Great Love, waits!

OUR First Christmas

A week passed at bukas pasko na. Sinusuyo ko pa rin si Sarah. Kung dati I always send her flowers, ngayon, ako na mismo ang nagdadala sa kanya. Sa work man o sa bahay nila. I decided to spend my Christmas with her family.

Hangang ngayon kasi parang distant pa rin siya sakin. Nabawasan na yung sweetness. Well, I deserve this. Kasalanan ko naman talaga.

Kaya dapat lang bumawi ako sa kanya. Napangiti ako nang makita ko sa Passenger seat ang Christmas gift ko kay Sarah. I know, she'll like this.

Its a Louis Vuitton Tambour Monogram 33mm. Black strap, polished ssteel encases with eight diamonds studding its dial.

I know, mahilig rin siya sa ganitong klaseng wristwatch.

I was standing infront of their house, napindot ko na rin yung doorbell nila when my fone rings. Its Mom.

"Hey, Mom."

Anak, nasaan ka na?

"Dito na ko kina Sarah, Ma."

Ganon ba? Ikaw talaga. Iniwan mo yung gifts namin fot her.

"Oo nga pala. I'm sorry, Ma."

Its okay.

I was still talking to my Mom when the gate opens.

"Sir John Lloyd, pasok po.", its Ate Maya.

"Thanks, Maya.", then I walked inside their house.

Siga na, anak. Kiss Sarah for me, okay?

"Yes, Ma. Bye."

Saktong pagbaba ko ng tawag, I saw my Sarah na naglalakad galing sa kitchen.

"Aga mo naman.", she said.

I kissed her on the cheek.

"Na-miss kita e. And baka lang makatulong ako for the preparations para mamaya."

Tumango lang siya saka ngumiti.

Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako. Hindi pa rin niya talaga ako napapatawad.

She was about to turn her back when I hold her hand.

"Honey?"

She looked at me. "Bakit?"

"Hindi mo naman ako iiwan di ba?", I asked her.

Naghintay ako ng sagot, pero parang wala, kaya binitawan ko na kamay niya saka ako tumungo.

Nagulat na lang ako when she kissed me on my cheek.

This time, nagsalita na siya.

"I love you. Leaving you was never an option for me. But please, hayaan mong maging ganito muna ako. I need this. Okay?", she said as she taps my shoulder.

I smiled at her. "Okay. I love you more."

She smiles and turn her back.

"Yan na ba yun?"

I saw her talking to Ate Maya.

"Opo, Mam."

"Okay. Thank you."
