Villanueva Series #2: Love's Fatal Twist

CHAPTER 50

"Caleb?" Sigaw ko muli

Napa kusot ako sa mata ko nang may bumukas na ilaw, sobrang nakaka silaw. Mas lalo akong nabigla nang makita ko si Keb, anong ginagawa niya dito?

"Keb?" takang tanong ko, naka suot ito ng formal suit. Lumapit siya saakin, at lumuhod.

"Will you marry me, I wi--" nainis ako kaya sinampal ko siya

"Hoy, mahiya ka naman may asawa kana!" Sigaw ko sa kaniya, nakita ko sa muka niya ang pasimpleng tawa.

"I'm just kidding, you know. Hindi ko lolokohin ang wife ko, may nakalaan sa'yo" pag ka sabi niya ay bigla namang namatay ulit ang ilaw.

"Hindi ko na maintindihan!"

Napa lingon ako dahil sa pag bukas muli ng ilaw at mas lalo akong nagulat 'dahil may naaninag nanaman akong tatlong lalaki na pa-punta saakin, naka suot 'yung isa ng black polo at 'yung dalawa naman ay naka suot ng formal suit.

"Choose, calista." Sabay-sabay na sabi ng tatlo

"Teka bakit niyo alam ang pangalan ko, tsaka bakit ako pipili sainyo? eh kuko lang kayo ni Caleb! Tsee" Inis na sambit ko

Tumawa ang tatlo, "If you didn't choose among the three of us, you wouldn't have had a groom."

"Huh, ayoko. Magiging single mom nalang ako no!" Naiinis na sabi ko, ngumuso ako bago bumalik sa kinauupuan.

But before I could take a step, the lights kept turning on and off repeatedly. I looked around, and in my final glance, I saw him. Ang lalaking gusto kong makasama habang buhay.

The man standing is wearing a black formal wedding suit. He has black hair, green eyes with a hint of hazel brown eyes, and a handsome face.

"It's caleb, my man."

He looks so formal, elegant, handsome, and beautiful simultaneously. My throat was dry, yet, my heart began to race as I saw him.

My mind quickly ran to our old memories together. Caleb was sweet. Caleb loved me. Caleb was my man. Caleb was the one I chose, so I should spend the rest of my life with him.

"You're going to follow me even here, Calista?"

"Huh?" narinig ko na ito, "Hoy, tigilan mo nga ako, kailan ka pa naging OA?"

Nagulantang ako nang hatakin nito ang braso palapit sa kaniya, "Leave." Bulong nito

"Hoy, bakit ka ganyan!"

"Don't be sarcastic woman. Umalis kana"

Teka, I knew it! "Gusto mong umalis ako?"

"They may be scared of a person like you, woman."

Narinig ko na ito, "Hindi muna ba ako mahal?" tanong ko, ngumisi siya sakin.

Umatras ako, ngunit pag atras ko ay nakita ko si Syrielle na may hawak na bulaklak. "Pakasal na kayo, i love you both" saba'y abot saakin ng bulaklak.

Ngunit pag lingon ko ay bumukas na ang mga ilaw, napaka ganda ng lugar, sobrang ganda. Punong-puno ng bulaklak, nang mga litrato namin, mas lalo akong nabigla 'dahil sa biglang pag bukas nang malaking projection screen. Si Caleb ka-agad ang nakita ko sa screen.

"My woman, my future wife, at ang ina nang magiging anak natin. As a man who has always believed in the power of law and order, I never expected that my path would cross with someone na hindi ko naman ni minsan ginusto, o mahalin, ikaw 'yung babaeng minsan na ginusto kong mawala sa buhay ko, 'yung babaeng ang tingin ay pera ang lahat na solusyon." Natatawa ako na halong may pag ka iyak habang pinapanood siya.

Bumuntong hininga ito bago mag salita muli, "But you challenge my convictions and teach me the true meaning of love, may hindi pag kaka-unawaan, lalo na 'yung trahedyang nangyari, sabi ko nga sa sarili ko eh. From the moment I met her I was captivated by her spirit, her weirdness, and her unwavering belief. Sabi ko pa sa sarili ko, She opened my eyes to a world beyond rules and regulations, showing me that love has the power to transcend boundaries, nang mas makilala ko siya, I discovered that she possessed a unique ability to see the beauty in every person and situations. Ngayon, mahal ko. Standing before you. Gusto ko iparamdam sa'yo na mahal na mahal kita. I never thought that I would find myself in this position, ready to ask you the most important question in my entire life"

"But look my love, here I am." Napa lingon ako nang ma-matay ulit 'yung ilaw. Inikot ko ang paningin ko, sa pag ikot ko muli ng aking paningin nakita ko muli siya ngunit naka luhod na ito ngayon."

"Caleb..." Yumuko ako para pigilan ang luha.

"My love." Sambit niya

Caleb pulls out a small box and gets down on one knee. "Will you marry me?"

He opens the box to reveal an engagement ring, and he holds it up for you to see.

"Hindi ako perpekto, caleb."

"Hind mo kailangan maging perpekto, ako calista. Hindi rin ako perpekto, nasaktan kita.

"In-fact you don't need to be perfect for me to love you, I just want you to be your own person. You can still have your own job and hobbies, your own style...that's what makes you. You calista, that's one reason why I fell for you"

"I won't use any law just to make you say yes. Hindi kita pi-pilitin"

"Pero.."

"May pero?"

"Sige na please...Marry me na, my love" kanta nito, kaya natawa ako lalo.

"Akala ko ba?" I teased him

"I love you caleb, handa ako maging Mrs. Villanueva mo." Tumayo ito at sinuot ang singsing sa daliri ko, nakita ko ang pag tulo ng luha niya

"Bakit ka umiiyak?"

"Because I am so happy that you said yes."

"I love you, wife."
