The Billionaire's Revenge (Completed)

Epilogue

Alam ko kung para saan ang hinihingi nitong patawad. She was very sorry about what she had done to Beth. Matagal bago ko siya napatawad. Ilang buwan din ang lumipas bago ko siya kinausap. Ayaw ko talaga siyang kausapin habang may kinikimkim akong galit sa kanya. Hindi naman siya nagpumilit pero patuloy ito sa paghingi ng sorry. She always cooked me with my favorites at naglalagay ito ng note.

Umiling ito. "Parang hindi ko pa kaya. Malaki ang naging kasalanan ko sa kanya. Malaki ang ihingi ko ng tawad sa kanya. I was so ruthless and irrational. I only wanted to protect you but it was turned out I was being irrational. I was keeping you away from your happiness."
Saad nito habang namamasa ng luha ang mga mata.

Ilang beses na kaming nag-usap tungkol dito pero pag-aamin niya sa amin, nahihirapan siyang magpatawad sa sarili nito.
Nakita nito kong papano kami nasawak ni Beth sa ginawa niya. Kung paano kami naghirap. And she was very sorry to it.

Alam kong napatawad na siya ni Beth, pero ang guilty na nararamdaman niya ay hindi maalis-alis.

"Hush ma, kung hindi mo pa talaga kaya, ay unti-untiin nating bawasan hanggang sa tuluyang mawala at mapatawad mo rin ang sarili mo, Okay?"

Saad ko sa kanya at hinalikan siya sa pisngi.
"Don't worry about it for now. It is your day today, with papa. You should enjoy, okay?"

"Is she being emotional again?"
Lumingon ako kay papa at tumango. "Yes, pa. She's being guilty again."

"Nah, honey. Beth is a good person. Alam mong napatawad kana niya. Even myself, I asked for her forgiveness and we know napatawad niya ako, tayo. So stop crying now."
Humalik  si papa sa noo nito.

"Are you okay now?"
Tanong ko kay mama at tumango naman ito.

Humarap ako sa lahat ng tao at kinuha ang atensyon nila.
"Okay listen up everybody!" Agad naman silang bumaling sa akin at ibinigay ang atensyon nila.
"As we all know, today is my parent's anniversary. Another year added to their union as one. In the past years of our lives, it was like a disaster, I may say. We went so much ups and downs that challenged our faith and trust with each other, and with Almighty God.
There was so much pain that could have drowned us if we did not hold each other's hands. Pains and despair that could have eaten us alive into darkness if without someone holding our hands giving us hope and to stay awake. We need someone beside us. We need each other to look after of our backs. Some of us are lucky who already found that someone, some are not. "And I'm lucky to have that someone to be at my side and to look after my back. And they are my family. My parents and my sister. I'm thankful that they are with me in those times of pains and in darkness. Though there were had some conflicts, hindi ito naging sagabal para mas lalo namin makilala ang isa't-isa at maging matatag na pamilya."
