There are things that love could do. It can hurt you and make you happy at the same time. Different feelings that you can feel when you're in love. Pero sa naranasan kong pag-ibig ay puro sakit at hirap ang naramdaman ko. Akala ko hanggang dun lang ang pag-ibig na para sa'kin. I already give up but I guess it was not still my ending.
"Mom and dad, Bela and I are getting married." Anunsyo ni Zephyr sa magulang niya. Ang dalawa ay hindi agad nakasagot at nanlalaki ang matang nakatingin sa'kin.
"Yown!" Sigaw ni Jupiter na siyang unang nag-react, "I want the hairy one!"
"O-Oh my god!" Tili ni tita Fatima kaya napa-ngiti kami ni Zephyr, "Babe! Ang anak ko ikakasal na! Saturn! Saturn!"
"Nasa tabi mo lang ako. Kalma." Sagot ni tito Saturn habang may ngiti sa labi niya, "At last! Pagtapos ng madaming taon ni''yung magda-drama, ika-kasal na din kayo."
"Everything has it's right timing after all." Zephyr said and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Indeed. Ahh, memories are flashing in my mind. Naalala kong ganyan din ang sitwas'yun namin ni Fatima noon. I'm just so glad that Fatima forgave me dahil kung hindi ay baka nasa asylum na ko ngayon." Pagke-kwento ni tito Saturn. Nag-tinginan naman kami ni Zephyr.
"We also want to tell you something." Ani Zephyr. Napatingin naman sila sa'min.
"Shit! May laman na!" Singit ni Jupiter sabay labas ng cellphone niya, "Oh damn, I'm gonna tell this to Sandro."
"It's not that." Zephyr said before he hold my hand. I took a deep breath and meet his parent's eyes, "Zach...is not my son."
Katahimikan ang bumalot sa salas. Gulat ang bumalatay sa mukha ng tatlong kaharap namin namin. Nakagat ko ang labi ko bago ako humugot ng malalim na hininga para mag-salita.
"I-I'm sorry. Hindi ko po alam na hindi si Zephyr ang ama ni Zach. I-I thought he is with me that night but I was so drunk. I'm sorry if I put your son in a situation that he don't deserve." Napayuko ako.
"I didn't tell you these because I know how much you loved Zach since the day he came to my life. At isa pa, gusto ko din munang makausap si Bela noon para magkalinawan kami ngunit iba ang nangyari." Sagot ni Zephyr. Nanatiling tahimik ang magulang niya kaya napalunok ako. Hindi ko alam kung galit sila pero natatakot ako. But I know I deserve their hate.
"Zephyr..." Bulong ni tita Fatima.
"But mom, I love Bela. I don't care what she did in the past because it doesn't matter anymore as long as she's with me. It hurts me to let my son go but I can't be selfish to Laurent—"
"Laurent?!" Sigaw na naman ni Jupiter, "Man, that was unexpected! I really need to to this to Sandro."
"Like what I said, ayokong nakawin ang karapatan ni Laurent sa anak niya. Zach is still my son too but...I guess that's it, right?" Napayuko si Zephyr kaya naman hinawakan ko ang kamay niya at mahigpit na hinawakan.
"Zephyr, are you willing to accept all of this?" Tito Saturn asked. Tumango si Zephyr bago ako tinignan.
"I already accepted this from the very start, dad. And I already told myself when I got Bela back that problem won't separate us again. I'll be stronger to face anything as long as Bela is with me."
"That's all I need to hear." Sagot ni tito kaya napatingin kami sa kanila. They are smiling at us making me teary eyed.
"Welcome to our family Bela. I mean, you're always welcome here but welcome to the Momtenegros." Tito Saturn added.
"Maraming salamat po."
"My, bakit naulit ang nangyari sa nakaraan?" Naiiyak na saad ni tita Fatima. Hindi ko naman na-gets ang sinabi niya.
