Missing You Ms. Lopez

Part 36

"Mahirap umasa ulit Eeian. Hoping that things will get better, wounded hearts will be healed, pain will fade away. Those things are killing me inside. Lalo na't alam ko na sa huling araw na magkasama kami, hindi parin kami ni Princess ang pipiliin niya."

"At least you've tried bhe. At least you will have memories together that will forever be treasured. Kaya bhe, give yourself a try. Take this chance as the last thing that you'll ever do to prove yourself. To prove that you're more than worthy to be loved by him. Malay natin, sa ganitong paraan ka pa pala mas magiging masaya. " I embraced her tightly like I don't wanna let her go. But I need to. I need to let her go kasi hindi naman talaga siya sakin.

"Akala mo ba hindi ko alam na nasasaktan ka dahil sakin? Bakit mo ba kailangan gawin to kahit sobra ka nang nasasaktan?"

"Kasi sa tingin ko mas magiging masaya ka sa kanya. Kasi alam kong sa kanya ka lang talaga sasaya. And if he rejects you the second time around, sisiguraduhin kong pagsisisihan niya ang hindi pagpili sa iyo. Sa inyo ni Princess." Agad akong kumalas sa pagkakayakap at tinitigan siya sa mga mata.

"Don't worry about being hurt bhe. This time, you have to go and grab this opportunity. Trust me, he would never come here kung wala na siyang nararamdaman. " Litong lito siyang tumitig sa akin. She's more like scared and worried.

"Pero Eeian.... "

"I can handle myself bhe. Tsaka palagi lang naman akong nandito para sa inyo ni Princess. I'll be fine bhe.. Go..." I said while gently pressing my lips on her forehead at tsaka tinawagan ang isa kong driver para ihatid sa Manila si Queen.

(Sxhan's POV)

I can't believe that Eeian pushed me away that easily. He's too good to be hurt pero bakit mas pinipili niyang mas masaktan nalang? I know that I don't deserve him. Kahit may nagawa man siyang mali sa akin, but still hindi sya nagkulang sa pagmamahal at pag-aalaga sa amin ni Princess. If he is thinking na makakabawi siya sa mga kasalanang nagawa niya by pushing me to Adrian, it won't work kasi ako pa ang dapat na bumawi sa kanya. He've done more than enough and it hurts me seeing him hurt.

I dialled Nika's digits para ibalita sa kanya ang nangyari. I just can't let this slip away.

Calling Nika

She immediately answered my call pagkatapos ng dalawang ring.

"Yes sis? How was Batangas?" she asked.

"I'm on my way to Manila ngayon sis. Eeian changed my schedule."

"Why? Nag-away ba kayo?"
I heaved a sigh.

"No, we didn't. Basta I'll tell you about it later. By the way, how was my daughter?"

"Si pamangkin sissy? She's okay naman pero nung nakaraang dalawang gabi lang, she keep on saying that you'll be home soon kasi sabi daw ng daddy Adrian niya na he will bring you back to Manila. Di ko nga maintindihan kung bakit ganoon ang sinasabi ni Princess eh.. " Tsk! Pati pala anak ko ginagamit niya just to let me come back. What is he planning to?

"I know Princess won't tell him those words. I already started avoiding him tapos ngayon gagamitin niya si Princess? What the heck is he doing?" Pagmamaktol ko while tightening a grip on my phone.

"Baka gusto niyang bumawi sa inyo sissy. Baka nagi-guilty siya kasi malapit na siyang maikasal pero hindi pa kayo nagkaroon ng oras bilang pamilya."

"Tsk! We never became a family. Even at once Nikz, he shouldn't do this things dahil iilang araw nalang ikakasal na siya.   If it wasn't because of him, I wouldn't be travelling back to Manila right now.. " I replied as I asked her to hang up the call kasi nakakapagod at nakaka-stress na talaga mag-isip ngayon.

Halos ilang oras din ang aking binyahe dahil narin sa tumagal pa ang traffic. I feel so exhausted that I wanted to immediately lie down to bed pagkarating ko ng bahay.

"Mommy?? " dinig kong sambit ng anak ko ng mapansin niya akong pumasok sa pintuan ng bahay.

"Mommy!!! Mommy! You're back!" My daughter cheered joyously. Sinalubong niya ako ng isang napakahigpit na yakap at napakatamis na mga halik.

"Daddy's right mommy.. Daddy's right po that you're going home..." She said with a happy tone.

"What did your Daddy tell you Princess?"

"He said po that you'll be staying here soon po Mommy.."

"Did you tell him anything?"

"I told him that I miss you po mommy, and that you're working with Daddy Eeian for our future po." I pat my daughters head and kissed her on her cheeks tsaka siya niyakap ng mahigpit.

"Mom misses you so much anak..." I whispered.

"I miss you more po Mommy. I'm glad that you're here na po.." she said. I kissed her forehead and excused myself para makapagpahinga na muna.
