Chapter 35: Don't Say It, 'Coz You'll Definitely Break My Heart

He laughs. And for the first time, I saw one tiny drop of tear roll down his cheek.

"So princess, will you be that person for me? Will you marry me?"

I can feel his hands shaking. Now my vision's blurred. Parang kanina lang akala ko iiwan na niya ako. Hindi na kami magkikita ulit. Tapos ngayon, he wants me to be there for him... with him... up to his last breath.

Tumango ako.  Tapos naglabas siya ng isang white string. "Sorry princess. I'm not prepared." Sabi niya habang tinatali na pa ribbon yung string sa daliri ko.

Tumayo siya and I kissed him. I feel like my heart's going to explode if I don't do that. I kiss him with all my heart. And he promised to get me a better ring in between our kisses.

When we stopped, we look into each other's eyes... I feel his love and I sense his fear.  "I don't want to go." he whispered.

And I don't want him to. So for the nth time.. "You still have the 1 000 000 miles options."

He laughs. Seryoso kaya ako dun! He brushed his lips onto mine. "I have to leave now princess. Sleep sound tonight. See you in my dreams."

With another kiss in the forehead, he left. San ka naman nakakita na after ng proposal, aalis yung lalaki? Kami lang yan. Hehehe.

Pumasok na ko sa bahay the moment his car's out of sight and I saw the MIB crying.

Whoa! Teka! NAKITA NILA??!

OH NOOO!!!

Oo nga pala, naalala ko. Waaahh! Biglang nahagip ng paningin ko si Ed. He's not crying. No emotion on his eyes. And I never expect anything from him.

Tss. Panira! Pumasok na ko and I walk right past the MIB and Ed. Then I saw my mother. Nasa sofa siya.

"Princess." She said. Tumayo siya at lumapit. Yayakap sana pero lumayo ako. Masisisi niyo ba ko? Masama ba sumama ang loob? "I'm worried about you..." At halata naman na nag-aalala nga siya. Pero may pake ba'ko?

"Talaga?" I asked. My voice is as cold as ice. I don't want to ruin this oh so beautiful day, so I walked past through her papunta sa hagdan.

"Princess. Do you really have to act that way?" Lumingon ako. I saw Jacob three steps lower.

"What way, Jacob?" I asked with the same coldness.

"Nag-alala kami sa'yo." sabi niya. Again...  I don't want ruin this day...

"Kung papagalitan niyo ko, save it for tomorrow. I don't want anyone to ruin this day for me, Okay?" Tapos dumiretso na ko sa kwarto ko. I closed the door, pumunta sa banyo and then SHOOT! Nakadisguise pa pala ako?! Bakit ngayon ko lang napansin.

Tsk! Potek! Agad-agad kong tinanggal yung wig tapos yung coat. OK. Nagpalit na talaga ako ng damit. Pantulog na. Yung mga pinang-disguise ko? Tiniklop ko, Then may nahulog sa bulsa nung coat.

Pagpulot ko... tickets...

Tickets dun sa amusement park na pinuntahan namin kanina. Napangiti ako just remembering what happened. Finally I can say that my life is SO DAMN AWESOME, ofcourse minus the IMPRISONMENT. Tinago ko yung tickets, pati yung pang-disguise ko sa isang box sa loob ng dresser ko. Kung sa'n ko tinago yung kapares ng sapatos na ipinangbato ko kay Dominic.

Paglabas ko sa walk-in closet ko, nandun si Ed. Nakatayo. His eyes looking at me.

"Anong ginagawa mo sa kwarto ko ha?"

"Bukas yung pinto, so I come in."

"Hindi ako ulyanin. I remember closing the door."

Pero he ignored me and instead he said, "Tinakot mo ko..."

I stared at him wide eyed. "TINATAKOT MO KO ED. Ano bang problema mo?"

"Myself."

"Yun naman pala eh. Eh bakit mo ko dinadamay?"

Lumakad ako papalapit sa kama ko, pero bago pa man ako makarating dun bigla na lang niya  ko niyakap.

"Don't do that again. If you only knew how scared I am.."
