Epilogue

"What do you do, hijo?" Her mother asked politely.

After a week in Columbia we fled back here in the Philippines. Dad will follow soon. Nagkaroon ng emergency sa HQ, kaya imbes na sumama siya sa amin ay susunod na lang siya.

Sunny's Mom fetched us. She's a show off type. Nakahelera agad ang iilang convoy sa likod namin.
Sunny already told me not to tell to her parents what I really do, and so what my Dad do for a living. Hindi raw nila maiintindihan ito. I'm easy anyway... Whatever makes her happy I am happy too.

I cleared my throat. "Ahm, I'm a retired army, Madam."

Her facial expression changed like she dropped something out from her mouth. Agad lang siyang napatingin kay Sunny na abala sa ginagawa ngayon. She's standing in the corner together with the wedding organizer. Trying to choose a bridal dress.

Nasa bahay kami nila ngayon, sa labas ng harden nila, at may dalawang wedding organiser na nandito. Abala ang lahat at nag hired ang Mommy niya ng catering service.

I think some people will be here for the announcement. When we were in Columbia she already told her mother that we will get married as soon as we arrived here. Hindi ko naman inakala na ganito ka bilis ang ina niya pagdating sa ganitong bagay.

I am still planning for my proposal. I don't know how to do it. Wala akong alam pagdating sa mga bagay na gusto ng mga babae, kaya nalilito pa ako ngayon. I have bought a ring back in Italy. Hindi ko pa lang naibigay sa kanya. Clyde and Charles will be here soon too.

"Oh my! You're in the Army? Ilang taon ka na hijo?"

"33 soon 34..." I quickly lifted my brow.

In two months is my birthday. Gusto ko sanang maikasal na kami ni Sunny bago paman iyon.

"Well, that's a good age for a man. So what do you do now, son?" Sa tipid na ngiti ng Ina niya.

"Mom!" Singit ni Sunny sa usapan naming dalawa.

She then wrapped her arms around me and kissed my cheek. I fully wrapped my arms around her too. Tinitigan ko na siya ng maigi at bakas sa mga mata niya ang kinang at saya. Hindi pa alam ng mga magulang niya na buntis na kami. She did not have the symptoms after the episodes in Columbia. Maliban nga lang sa iilang pagkain na gusto niya ay wala na.

"Nakapili ka na ba ng damit?" Ang Mommy niya sa kanya.

"Oo, iyong simple lang," she smiled wickedly.

"Alin ba?"

Tumayo na ang Ina niya at tinawag ang wedding organiser. Lumapit ito at pinakita ang nagustuhang desenyo ni Sunny. Her jaw dropped and looked back at her back and forth. She laughs a bit and darted her stare at me.

"Why?"

Tingala akong tinitigan siya. Nakaupo kasi ako, kaya umupo na siya sa kandungan ko. Naglalambing ang yakap niya sa akin na parang bata na may gusto. Umalis na ang wedding organiser at naupong pabalik ang Ina niya. Seryoso pa siyang napatitig kay Sunny ngayon, at nakangiti lang din siya.

"Are you sure about that dress, hija?"

"Yes, Mom! I love it! They can finish the design in three weeks."

Her mother looks worried and I didn't get it. So I silently whisper to her ear.

"Why? What it is, love?"
