Chapter 39

"Sige una na kayo may pupuntahan lang ako," I said and tried to part ways with them but they stopped and looked at me with confusion.

"Sigurado kang hindi kana sasabay samin pauwi?" Tanong ni Lana sakin.

"Oo may pupuntahan lang ako saglit," I sagot ko.

"Saan?" seryosong tanong ni Alliana sakin. Alam kong alam nila kung saan ako pupunta.

"Sa kanya," I said. Lana looks at Alliana and smiles at me.

"Good Luck gurl," she said and hugs me, while Alliana remain standing and staring at me.

Nang lumayo si Lana sakin at hinarap ko si Ali, she sighs and look at me in a serious expression. "Magtext ka samin" she just said and turns her back walk with Lana.

Nang tuluyan na silang umalis ay nagsimula narin akong maglakad at pumunta sa park na sinabi ni Oliver.

Pagpunta ko doon ay agad siyang hinahanap ng aking mga mata at natagpuan siya sa isang bench sa ilalim ng puno, gabi na kaya hindi ko agad siya napansin pero agad akong tumakbo sa kanya ng makita ko siya.

"Oli!!!" I said and hugged him in an instant as I stood in front of him. He hugged me back and its so tight kaya hindi ko maiwasang matawa.

"Oh, grabe naman makayakap, miss na miss mo ba ako?" biro ko sa kanya at niyakap din siya ng sobrang higpit.

"I miss you so bad, I'm gonna die" he whispered on my neck and sniffed it.

"Grabe naman yung mamatay, ganon mo ba ako kamahal?" I held his face and move him away my neck when he started kissing it. "Owww bakit nakasimangot ang baby na yan?" I said with a baby sound and finch his cheeks.

He frowned as I move him away kaya tumawa ako lalo, "Hahahahaha ang feeling mo Oli, sa tingin mo cute ka dyan?"patuloy ko parin siyang tinatawanan kahit nakatitig lang siya sakin.

"Hahahaha oo na cute kana wag ka nang sumimangot dyan," I said but he just struggled and hugged me again, back to his position in my neck.

He rested his head on my shoulder and let out heavy sigh. Tumigil na ako sa pagtawa at hinimas nalang ang kanyang buhok, nagsimula rin akong gumalaw na para kaming sumasayaw ng magkayakap.

Late na kaya wala nang tao dito sa park, kaming dalawa na lang kaya sinulit ko at nilabas ang aking cellphone sa bulsa habang nakayakap lang sakin si Oli.

Nagpatugtuog ako na ikinagulat ni Oli at tinignan ito, "Bakit?" he asks.

"Hindi mo ako nasayaw nong Anniversary ng Delavine's hindi ba," I said. And that made him stand properly.

"Hindi ba?" he asks, I smile and nodded. "Ngayon na ang tsansa mong bumawi hahahha," he smiles as I say those, kinuha ko ang dalawa niyang kamay at inilagay sa aking bewang at ang aking kamay sa kanyang mga balikat.

"Isipin mo na lang nasa magara tayong hotel at nasa gitna ng dance floor." I whisper and start the proper music.

I started moving and he did the same thing, I smiled as we started dancing, staring at each other with glimmers in his eyes.

Sinabayan ko ang kanya habang nakatingin sa kanya at lumapit pa sa kanya," So you sat and stared at my lips and I could already feel your kiss" he chuckled when I said those line and held me tighter.

"Long nights, daydreams sugar and smoke rings, I've been a fool but strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you" I was singing for him with a genuine smile, he leaned on and kissed my forehead made me close my eyes and rest it on his chest.

"Remember when you taught me fate, said it'd all be worth the wait like that night in the back of the cab when your fingers walked in my hand" I continue singing and feeling his embrace and this moment.

"Aberry, I love you," he whispered in my head and hugged me tighter.

"And my heart beat for you" I answer and face him, ang mapupungay niyang mata ang sumalubong sakin at isang napaka tamis na halik.

He kisses me with overflowing love and touch, after that our forehead stays together and we stare at each other.

"I love you, mahal kita," he said I smiled and nodded saying that I know that already.

"I love you, I love you, I love you," natawa ako ng paulit-ulit niya itong sinabi at niyakap ako, he even carry me and kiss me.

"Mahal kita," he said.

I smile at him and kiss him. pagkababa niya sakin ay tumunog ang phone niya at agad niy aitong kinuha. It was a text message; I chose to avoid seeing it and look away acting like I'm not interested in it. But I surely know that it's Zoey.

I bite my lips and play with my fingers as he still in focus on his phone, pinatay kona rin ang tugtog at binalik ito saking bulsa. Maya-maya lang ay hinarap ako ni Oliver.

"This is the night" he said and firmly look at me. alam ko ang tinutukoy niya at nakaramdam ako ng takot dito.

"Sigurado ka na ba dito?" nag aalala kong tanong. I saw him gulp and slowly nodded.

"I love you Aberry, mahal na mahal kita," he hugged me again and kissed me torridly but filled with love.

"Umuwi kana ako na ang bahala dito, mahal kita Aberry" he said and smile at me. "I love you too," I said and kiss him for a peck of the kiss after letting go of his hands.

"Umuwi kana ng diretso ah," he said, I nodded and started to walk away from him, leaving him there.

Iniwan ko siyang nakatuon sa kanyang cellphone at habang naglalakad palayo sa park ay nakasalubong ko ang sasakyan ni Zoey, she didn't notice me because she's focus on driving.

I look at where she goes and reach for my neck to touch my necklace, natigilan ako ng makapa na na kulang ito.

Wala yung letter O na pendant nito, kaya agad akong kinabahan tumingin tingin ako sa paligid para hanapin ito ngunit wala.

Naglakad ako pabalik sa mga nilakaran ko at nagpatuloy sa paghahanap, hanggang sa hindi ko napansin na andito na ako ulit sa park at...

"Ayun!" I whisper and run to it, nasa ilalim ito ng isang slide para sa mga bata.

I was about to get it when....

"Zoey may sasabihin ako sayo," natigilan ako ng marinig ang boses ni Oliver sa likod ng slide.

Pinulot ko ang pendant at dahan-dahang sumilip sa likod nito, there he is talking to Zoey.

Dapat ba akong manood? I ask myself. Tama ba na panoorin ko ang plano ni Oliver na makipagbreak kay Zoey dahil sakin?

I bite my lower lip and watch them; I know they won't see me here. "What is it Babe, tell me," Zoey cheerfully said.

I feel guilt, ngayong nakikita ko kung gano kabait at kamahal ni Zoey si Oliver. maghihiwalay sila ngayong gabi dahil sakin na traydor niyang kaibigan. Sobrang sama ko, pero anong magagawa ko nagmamahal lang din ako at ito ay isa sa hangarin namin dalawa ni Oli.

My hands were shaking when I saw Oli took a deep breath, ayaw kitang masaktan Zoey, pero patawarin mo sana kami.

Oliver kneels in front of Zoey, I feel guilt that he has to be the only one to take responsible to this, when it's all about us. Nahihirapan akong makita na siya pa ang luluhod para hingin ang kapatawaran kay Zoey sa kasalanang ginawa naming dalawa.

"Zoey please...." I close my eyes and bite my lip harder, forgive us Zo------

"Marry me,"

I stiffed and slowly opened my eyes; my whole body trembled as I saw Oliver showing a silver ring to Zoey.

What?

"Zoey Milendez, please marry me"
