KABANATA 22

KUEN'S POV

Flashback...

"HUY! kuya ano na naman bang ginawa mo?" ranong ni gail ng makaalis si elle sa harapan ko.

"Nothing."sagot ko at iniwan sila.

"Kuya sandali!" hinila ako pabalik ni gail at saka siya nameywang sa harap ko.

"Birthday ni elle bukas."

"Tapos?"

"Haler kuya? Alam kong may gusto kana kay elle and it may turn to love kaya ipapaubaya ko na siya sayo! Surpresahin mo sana siya sa kaarawan niya you know this week is the most stressful week for her kaya make her happy."sabi nito, seryosong sabi nito.

How should i suprise her?

"How?" wala sa sariling tanong ko.lumapit si gail sa akin at sinabi ang plano.

End of flashback...

I watch her happily thanking the visitors.

I know i am one of those who hurt her emotionally and i want to make it up to her, i want her to be happy.

I smile when she mouthed me thank you.

Maybe love do exist, and cupid has something to do with it and i must say thank you.

"Oh successful kuya! bumawi ka ah?" siniko ako ni gail.

Karga ko si levin kaya ibinaba ko muna siya para kausapin si gail.

"Sure. When?" i asked.

Gusto niya kasing bilhan ko siya isang stuff toy na hindi mabibili sa pilipinas.

"Take your time."Sabi nito.

Nilapitan ko si elle at niyakap ito mula sa likod.

"Can i talk to you?"

I can't hold this anymore i need to confess my feelings so my heart won't explode.

"Sure."she answered.

Dinala ko sa dalampasigan at naglakad-lakad kami sa buhangin.

"Uhmm.. How should i start?" i whispered i heard her chuckled.

"Take your time."sabi niya.

"I... Love you." there i said it. Natigilan ito at napatingin sa akin.

"What?" she asked.

Damn parang ako yung babae dito tapos siya yung guy aish kuen!

"I lov-"hindi ko pa natatapos sabihin iyon ng halikan niya ako.

I was shocked but still i response to her kiss with passion and love.

We started touching each-

Natigil ako sa pagiimagine dahil sa pagtawag niya.

"Kuen?" i saw her waving her hand.

"Ah?"

"You want to say something?"

"uhmm.. Nothing, enjoy your day."i said and kiss her forehead saka ako lumayo sa kanya.

ELLE'S POV

KUEN is weird yeah really weird, kanina kasi may sinasabi siyang kung ano pwro hindi ko naman marinig kasi mahinang mahina iyon na parang hangin nalang ang nakakarinig.

"Hija kailan kayo ikinasal ni kuen?" tabong ni mommy.

"Feb 18 po mom, actually malapit na ang wedding anniversary namin at wala pa akong plano kong pano icecelebrate iyon."sabi ko.

" What if mag pa party kayo sa mansyon niya, invite everyone."suggest ng dad niya.

"That's too risky hon, you know kuen is part of an underground business."sabi ni mom.

"Yong mga kakilala lang naman natin."sabi ni dad.

"Is it okay to you Elle?" tanong ni mom.

"Sure mom why not?"

Okay lang din naman sakin ang party basta mapapanatiling ligtas ang lugar kung saan gaganapin ang party.

"Son come here and sit."

Umupo sa tabi ko si kuen.

Wait i've been wondering where's zeus?

"Mom, i haven't seen zeus for a long time where is he?"

"His in New Zealand closing some deals why sudden asking?" she asked.

"Nothing." sagot ko.

Ipinagpatuloy ko ang pagkain habang si mommy naman ikinuwento ang plano niya sa anniv namin.

Haist this day will be remembered thanks to this men beside me.

I tried to reach for his hand and when i reach it i can't help but to hold it tight. He intertwined our hands that's why i smiled.

Happy Birthday to you Elle.
