Tell Me Who I'll Marry

Chapter 9

I feel like floating, as my heart keeps on pumping in its abnormal beat.

He caressed my face as his lips rose for a genuine smile.

Those smiles that I never saw for how many years.

Damn, I am melting.

"I missed you, wife-"

"Daddy!"

I was caught-off-guard when a little boy came in the picture.

He is running towards our way with his cheering adorable smile.

Tila naguluhan ako nang salubungin ito ni Crucian nang isang mahigpit na yakap.

"Baby."

He kissed his cheeks and pinch his nose.

W-Wait-

H-He h-has a s-son?

Confused of everything, I looked at him.

He gave me a smile.

I pushed myself to return that smile but I just gave a fake one.

I was shocked when I met her eyes.

D-Damn, she looks gorgeous.

She's now a fine and stunning woman as she ever is.

She's smiling from ear to ear that made her more beautiful.

She's walking so proud, as people around turned their heads just to look at her.

An undeniable head-turner.

"Hi, Gazini. It's nice to see you again."

I awkwardly smile.

"Uhm, H-Hello."

I said while my toes are trembling.

"Mommy!"

Suddenly the little boy hugged her feet.

Damn, he's so adorable.

Angela lift him up, as the little boy pull Crucian towards his Mommy.

What a nice picture of a happy family.

My heart instantly broke into pieces.

Oo nga pala, ikinasal na siya sa iba.

And seems like they already built their own family.

Ang sakit pala.

Masakit pa rin pala.

Masakit sa part ko kasi, mukhang masaya ka na.

Samantalang ako, nakakulong pa rin sa nakaraan na kung saan mayroong ikaw at ako.

Ang tanga ko, kasi ikaw pa rin kahit hindi na ako.

I made my step away from them.

Without them noticing, I walked away.

My tears started to fall because of pain.

I keep on asking myself.

Why is it so hard for you to move-on?

I think, it is because I always begone myself into things that aren't for me.

Crucian doesn't belong into my arms but I still fit myself into that little space in his heart.

I pity myself.

Tumakbo ako papunta sa banyo, and luckily walang tao rito.

I looked at the mirror and saw how awful he made me feel.
