In Heaven

“Sir your presentation will about to start in 5 minutes.”

“Okay. Make sure that everything is okay. Ayokong may pumalpak. It’s a billion dollar presentation. Remember that.”

“Yes sir.” Iyon lang at umalis na ang secretary nya.

MARCUS POV

Tiningnan nya ang phone na katabi ng picture frame nila. Should he call her? It’s been 4 months since he left and decided not to contact her. Hindi kasi nito naiintindihan na kailangan nyang umalis para din sa future nila. He need to work hard para hindi nya na muli pang maranasan ang buhay na kinasadlakan nya noon. MAHIRAP. Ayaw nyang danasin nito ang mga pinagdaan nya. So he work really hard just to be on top. To give her a bright future.

Kinuha nya ang phone. Should he call her? Will she answer? Matapos sya nitong iwan at hindi intindihin.

NO! He just made the right decision to prioritized their future. Yes!

“Sir, It’s time.” Sabi ng secretary nya na nagpabalik sa katinuan nya. Tumayo na sya and sighed. He would just call her later. After the presentation.

HER POV

It’s been 4 months since he left. At sa malaking monitor sa labas ng opisina na pinagtatrabahuhan nya ay nakikita nya ang mukha nito. So he’s back. At hindi man lang ito nag abalang tumawag. Ayon sa balita isang billion dollar presentation ang gaganapin sa kompanya nito. At talagang iki-nover ang nasabing presentation. Kung titingnan nya mukhang napakasaya nito. Nga naman. Madadagdagan na naman ang yaman nito. At sya. Heto hanggang tingin na lamang.

She rub her tummy. She’s 4 months pregnant. At ang lalaking ni hindi man lang nag abala na tumawag sa kanya ang ama nito. Kinuha nya ang phone nya sa bulsa. She dialed his number. She then rub again her tummy.

Baby let’s see who daddy gonna prioritized…

Muli nyang tiningnan ang mukha nito sa monitor habang nagsasalita. Maya maya pa tila natigilan ito. He must heared his phone. Ang mga media naman sa nasabing presentation ay tila hinihintay kung sasagutin nya ang phone. She saw his secretary Suli mouthed it’s HER! But he just looked away to Suli and continue his presentation.

A single tear drop escape in her eyes. That’s it. She look up in the sky. It’s beginning to rain. As if the weather sympathized with her.  She felt numb. He finally decided, he finally chose who will he prioritized. Then she remember.  Lagi itong wala. Halos lahat ng dates, anniversary maging sa birthday nya sa loob ng walong taon na pinagsamahan nila lagi syang pangalawa. His career is always his top priority. Ngayon pa naman nya balak sabihin dito na they  gonna have their first child. But still he left her behind.

Naglakad sya palapit sa monitor. Nasa kabilang establishment ito. Tinitingnan nya ng mabuti ang mukha ng taong pinag alayan nya ng lahat. She don’t give a damn even if she’s soaking in wet.

THIRD PERSON’S POV

Tila wala syang pakialam sa nangyayari sa paligid nya. Nang patawid na sya papunta sa kabilang istablisyemento hindi na nya narinig pa ang mga sigaw ng ibang tao. Hindi na nya narinig ang pagpigil ng mga ito sa kanya.

Isang tila nakakasilaw na liwanag ang nagpabalik ng katinuan nya. But its already too late.

And then…………………………………………………

Marcus POV

Finally! The presentation is a big SUCCESS!!.. He’s proud of himself. Halos lahat ay gustong makipagkamay sa kanya..

“Congratulations Mr. Zenandre!”

“Thank you.” He said with a big smile. He’s really happy. When suddenly his secretary Suli interrupt with his phone.

He excused himself to the crowd at pumunta sa opisina nya.

“What Suli?” he said irritated.

“Sir it’s her!”

“Ano na naman bang kailangan nya? Kanina balak nya pang istorbohin ang presentation. Anong sabi nya?” ngunit hindi sumasagot ang sekretarya nya. He saw a single tear in her eyes. Kinabahan sya bigla.

“Sir.”

“Give me the phone!” He said nervously. She did give the phone. Tila nanginginig pa ito ng iaabot sa kanya ang phone.

“Hello?”

“Hello? Relative po ba kayo ni Ms. Burren?” sabi ng boses sa kabilang linya.

“Im her fiancé.” He said. He’s planning to propose after this presentation. Nakabili na sya ng engangement ring para dito.

“Well Sir, were very sorry.”

Napatayo sya sa swivel chair. Anung ibig sabihin nito. Bakit humihingi ng sorry ang kausap nya.

“What are you talking about?”

“Sir nasagasaan po si Ms. Burren. Kadarating nya lang po dito sa St. Mary Hospital. But she did not make it. She and your child did not make it.”

Nabitawan nya ang phone na hawak.

She  did not make it……….

She and your child did not make it…………………

It can’t be. Katatapos lang ng presentation na pinaghandaan nya ng ilang buwan. He ensure everything. So that his presentation would be a huge success. For her.

But she leave.. Hindi sya nito hinintay… hindi sya nito nahintay..

He know he always set aside her and always taking her for granted. Ito ang laging nag eeffort sa relationship nila. Ito ang laging umuunawa, nagbibigay, nagpaparaya.

He’s always absent. In every dates, anniversary even in her birthdays….

She’s always alone. She don’t have anything but him.

Lagi nitong sinasabi na kahit abandunado at iniwan sya ng parents nya as long as he’s always there for her masaya na ito.

Iwan man sya ng lahat basta at nasa tabi sya kontento na ito.

But he’s the one who’s not contented. Sya ang may mali. Kahit na pilit nyang isiksik sa isip nya na ito ang hindi nakakaintindi at nakakaunawa sa kanya deep inside she’s the only one who will always gonna understand him.

And they gonna have a child.. a new reason for him to work hard..

But now their gone…

She’s gone….

forever…
