Prologue
"Cabin crew, please take your seats for take-off." The pilot announced.
I'm on a plane back to Manila now. I already knew that I will go back there but I wasn't expecting to come back that quick.
Funny how staying in Davao was spontaneous and unplanned. I just said I would want to go away and like a magic— voila! I stayed there for weeks. And in between those weeks, I've learned a lot and experienced a lot.
I learned how to live on my own with a tight budget. I worked. I need to budget everything I buy because I don't have the cash.
I got to live a simple and peaceful life even just for a short period of time.
I got to meet new people and experience their lifestyle. I'm lucky and beyond thankful for meeting them. It's like having a new family. A family I wish I had. I met new friends. And I met him.
Within those weeks who would've thought I will fall inlove?
What a small world it is. But how much small this world is, sometimes it could get really unfair.
Sometimes we just love what we can't have.
I suddenly felt guilty. I was so selfish. Dapat hindi naging kami. Alam ko namang may problema sa likod ko, pinili ko parin siya. Kahit alam kong masasaktan siya.
A song once said, too much love could kill you.
Fuck, yes. It hurts a lot that it kills me.
Hindi ko napansing pumatak na ang luha ko. Agad ko namang pinunasan ito dahil nakakahiya naman sa katabi ko.
Ano kaya ang mangyayari bukas, sa susunod na linggo, o sa susunod na buwan? Will he come back to me? I don't think so.
I wonder how is he doing now. Parehas ba kami ng nararamdaman? I just hope he wouldn't think that I didn't really loved him. Because I did. I was madly, deeply in love with him.
They say, love is sacrifice.
I love him. But I guess, I love my family more. That I sacrificed our love and chose my family over him. I have no regrets on choosing my dad, I just hope he understands but I know he wouldn't. He will never.
My flight back to Manila was full of reminiscing untill the plane landed.
"On behalf of this Airline, the flight crew would like to thank you for choosing us. You may now proceed to the terminal gate. Welcome to Manila and we are hoping to see you on your next flight. Have a great day." The pilot announced again.
As soon as I got my luggages, I went out and saw our driver.
"Good afternoon, Ma'am!"
"Hi, kuya. It's nice to see you,"
"Same, Ma'am." He chuckled. Pumasok na ako sa loob ng kotse. And guess what I did? Think again.
"Diretso po tayo sa ospital, Ma'am?" He asked and I just nodded.
I could still remember the words I said before I left Manila.
"Mom, hanggang sa pag pili ba naman ng mapapangasawa, kayo parin ang nagdedecide?!"
"I'am not marrying him!"
It felt like those words echoed on my head. I guess I will be eating my words before. I might be full for fuck's sake.
After a 20 minute drive, the car stopped when we arrived at the hospital.
Kuya Mario came with me because I have no clue of what's his room number.
"Dito po, Ma'am," he gestured me the room. Before I opened the door, I took a deepr breathe. I wasn't surprised to see my mom.
"Savi, anak," she approached me and hugged me.
As soon as I let go of the hug I told her, "I've decided. I'm going to marry him."
For daddy.
