His Redemption

The love that she's afraid to try.

Paside-story muna ulit mga bes. You can skip this kung ayaw niyo. Basta iuupdate ko to! charot! :))

"Happy birthday Mon Amour. Are you cooking up there for this day? Namimiss ko na yung mga luto mo. I wished you are still here my love. Ang tagal na since nangyari yung aksidenteng yun at kahit naiganti na kita hindi pa din nababawasan yung bigat sa loob ko. Palagi ko pa din naiisip yung mga what ifs. Yung kung hindi siguro yun nangyari baka may apo na tayo ngayon. Alam kong kung hindi ka nawala ay malamang tayo pa din ngayon. I always imagine myself growing old with you. Hindi ko kasi nakikita ang sarili Kong magmamahal ng iba maliban sayo. Kaya nga naiinis ako sakanya he is very persistent and slowly breaking the barriers that I built around me. Pero wag kang magselos ha. Ikaw at ikaw pa din yung nandito wala din naman pupuntahan yung nararamdaman niya for me dahil magkaiba kami.

O enough na nga at baka nakasimangot kana diyan. Bawal magsungit diyan sa heaven. Happy birthday again my love."

I opened my eyes and blow the black forest cake infront of me after reciting my message to Erwann in my head. I am in a coffee and pastry shop here in Katipunan and just like my yearly ritual I am celebrating his birthday here. I don't wanna be alone kapag dumadating tong araw na to kaya. I usually spend this day sa lugar na napapaligiran ako ng mga tao kahit na hindi ko sila kakilala.

Erwann is my fiancé before I became a vampire. And that was like 50 years ago. I had a perfect life back then separated yung mom and dad ko pero they are always there for us. I have two younger siblings a boy and a girl. I am surrounded by people who loves me kapatid, parents, bestfriends, and a loving fiance. But one fateful night took everything away from me.

50 years ago...

"Happy birthday Anne!" masayang bati sakin nang mga kaibigan ko.
We are celebrating my 24th birthday in a club here in Sydney.

"Thank you guys! Thank you for everything." Hindi ko kasi ineexpect that they prepared a small party for me. According to them last year ko na din kasing magbibirthday na single kaya they wanna make it special.

"Here's to more wasted nights together even after you get married. So shot, shot! You old thing!" masiglang offer ng toast ni Solenn. Sister ni Erwann and is a din sa close friends ko. Actually wala pa yata kaming sampu dito sa mini party nila. Hindi nila sinama si Erwann kasi parang pa bridal shower na daw nila to sakin.

Lumipas ang gabi and we all decided na umuwi na dahil magmamadaling-araw na. I was surprised to see Erwan waiting for me outside the bar.

"Hey what are you doing here?" nakangiting tanong ko matapos humalik sa pisngi niya.

"Time to go home now Cinderella." aniya and he even gestured his watch.

Natawa ako at bahagya ko siyang hinampas sa braso.

"Shall we?" masuyong yaya niya bago ako inakay sa sasakyan niya nang tumango ako.

Hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti na parang baliw sa ginawa niya. Ang swerte ko lang talaga sa lalaking to. He never fails to make me feel important. At hindi ko na yata maiiwasang maimagine ang future ko na wala siya. And with that thought I knew I am making the right decision when I agreed to marry him.

He opened the car door for me pero bago pa siya makalayo ay hinila ko yung kwelyo niya and kissed him fully on the lips. I felt him smiled before he answer my kiss. The kiss lasted for a minute pero siya na din yung kusang bumitaw. "Save that for later you little tease." aniya bago ako masuyong hinalikan sa noo. I nodded while in my head wala akong naiisip kundi kung gaano ako kaswerte na at the age of twenty four I finally found my other half.
