Mafia Boss 3: My Bodyguard

Chapter 40

I woke up the next morning with the man I love beside me. I smiled.

He's sleeping still. His arms were wrapped around me like he doesn't want me to go. I have again the time to memorize everything on his face. Kahit na araw-araw ko siyang nakikita for two months hindi pa rin ako magsasawang tignan siya ng ganito.

I brushed his face with the back of my hand gently. He flinched a bit. I smiled. He looks like a baby, but monster in bed.

I bit my lip upon remembering what we did. I love everything what happened last night. No regrets. Never.

Napasinghap ako nang mapatingin ako sa isang bagay. I got teary eyed all of a sudden at napahawak pa ako sa bibig ko.

"Oh my god..." I whispered. Tinitigan kong mabuti and blinked my eyes twice to make sure that I'm really seeing what I'm seeing right now.

A diamond ring on my ring finger.

"I'll get you a ring bukas na bukas."

H-how did he... When did he...

"Mi amor, you will marry me. Wala ng bawian."

That wasn't a question.

Tumingin ako sa kanya na kanina pa pala siya nakatitig sa akin.

"Good morning." He greeted and kissed my forehead, nose and lastly my lips.

"Saan ka kumuha ng singsing?" I asked.

"Ninakaw ko sa tabi." Walang kwenta niyang sagot.

Hahampasin ko na sana siya but he caught my hand and kissed the back of it.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

"How?"

"Kulit. Kaninang 5 AM, I went out to buy a ring for you."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Seryoso nga siyang papakasalan niya ako.

"May bukas ng store?"

"Wala pa pero para sayo gagawin ko ang lahat."

"I was just kidding. Eh ano ngayon kung walang singsing?"

"Eh ngayon meron na."

"Totoo nga Ozi? You're gonna marry me?"

Pinitik niya ako sa noo. "I want you. I need you. I love you. Ikaw lang ang gusto kong makasama habang buhay."

"Totoo?" I asked again like a fool. I once again looked at the ring. "This is so beautiful." Mahinang sabi ko.

"Ayaw na kitang mawala sa buhay ko Amira Sayanarah Suarez. I love how you talk too much, I love how loud you are, kahit nagsusungit ka, nagtataray, mapanakit I still like it. I love everything about you. See? I'm head over heals. Marinig ko lang boses mo kompleto na araw ko. Makita lang kita sobrang saya ko na. I don't wanna lose you amymore. Kaya papakasalan mo na ako pagkatapos ng lahat, parang awa mo na. Hmm?"

I laughed and at the same time sobbing. My heart hurts in a good way. Hindi ako makahinga sa saya.

Literal.

"O-ozi I can't breathe. D-damn you!" I said while catching my breath. Asthma. Ina-asthma ako!

"Oh shit!"

Napatayo siya agad. At mas lalo akong hindi makahinga when I saw his damn huge thing na buhay na buhay. Damn it!

Lumapit siya sa akin at pinaupo. Clutching the freaking comforter to cover my nakedness. Samantalang siya, dahil sa pagpapanic, proud pang tumayo sa harap ko kasama ang nakatayo niyang alaga.
