You for All Lifetimes (Ferrer Series #2)

Wakas

You are at the Epilogue! Maraming salamat sa pagsubaybay sa pangalawang beses kong pagsubok sa series na 'to. Super fulfilling na may ma-complete na naman ako na story! Sana nagustuhan ninyo ang kabuuan nito, pati na rin ang mga minamahal kong sina Shan at Serene. 'Til my next story!

Wakas

"Tss, why did you have to reply? You should have just ignored it," pasaring kong sagot habang nakaakbay ako sa kanya ngayong nakaupo kami rito sa sofa ng bahay ng aking mga magulang.

"What do you mean ignore? Of course, I couldn't!" she hissed back, slightly hitting my thigh where her hand is on. "I was pissed! Kasabay pa noon iyong balita tungkol sa'yo sa Singapore. Tapos matatanggap ko iyon? Sasabihin single na pala ako, tapos gusto niya ako i-date?"

Lalong sumama ang tingin ko sa kawalan habang marahang hinihimas ang braso niyang abot ng kamay ko.

Napag-usapan namin iyong natanggap niyang sulat mula sa Samuel na 'yon. Ang lakas ng loob no'n, ah? Nagbabasa rin ba iyon ng buong article? Saan naman niya nakuhang single na si Serene? Tss.

"I would have even ripped it to pieces if I was in the right state of mind!" she lazily drawled before leaning her head on my chest.

"Oh! So, you're not in the right state of mind while replying to his letter? Is that what you're saying?" I sarcastically replied to her reason.

Matalim niya akong tinignan nang tumingala siya sa'kin. Nagtaas lang ako ng kilay sa kanya. What are you looking at, you cruel woman?

"Why are you even jealous? We're engaged already! Ilang araw na lang ay ikakasal na tayo!" umikot ang mga mata niya sa'kin bago marahang kinurot ang sikmura ko.

"Of course, I couldn't help it! Someone tried to hit on my girl while I was away! Isn't that enough reason to be jealous? I am jealous!" I exclaimed before rolling my eyes at her. "He still have the guts to reply to you as if our engagement haven't reached the news, Serene!"

Lalong kumunot ang noo ko sa kanya nang ngisian niya ako. "Anong nakakatawa?"

"Ikaw kasi! May pakulo ka pang iiwan-iwan mo ako! Magpapa-miss sa'kin! Ayan tuloy!" then, she bursted into laughter.

Ms. Buenaventura,

I am fluttered that you have taken effort to reply on my letter personally. However, though I have heard the news about your engagement with Mr. Ferrer, I am very much willing to accompany you whenever you are in need of companionship.

Congratulations on your engagement!

Yours truly,

Then, signed by that bastard. Really? Willing to accompany my fiancé when in need of companionship? The nerve of this man!

Lalo siyang humalakhak sa'kin nang makitang halos umusok na ang ilong ko sa iritasyon nang basahin naming muli ang hard copy ng letter ng Samuel na 'yon.

"He's funny, though," she commented, grinning at the letter as she folded it again, and putting it on top of the coffee table in front of us.

"He is not!" I growled, making her grin more at me. "Kung hindi lang siya pinsan ng asawa ng kapatid ko, pinisat ko na 'yang unggoy na 'yan!"

Lalong humagalpak si Serene sa tawa. "Oh, you brute! Stop it!"

Napalingon kaming parehas nang marinig ang mga yabag sa hagdan, at nakitang ang mga magulang ko iyon. Mabilis na tumayo si Serene para siguro sumalubong. She was lightly tugging on my arm, motioning me to stand up, as well.
