Partners in Crime

Chapter 48: Happy Ending?

Naalala ko ang mga nangyari kagabi. Tinignan ko ang singsing sa daliri ko.

It's very beautiful and elegant.

And how we made love last night is beyond perfect. It feels like the first night together.

Wala na talagang urungan toh, kahit bukas ay handa akong mag pakasal sa kanya.

I slowly stood up from bed. Nanatili lang akong nakaupo sa kama when I realized na wala siya sa tabi ko.

There's a bouquet of red roses sa side table with complete set of breakfast.

Agad kong kinuha ang bulaklak para basahin ang note nito.

"May aasikasuhin lang ako. I promised to be back this evening. Then tomorrow, You are going to be my official wife. I LOVE YOU"

I made a meaningful smile at kumuha ng isang bulaklak sa bouquet.

He's always the sweetest.

"Aaw" Napangiwi ako ng matusok ako sa isa sa mga thorns ng bulaklak. I saw my index finger bleeding, so I immediately grab the table napkin from the tray.

But my shoulder moved up and I was shocked to realized na nabasag ko ang baso ng gatas.

I stared on it for a few seconds.

Then I jumped out of the bed para linisin ang mga nagkalat na piraso ng baso.

Later on, someone knocked on the door. I think it's Manong Rey. He might have heard
noise.

Pinuntahan ko na lang ang pinto para pag buksan siya.

"Okay lang ho kayo ma'am?" I just nodded at halata mo ang pag aalala sa itsura ng matanda.

"Everything was fine. Nasagi ko lang po yung baso." And then I tried to smile.

"Ako na ho bahala na linisin yun ma'am baka masugatan pa kayo."

And since he insisted, kaya hinayaan ko na lang si Manong na pumasok para linisin ang kalat.

Suddenly, I felt strange.

Ayoko mag isip ng hindi maganda.

First, natusok ako sa rose tapos nabasag ko ang baso. Wag naman sana.

Stop thinking stupid things Sidney!

Caleb's POV

I was done with my resto, and now I have packed some of my things in this condo.

I am serious of marrying her as soon as possible. But I have to fix everything first, lalo na ang mga kakailanganin namin sa kasal.

We left without anything in our pockets. Naubusan na ko ng cash at bihira naman ang my credit card terminal sa province.

I don't care even if we live a simple life. As long as she's with me. Wala ng mas peperpekto pa doon.

*Ding Dong!*

My head faced the direction of my door. I was actually expecting someone. Una kong tinawagan si Jake para ibalik ang kotse niya and to let him handle my business.

I checked the time and it's already 4:35 in the afternoon.

I need to hurry. Baka mag alala sakin si Sidney, and besides I can't wait to be with her.

Mabilis akong nag lakad patungo sa pintuan. I'm very sure that this is my best buddy. Wala naman ibang nakakaaalam na nasa Manila ako ngayon.

My parents are currently having a board meeting together with the Quimondae's. Sinigurado ko talagang busy sila at walang ibang oras para sa araw na ito.
