Kismet's Cultivation [Metanoia Series 1]

Kismet 39 🌱

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. My lips quivered as I tried to keep my cheeks dry but my tears were unstoppable.

"We don't need to marry yet. I take it even if it'll take years, but I just need this guaranteed. I don't want to lose you ever again, and this isn't supposed this early, but I couldn't let any chance to take you away from me. So, please... promise to marry me someday?"

I bit my lip to stop it from trembling. I wiped my tears and laughed a little because I felt like stupid. Crying and smiling at the same time. I stepped forward to Zaffron and looked down to him, still on his knees. I cupped his face, didn't embarrassed that we were making a scene in this huge public place.

"I promise," I answered softly to him while caressing his face. I watched his nervous face lit up, a smile stretched to his lips. I saw his eyes glistening with unshed tears as I watched him slid to my finger my now favorite jewelry.

He stood up and hugged me tightly, making me shed more tears. "How will I leave if you're doing this?" I cried to him. He hushed me down while I felt him planting kisses at the side of my head.

Then I heard applause around us and realized, they witnessed everything that happened. I felt my cheeks heated and all I just want to do is to hide but there's no place better than his arms. 'Yung hiya kong nagtago kanina ay nagpakita na ulit.

"Come back safely to me, okay?"

I nodded then after few more moments, his arms slowly detached from me. I wanted to react against it, but I know that no matter how much we wanted to stay close together that time, we also know that I need to go.

I heard some stranger greeting us and it only made us smile.

Iniabot sa akin ni Zaffron ang hawakan ng luggage ko. Ginawaran niya ako ng huling halik kaya naman nakarinig ako ulit ng mga palakpak sa paligid. Marahil, pulang-pula na ang mukha ko. Pero kahit ganoon, ang puso ko, walang mapaglagyan ng nag-uumapaw na galak.

"Let me know if you landed safe," he said and with that, I proceeded to my flight.

All my time while in the plane, I was smiling widely while touching my ring.

Kahit kakasakay ko pa lang ng eroplano paalis ng bansa, ang isip ko, nasa eroplano na pabalik. Excited sa muli kong pagbalik roon. Pero sa ngayon, kailangan ko munang mag-focus sa iba pang aspeto ng buhay ko na gusto kong mas palawakin.

Brandon was waiting for me on the airport with a tall man beside him. By the way his arms were clinging to him, I already know who it was.

Brandon winked at me when he saw where my eyes drifted. I smiled and went near them. Binigyan niya ako beso pagkatapos ay ipinakilala sa boyfriend niya.

We rode a car to our inn and there, I met the whole crew. It's like a simple house with the basic part of a house and four bedrooms. The decorations weren't that fancy but photos posted on the wall gave life in it.

Together with other photographers, we bond a little so we will be comfortable tomorrow when we started to work. I interact with them even though I was embarrassed knowing that I'm not really part of it. Brandon just invited me and now, they carry all my expenses. Somehow, I am pressure to do good so it will be worth it on their part.

I ended on my bed early than I expected. Hindi rin naman kasi ako masyadong nakapagpahinga simula nang dumating ako. Parang ngayon ko alng naramdaman ang jetlag.

Nakapikit na ako nang maalala si Zaffron.

With my heavy body, I reached to the side table and took my phone. I went to my instagram and type his handle and saw some good morning messages from him that I didn't know existed before. I sighed. If only I read messages to my account, I would've reached him sooner.
