CHAPTER 50

DIAMOND

Iris' POV

I didn't want to be confused but somehow, Damian's words got into my head.

If I wasn't so in love with him, why would I rush to the hospital like that?

I stared at Dashiell's face as we walked side by side towards the entrance the hotel. Nandito kami ngayon for the Annual Elite Charity Night and Absolute Auction.

If the same thing happened to Dash, I would lose it too. I just know it. So what does that mean for me?

I have never been this undecided my entire life. Pag-take pa nga lang ng course for college, alam ko na ang gusto ko. When I look at all the clothes inside a store, one look and I'll already know what to pick. Pero pagdating sa puso ko, ang labo. Sobrang labo.

Pakiramdam ko nagiging masamang tao na ako dahil hindi ako makapili. Parehas ko silang nasasaktan hangga't dalawa silang nasa buhay ko.

I know I have to choose but I really couldn't. I'm afraid of what would happen if I did. I'm afraid I'll be with the wrong person. Paano mo ba kasi malalaman kung sino ang mas tamang tao para sa'yo? Kung kanino ka mas sasaya at mapapanatag?

Dashiell smiled when the media started taking pictures of us. When he looked at me, my thoughts slowly went blank. Wala akong ibang tiningnan kundi ang mga mata niya lang.

"You're so beautiful," He whispered into my ears. Napangiti ako dahil nakiliti ang tenga ko ng hininga niya. I giggled and he laughed lightly.

After that, we went inside the function room. Tinulungan pa ako ni Dash sa suot suot kong blue beaded long gown. I wanted to look good for tonight because I was hoping it would make me feel good.

Habang naglalakad, nahagip agad ng mga mata ko si Damian. He was surrounded by his friends. Halatang pinagti-trip-an nila Silva at Nigel ang cast ng braso nito. They were attempting to write on it.

I'm surprised he'll be here. Hindi ba dapat nagpapahinga siya? He just got out of the hospital today.

Pagkatapos namin magkita kahapon ay nanatili pa siya doon para sa ilang mga tests. Kailangan niya kasing makasiguradong walang internal bleeding o kahit na anong iba pang bali sa katawan niya. Plus the police officers also went there to get his testimony.

I heard Nova was safe too. Nasa balita na umuwi agad ng Pilipinas ang mga magulang niya nang marinig ang trahedsya. They were so worried because this is the second time that their only daughter got into a traffic accident. Ang isa ay nung nasa Australia pa ito.

"Our table's here," Dash muttered, pulling the chair so I can sit on it. Kahit lagpas isang taon na kaming nagde-date ay hindi pa rin talaga nawawala ang pagiging gentleman niya. He's so consistent, it amazes me.

I held his hand and rested my head on his shoulder while we were waiting for our friends to arrive. Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko at sa saglit na oras ay kumalma ako.

I can have a peaceful life with Dash if I want to. Itutuloy lang namin ang mga kinagawian namin. Any girl would want this kind of love. A relationship almost perfect.
