Warm Embrace

Proud

"What?!" I was shock! Inangatan n'ya ako ng kilay habang ako naman ay problemadong nakatingin sa kanya. Iyon agad ang sinabi n'ya sa akin pag ka-gising ko kinabukasan sa condo n'ya!

"You're my fiancé anyway, they won't harm you." He console me. He arched his brows while intently looking at me!

"Paano pag hindi ako gusto?!" Exaggerated kong sambit. "Yung Mommy mo, baka ayaw sa akin, she looks intimidating, Kleau."

I heard his chuckled, "I never thought you would think of Mom like that."

He caressed my hair and gave me a pat. "You're good enough, you don't need to change yourself." Then he gave me a kiss. "Besides you already met them a lot of times before, why are you so scared."

"Duh, iba iyon, siyempre puro events iyon kaya nakikita ko sila, e ngayon? No! As your fiancé na 'no." Nguso ko sa kanya, that would be different. I never spoke to her Mom! Not even once, sa Daddy n'ya oo, Klea, Kleo 'yan. Her mom never approached me neither i.

Nandito kami sa sala ng unit n'ya. It was my first time here after how many years. Some furniture changed and some are remained. Inaalagaan n'ya ang unit n'ya. Samantalang ako ay hindi pa nakakababa para sa condo ko.

It was my first time again in this building... i never thought i would be back here again and because of him.

I continue bubbling something and he was listening to everything. He gave me pat on my head and would look me like he's looking into my soul! He will nod and caressing my ring finger after.

I get my phone and take a photo of his thumb on my ring finger touching the ring he gave me. Nakapatong ang kamay kamay sa hita ko at hawak ang kamay. Shortly after, i posted it on my instagram. Hindi ko na tinignan kung gaano kadami agad ang nag react. I put as a caption is 'Finally, with you.'

"Mom is not like what you think. She was bubbly and easy to get along." He said. Saliwa sa iniisip ko, sana nga! Hindi ko nakikita si Tita na ganoon, mukha s'yang masungit.

"Where's your car? Hindi kita nakitang nag d-drive ng sarili mong sasakyan." He curiously asks. Ngumiti naman ako sa kanya ng maalala ang dahilan.

"The first reason is, 'yung kay Sciana? Remember? Iyong naaksidente kami parehas." I said and he nodded tila naalala. "And the second one is, i attempted to do it again." My voice somehow became whispered.

Dumilim ng kaunti ang mukha n'ya at nagsalubong ang kilay. This is better kaysa magtago ako although nahirapan ako ng kaunti.

"Yeah? Why would you do that?" He raised a brow. Masungit na ang pagkakasabi at mukhang may gusto pang malaman.

"Wala na! Iyon lang." It is better than to tell him the reason. I don't want him to feel guilty since it's mamy choice naman. He has nothing to do with it.

Hindi s'ya nakumbinsi sa sagot ko but he let it pass. At least I'm fine, I'm okay. Kaya ko na 'to. I don't know how did i get through it, it's just that. Hindi ko na nasabi sa kanya ang iba. Diretso pa rin ang kwento ko sa kanya.

"Ikaw? Share ka naman! Ano, ako lang ang may pakielam sa pamilyang 'to?" I joked. He looked so serious while looking at me, mukhang iniisip pa rin kung bakit!

"I was away for the past years." He started. "US. Doon ako nagsimula lahat, and to make our connection wider, I associate with some business partners. Malalakas 'e. I manage to get to know them well. Aside from that, i also started my construction firm in US. That was first and the second was here." He said.
