Sebastian Lee | CATASTROPHIC SERIES 1 [Completed]

Chapter 35

Carleigh Jade Revaz

"What did you just say?" I said to him dahil nagulat ako sa sinabi nya. But he just answer me with a deep breath before he look at me and caress my hands.

"A-Are you really going to m-marry me?" Pag-uulit ko sa kanya. Hindi ko alam kung nagbibiro lang ba sya pero sa tono ng pananalita nya parang sigurado na sya.

"Is it too much if I'm dreaming of marrying someone like you Carleigh?" He suddenly said kaya parang napahiya ako. It was just his dream and it wasn't his plan yet. As if naman nga na papakasalan na nya ako right away? I still have so many plans on my life and one of that is to handle our business. I want to help Mom and Dad. After I graduate, ayoko nang maging pabigat sa kanila. I want to do everything on my own.

"No! It's not! God knows how deserving you are for everything."

"But am I deserving for you? Am I enough for you?" He seriously said.

"B-Bakit mo ba 'to natatanong? Ang s-seryoso mo naman masyado." I said to lessen the awkwardness between us.

"What if you're destined to marry me even it's too early? By any chance, will you still choose to marry me even if you're not yet ready?" He seriously said again habang nakatingin sa akin. Parang sinusuri nya talaga ang iniisip ko. And he looks so worried. Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggagaling ang mga sinasabi nyang 'to but I just smiled at him.

"If I really need to marry you even if it's too early, I will not think twice to say yes to you even I'm not yet ready because it's better rather than I loose you." I said to him. Totoo 'yon. Kung mapupunta man ako sa desisyon na 'yon, mas pipiliin ko na pakasalanan na lang sya kahit na wala akong idea kung anong pwedeng mangyari kesa naman mawala sya sa akin. I'm just too scared to let him go. I don't want to loose him while I'm on the process of making myself grow.

"That makes me stop worrying." He said at napabuga pa sya ng hangin.

"You don't have to worry because I can do anything just to keep you mine." Sabi ko pa sa kanya kaya nakita ko na ang pagpipigil ng ngiti nya. I saw his dimples and it makes me feel crazy.

"Okay. Sleep now Carleigh. I'll just go to the kitchen." He said at bigla na lang syang tumayo.

"Anong gagawin mo sa kusina? Magluluto ka? Gabing gabi na." Natatawang sabi ko sa kanya.

"No. I'll just drink some cold water." Natatawang sabi nya kaya iiling iling na lang akong bumalik dito sa pagkakahiga ko. That smile of him, I'm not going to loose that. That smiles and stares of him is just mine.

"Happy birthday Jade. I can't believe that you're already a lady. Dati kinakarga lang kita ngayon halos magsing-tangkad na tayo." Madramang sabi ni Mom kaya natawa na lang ako sa kanya habang tinitingnan ko ang reflection namin sa salamin. I'm still here on my room dahil wala pa naman sina Grey sa baba at 'yong mga espesyal daw na bisita sabi ni Mom. I don't know who is she talking about but for sure, mga business partners nila 'yon ni Dad.

"Mom, I'm just 18. As if naman na mag-aasawa na po ako." Natatawang sabi ko kay Mom pero nakita ko lang na bigla syang nag-seryoso saka sya pilit na ngumiti sa akin at naglakad na sya sa may harap ko.

"You trust us right?"

"Of course Mom. Where did that come from?"  I said to her. Bakit parang ang weird naman yata nilang lahat ngayon?
