.

They did so much lalo na si Kuya Elijah. He took care of everything that's left unanswered with Enna's family when we left for the States.

Enna doesn't know a thing about it because she doesn't want to talk about them. I was just waiting for the right time to tell her everything. And maybe now I can, little by little.

Alam kong simula palang ito ng paggaling niya. Pinapangako ko na gagawin ko ang lahat para maibalik hindi lang ang buong sigla niya kundi ang buhay na pangarap niya at pangarap ko sa kanila ng mga anak namin. I know, God had already laid the things she deserves in this life. He only have to pick the perfect timing. At alam kong binigay na Niya ang pagkakataon sa amin ngayon.

Naramdaman kong humigpit ang pagkakahawak ng palangga ko sa kamay ko. I pulled her even more closer to me before she tilted her head to look at me. Her eyes sparkled, like how the way she looks at me since the first time.

I smiled at her, gulping down the lump in my throat. Parang hindi parin ako makapaniwalang nakikita ko na muli ang ningning sa mga mata ng palangga ko. Na nakikita ko na ngayon ang miss na miss ko nang babaeng pinakamamahal ko.
