(Adrian's POV)
Napanaginipan ko na naman siya. I can't imagine how will I look like kung totoo man ang napapanaginipan ko. Sabi naman nila kabaliktaran ng panaginip ang mangyayari sa katotohanan, and there's no harm kung maniniwala ako dun diba?
"Hi hon, Good Morning." pambungad ni Bianca then gave me a kiss on my cheek.
"Good morning too hon... How's your day?" I asked her.
"Nah.. it's really tiring but I'm okay now... Alam mo namang ikaw lang ang nakapag-papawala ng stress ko..." I grinned as a response.
"Hahaha, lalaki na naman yang tenga mo...
By the way, we're going to meet Mom and Dad later hon.
I'm sorry I forgot to tell you about that coz I was pre-occupied with what I'm thinking.." She added.
"Ano ba yang gumugulo sa utak mo Bianx?" I asked.
"Ayoko kasi ma-move yung engagement party natin hon.. Eh kasi naman 'tong business party sasabay pa talaga sa engagement party natin, kelangan pa tuloy natin mag-re-schedule.. Tskk!"
"Let it happen hon... Okay lang naman sa akin na ma-move yun hon ehh.. besides, I'm so sure na matutuloy din yung engagement natin." I winked at her.
"Thanks hon.. kasi naman kung kelan excited na ako sa engagement, dun pa maka-cancel." Pagmamaktol pa niya.
"If you really want it to happen ASAP, paano kung isabay nalang din natin dun sa business party, tutal merging of companies parin naman yun hon.." I suggested.
"Eeiihhh... Ayoko nun hon.. I want an engagement that is centered only sa ating dalawa.. I want this engagement to be one of the best days of my life.." She pouted.. How cute..
"Fine, fine... You're the boss, right? " she nodded.
"Now wait for me here and I'll change para makauwi na tayo.. nakakahiya sa parents mo kung male-late tayo ng dating." I added.
"Okay hon.. Well then, bilisan mo na at baka ma-late nga tayo.."
After changing my suit, tumungo muna kami sa bahay nina Bianca for her to change.
She's my one and only now..
Now, kasi hindi siya ang past ko.. Now, kasi siya na ang mahal ko and I'm more than willing to spend my life with her, Forever..
Phone's Ringing..
"Yes?" I answered the call.
"Bro, kamusta?" he asked.
"Fine... I'll meet Bianca's parents this evenkng.. Why care doing a call?" I asked in a bored tone.
"Whoah Adrian, ba't ganyan ka naman makapagsalita sa bestfriend mo?
Mag-aasawa ka na ba talaga?" sunod sunod niyang tanong.
"Jeff, if you don't have something important to tell me, just call me later when I'm done with my dinner, 'kay?"
"Sigurado ka na ba jan Adrian?"
"Look Jeff, kung ii-insist mo parin siya, better let her stay out of the picture kasi alam mo Jeff, I already moved on...I loved her but it's time naman siguro na sumaya ako diba?
I can't bring her back, we can't bring her back and no one can ever bring her back."
"I'm sorry bro, it's just that you gave up on her easily.." he said hopelessly..
"No Jeff, I haven't... can't you just spare me this happiness I would have for the rest of my life? She's dead ...matagal na and we all know that..
I already moved on Jeff, so please sana kayo rin.."
"Tsk.tsk.tsk.. sorry bro..
I-I j-just dreamed of her last night..I'm sorry for being rude asking you about your decisions at... haaaaaayyy...
Best wishes bro.." then he neded the call...
'Ba't napapanaginipan kita?
Ba't napanaginipan ka rin ni Jeff?
Schiara, is this some kind of warning?
Anong warning naman? Could you please just be happy for me? Minahal naman kita, but I needed someone to be by my side too... You know how much I love you..
Schiara, give me a clue..' I thought..
I heaved a sigh as I brushed my hair with my fingers.
"I shouldn't think about that either..
Maybe that dream bothers me now, but I'm perfectly fine Schiara, I'm fine with Bianca now coz I learned to move on and I learned to live without you..
Past na kita Schiara, and whatever happened to my past couldn't tell what my future would hold...
and it's you that is my past who couldn't tell what my future would be... kasi iniwan mo ako...
you left me all alone...
Alone in this world full of pretentions and secrets..
That's why I'm choosing Bianca to be with me in the future,.. Just please don't bother me anymore.." I muttered ..
I patiently waited for Bianca at the living room para narin makaalis na kami agad to meet her parents... My soon-to-be parents as well.
(Jeff's POV)
"Napakadali niya namang lumimot Jeff..
What did that Bianca do bakit ganun nalang niya kung i-neglect lahat ng sasabihin mo tungkol kay Sxhan..? *sob*sob* If I know baka ginayuma siya nung babaeng yun..." Nika kept on crying as I tap her shoulders...
"Baka naman talaga naka-move on na siya Nika... You know that the incident happened 5 years ago.. " I told her.
"Yes yun na nga eh... it just happened 5 years ago Jeff. I witnessed how he loves Sxhan more than anything else.. he even forgiven Sxhan kahit noong iniwan siya ni Sxhan diba?
How could he just forget Sxhan that easily? " She kept on murmuring with her voice sobbing.
"Maybe he's really into moving on from that incident Nika... he might want to forget the tragic death of Sxhan..
di na natin mababago kung ano man ang desisyon niya ngayon.. even his parents can't fpece him not to get married.."
"Why?? They're just 6 months in a relationship and that wasn't a serious one... Bianca knows na pinili lang siya ni Adrian just because she reminds him of Sxhan dahil sa pagkakapareha nila..
Ganun ganun nalang ba talaga niya kadaling palitan ang ilang taong pinagsamahan at pagmamahalan nila ni Sxhan? It's so lame Jeff.... lame! "
"Kahit ano pang sabihin natin, masama man o hindi, we know that we can't turn back time Nika.. Baka talagang gusto lang ni Adrian na makapag-step forward at mabuhay ng may sariling pamilya.. He was hurt before, alam naman natin yun eh.. and if marrying Bianca would make him happy and contented, we'll just let him do what he want Nika... We can do nothing to change his mind..." I hugged her tightly as she keep on sobbing..
"C'mon.. Let's just visit Sxhan.." I mumbled..
Nika and I immediately drive our way to Sxhan... To where Sxhan was burried.
When we arrived there, agad na pumunta si Nika sa graveyard ni Sxhan and squealed.
"Hoy! babae! Ba't ang unfair mo? *sob* Ba't mo *sob* hinayaang mapunta *sob* nalang siya sa *sob* bruhang yun? Sxhan! Bumangon ka nga *sob* jan!! " She pouted her lips habang lumuluha..
"Alam mo *sob* ni-reject ka niya? *sob* I thought *sob* he loves you *sob* that much *sob* pero ang babaw * sob* niya.. ang babaw *sob* naman ng *sob* reason niya.
Marrying *sob* the woman he *sob* just dated a few months *sob* ago? That *sob* sucks Sxhan *sob* ... f*ckin' sucks *sob*sob*sob* I hate it! If *sob* I know, gina- *sob* yuma lang *sob* siya nung babaeng *sob* yun." She added. I tapped her shoulders and just let her express her feelings through shedding her tears as I wiped it away from her lovely face.
"Just let him be, Nika... Yun na yung desisyon niya ngayon.. di na natin mababali pa yun.. " I told her.
