AKO YUNG SUMUGAL PERO IBA ANG NANALO

prologue

"You are invited on our wedding Von." I felt the excitement in her voice.

Lalo lang bumigat ang pakiramdam ko, knowing that Dave and her are enjoying their company with each other.

Darn it! Prinsesa ko 'to e pero bakit kailangang angkinin siya ng iba?

"Elizabeth, don't marry him. Ako 'yung totoong mahal mo. Alalahanin mo naman please?" pakiusap ko habang hawak ang kamay niya pero 'agad niya ring binatawan 'yun.

"Can you please stop Von? It's been 3 years. Why can't you just move on? Mahal ko si Dave at siya lang ang pakakasalan ko kaya tantanan mo na 'ko!"

I felt my tears streaming down my face but I wiped it out immediately.

"No, this is not you. 'Yung Elizabeth na kilala ko ay mahal ako." I paused, "Yung Elizabeth na kilala ko ay hindi makakayang tiisin ako."

"I'm not her so stop!" saad niya at umalis.

I was left there, crying.

Days flew fast, tomorrow is their wedding pero napagdesisyunan kong hindi ako pupunta do'n dahil paniguradong ikadudurog ko lang 'yun lalo.

I came back to my proper senses nang may biglang kumatok sa pinto kaya 'agad ko 'yung binuksan. Bumungad sa'kin si Elizabeth na umiiyak.

"I finally remember everything! I remember you Von!"

Sa sobrang saya ay niyakap ko siya ng napakahigpit. Kay talaga kong naghintay and finally! Naaalala niya na 'ko!

Naaalala na 'ko ng prinsesa ko!

Pero nagulat ako nang bigla niya na lang akong itinulak palayo.

"Mali 'to!" she mumbled.

Confusion marked on my face.

"Pero bakit? Naaalala mo na ako 'di ba? Anong problema? Hindi pa naman kayo kasal ni Dave 'di ba? We can start over again Elizabeth." umiiyak na saad ko pero nanatili siyang tahimik.

"Answer me Elizabeth. What's wrong?Mahal mo pa naman ako 'di ba?" I worded and held her hand, "Ako 'yung totoong mahal mo 'di ba?"

"Believe me, I love you Von b-but we can't be together a-anymore."

"But why?"

"I'm p-pregnant."

I felt a sudden stab on my chest but I smiled immediately, trying to calm myself.
