Wakas

Angelica

Walter and I spent our remaining days in New York very well. It was fun. His photoshoot went well. Everything was perfect, yun nga lang he's been weird since yesterday. I don't know. He was cold all of the sudden. I couldn't understand him, kahapon sa umaga he was still very okay, we were talking well, hinatid nya ako sa hotel pagka tapos namin ng dinner, saying he had a meeting to attend all of the sudden, and he came home at three in the morning, which is very not like him. He usually comes home before midnight mga 10 to 11 pm. He never came home at midnight, worse at 3am! Now I woke up with a note on our bedside table saying that he'll be out for the whole day! Saying that we have a dinner celebration with the staff of Vogue and Forbes tonight. He left his guards as well! Sinong hindi mabu bwisit na hindi nya man lang sinabi kung saan sya pupunta. God ha!

I sulked inside our hotel room the whole day. I was eating mint chocolate ice cream, when the doorbell of our hotel room rang. I checked the time, damn 5pm na pala and I'm not yet ready! Our dinner is at seven, agad akong bumangon at agad na binuksan ang pinto ng kwarto namin. I was greeted by ten ladies, saying na pinadala daw sila ni Walter. Hair stylists, makeup artists, and many more. They helped me with everything, and when I say everything, I mean everything! Pati nga pag ligo ko ay sinamahan na din ako. I was now sitting on a high chair intended for makeup. Someone was doing my nails, hair, and make up! It was so weird. My phone rang kaya agad naman yon binigay ng isa sa mga staff sa akin. It was Walter!

"Hello!"

(Love-

Before he could say anything inunahan ko na sya "aba! Buti naman at nagparamdam ka pa! I waited for you to come back the whole day, tapos magugulat nalang ako na nagpadala ka ng sampung mga babae sa kwarto natin, saying na pinadala mo sila to fix me for the night? Gago ka ba? I stayed inside our hotel room the whole damn day wondering where the hell my boyfriend is!

I ended the call fuming mad and just allowed these ladies to fix me, I can't fix myself for tonight I am fuming, sa bwisit ko kay Walter, nakatulog na ako, habang inaayusan ako. Someone woke me up saying that I needed to wear my dress, and that I needed to attend a dinner. Agad naman akong tumayo at tinulungan ako sa isusuot ko. I am wearing a red glittery long gown, my back was exposed, but I had nothing to worry about. It emphasized my curves, but it wasn't tight, just perfect for me and my baby. I smiled when I saw myself. My hair was curled and my makeup was just light, but still I looked good. The staff offered to take a picture of me and pumayag naman ako. I don't know why someone was taking a video of me the moment I left our room though. I was escorted by Walter's guards that night.They told me I could take a nap since medyo malayo pa daw from the hotel ang place kung saan kami magdi-dinner. I was tired and sleepy, I watched movies the whole day kaya naman ay medyo pagod na talaga ang mata ko. While looking at the street I finally dozed off. When I woke up, we were already at a parking lot. I asked the driver kung kanina pa ba kami, I was relieved when he told me na kaka park nya palang. The guards told me na they can't escort me anymore. Well that was weird. I went to the elevator and pressed the first floor. When I reached the first floor, I was entertained by a beautiful lady, she told me to ride the elevator and press the last floor, saying na I should just follow the signs. So I did what she said and rode the elevator again. I was shocked when the lights were dimmed. Fairy lights were everywhere. Everytime I passed by the doors, someone gave me a rose and pictures with notes on the back. Pictures of me and Walter to be precise. First photo was a picture of me on our first day of classes, sa TAU. It was a stolen picture of me, second photo ay nung rave night namin, some more stolen photos of me and Walter. I was shocked when I reached the end. 3 photos, a photo of me earlier while sleeping, Walter in a suit looking so dashing, and a photo with the letter I. When I opened the door, I was welcomed by balloons, and roses. Red and White roses, and sweet music. The whole place was dimmed, and I just followed the light and the sweet music. Still The One was playing. I know it was Walter who was singing, I smiled when I saw him. His back slowly turned. I went to him and smiled. Nawala bigla ang galit ko sa kanya.

"Hi love" he said I also said I. He held my hand and then someone was playing the piano as he spoke "Love, when I first saw you. I was smitten. My heart was beating uncontrollably, it was like any moment lalabas sya sa katawan ko. I was never in love with anyone, I never liked a woman, in a romantic way, crush nga eh wala ako, but then I found you, everything changed. All my firsts were with you. I experienced everything with you. Nagalit ako sa'yo, pero wala eh. No matter how much I wanted to hurt you, I couldn't even handle seeing you in pain. I may not be the perfect man, but I am willing to improve myself for you and our little angel. I'm not that good with words, but allow me to show you. Allow me to shower you with my unconditional love. I can't imagine my future without you. My world is incomplete, without you in it. You are my light, during my darkest nights. You gave me hope, you saved me when I was drowning. Angelica Shane Gonzales, will you give me the honor of changing your last name? Will you give me the honor of calling you Mrs. Arkinson? Will you be my wife and spend our whole lives until our hair turns grey, together? Will you marry me, my love?" I smiled tears falling down from my face when I heard his words. I nodded and shouted "YES!"

Confettis were falling, people were shouting, the music blasted, we hugged each other and I was shocked to see my family and his. Everyone was present. We broke out hug, Walter was crying while smiling "Thank you for making me that happiest man alive, I love you." I smiled and held his cheek "and thank you for making me the happiest and luckiest woman alive, I love you too, my love" I held his cheeks and we kissed. People around us were cheering.

This is just the beginning of the next chapter of our life. I know we'll face a lot, but together I know that we'll make it. We can finally say that despite everything that we went through we're still the one for each other. We were separated, but fate brought us back to each other. We are destined for each other. People linked by destiny will always find each other.

The End.
