Taming Mr. Player (Completed)

33

Being together with the one you love is not always the best decision.

Sometimes, it's letting him go that would make you better.

"Are you sure about this, mija?" Mom asked. I nodded and smiled. "Eres demasiado valiente para dejarlo ir. Te mereces ser feliz." Then she hugged me. (You're too brave to let him go. You deserve to be happy.)

"No, mom. I'm not brave at all. Sobrang mahal ko lang sya to the point na gagawin ko lahat ng magpapaligaya sa kanya." Mom caressed my back.

"Osya, bilisan mo na at mahuhuli na kayo." Tumayo sya tapos kinuha nya yung bag ko. "Let's go?" Tumango ako.

"Donna! Rapido!" I heard Jon shouted from the living room.

"I'm coming, Jon. Just a sec." Humarap ako kay mom. "Thank you, mom. See you after a few months." Niyakap ko sya tapos kinuha ko na yung gamit ko at bumaba na kami sa living room. Naabutan naman naming nag-uusap si dad at si Jon.

"Oh, Jon, mijo. Ikaw nang bahala kay Donna. Busy sa trabaho si Darwin kaya ikaw munang bahala dito sa aming princessita." Sabi ni dad kay Jon. Lumapit ako kay dad tapos inembrace nya ako.

"Yes, tio. I'll watch her for you."

"Mija, be a good girl, okay? Wag mong bigyan ng sakit ng ulo ang kuya mo at si Jon." Natawa naman kaming apat sa sinabi ni dad.

"Of course, dad! There's no need to remind me. Baka ako pa ang magbabysit dyan kay Jon noh!" Pinat ni dad yung ulo ko tapos niyakap ako at bumulong.

"Fix yourself. I want to see a better you pagbalik mo. I love you, mija."

Pagkatapos nun, umalis na kami ni Jon. Hinatid kami ng driver namin. Today, babalik ako sa Costa Rica. I think that's where I belong. That's where I should be, that's my homeland.

"Thank you, Jon." Sabi ko kay Jon habang naghihintay kami magboard sa plane. Humarap sya sakin at ngumiti.

"Wala yun. Ako dapat magthank you sayo. Thank you kasi nagtiwala ka sakin. Kahit na alam kong mahal mo pa din sya, ako yung pinagkatiwalaan mo para sumama sayo at pinatawad mo ako. Yung bagay lang na yun, malaking halaga na sakin yun, Donna. So thank you talaga." Naka-ngiting sagot nya.

Oo, babalik kami sa Costa Rica. Four days ago, the night I left Eli inside that room, I decided to leave this beautiful country for a while. Susubukan kong kalimutan si Eli at kapag okay na ako, babalik na ako dito. Four days ago, that same night, umamin si Jon sakin na tinulungan nya yung Aye para magkabalikan sila ni Eli. I never had the chance to meet Aye for some reasons. Maybe this is not yet the time for us to meet.
