She's With Me

CHAPTER 29

BLUE'S POV

Today is one of the happiest day of my life. Nagbitaw kami ni Red saka ko pinunasan ang luha sa kanyang pisngi.

"Wag ka na umiyak misis ko." Sabi ko sa kanya.

Tumawa sya, "You surprised me, how can't I?"

Nangiti ako ng husto. Kabadong kabado ako noong una pero sobra naman yung sayang nararamdaman ko ngayon.

"No one can separate us..."

Biglang nagliwanag ang buong bar at saka tumambad sa amin ang isang scale model at sa likod nito ay ang mga tracing papers na nakakapit sa board.

Napasinghap si Red samantalang ako ay napangiti ng husto.

"B-blue...."

Hinawakan ko ang kamay nya, "Come...look closer.."

Hinila ko sya at doon ay sinuri nya ang scale model at tracing papers.

Isa itong plano ng bahay, bahay na ipapatayo namin once na maikasal na kami. And that wedding will be very soon.

Tinapatan ako ni Red at muling niyakap,

"You don't how much you made me happy Blue.." aniya.

Ngumiti ako, "I'm more happy when I made you happy babe."

It's a double celebration, pahapyaw lang yung kaninang umaga. Nagsibabaan na yung mga bisita saka sa pangalawang pagkakataon ay ni-congrats kami.

Lumapit sa akin si Daddy saka ni-tapped ang balikat ko.

"You're doing the right thing son." Aniya.

"Thanks for your support Dad."

Ngumiti si Daddy, "Your Mom, she's just like her." sabi ni Daddy saka. Itinuro si Red habang masayang nakikipag kwentuhan kina Mommy sa lamesa.

Napangiti ako sa sinabi ni Dad, "They're our gems."

Bumaling sa akin si Daddy, saka muling hinawakan ang aking balikat.

"Son, we haven't tell you this before. You know what, when I met your Mom, she was really afraid of everything too. She's in severe trauma and it was so hard for me to see her that way before." Sabi ni Daddy.

Napakunot ang noo ko. Mom's in trauma?

"What do you mean Dad?"

"When we were teens, your Mom got raped by a random man at streets. It was really horrible and I know how you felt when it happened to her too. Kaya to see you both this way, I can't be more proud. Napalaki ka namin ng ayos." sabi ni Daddy.

I was shocked. I didn't know that.

"M-Mom was a victim---"

"No son. Your Mom and Red, they're survivors." sabi ni Daddy.

Napatingin ako sa gawi ni Mommy at Red habang tumatawa. Biglang may kumurot sa puso ko, those smiles that we once thought will never appear on their faces, we're seeing it now.

Tinapik ko ang balikat ni Daddy," I'm proud of you too Dad."

Sandali pa kaming nag usap ni Daddy bago ako nagpunta sa gawi ni Mommy at walang sabi-sabi syang niyakap.

Natigil sa pag uusap ang mga babae at batid kong nabigla sa kinikilos ko.

"B-Blue... Iho, what's happening?" nagugulat nyang tanong.
