So that what happened...
Pamangkin ni Lex si Zander.
"Za? Hello?? May kausap pa ba ako?" tanong ni Sheila
"H--ha? yah..yah... Ano sabi mo? "
"Ang sabi ko.. puntahan mo na si Lex sa hospital."
"Bakit siya na-hospital?!"
"Stress... Sinabi niya sakin na sinabi na niya sa'yo ung totoo.. but wala kang kibo kaya he thought na wala na talag --"
"WHAT? He didn't even say a single thing?! He didn't even dare to visit me." reklamo ko.
""Zarinah.. If I were you... hindi ako nagpapakamanhid. Don't you know he goes here everyday before he goes to work. And your maids does not allow me to enter here. Cannot be reach pa ang cellphone mo. He's been sending you mails.. Wala ka bang internet? Yaman-yaman mo di ka makabili ng signal? And also pakicheck naman ang mailbox nyo. Oo makaluma ang style niya kaya lang wala na siyang maiisip na paraan kung pano niya ikaw makokontact."
I rushed over our mailbox. Oo nga totoo nga punong-puno ng letters. I read some of them. He worte everything that I need to know.. What hit me the most.. ung isang letter niya nakalagay ay
'Please meet me in this place... I'll be waiting for you'
Sh*t. I'm so rude. I asked Sheila kung saang hospital si Lex then I rushed over sa hospital. I looked for his room. As I opened the door, I saw him writing another letter.
"I hate you! Nakakainis ka! Punyatera ka!" I bursted out to tears.
"Za... Paano ---" sabi niya na mukhang gulat
"I have ears from hell." sabi ko habang tuloy-tuloy tumutulo ang luha ko.
"Za.. I'm so sorry... I should have told you the truth... Kasalanan ko lahat.. I'm really sorry Zarinah... Please give me another chance.. Promise ko hindi na ako magkekeep ng secrets.. just forgive---" He stopped talking as I hugged him
I don't need his apologies... I need him. I hugged him tighter and I can feel that he hugged me back.
"I'm sorry... I should have listened to you.. I hate myself kasi dahil sakin na-ospital ka..." I sniffed. He looked at my eyes. He wiped my tears and he kissed my forehead."
"Shh... I love you Zarinah."
I kissed him. I missed the taste of his lips.
"I love you too Alexander."

Years later...
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose and if you ever saw it you would even say it glows "
May school performance ang aking baby. :"> galing galing talaga kumanta ng baby ko! Hahah! Proud mama here! Cute-cute pa niya. :3 Sakin siya nagmana hindi sa tatay niya... Speaking of tatay.. wala pa rin ang kanyang tatay.
"Mommy.. Ba't wala pa si Daddy?" tanong sakin ni Zander
"He's not answering my calls ehh... Don't worry baby... sisiguraduhin ko mapapanoog niya ung dance number mo."
"Mommy! You know.. I heard sa backstage... darating daw si Santa Claus!" sigaw ni Zander. Mukhang excited ung baby ko ah!
Nagsimula na ang dance pero wala pa si Lex. I texted him na.. Ang reply lang niya 'On the way na ako hon.'
Nako ang tagal naman niya sa kalsada. Nangaroling pa ba? Nako...
"Cu'z all I want in Christmas... is you!"
YAY!!! Talented talaa ng baby ko!! Galing-galing sumayaw!! Cute niya in elf costume! Maya-maya lumabas si Santa. Laptrip! Si Santa nagdiet! Ahahah tapos nakikikanta siya sa mga bata. Lol! Dapat mapanood toh ni Lex! Hahaah Nakakatuwa naman toh!
"Ho-ho-ho!! Merry Christmas!" sabi ni Santa. "I am here to give gifts to nice children! Ho-ho-ho!"
"Yehey!!!" sagot ng mga bata.
"And also I want to give something special to my beautiful Mrs. Claus. Ho-Ho-Ho!"
Ako lang ba? Or parang nakatingin si Santa sakin.
"Let me show you my Mrs. Claus... I mean soon to be Mrs Claus."
Nagpakita si Santa ng video ng pictures... Pictures ko?! O___O Stalker ko si Santa!!!
Habang nagple-play ang video, Kinanta ni Santa ang song na kinakanta lagi sakin ni Lex: Ang Out of my League by Stephen Sparks.
Sinundo ako ng mga bata na nakasuot ng elves papunta sa stage.
Paglapit ko kay Santa... Napansin ko na si Lex pala si Santa. Sympre tawang-tawa ako! Hindi bagay sa kanya eh!
After the song, he knelt down before me tapos nilabas niya ang isang red na box. Naluha ako bigla. Nakakasilaw ang bato ni Darna!
"Zarinah Santiago, will you be my Mrs Zarinah Claus?" sabi ni Santa Lex
Sa sobrang tuwa ko... I leapt for joy and i kept on squealling 'Yes!'
Dahan-dahan isinuot ni Lex and singsing sa aking daliri. Nagsipalak-pakan ang mga tao. Sa sobrang tuwa, hindi namin napigilan ang pagkiss namin sa isa't-isa. Sorry sila masaya kami!
"I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus!" kanta ni Zander with his classmates.
"Loko talaga ang baby natin." bulong sakin ni Lex
"Nagmana sa'yo.. Loko-loko ka eh!"
"I love you." bulong niya sabay kiss sa cheeks ko
"I love you too Lex." I pressed my lips to him.
