ToGetHer Forever

Special Chapter (uno)

Witnessing your beloved woman graduate again is an overwhelming feeling. He may not be present during her first graduation, but he made sure that he'll be present during her second graduation.

At tulad ng ginawa ni Kristene noon, he just watched silently from a far from start to finish. And he's proud of his beloved woman who graduated with flying colors.

Gustong-gusto ni Vincien na lapitan si Kristene pero pinipigilan nya ang sarili. Ano nga bang sasabihin nya dito? Congratulations, I'm proud of you?

Easier said than done. If only he did not left her that time, it would be easy for him to walk towards his beloved woman and not just hug her but kiss her like he wanted to do right now.

He's feeling envious of Dylan. Sana sya ang nasa posisyon nito kung hindi nya iniwan si Kristene. And seeing them like this is like killing him on the inside.

Ako dapat ang humahalik sa noo ni Kristene tulad ng palagi kong ginagawa dati. But what can I do? I already do what I did. Hindi na maibabalik pa ang nakaraan. And that's what kills me inside.

Here I am still inlove with Kristene, but here she is, happy with another man. And that's the consequence of me being an asshole.

Masama ba akong tao kung plano kong paghiwalayin sila? Because right now, that's what I wanted to do. I know it would be selfish of me but Kristene is only mine.

And even if it takes a lifetime para pagbayaran ko lahat ng sakit na naidulot ko sa babaeng mahal na mahal ko then so be it.

Pinagmasdan lang ni Vincien si Kristene at Dylan kasama ng mga magulang nito sa labas ng Hall kung saan ginanap ang graduation nito. At nang makaalis ang mga ito, tsaka lang sya lumabas sa pinagtataguan nya para lumapit sa magulang ni Kristene.

"Ma, Pa."

Kristene's Mother turned to him and smiled sadly. "Hijo, are you okay?"

He nodded at Kristene's Mother in response.

"Anak bakit hindi ka lumapit?" Kristene's Father asked him.

"Pa hindi ko alam kung paano ko sya pakikiharapan. Sa laki ng kasalanan ko sa kanya parang wala akong mukhang maihaharap sa anak nyo."

Kristene's Father tapped his shoulder. "You know my daughter very well. Why don't you try Hijo?"

Then Kristene's Mother held his hands. "We'll help you if needed. But for now, kung gusto mong bumawi sa anak namin, go and woo her again."

Saglit na napatitig si Vincien sa magulang ni Kristene bago nya nakuhang magsalita muli. "Ma, Pa, why are you being nice to me? I caused pain on your daughter—"

"It's because you didn't hurt her purposely." Kristene's Father cut him off. "You have your own reasons Hijo. And we understand that. Yes you did something wrong by breaking up with her but we understand where that came from. At kaysa nag-uusap tayo ngayon dito, go. Sundan mo ang Prinsesa namin. I assure you, she's still Kristene Rae Adriano, your best friend and beloved woman."

He took a deep calm breath before he smiled at Kristene's parents. "Gracias Ma, Pa. You're both right. If I want to get her back, I need to do the right thing starting from now. But Ma? Can I ask a favor?"

"Sure Hijo. What is it? Tell me. I'm all ears."

"Please help me convince Kristene to be the Interior Designer of our house."

Kristene's Father looked at him in amusement. "I see. You already planned it all along."

Vincien smiled at Kristene's parents. "Honestly, even after knowing that Kristene and Dylan have a relationship, I'm still determined to break them apart. Because Kristene Rae... is only mine. And I'm asking for your permission If I can do that?"
