Unshed Tears

Huling Kabanata

"Hindi ko alam na ikaw ang nagdusa Angel... Kung alam ko lang..." inalo ko si Macy ng magsimula syang umiyak.

Darn, hindi na namin maibabalik pa ang panahon.

I just couldn't believe we've landed in the same path. Sobrang liit pala ng mundo. May mga bagay na hindi mo inaasahan tapos kusang darating.

I stared at her for a moment. Medyo malaki na ang kanyang tiyan. We haven't seen each other for four years and all I can say is that her body and face looks matured. She's still very sexy despite of being pregnant, while me, argh. I'm thin as a stick! Resulta ng paglilihi.

Beside her is the father of his child. And who would've thought it's Jet Del Valle!

Hindi ako makapaniwala. The world was really so small, isn't it?

I was so shocked when I found out that he is the father of my friend's child. Agad namang sumama ang tingin ni Drei sa kay Jet ng makita ito, hindi pa rin makaget over sa nangyari sa resort.

I glanced at Macy, or should I call Astrid, now? Sa loob ng dalawang taon, nakalimutan nya ang kanyang pangalan.

I know that the world has been so hard to the both of us. I am so triggered to the possibility of the consequences of my actions before, and here I am now, hindi makapaniwalang sa loob ng apat na taon, makikita ko ang taong akala ko'y patay na.

Hinawakan ko ang kanyang kamay. She's sobbing because of the pain she's feeling. Guilty sya sa nangyari sa'kin even though I already told her that it's not her fault.

"Hindi mo nga kasalanan 'yon Macy. Wala kang maalala, at wala kang ginawang mali. In fact, you saved me. Nung naalala mo ang lahat ay tinulungan mo ako, kaya wag mong sisihin ang sarili mo. Everything happens for a reason.." I told her.

She hugged me tightly. I smiled.

" Hindi ka parin nagbabago, iyakin ka pa rin." tudyo ko sa kanya.

Natawa sya bago bumitaw sa pagkakayakap sa'kin. She smiled genuinely at me, atsaka sya napatingin sa aking maliit na tiyan.

" Are you pregnant?" hindi makapaniwala nyang tanong.

Ngumuso si Drei sa tabi ko. He snaked his arms on my waist.

"Oo, five weeks narin." nakangiti kong sabi sa kanya.

Bigla syang napatalon sa saya kaya inalalayan agad sya ni Jet.

I looked at them for a brief moment.
The way he looks at her, is full of love.

Isang bagay na minsan ko na ring hiniling sa buhay ko. Isang bagay na pilit kong inangkin, kahit hindi naman para sa akin.

But now, after all the chains, the heartaches, and the pain,

He stayed by my side. Never wanting to let me go, and so do I.

"Congratulations! Oh my God! Ninang ako ha," she giggled.

Napangisi ako sa kanilang dalawa ni Jet. I don't know what's the real score between this two, but hopefully, they will end up with each other. Who knows? Baka sila talaga ang para sa isa't isa.

Maybe what happened between them was a mistake, but it leads them to a new beginning, to a new love.

"Of course. Ikaw, kailan kayo magpapakasal nitong si Jet?" I asked.

Right when I teased her, she blushed and looked away the reason why me and my husband chuckled.

"A-ah, hindi pa namin napag-uusapan.." nahihiya nyang sabi.

I glanced at Jet who was busy staring at Macy. This man is obviously in love with her and I know that the feeling is mutual, so bakit pa nila papatagalin? to see if they are ready? Actually, they are!
