Chapter XXXVIII Part I♕:

      ANY MINUTE now tatawagin na ang aming flight. Nakaupo lang ako dito habang naghihintay. Naisip ko, hindi man lang ako dinalaw ni Nanna sa bahay. Pumatak naman ang aking luha, mabilis ko itong pinunasan.

“ Calling all passengers bound to Spain, flight NG0713, you may now check in and kindly proceed to your boarding gate. The plane will depart in thirty minutes”. I hear the announcement. I carry my luggage. Papasok na sana ako sa loob ng eroplano when my eyes caught someone. Someone that is very close in my heart. Hindi ako makapaniwala, namamalik mata lang yata ako.

Nakayuko siya habang naglalakad, my heart beat so fast. Tiningnan ko pang siya without blinking. Hindi ko inaasahan habang nakayuko unti-unti siyang tumingin sa aking kinaroroonan. Our eyes met. Katulad ko halatang nagulat din siya. I really can’t believe it.

My eyes started to watered when he smile at me so genuinely and then walk towards me without breaking our eye contact. He dropped his luggage and then hug me tight that makes me sob.

“I’m sorry, My Queen!” his voice crack nagpapahiwatig na umiiyak na siya.

“T-hat’s okay. N-aiintindihan k-ko.” nauutal na sabi ko. I hug him back as if I didn’t let him go.

“Thanks to Dad!” masayang sabi niya. Kumalas na kami sa pagakayakap sa isa’t-isa and then he cupped my both cheeks and then he gently kissed my nose, cheeks, lips and then my forehead. That makes my tears drop again. He wiped it with his own hand.

He hold my hand and then smile at me. “Let’s go to Spain?” tanong niya sa akin. Tumango lang ako sa kanya. He kissed my hand once again and then together we go inside the plane.

“Siento, Mi Reina. Really am.” sabi niya sa akin habang hawak pa rin ang aking kamay ng sobrang higpit. “Hindi kita pinuntahan sa inyo dahil hindi ako pinalabas ni Mommy at Daddy, dahil sa kagaguhan ko!” sabi pa niya.

“Mabuti nga sa’yo!” sabi ko naman sa kanya at inirapan siya. Mahina lang siyang tumawa. I lean my head on his shoulder that makes me more comfortable.

“Let me explain first, Mi Reina, can I?” mahinahon na sabi niya sa akin. Mahina lang akong tumango sa kanya and I carefully listen to him. “My Queen, that time hindi ko alam ang aking gagawin. Iniisip ko paano kung mawawala ka sa akin, ano ang gagawin ko? Hindi ko alam kong paano pa ako babangon na hindi kita kasama? Hindi ko alam kung paano harapin ang mga tao na hindi nila tinatanong ang pangalan mo? Hindi ko alam kong paano ko haharapin ang mga pagsubok kapag wala kana? Kaya ‘yon na lang ang naisip ko.” he sincerely told me. My eyes started to heat and then tears started to fall down. I didn’t bother to wiped it out. But suddenly, I feel his fingers wiping my tears. “I’m not finished yet, don’t cry, My Queen!” kaya tumango lang ako sa kanya. “I continue to ask my self, paano na ako kapag wala ka? Paano na lahat ng pangarap ko na hindi kakasama? P-paano na ako?” pagpapatuloy niya but he crack his voice. Tiningnan ko siya and then I see him crying. I raised my hand and wiped his tears. “Ngayon kapag iiyak ako may papahid pa kaya ng mga luha ko? Katulad mo?” tanong niya sa akin.

I tired to make me self strong by breath deeply. “M-mahal n-na H-hari” I crack my voice but still I continue. “I am telling you this, you must listen to me. If I am gone, try to find another woman for you, and think that maybe we are not meant for each other. It’s GOD way to make us remember that sometime we meet the amazing persons, but that person will never be ours forever.” sabi ko sa kanya pero umiling-iling lang siya. Napapikit ako ng aking mga mata ng makita ko ang pagpatak ng kanyang mga luha.

“No. We are meant to be, My Queen. You and Me will be forever.” sagot niya sa akin.

“Mahal na Hari, listen carefully. 'Wag matigas ang ulo. One of these days I will tell you to let me go, and please let me go after I told you. Is that clear? Always think that when you meet someone that’s not for you, GOD is preparing a better one.” paliwanang ko sa kanya. Pero umiling pa rin siya.
