"Let's go" i said to Aries tumango naman sya saakin. I hold his wrist at sabay na naglakad papunta sa loob.
"Dad, is my mom beautiful?" He innocently ask. I smile bitterly to myself while remembering her features. "Yes, she's beautiful. She haves a long lashes like you, thin red lips, a long wavy black hair, a perfect curves and of course a perfect features like you now"
I said to him, tumango naman sya. "How my mom makes you fall in love dad?" He said i stop from walking and starts flashing back our memories.
"You know Aries, your mom is not my first love, she's not the first woman who made me feel special who made me fall in love. But now that you're asking how your mom makes me fall in love to her then i will tell you" i said tumango naman sya at ngumiti saakin.
Nang makarating na kami sa loob ay umupo kami sa bench na tanaw ang liwanag sa umaga. "Once upon a time, your Lola Emelia takes me on a Arrange Merrage to strangers. Well nuong una ayaw ko, not that ayaw kong matali sa kung sino..
..but to the woman i love and i want to spend my life with, the time passed quickly at nagkita na kami. I hate her, dahil pumayag sya saaking magpakasal kahit alam kong ayaw nya din sa deal na ito pero pumayag parin sya...
...the first time i saw her, i feel like i saw an Angel. She's very beautiful lalo na with her innocent features. Pero pinigilan ko, i don't wanna be attracted to her. No choice kaming dalawa ng ipalipat sya ni Mom ng tinitirahan at makasama kami sa iisang bahay. It's awkward to us pero wala parin kaming nagawa kundi ang sumunod...
...i am shocked before when i saw how many luggages she will transfer to my penthouse. It's so many, 3 luggages and One hand bag. I thought it's just her clothes and girly things but i am wrong. Napansin ko noon na it's all weapon when i bought it. Lalo pa akong nanghinala dahil kumuha pa sya ng isang penthouse imbis na sumama saakin...
...i have a bad feeling about her, lalo na nuong malaman kong may boyfriend pala sya but she will still continue our wedding. The thought of her cheating to me with her boyfriend when we are married is not acceptable so i make a move. A move to get her...
...until we get married, I thought i will not happy to her hands but i am wrong. I am happy as fuck when she is in my side. Pero lalo akong naghinala nuong paalis-alis sya with her reasons na lalabas lang sya kasama ang kaibigan nya so i tried to investigate to her...
...pinaimbistigahan ko sya sa family investigator namin which is your mom's older brother. I don't know that pero simula duon nagkagulo-gulo na ang buhay naming dalwa ng mommy mo. I found out that she's Tiana Ramirez, the first woman i loved naniwala ako sakanya, i trusted every words she's telling dahil ganuon ko sya kamahal. I am very happy that time ng malaman kong iisa ang minamahal ko..
..but it's suddenly fades when she admited that it's all a lie. And after that she pulled the trigger to my body. After that, i am always following that nightmare that i wish that it's just a dream pero hindi, totoo parin. After years, i just saw myself without nothing...
.. I'm a mess, the known billionaire back then is now poor as rat. How fucked up! At dahil duon napilitan ko ulit i-try. Humingi ako ng tulong kay Mica. She's the most known lawyer in the town dahil sa galing nya. I beg to your tita, until pumayag sya. I am so happy that time hanggang sa bumalik na saakin ang lahat...
...ganun din ang mommy mo saakin, she voluntary back to me that makes me so happy. But again, all of that fades when i knew something to her. She's just used me, she fooled me again all of the things she do with me is just an act! I am angry that time kaya napalayas ko sya without knowing she's pregnant that time..
...sising-sisi ako noon lalo na nuong nalaman ko na nahabol sya ng nga hunahabol sakanya. Your Tito Jonathan punched me many times that time dahil sa galit na tinanggap ko ng buong puso and after that we started searching for her...
...hanggang sa mahanap ko sya sa isang abandunadong warehouse. Madaming nagtulong-tulong sakanya para pabagsakin sya. So i make a move nagputok ako ng baril na nagpabigay ng atensyon nila at dahil dyaan naitakas ko ang mommy mo..
...akala ko makakaalis na kami duon ny ligtas pero hindi, i just saw someone attacking to her hindi ko sya magawang maprotektahan noon dahil may lumalaban din saakin noon..
...hanggang sa isang putok ng bala napunta ang atensyon ko. I saw her looking at me with a weak smile to her face habang may luhang tumutulo sakanyang muka dahan-dahan akong napatingin sa katawan nya at duon lalo ako nasisi when i saw her chest full of blood at duon ka nag exist, Aries"
I said to him at napalingon sakanya, he's looking to me with a serious eyes like how her mother looked to me. "Why there are people wants my mom to suffer dad?" He asked again innocently. I smile to him and pat his head.
"Because she's an Agent, madami nang nakapag bagong buhay ng dahil sakanya. Like me, i am her mission back then kaya kami nagkakilala kaya sya pumayag na magpakasal saakin dahil may mission sya"
Napakunot noo naman saakin si Aries. "What mission it is dad?"
"To make me fall for her and then... TO BROKE MY HEART" i said as i remember it again. "That's her mission?" He asked tumango naman ako sakanya. "Did she do it successfully?" Napangiti ako ng mapait sa tanong nya.
"Y-yes, she's always successful to that. I remember how many times she succeed TO BROKE MY HEART back then. Pero kahit anong gawin nya hindi ko magawang iwan sya. I loved her with all my heart, but.. she just broke my heart"
I felt some tears falling to my eyes dali-dali ko naman itong pinunasan. "So by that, you find someone who is willing to love you again without broking your heart?" Halatang may galit at pait ang boses ni Aries ng banggitin nya ito.
"Yes, nothing is permanent Aries always remember that. All of what you have, what you are with, who love you, and who you love will left you in the end. Kahit ang damdamin Aries, naglalaho. Please understand me with this Aries. I love her" i explain to him pero lumihis lang sya ng tingin.
"Let's just go. I want to see my mom" he said coldly to me at nauna nang tumayo sa pagkakaupo namin sa bench at pumasok na sa loob ng bahay kung saan nanduon ang kanyang nanay.
I sighed heavily. I wish he understands what i am talking about. Aries Guieveroes, is a 7 year old boy na anak namin ni Laniee bago sya mawala. He haves Laniee's features na talagang tuwing titingin ako sakanya lagi ko syang naalala.
Tumayo na rin ako at sumunod na sakanya papasok sa loob ng bahay. I saw Aries putting the White Roses we bought at nilagy ito isa-isa sa puntod na nanduon.
While i am here just watching him. Duon naka libing ang tatlong mahahalagang babae sa buhay ko. Tiana, Laniee, and mommy. Nakita kong nagsindi sya ng kandila sa puntod ng mommy nya.
I sighed heavily at naglakad na papalabas when a hand suddenly hold on my shoulders. Napangiti ako ng makita sya. "What took you so long?" I asked her at pinagisa ang aming mga daliri bago maglakad papalayo sa bahay kung nasaan ang puntod ng tatlo.
"May nagbanggaan pa kasi sa highway nag traffic so yaan na late ako. Sorry naman" she said i just laugh to her at napailing. Hindi ko akalain matapos ng mangyari sa buhay ko, sakanya lang pala ang bagsak ko.
"You know Elter i am already hungry. Ang tagal kasi nung hearing namin kanina nagugutom ako" she hissed i hold my hand to her waist at nagpatuloy kami sa paglalakad papalayo.
"Okay, where my Mica wants to eat?" I ask ng may malambing na tono.
"Hmm, Golly Resto nalang, you know I'm craving for the pizza there" she said i chuckled. "Okay, wherever your happy" i said. "Tss, niloloko mo nanaman ako eh" she hissed annoyingly i laugh. "No of course, i love you" panglalambing ko.
"Hmmp, i love you too" at umalis na kami.
Life is full of surprises that you don't even have a clue what will happen next to your life, where you will live your life with. Don't expect from what you want.
Because that will not happen in the end. Like me, hindi ko inaasahan na kay Mica lamang pala ang bagsak ko matapos sa nangyari. It's funny then but it's now acceptable.
Nothings permanent, so you need to be ready.
