EMMA
"I COULDN'T BELIEVE you gave me another chance, Emma," nang tignan ko si Damon ay sobrang seryoso ng mukha niya.
Nandito kami ngayon sa loob ng kotse niya. Hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala na nasa loob ako ng kotse niya pagkatapos ng dalawang taon. Hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala na binigyan ko siya ng chance kagabi. Pati ako hindi ko akalain na 'yon ang mangyayari. Sobra kasi talaga akong nagulat. Four years. Four years ng nasa kaniya 'yong letter na pinagpuyatan kong gawin noong naaksidente siya. Nahiya tuloy ako bigla kasi nalaman na talaga niyang patay na patay ako sa kaniya.
Malapit nang magtanghali at inaya ako ni Damon na mag-lunch sa bahay nila. Hindi ko akalain na after two years ay ganito ang mangyayari. Aminado naman akong sobra akong nasaktan sa bigla niyang pakikipaghiwalay sa 'kin at alam ko rin naman na nasaktan siya. Kung may isang bagay man na hindi naalis sa akin sa nakalipas na dalawang taon, 'yon ay ang umintindi. Tama rin naman siya. Alam
EMMA "I HATE YOU! It's fine with me if you call me an idiot if we're in a private place, but calling me idiot in public while I'm talking to a journalist is just so wrong. You are insane! Nahihiya ako." "I don't fucking care. You agreed to be my friend. Hindi kita pinipilit besides 'yang iniihi mo libo-libo ang halaga dahil mga inumin sa bar ko ang tinitira mong animal ka." "But still! That doesn't give you the right to call me an idiot!" "Ang ingay n'yong dalawa. May jetlag pa 'ko pero dumiretso ako rito dahil ang kulit ninyo. Ano ba'ng problema mo, Donovan? Parang endearment lang." "Ewan ko ba sa hinayupak na 'yan. Didn't you find it sweet?" Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang batuhin ng isang lalaki ng unan 'yong lalaking kulay ginto ang buhok at asul ang mga mata. "Sweet? Tangina ka ano'ng sweet doon? Masakit sa tainga!" "Napupuno na 'ko sa 'yo! Kung ayaw mong makipagkaibigan sa akin sabihin mo lang! Itigil na natin
EMMA "I'M SO THANKFUL to both of you for giving me a very beautiful girlfriend," ani Damon. Nginitian ko siya. Nakaupo kami rito sa damo habang nakaharap dito sa lapida ng parents ko. Nagpatuloy siya. "I have never imagined that I can commit to someone because honestly, I was a womanizer. I have never imagined that I can love someone deeply to the point I'm willing to do everything to change myself to have the right to your daughter. I am so sorry for hurting her. I made her cry. I made her feel like I no longer love her. I told her painful words she didn't even deserve to hear. I love her so much, and my biggest mistake was I pleaded her to stay with me no matter what happened. I pleaded her to support me for the betterment of our relationship. I didn't realize it was wrong. It was wrong to ask someone to be there beside you while you were still wounded because it was unfair. Hindi ko puwedeng hilingin na dapat nasa tabi ko siya habang inaayos ko ang sarili
EMMASOBRANG SAYA NG relasyon namin ni Damon. Makalipas ang tatlong buwan, mas lalo namin nakilala ang isa't-isa pero mas marami siyang nalaman tungkol sa akin. Na mahilig akong kumain ng sweets. Na sinasawsaw ko ang kahit anong ulam sa ketchup. Nandidiri nga siya nang ipakita ko sa kaniya 'yong dinuguan na sinawsaw ko sa ketchup.Masarap kaya!Pumunta kami sa bahay nila tita at ilang beses kaming nag-lunch doon. Sinermunan nga ni tita si Damon nang makipaghiwalay siya sa akin. Ito namang si Damon sorry nang sorry. Natatawa ako sa kanila. Pati si Jeanne sinermunan din si Damon. Wala namang nagawa si Damon kundi mag-sorry at mangako na gagawin niya ang lahat para makabawi.Ang haba ng hair ko, 'di ba?Nakakapunta na rin kami kahit saan. Hindi tulad noon na sa mall nila, resthouse niya, spa at beach niya pati sa restaurant lang nila. Ngayon, kahit saan namin g
EMMANANG TINGNAN KO si Damon ay seryoso lang siyang nakatingin kay Ana habang si Ana naman ay nakangisi sa kaniya. Nakakaakit 'yong ngiti niya at walang sabi-sabing lumapit siya kay Damon at hinawakan sa braso."Get your hands off of me," mahinang sabi ni Damon pero ramdam ko ang galit sa boses niya.Natawa lang si Ana. Lalo siyang gumanda ngayon."You're handsome again and you're still with that woman," tinuro pa niya ako."Are you following us, Ana?""Of course not! It's a coincidence! Lalo kang naging guwapo ngayon. Wanna have sex with me just like before?"Napalunok ako. Naiirita ako sa kaniya. Napakabulgar niyang magsalita. Alam ko naman na may ideya siya kung ano ang relasyon namin ni Damon sa isa't-isa pero kung makapagsalita siya akala niya wala ako sa harapan niya.Natawa si Damon sa kaniya. "Are you really a model? Because you sound like a sex maniac desperate to have a dick inside your pussy.""Ho
EMMANABABALIW NA YATA ako. Sobrang higpit ng hawak ko sa folder. Feeling ko anytime hihimatayin ako!Ngumiti si Ma'am Melanie sa akin. "So, engaged ka na pala?"Napalunok ako. Hindi ko talaga maintindihan. Hindi ko alam kung saan nila nakuha itong impormasyon na 'to. Hindi naman nag-propose sa akin si Damon!"Hindi po. This is not true. I'm in a relationship with Damon, but he is not proposing to me yet.""Really?" may kinuha siya sa bulsa ng slacks niya.Isang glossy pink na envelope. Maliit lang. Inabot niya sa akin."Ano po 'to?""Open it."Tinignan ko muna siya bago ko kunin ang nasa loob ng envelope at ganoon na lang ang gulat ko nang makitang wedding invitation pala ang nasa loob.Pangalan ko at ni Damon! May date, time at venue pa kung saan ang kasal! Ano ba 'tong nangyayari? Naguguluhan na ako!Mabilis kong tinignan si Ma'am Melanie. "Ma'am, I think this is a mistake. Hindi po siy
Damon's POVI TOOK A deep breath while I was standing here at the altar waiting for my beautiful bride to walk here inside.This was the day that I was about to become a husband. After years of hiding and fighting my past. After years of doubting myself. After years of fixing myself. After years of loving a very beautiful woman. Today, she was about to become my wife. We'd become as one. I was going to settle down with a woman who never give up on me. I can feel my heart beating so fast as I was looking outside the church.I was waiting for her. I want to see her so bad. I'd bet she was very beautiful with a lace long gown with sleeves that I bought for her when I was preparing our wedding. I smirked when I remembered her getting mad at me when she didn't know about my plan. Lagi na lang daw akong nagmamadali. Sobrang mahal ko kasi siya. I smiled when I remembered her react
Damon's POVWe headed to our own house. Dito ang reception ng kasal.We greeted everyone here who came to witness our magical moment as husband and wife. Nakaupo na kaming dalawa ni Emma rito sa isang mahabang mesa na may nakapatong na malaking cake. I'd like to have time with her right now. I've waited for this. I wanted to have her all myself, but we needed to entertain our guests first. Now, we will be hearing some people who were very close to us giving us wishes as husband and wife.Napatingin kami sa gitna nang maglakad si Donovan hanggang sa nakatayo na siya sa isang maliit na stage habang may hawak na wireless microphone."Hi, everyone! I'm so grateful that my brother has finally met the woman of his dreams. Hindi pa nga rin ako makapaniwala na kinasal na siya. Reminiscing the good ol' days, he has changed a lot and he owe it to Emma. I'm so happy that Emma has been patient to my brother. Hindi biro ang ginawa niyang pag-iintindi sa kapatid
Damon's POVNagulat siya sa sinabi ko pero ayoko na siyang marinig magsalita. Hinila ko siya papasok sa binili kong bahay namin hanggang sa umaakyat na kami sa hagdan."Magdahan-dahan ka naman sa pag-akyat. Baka matapilok ako."I held her in my arms until we were walking inside our room. I closed the door and put her down. Now, it was only me and her. Here inside this room. I didn't care if there were still people outside. The only thing I wanted to do right now was to claim her.Claim her body and soul.I roamed my eyes around her body and I can feel the tension. My body was aching for her."Emma," I whispered huskily.She looked at me and I can see how nervous she was but I noticed the undeniable desire in her eyes. I knew I was teasing her a kid, but I was sure she had an idea of what we were going to do right now. She was already 23.Mine and mine alone.I stepped forward and I caressed her cheek. I
