Second Half - Epilogue

Second Half – Epilogue

Hindi alam ni Uryll kung saan ibabaling ang tingin. He is so nervous. Pakiramdam niya, lalabas ang mga bituka niya dahil sa sobrang nakakabaliw na kaba. Ngayon lang ulit siya nakaramdam ng ganito. The last time was when he confessed.

Mahina siyang napapapadyak dala na rin ng nakakalokong ngiti ng Papa ni Nathalia na si Isiah. Mahina siya nitong tinatawanan dahil kanina pa siya hindi mapakali sa kinauupuan niya.

"Why are you so worked up?" tanong sa kanya ni Isiah.

"I'm nervous as hell." Sagot nito at binalingan ng tingin. "Do you think she's ready for this?" Tanong niya sa ama ng babaeng mahal niya.

Isiah shrugged and patted him in the back, "She may be young—well, for me—but I know she's ready to say yes to you. My daughter is so in love with you Uryll, alam kong alam mo na ang takbo ng isip niya."

Today is the day that he'll propose to her.

Mahigit apat na taon na rin sila ni Nathalia at malapit na silang umalis sa Worthwood Academy. Matagal na silang nasa tamang edad kaya wala ng mawawala pa kung gagawin niya ito ng ngayon. Eto ang isang bagay na sa tingin niya ay napakatamang gawin sa buong buhay niya.

He'll bet his life for this.

Mga anim na buwan na rin niyang pinag-isipan ang gagawin niyang proposal. Nang dahil sa pagiging kabado niya, naiyak siya sa harapan ng Papa ni Nathalia tatlong buwan na ang nakakaraan. Tinawanan siya nito. Kalaunan ay tinulungan siya sa mga dapat niyang gawin.

Both of their families were very supportive. Halos magpapiyesta si Stan nang malaman niya ang gagawin ng kapatid. He even presented to do all the work for the set-up. He can't say no because he freaking threatened him.

"I'm still nervous. Baka kasi—"

"Ano ba! Anak ko iyon Uryll, alam ko rin ang takbo ng isip niya. She'd never say no to you. Kung hindi rin pala kayo hahantong sa kasalanan, aba dapat matagal ka na niyang iniwan at nag hanap ng iba. Why would she put up with you for so long if she's not gonna say yes in the end?"

May point si Isiah.

Uryll only nodded in return.

She'll never say no. Alam niya iyon. She'll say yes to me and she'll freaking marry me.

Tumawa na naman ang Papa ni Nathalia. Alam niyang nabasa na naman nito ang inisiip niya.

"Kumalma ka nga. Baka maihi ka mamaya."

Napapikit ang mga mata niya. He's imagining a lot of possible scenarios later. Kinakabahan talaga siya at walang kahit anong salita man ang makakapakalma sa kanya.

Whatever it takes, he'll do anything to make Nathalia say yes to him.

Hook or by crook, Nathalia will soon be Nathalia Hutchinson. She will marry me. And maybe soon enough, she'll be a mother to his children.­
