Yma’s POV
“Yma…” tawag sa akin ni Ryan
Kasalukuyan na kaming bumabyahe pabalik sa Maynila. Nasira nga ang masaya sanang bakasyon dahil sa pag-uusap na yon
Di ako sumagot.
“Yma, I know that you won’t talk to me, but please listen to me. Just lend me your ears.” Nakaupo siya sa tabi ko. Andito kami sa likod ng kotse.
Di pa rin ako sumagot kaya’t napabuntong hininga siya.
“The reason why I brought in the USA is that I fell in love with you the moment I saw you on the laptop screen. You’re so beautiful and charming and caring and loving. You’re a wonderful girl…” tumutulo na ang luha ko, pero hindi ko pa rin siya tintingnan.
“And then when I fetched you at the airport, I realized that we don’t have a relationship. And I am a huge sucker at relationships. So, I thought that to let you stay with me, the only thing that I can think of is to put some kind of hold on you, and that is to force you. I never meant when I said ‘I’ll kill you’ if you’ll not follow my orders. It’s just that I was scared that you’ll leave me.”
Napabuntong hininga ulit siya “Like what I said back at the hotel, I was not yet ready to be a father so I got angry when we found out that you’re pregnant. I was outrageous. But then, when my mom talked to me, I realized that I was very wrong. I was about to make peace with you but then my ego took over and I am very sorry. I was very, very devastated when our child died, I didn’t want that to happen. I was miserable when you left, but I can’t do anything. I tried to move on, but then, I still kept thinking about you.”
Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko, hinayaan ko lang din siya “Please forgive me Yma, I know this is long overdue, but I am very sorry. I hope you can still forgive me and accept my love for you. It is not too late yet…”
“Sir, Ma’am, we’re here.” Binuksan na ng driver ang pinto at lumabas na kami dalawa ni Ryan
Nang makuha ko na ni Ryan ang mga bagahe niya, lumingon siya sa akin bago umalis “Yma, please think about it. I’ll be right here waiting.”
Iyon lang at umalis na siya.
Naiwan naman akong luhaan. Di ko na alam nag gagawin ko. Gulong-gulo na ako sa mundo. Nalilito na ako kung maniniwala ba ako kay Ryan o patuloy pa rin siyang kamuhian. Di ko na alam.

“Really?! He’s your boss?! Wow. That’s what you called destiny sis!” masayang sabi ni Claire. Nagskskype kasi kami palagi eh simula nung umuwi ako ng Pilipinas. Asenso na yan, may sarili siyang pastry store
“Yeah…” maluya kong sagot. Di pa rin kasi mawala sa utak ko yung mga sinabi sa akin ni Ryan noong nakaraan kaming nag-usap
