Reminiscing The Blueprints (COMPLETED)

Chapter 10-Now Playing: Alipin

Nagising ako dahil sa sinag ng araw na tumama sa mga mata ko. I slowly opened my eyes and realized that Dark's arm was still hugging me. I sighed looking at how comfortable his hand could get while hugging me. Pati ang mga kamay mo, masyadong mapaglaro.

I took a glimpse of our engagement ring, so fucking beautiful... But this ring is not meant for me, and that's the saddest thing about it. Hindi naman para sa 'kin 'to pero ang komportable nito sa kamay ko.

Kagabi nga, naisip ko na agad kung... paano kung maghihiwalay na nga kami? Makakayanan ko bang isauli 'tong singsing na nakasanayan ko ng suotin?

Too many questions filled me. Sa sobrang dami, hindi ko na rin alam kung alin ba dapat ang uunahin kong isipan ng solusyon. Ang alam ko lang ngayon, magiging masakit.

But I still don't have a choice. Pinasok na namin e', ang kailangan nalang... sumunod kami sa plano. After that, this bullshit is over.

We're already over.

I slowly took off his arms hugging me. I sat down beside him and stared at his angelic face while sleeping. Andyan na naman 'yung tunog ng puso kong nakakabingi. Pati na rin 'yung mga paru-parung naglalaro sa tiyan ko. Kinikilig ako sa simpleng pagtitig ko lang sa kanya dahil hindi ko maitatangging, gwapo naman talaga siya.

He's a beautiful masterpiece that I would always wish to see on the museums and galleries. 

A horizon that I would always wish to live on, and a craft that I would appreciate even if it doesn't scream perfection because it's just an abstract.

I reached for my phone beside him and then took a picture. He looks so angelic when sleeping but a demon with a heart in the broad daylight.

Malayo-layo pa naman pero hindi mamamalayan ang oras.

Six months from now, graduation niya na, and six more months, before his exams. The results of the boards shall follow.

Isang taon nalang wala na kami. 

Wala ng future Mr. and Mrs. Sarmiento. Soon to be Engineer Sarmiento and Architect Levister nalang.

I just hope I'll be happy when that day comes. I sighed and just combed my hair after.

Nauna na rin akong maligo dahil natutulog pa siya. I closed the door and slowly walked inside the mansion's living room. I adored its design because it was really screaming perfection. Ang ganda ng pagkakadisenyo ng bawat detalye.

It's so peaceful and quiet, old yet classy. Siguro, kung sino man 'yung arkitekto at enhinero ng bahay na 'to, siguro ang galing galing nila. This masterpiece was always something to be proud of.

Sana pagdating ng araw... If I'm going to have my own rest house, ganito mismo ang ididisenyo ko.

I walked towards the portrait of Don Alejandro and his beloved wife, Donya Felicidad. Nakangiting nakayakap sa likod ni Lola si Lolo Alejandro. It was also visible that they're both happy in each other's embrace.

Siguro, isa na rin 'to sa rason kung bakit hindi na muli pang nagasawa si Don Alejandro kahit namaalam na si Donya Felicidad. Their love conquered death.

And that's the man I've always dreamed for. Sana balang araw, makakita ako ng lalaking magmamahal sa 'kin... kahit mawala man ako sa mundo.

Sunod kong pinagmasdan ang mga litrato sa ibaba ng portrait. Standing frames ang mga ito. I smiled seeing the wedding photo of Tita Celine and Tito Vincent, though hindi nakangiti si Tito pero kitang kita sa mga mata niya kung gaano niya kamahal si Tita habang pinagmamasdan itong ihagis ang bulaklak sa mga bridesmaid.
