Destined To Love Her Times Three: MiChaeng part 18

~

Mina: Chae….nice to meet you again…I’m Mina Sharon Montelucas Myoui..

Balik tigil ang pagtibok ng puso ni Chae. Parang mayroong kung anong salita ang bumara sa lalamunan niya. Ang kanyang mga mata'y may paghanga at hindi makapaniwala.

Mina's tears gleaming, and he's overwhelmed. Narito lang pala ang taong matagal na niyang hinihintay. Ang babaeng pinangakuan niyang pakasalan. Ang babaeng nanggulo ng kanyang isipan at muntik ng ipagpalit sa batang Sharon.

He's been confused for a month, and now, it's clear. He can see her. At last.

Chae: S-sharon? Yung b-batang...?

Mina just smiled as an answer. Their hands are still clasped together. Napupuno na ang mata ni Mina ng luha ngunit hindi pa rin ito tumutulo. Those diamond tears wanted to hide her overjoy. Maski ang luha nito'y mapagtago.

Overjoy can caused a death.

Mina: I am that Sharon. I left you without farewell. I never forget about you..I am your shadow.
Chae: H-ha?
Mina: I am the one behind your first ever job. I know you always wanted to be an investigator/ agent...I recommended your name to that company. But you resigned.

Napanganga siya sa sinabi nito. Gaya ng sabi ni Mina, may isa pang kumpanya ang tumawag sa kanya para magtrabaho sa kanila, pero hindi niya alam na siya ang nasa likod noon. Hindi makapaniwalang tiningnan niya ito.

Chae: B-bakit mo ginawa yun?
Mina: (smile) I told you, I never forget about you. Gusto kong makitang successful ka. Na kahit sa ating dalawa, ikaw ang masaya. But you resigned. I fired the handler there because you left.
Chae: Ano!?
Mina: He promised me your job security. But he failed.
Chae: Dinala mo rin ba siya sa hell prison a sinasabi mo?

Nagulat siya sa sinabi nito. Naalala niya yung sinabi niya kanina. She thought its not important, but he remembered. Umiling si Mina bilang sagot.

Mina: I don't do that to Filipinos.
Chae: Buti naman, wooh.
Mina: But he did a hard labour.
Chae: Ha!?
Mina: But he never died. He survived. I can see him until these days.
Chae: Napakabait niyang tao.
Mina: But he's a failure.
Chae: You should give him a chance. Hindi naman lahat ng tao nagiging perpekto sa unang pagkakataon.
Mina: I don't do second chances.
Chae: What if I fail?
Mina: You will not fail.
Chae: Paano ka nakakasigurado?
Mina: Kasi, sa ating dalawa, ako ang magkakamali.

Then there, Mina's jewel tears fell. Iniisip niya palang na aalis na siya dalawang buwan nalang ang lilipas, kumikirot ang puso niya.

Chae: bakit?
Mina: Because I...I don't do relationships, I don't know how relationship works. I only learn how to use gun, self-defense and business things, but never to love.
Chae: I can teach you with that.
Mina: I know you will. And I bet, you're an amazing teacher.

Mahinang natawa si Chae. He looked at Mina and wiped her tears. His heart is at peace, parang wala ng bumabagabag sa kanya.

Chae: Alam kong maganda ka parin kahit umiiyak, pero ayokong nakikita kang ganyan. I always want to see your gummy smile.
Mina: Bolero.
Chae: Hindi ako bolero. Gwapo lang.
Mina: Che!
Chae: Pero ayoko ng makita kang lumalapit sa ibang lalaki, lalo na sa may edad. How can you flirt an aged man?
Mina: I can pretend I'm not disgusted. I'm a pro, Chae.
Chae: Really? But...
Mina: But, what?
Chae: I don't want you to pretend anymore.
Mina: Ha?
Chae: Can't you just live a simple life with me?
Mina: H-ha?

It is an invitation..but will she accept it? How?

Chae: Alam kong may responsibilidad ka sa magulang mo, pero wag mo sanang pahirapan sarili mo. Be happy. You deserve that.
