Anong Nangyari Sa Ating Dalawa

Chapter 33 - Revelations 2

As soon as Maine is settled on her seat, she decides to check on her phone that she placed on silent mode. She saw missed calls and texts from Anna, she was intrigued and called her right away. She was told by Anna that Alden was with her and they are catching up. Maine was happy that Alden never lost connection with her friends lalo na kay Anna. He established a good friendship with Anna and maintained it. Maine saw her other phone that only have one contact in the address book. She checked it and was surprised to see that there's a text message for her and there's only one person who knows this number. She opens the text message and true enough it was from RJ telling her to be safe. Her heart is so happy, bakit ganun? Tama ba na maramdaman niya yun? Pero, it has always been this way with RJ. And Maine just looked outside the window, when the sign to buckle up lights up as they are about to take off.

Meantime, at the café, Alden and Anna went on to catch up and Alden was caught between telling Anna his story or just keep mum about it. But Alden feels he owes it to Anna so that she can have a better understanding of what happened since Maine probably told her side of the story. And so, he begins to tell Anna.

Sa totoo lang Anna, Menggay is very special to me. She makes me happy and she takes me to a place that I am calm and just plain happy. I like the way she takes care of me and finds the time to really listen and understand me. She gives her all, without judgment - Alden

Anong nangyari? I saw the two of you as two people that are genuinely happy and the people around you do not matter when you are together. It is as if you are in your own bubble that no one would like to disturb you. Bakit na kay Jason siya now? and not with you? - Anna

Oh, wait. Hold that thought, I am going to get the croissant that I ordered. Promise magugustuhan mo to, sasagutin ko yan wait lang - Alden

As Alden stood up, Anna had this idea in mind and so she hit the call button to call Maine. The screen says it is not available when Alden came with the croissants. Anna scrambles for the phone and had to turn it back so that Alden would not see the screen, she forgot to end the call while the call automatically was placed to voice mail.

These are the famous croissants I was telling you, and that is buttered with cheese - Alden

And to answer your question, di ba nga sabi ko sayo Menggay makes me happy and that I have been at my happiest when I met her and being with her brings different happiness. I asked myself, happy lang ba ako na kasama ko siya? Pero kasi she makes me do things that I thought I can never do. She brought the best in me and kapag wala siya I miss her so much that it breaks my heart to pieces. Pinagdasal ko siya kay Lord sabi ko give me a sign if Menggay is the person I have been waiting for. I have been given a lot of signs and I just have to make it right. So, with only my dad knowing, I went to Bulacan and talked to Nanay and Tatay, asked their permission if I can formally court their daughter. - Alden

And? - Anna

And I got their blessing, they were very happy when I went there and when I sought their blessing. Sabi nila hinihintay nila yun. I told them walang alam si Menggay kahit konti wala siyang alam. - Alden

Anong nangyari bakit si Jason ang boyfriend niya ngayon? - Anna

While I was planning how I would start the formal panliligaw, lumabas ang open letter niya. I know her intentions are good and I know she wanted what is good for me. I was caught off guard actually, we could have had a different strategy kaya lang na publish na niya so tinanggap ko na lang. Then I was swamped with projects, endorsements right and left tapos nawalan na kami ng time to spend with each other. Umabot pa nga sa point na I would drop by her condo tulog siya, gusto ko lang siya makita. Alam ni Dean yun pero sabi ko wag ng sabihin at baka mainis sa akin at di siya pinagising dahil pag gising siya it will be hard for me to leave. And the movie with Bossing happened na hindi na kinaya ng schedule ko kaya di na ako naisama doon. And the rest led her to Jason - Alden

And you just let it happen. Di mo siya pinaglaban o di mo man lang sinabayan ang panliligaw ni Jason? - Anna

Sa totoo lang, nilamon na ako ng insecurities ko nun. Biglang andami kong gustong patunayan na sabihin na karapat dapat ako kaya nag focus ako lalo sa work. Nilamon na ako ng selos na walang nakakaalam kaya humingi ako ng leave of absence sa EB. Kinausap nga ako nila Nanay at Tatay, tinanong nila ako anong nangyari. Sinabi ko sa kanila lahat at nakiusap na rin ako na wag na lang sabihin kay Menggay dahil may Jason na nga ito (sadness in his eyes and voice) - Alden

Pero di mo man lang nasabi kay Menggay na mahal mo siya. Di niya nalaman na mahal mo siya? - Anna

I know alam ni Menggay na mahal ko siya and I know also that knowing Menggay she needed to hear it from me to say it, to verbalize it. All it takes is that one moment that we can sit down and really talk and she could ask me again kung ano ba kami or I could just tell her that I wanted more, I wanted us to be a couple. Di ko na nagawa kasi nga gusto ko mangyari yun sa ligawan stage like she want it the old fashion way. I asked for her parent's blessing first and then yun mga susunod na mangyayari doon ko na masasabi sa kanya. Pero it didn't go the way it should be tapos nalaman ko na lang na about Jason and ayoko naman manghimasok that would be very ungentleman of me at ayoko na magkaron kami ng rift ni Menggay. I just asked her that one time na last day ko from EB kasi mag take effect na yun Leave of absence ko. I asked her if she's happy and she said yes, that was enough for me to hear kahit it broke my heart to pieces. I would love to hug her that time and tell her ako na lang or how much I love her but that would be unfair to the other guy - Alden

Alam mo ba Anna when I read and saw the news about them para akong paulit ulit na sinasaksak dito (touching his chest near the heart). Sabi ko sa sarili ko napaka tanga ko, napaka bagal ko I have her already pinakawalan ko pa. - Alden

Kung bakit naman kasi RJ di mo pa sinabi noon pa. Ibig mo bang sabihin up to now hindi alam ni Menggay yan mga sinabi mo sa akin? - Anna

Nope. And I don't think kailangan pa niya malaman, she is happy now. Wait, I'll get us more coffee (Alden stands and went inside the cafe)

Anna was left shocked at what she discovered from Alden and saw her phone, flips it, and saw that it recorded the conversation to Maine's voicemail. Shocked yet happy that it did but worried about what's going to happen next. Alden, came out and saw Anna's face still in shock, he asked her what's wrong and she just said that she is still in shock of his revelation.
