Love Against Time (COMPLETED)

SPECIAL CHAPTER II

"Nathan POV"

It's been 2 years since Gab was gone, and I can't still accept it, in that 2 years all I can think off is her, the moments we are together, the memories of us fighting, laughing, crying and comforting each other, those moment's that are impossible to happen again

My Mom regrets everything, Dad also apologize for tolerating Mom's attitudes and bad deeds, but it's to late now, their sorry and regrets can't do anything para maibalik sa dati ang lahat. . .

I'm just reminiscing our memories when I heared a knock at my door, I immediately wipe the tears that stained my cheeks before I lazily open it

"Iho may naghahanap sa'yo sa baba" turan ni Nanay Rosa ng mabuksan ko ang pintuan, kumunot ang noo ko at nagtatanong na tumingin sa kaniya, but she remain silent

"Sila Mommy ba 'yan Nanay Rosa? Paki sabi busy ako kaya makaka-alis na sila" malamig kong saad, yes it's been 2 years but I can't still forgive them fully, unti unti ko namang pinapatawad sila pero hindi ibig sabihin non ay babalik parin kami sa dati, it's too impossible to happen

"Nako hindi iho si Philip at Mina kasama nila ang inaanak mong si Maria Isabelle"agarang tugon nito sa tanong ko, Philip and Mina has a child now, the child Mina's carrying when that kidnapping happened thankfully survive, they're so thankful for Gab coz if not for her they might lost Isabelle

"Hmm....okay tell them I'm coming" maikli kong saad bago, bumalik ulit sa loob para magbihis

"Tito"Isabelle hurriedly run to me when she saw me walking down stairs, she's just 1 year old turning 2 this year, pero matatas na itong magsalita and she can already run without even falling, mature narin siya kung mag-isip, I might say she's not an ordinary kid

"Maria Isabelle don't run, you might fall"sigaw ni Mina sa anak pero hindi ito nakinig at patuloy lang sa pagtakbo papunta sakin, kaya sinalubong ko nalang siya at agad na binuhat

"Tito I miss you, hindi mo na'ko binibisita sa bahay"nagtatampong saad nito, ginulo ko lang naman ang buhok niya bago ngumiti at ibinaba s'ya sa sofa kung saan naroon ang mga magulang niya

"Sorry baby, medyo busy lang si Tito kaya hindi kita nabibisita" pagpapaliwanag ko rito, she just smile to me and nod

"I can see that you're still into her, It's been 2 years Miguelito, haven't you move on?"biglang saad ni Philip, I look at him and smile, lagi nalang ito ang tina-topic niya evertime na pupunta siya dito

"You know that it's always her Phil and I'm not planning to replace her" sagot ko dito

"Miguelito siguro ito na ang oras para kumilala ka ng bago, as I said it's been 2 years my man, h'wag mong sayangin ang panahon" pagkukumbinsi niya sakin but I just shake my head in response

"Tomorrow is Mama's birthday, i hope you come, may ipapakilala ako sayo sigurado akong magugustohan mo siya" saad niyang muli

"Stop Phil, as I said earlier I don't have plans to replace her, Wala akong balak kumilala ng bago,kung hindi siya ay h'wag nalang" malamig kung turan, I understand that they want me to be happy but I can't force my self to love someone else, when I know to myself that it's always her, and will always be her

"Hon stop forcing Miguelito, just accept his decision, hindi niya gustong palitan si Gab and we can't do anything about it, kung ako din naman ang nasa katayuan niya ganon din ang gagawin ko" saad ni Mina habang nakayakap sa asawa niya, napabuntong hininga na lamang si Phil at tumango

"Tito can we play outside?" Nakangiting pukaw ni Isabelle sa attention ko, kaya tumango ako sa kaniya at ipina-alam siya sa mga magulang niya

"Maria Gabriela" biglang sambit niya ng makarating kami sa garden, kaya agad akong napatingin sa kaniya "sakanya kinuha ang first name ko diba tito, she's the reason why, I'm still alive in this world" dagdag niyang saad, told you ibang iba siya, mature na siyang mag-isip and she easily understand everything around her and knowing that she's just turning 2
