LONG CHAPTER AHEAD.

--

"What the hell.."

Nag lakad ako pabalik sa aking tatay na nanatili lamang doon sa pinag iwanan ko sa kaniya kanina. Ngayon ko na lamang ulit naalala ang obra na pinatago ko kay Arthale, ngunit mamaya ko na lamang aasikasuhin iyon dahil gulong gulo parin ako hanggang ngayon.

"There's one more." Ani Daddy. He reached out for my hand and pulled me behind the wall of the last painting. behind the curtains was utter darkness. is this the back stage or something? this part doesn't have glass walls and it didn't have any lights either so my sight had to adjust for a few seconds.

"It's dark, dad." bulong ko at mas hinigpitan ang pagkakahawak ko sa aking ama. Mahirap na, wala akong makita mamaya bigla akong dukutin dito.

nag lakad pa kami sa looban, i almost jumped back when a light ommitted behind us. Sabay kaming napalingon.  There was another painting on the wall, napapalibutan ito ng dimmed fairy lights. binitawan ko ang kamay ng aking ama at dahan dahang lumapit sa huling obra, i suddenly felt emotional.

it's been years since i last saw this painting. The flowers of Sirao, The blue sky of Cebu, And the shining smile i made during that time.

The genuineness was still there, as if it'll never fade. The most beautiful smile i ever saw for my self.

I suddenly heard strums of guitar behind me. Naluluha na ang mata ko nang dahan dahan kong nilingon iyon, only to find my family, friends and the others i am acquinted with surrounding me. Nakabukas na ang ilaw, i could see emotions in all of their faces. Dad was beside Mom and Seclisse now, Arthale was the one strumming.

petals of roses were scattered on the ground, red and pink balloons floating on the ceiling. In the middle of the room, stood a man. The love of my life.

nanginginig ang tuhod ko, my lips were twitching and my hands were sweating. I clearly know what's about to happen but my mind is just all over the place to even comprehend it properly.

"Galaw galaw naman madam!" Sigaw ni Arthale mula sa malayo, patuloy parin ang pag tugtog sa kaniyang gitara. Nag sitawanan naman silang lahat, nilingon ko muna ang lahat ng tao sa paligid ko.

Si Amber na nasa tabi ni Arthale, si Ate Arythe, sila Neobe at ang iba pang parte ng enderun council noon, sila mommy, even mamang at papang were present! Ashton was also there, even their youngest. Frion Aether was as tall as them now, i froze when i saw Mr. and Mrs. Laurence, they were smiling warmly at me making me calm down a little bit.

Lastly, i looked back at the man still standing in the middle. His arms were crossed and his head is tilted to the side, probably waiting for me to catch on everything that is happening.

"Madam matatapos na yung kanta, lumapit ka na." pag eepal nanaman ni Art. Pasiring ko siyang tinignan at natawa kaming dalawa. I looked at Dice again, taking little steps towards him.

"What's all these?" I muttered, when i got close to him. I couldn't hide my grin now, i was just too happy!

"My love." Ngumiwi ako sa sinagot niya at natatawang hinampas ang kaniyang braso. Nakuha pang mag biro ng mokong na to, gulong gulo na nga ako.

"Isn't it your dream to be just like one of those princesses you see in books and movies?" Tanong niya, stepping back a bit. My eyes widened when he knelt on one knee! Napatakip ako sa bibig ko dahil sa gulat. hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko, kung luluhod din ba ko o ano!
