(Magnus Haven #1) Fighting For His Name (COMPLETED)

Chapter 49

When we broke our kiss, agad kaming dinaluhan ng lahat. They are all hugging us and screaming at the top of their lungs. Nang kumalas sila ay isa-isa ko silang niyakap. Mula sa banda at sa mga kasamahan ko lagi at kina direk.

My eyes became more watery as direk, Ms. Aileen and Kuya Rem greeted me congratulations. I asked them if what Rey did was okay and they said it is really fine. "Matagal na naming nakikitang malungkot ang bata na 'yan, ngayon masaya na siya, pipigilan pa ba namin?"

All I ever did that day is to cry and process that I'll be his wife soon.

Pagkabalik sa Pilipinas, Rey couldn't let go of me. Hinarap ko siya at pinagsalikop pareho ang kamay naming dalawa. He's staring at me with that innocent eyes and I can't help but to giggle because it's making my knees tremble.

"We'll see each other tomorrow. We've been together for almost a month, that one day won't kill you.." Bulong ko sa kaniya. Ngumiti lang siya sa akin at kinuha ang kamay ko.

He kissed the ring he gave me. It doesn't have a big stone or diamond but the assurance of having him in me forever is more enough for me. He apologized last night for that but I told him that it's okay for me. May singsing man o wala, I'm ready to marry him.

"Sinabi ko na kay ate ito kagabi. And they are happy with it." Lumukso ang puso ko sa narinig. Nanlaki ang mata ko. "Gusto ka na rin makita ni mama at papa, you'll visit them, right?"

Tumango ako. "Oo naman."

We fell silent after that. "'Di ba nasabi ko sa iyo noon na nagkausap kami ni mommy?" He gently nod his head. "And she said that dad will arrange a dinner with me, to reconcile everything.."

"Okay.."

"If that happens later or tomorrow, I'll tell it to him.." Sandaling dumaan sa mata niya ang sakit. "And if he didn't let me do this, then I have no choice but to completely ignore him for the rest of my life."

The wind of Philippines blew my hair. He tucked it behind me. "Khloe, huwag ganoon.."

Mariin kong iniling ang ulo. "My mom wil surely accept this, Rey. And you want assurance from me, right? This is the only way for me to give you assurance that I'll marry you no matter what."

He went silent, again. I tried pinching his hand. I know he doesn't agree to what I'm planning but it's just a guess for me. There will be two choices for daddy, it's either he'll accept his daughter will be married soon or not.

Siguro nga mabilis pa ang lahat. Pero bakit pa patatagalin kung nandito na? Ayoko siyang makita sa iba. Ayaw niya akong makitang hawak ng iba. Isn't that enough reason for us to do this? Tutal matanda na kaming dalawa?

"Galit ka?" Tanong ko. Nag-iwas siya ng tingin sa akin. Napakagat ako ng labi. "Promise, I'll do my best to get his blessing for us. Okay?"

It's enough for him to calm down. He just kissed me in my forehead and murmured he loves me so much. I did the same thing before watching their van drove away.

Ako: Good Morning/Evening, I have a news for you! Please text back if you're not busy! Tell Reese that Japan is really a good vacation place to go :)

Matapos kong isend iyon ay mabilis akong bumaba. Hawak ko ang daliri ko na may singsing at hinanap si mommy. But she's nowhere to be found from our house. It's already night and the silence of the house is creepy for me.

After airport, umuwi na kaming lahat at nagpahinga. Rey told me in a text that he wanted us to talk but he's sleepy so bukas nalang daw kami mag-usap. Ganoon din naman ang ginawa ko, pagkarating ko sa bahay kaninang tanghali ay umakyat na ako para magbihis at magpahinga.
