Marry Me

ADULTS

Regine's POV

"M-marry me, Rex."

"I-I can't, I'm sorry." mabilis na nangilid ang mga luha ko nang marinig ang sagot niya.

Alam ko nang ganito ang isasagot niya, pero nagbakasakali parin ako.

Kaagad kong inilabas ang singsing na binili ko pa.

"B-baby, sayang naman tong singsing na binili ko oh? Kaya please? P-please...R-rex, baby, marry me." Nagmamakaawa at desperadang sabi ko sa kaniya.

Umiling siya.

He held my hands and utteres.

"I-Im so...sorry f-for making you c-cry, b-but Baby, I cant. B-baby, I-Im dying" with that, napahagulhol na ako ng sobra.

God knows how I tried to stop my overflowing emotions and tears but I'm too tired.

May cancer si Rex and he's terminally ill. May taning na ang buhay niya, but I still want to mary this freakin' Man!

'Bakit ba...bakit ba ayaw niya?'

"You promised that you'll marry me, Rex. You said that we're going to achive o-our dreams...together" I stopped and clenched my fist. Nahihirapan na akong huminga.

Sobrang sakit.

"Pero hindi na natin maggagawa yun. The least thing that can we do is to get married. I really love you, Rex. Nakikiusap ako. Marry me."

"B-baby..." pilit niyang iniabot ang mukha ko kaya ako na mismo ang humawak sa kamay niya at inilagay iyon sa pisngi ko.

Hinaplos niya ang mukha ko na para bang eto na ang pinakamagandang bagay na nahawakan niya. He carressed my face and smiled at me sweetly.

'He's getting weak but still managed to smile.'

Oh God, I am so in love with this Man. Please, Papa God, wag niyo naman po siyang kunin sakin?

"I-I cant...B-baby sorry. Go and m-marry someone e-else. Who'll t-treasure you...l-like...I d-did. A-and...w-who'll love y-you...more than I-I did."

And so it goes, as he wished, I continued my life without him.
