Moonlight From Above

CHAPTER 38

I woke up after the feeling of someone kissing my forehead and the moment I opened my eyes I saw Hollace smiling. I caressed his cheeks to know if he's real and I slapped him so hard making him take a stepback.

"What the-"

He stopped what he was about to say when I jumped right infront of him and hugged him while he's carrying me.

"Tangina ka, nag-alala ako sayo." I said while crying and when I faced him my brows furrowed after seeing a non-woven bandage at his forehead. "What happened to your forehead?"

"Just an accident, babe. It doesn't matter." He smiled and he nuzzled his nose to mine and smiled. "Nag-alala ka ba, babe?"

"Sobra." I said and I can't stop myself from crying while caressing his cheeks. "Akala ko kung ano na nangyari sa'yo Hollace."

"Pwede ba 'yon? Hindi pa nga kita napapakasalan, hindi pa tayo nagkaka-apo, tsaka hindi kita iiwan. Kahit maputi na buhok natin."

"Hollace."

"Hmm?" He said as he buried his face to my neck.

"Baka nakakalimutan mo blonde buhok mo."

"Pag blonde hindi na puputi?" He asked and chuckled. "Pumuputi kaya buhok ng blonde, nauunahan pa nga kayong may dark hair eh."

His brows furrowed after I hugged him tighter and he also gave me a hug.

"Nag-alala talaga ako sayo epal ka."

"Umiiyak ka pa 'rin? Babe, stop crying, you know I hate it whenever you cry." He made me lie on the bed while he's on top of me and wiping off my tears. "Damn, I can't believe that tomorrow will be our wedding."

"So do I, Mr. Montemayor."

"It's twelve AM, babe. Matulog ka pa." He smiled at me and he lie beside me giving me a hug.

"What happened to your forehead? Anong accident?"

"Car, babe but it's already okay now." He said and that moment because of the his hug assuring me that everything will be okay now I felt asleep.

I smiled at my bestfriend's tombstone before I sat infront on the bermuda grass while holding the paper for my vow for Hollace. I can't help but to imagine Caleb being with us, taking care of his son.

"Sana katabi ka namin ngayon." I said and smiled and I can't stop tears falling down from my eyes. "Caleb, dapat Ninong at Ninang tayo ng mga magiging anak natin eh ang daya mo naman."

I wiped off my tears trying to make a small smile.

"Ilang taon na lumipas pero hindi ko pa 'rin tanggap eh." I closed my eyes and faced the sky. "We'll always wave on the clouds for you, Caleb."

I opened the paper where I wrote my vow for Hollace and I can't help but to smile the moment I looked at it.

"I, Margareth Gui Ferdinand, is now accepting my faith as forever to be with you my Hollace Tan Montemayor." I smiled at him as if i'm looking at something amazing, something that i'm sure i'll be cherishing for my whole life. He's the best thing that ever happened and I don't know how i'll be able to breathe without him breathing the same air with me.

I don't know how i'll be able to look at the Moon without even thinking of him, I don't know how i'll be able to live without my moonlight beside me.

"Just like the moon, we'll go through lots of phases to fulfill the emptiness, to be once full again." I smiled as I stared at his eyes while I can't stop but to cry because of the happiness i'm feeling right now. "Those years were like me building a puzzle and I can't find the last piece. Even how many times I tried, I still can't find it. Until I found you in the place where I left you and it made me realize that the last piece were always waiting for me even though how many times I disappointed and left him, you were the moonlight we're both talking about."
