Married To My Boss (published by Lifebooks)

EPILOGUE

Dear Jamie,

     I’m sorry for my stupidity and selfishness. I know that saying sorry is not enough for all the things that I have done; it can’t turn back the time and correct my actions. All I was thinking about is myself. I envy you because you’re you and you don’t need to exert any effort just to get his attention while I almost change and transform into another person but he still didn’t love me the way he loves you. I thought that he would love me if I change my looks but he still considered me as his sister. He only have eyes for you.

I already saw you when we were still a kid. I was about to approach him but he went to another kid who was wearing a princess’ gown which was you. You were crying at the park and Brent comforted you while I was left alone watching him. He always chooses you at the end and right from the start, you already have the place in his heart.

 I won’t be an antagonist in your love story and I know where I stand now. I just wish you all the best.

                                                                                                                 Sincerely,

                                                                                                                          Sab

 

This was the letter I received when I went to our living room. I didn’t expect that I would still hear something from her. Halo halo ang nararamdaman ko ngayon pero alam kong wala ng galit. Kahit sinaktan niya kami at least nag-sorry na siya and I know na sincere siya kasi ang Sab na kilala ko ay mabait. We should learn to forgive.

“What are you holding?” Brent ask.

“Paper?” He just look at me, waiting for a serious answer. “Joke. Letter galing kay Sab.” His expression hardened the moment I said her name.

“Huwag kang mag-alala, wala naman siya sinasabing hindi maganda. In fact, may nalaman pa ako.” Lumapit ako sa kanya at inayos ang tie niya habang tinaasan niya lang ako ng kilay.

“Ikaw pala si Captain America. Ang bata ko pa nun tapos love mo na agad ako?” biro ko sa kanya. Nakita ko namang ngumiti na siya. Alam kong mahal niya ako dahil nararamdaman ko ito.

“What can I do? You were adorable then.” He cupped my face and gave me a soft kiss on my lips.

“Hindi ko alam kung ang harot mo lang talaga o sobrang ganda ko. I love you mister ko.” I wrapped my hands in his wait and hug him. Kahit may ginawang masama si Sab I still want to thank her dahil nasagot na rin kung kailan niya ako unang nakita. Ang dami pang lalaki riyan and I know na mahahanap ni Sab ang para sa kanya. Masyadong lang kasi siyang excited.

“BRENT!” tawag ko kay Brent pagkarating niya sa labor room. Hindi na ako sumasama sa kanya papuntang office dahil kabuwanan ko na. Tinawagan lang siya ni Nana kanina at sila ni Mang Tats ang naghatid sa akin.
