"Pahinga Muna, Pahinga Ko." (Completed)

Chapter 45

"Tito Sam!"

Nakangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan si Ethan na akay-akay si Reji. After visiting Mom and Dad ay napapadalas na ang pagbisita niya sa bahay namin ni Yeji, Ganoon padin ang closeness nila ng inaanak ko.

"How's our little girl?" Ethan gently asked, Like it was his child.

Reji pouted. "Tito I'm not a little girl anymore, I'm 9!"

Napatawa kami ng bahagya ni Yeji habang nagkukulitan sila.

"Anong ganap? Hindi naman siguro kayo kinaladkad palabas ng bahay niyo diba?" Yeji asked me, concern on her eyes were evident.

Hindi ko pa kasi na ku-kwento sakanya ang nangyari nung gabing yun dahil kahapon lang siya umuwi ng bahay, due to her lawyer schedule.

"Good thing, Hindi. The bad news  is that.... Daddy wanted us to get 
engaged as soon as possible so we 
could start planning the wedding." I sighed.

"Oh!? Anong problema dun? Gosh, That's a good news. Hindi ko alam na una kang ikakasal sa'ting lima. You are most likely to be the one to stay single forever, Pero una kapang nakakita ng maayos na mapapangasawa." She explained, I can sense meaning on her words.

Walang problema dun. Kung iisipin ko, Practically, this is the best time to get married. We are both successful. Ako lang yung may problema. Wedding. I just can't see myself..... wearing a white dress at this moment of time. I can't imagine myself walking on that.... aisle.

Tinapik ko ang balikat niya. "You will find someone, Atty. Malay mo, Nasa tabi-tabi lang siya..." Makahulugang ani ko.

"Ewan ko sayo, Yang mga pamahiin mo Luca dudang-duda ako.." She rolled her eyes.

Napailing nalang ako habang nakangiti ng kunti. Yeji is the most loveable between us, Ang dali niyang mahalin. Ang sarap niyang mahalin. She might be cold but she's clingy when she get attach. But after what happened between her ex-boyfriend, I never know if she still wanted to open her heart again. Kung meron mang mas deserving na makahanap ng makakatuwang sa buhay ngayon, Siya yun. Because she deserve better.

"Hindi mo na sana ako sinundo," Sabi ko habang nagmamaneho siya.

Sabay kami ngayong papasok sa trabaho. Medyo na co-concious pa ako, Ano nalang ang sasabihin ng mga board pag nalaman nilang their Vp is dating one of his workers. Pumayag siya na wag munang e-public ang relationship namin sa Laurel, Since I know it will affect his position. Naiintindihan niya naman.

"I know what you're thinking."  He claim without looking at me.

"I'm sorry, I am just...concern about your status...inside laurel."  sabi ko.

"I'm willing to give up my position if it means telling the world that you're mine again, Luca." Sabi niya kaya napatingin agad ako.

Matagal ko siyang tiningnan bago niya ako lingunin. He stared at me with such sadness in his eyes, yet he continued to reassure me.

"I am not dating you just to hide you from everyone, Hon. I am still Dr. Ethan Cameron without that position." He said as he held my hand.

Nang malapit na kami sa Laurel ay liliko na sana ang kotse papuntang basement. Doon siya mag pa-park para hindi kami makitang magkasama.

"Go straight." I commanded.

Agad namang napahinto ang kotse at nilingon niya ako na may gulat sa mata.
