*MLAIRE'S POV*
Months passed but I felt like it was yesterday. A lot of things happened so quickly.
Sitting in a wood chair, sipping my coffee with Andrew. I am tense now, I am planning to say "YES" to Andrew but I don't know how to say it.
Hahanap na lang siguro ako mamaya ng tempyo dahil may mas kailangan pa kaming pagtuunan ng pansin ngayon.
We're waiting for someone for about 60 minutes.
How unprofessional.
"Hey! Are you okay? You're quiet." Andrew exclaimed.
"I'm a little bit nervous, Andrew." I said calmly, trying to ignore my hands that are sweating.
"Don't worry. Everything will be alright. Okay?" He assured me.
I nodded. We stayed quiet, we can hear the sound of the clock.
"Andrew, I'll just go the comfort room for a minute." I hurriedly get my bag.
"Ya, sure. Take care Mlaire." He kiss my forehead that makes me blush.
I smiled at him. I hurriedly go to the comfort room.
There, I saw a vacant cubicle and in my hurry I didn't notice the woman who about to pee at the same time.
She slipped on the floor and her things scattered around.
Goodness Mlaire!
"I'm... I'm so... sorry! I didn't mean it that way." I sincerely apologise and help her to get up.
"Look what you've done! My things are all ruin. You will pay for this, Mlaire Villachin!" She get all her things up and rush to go outside of the comfort room.
I was so f*cking shock. Who's that woman? Why? How did she know my name?
I don't know. My mind is floating right now, I can't even think properly.
The comfort room seems quiet, I'll enter one of the cubicle and I can't get rid of that woman.
Who are you?
I look at the mirror and wash my hands. I should go by now, for sure Andrew is waiting for me.
From a far, I saw a beautiful, sexy woman with a small baby bump. She was wearing a native red dress that matches her porcelain skin. It pairs with a red silhouette that looks very fine and fashionable.
She kiss Andrew. Not on his cheeks but on his lips. It makes my heart ache for a moment. Something like a niddle was stab in my chest, yes I felt that and I don't like this feeling.
Andrew help her to sit down. Assuring that her position is not risky and dangerous.
I don't want to watch anymore. I don't to stay here, just standing alone.
I will get everything that in the first place is mine.
Without any hesitation, I walk towards our table. I sit beside Andrew that makes her shock.
"Hey, you're here!" Andrew hold my hands and look at me.
I nodded and we both look at Alexia.
"What the hell is this? Andrew, bakit kayo magkasama ng babaeng yan?" Alexia was very shock. She even raised her voice that catches the attention of other people.
"Please, calm down Alexia. Kaya nga pinapunta kita dito for us to talk." Andrew explained.
Pero umiling si Alexia. She glare at me sharply.
"You whore! Slut! Covet! Home wrecker why did you do all of this? You know that I'm pregnant and Andrew is the father of our child!" Alexia pointed her finger on me. She stood up and try to slap me but Andrew stop her.
"Don't you fucking try to lay your dirty hands on Mlaire. Baka maligtaan kong buntis ka. Don't start Alexia, let's end this right here, right now!" I look at Andrew. His eyes are flaming, it looks different.
"What the h*ck! Ano? Kasalanan ko pa ngayon, bakit? Sino ba ang nang-agaw ng boyfriend?" Alexia pulled my hair and she pour the coffee on it.
God-damn it!
"Don't you try Alexia. Be professional, act accordingly. Kung hindi ka lang buntis kanina pa kita pinatulan. How childish you are." I stood up and Andrew help me to clean up.
Maraming tao na ang tumitingin sa direksiyon namin. We need to go, baka ito pagpiyestahan kami ng mga tao bukas na bukas sa diyaryo.
"Professional ba kamo? Ito sayo, slice of cake para naman tumamis and tabas ng dila mo!" Alexia angrily put the cake on my mouth.
Shit! Nauubos na ang pasensya ko sa babaeng to.
"I will never let you harm me again, bitch! Sinubo ko rin sa kanya ang cake na nalaglag sa lapag. Well, she deserves it.
"Ito pa, dahil alam kong nauuhaw ka na!" I pour the last cup of coffee on her face that makes her angry.
"F*ck you Mlaire! You'll pay for what you've done to me!" Alexia trying to pull my hair again but it's too late. Andrew hold her wrists that makes her in pain.
I remember something, the woman in the comfort room. I feel strange about it. But with full force and energy I replied.
"Fuck you too!" I sarcastically replied.
"Believe it or not, we're over Alexia. Don't try to disturb my life again or else you'll see the beast in me." Andrew look at me. Checking if I'm hurt or what.
"Don't worry, I'm okay." I replied.
"Let's go Mlaire!" He hold me closer, trying to protect from Alexia.
"I am really sorry for the fuss, Manager. Here, take this as my peace offering and please keep the CCTV footage confidential as much as possible. Thank you!" Andrew pay our bills and to those mugs that torn apart.
The manager agreed.
We headed to the parking lot and Andrew help me to get inside of the car. He turn around and sitted beside me.
"I am really sorry for everything that Alexia did to you awhile ago. I didn't even make her stop from hurting you." Andrew cup my face, caressing it gently.
His face looks frustrated and tired. I nodded, for him to be calm.
"I'm fine Andrew. Don't worry, I can protect myself now from any danger." I reassured him this time. I kiss his cheeks para naman mabawasbasan ang pag-alala niya.
"Good that I'm hearing things like that from you. Let's go somewhere, Mlaire." He's driving anyway but he can still find a way to look at me.
Well, I'm not busy naman this day so papayag na ako.
"Ya sure. Gotta call Mom for a minute, baka mag-alala yon." He smiled.
I get my phone up and dial my mom's number.
"Hello Mom! I think I can't make it today, Andrew and I have something to deal with ." I speak gently as I could.
"You're 25 already Mlaire. Good luck and we're expecting a grandson." Mom bursted of laughter. She really want me to get married as soon as possible.
"Mom! Stop it. Sige na, I'm hanging up." I said.
"Take care Mlaire. We're going out too with your Daddy since today is Valentines." How sweet. Daddy will never failed of making surprises for mom.
They both blessed and lucky to have each other's love.
"Bye Mom. Take care!" I ended up the call and put my cellphone back into my bag.
"Hey! I heard something like grandson, what's with it Mlaire?" He sarcastically asked me.
D*mn! I tried to be calm especially now.
"Yon? Don't mind it, perhaps you're thinking too much. Kaya kung anu-ano na lang ang naririnig mo." I am trying hard to divert the topic because I don't know how to explain about mom's wish.
"You talk so fast. Well, I'm just asking you lang naman." I heard him chuckles and he open the stereo smiling.
Shit!
"Shut up Andrew Wilton!" F*ck! Is it too obvious?
"Take me out
Take me home
You're my, my my
Lover"
While on the road, Andrew put his right hand on my lap. I don't know but it feels good.
But I'm wondering if where we're going to.
Less than 90 minutes, we arrive at his pad.
Well, it was my first time being here. Sometimes we eat in a restaurant or on his office.
The place seems quiet but I love the ambiance. As the door opened, I saw in my right side a medium size portrait of Andrew.
He looks fine and handsome. Featuring his perfect, luring jawline. It matches his crimson lips and adorable adams apple.
On my left side, there is a classical style cabinet full of recognitions and plaques.
It's an ancestral house but looks good and new.
"This is my childhood ancestral house." Andrew get some wine from the fridge and pour it in the glass.
"Beautiful. It looks new still, perhaps you hired a hard working caretaker." I sip some of it. Medyo nauuhaw na rin ako.
"Yes! Mang Ricky and his wife, they're the one who keep this house new until now. Come on upstairs, I'll show you something." Andrew bring with him the wine, his glass and I carry mine.
If I'm correct, the stair consists of 24 steps. When we arrived at the second floor, there is a balcony full of beautiful flowers.
Both left and right side are all rooms.
Andrew stop when we reach on the last part. There, I saw a short hanging bridge.
"Wow! It's that a tree house?" I exclaimed. I never see a tree house like this.
"Yup! I'm the who designed that when I was 10 years old. Come here Mlaire." Andrew puts first the wine and our glass inside of tree house.
He guided me until we reach the front door.
"Wow! It's beautiful Andrew!" He's smiling genuinely while slowly guiding me to get inside.
I don't know what to feel, pero kinakabahan ako. My hands are sweating and my knees are trembling.
"Just relax Mlaire. Lately, we've been busy but you know I prepared this for you, for us. I hope you like it Mlaire." Andrew look at me. Waiting for my response.
"You... you... how... how di... did you make all of this? We're busy lately but why I didn't notice it? Ang daya mo Andrew!" Wala akong masabi kundi ang humikbi, it's a tears of joy.
He designed this place romantically, there is a candle light on the table with a bouquet.
Kinuha naman niya it at marahang inabot sakin.
"Happy Valentines Mlaire. I'm sorry it's a not big surprise but ya let's enjoy this mo-." Hindi ko na pinatapos ang sasabihin niya, sapat na ang mga bagay na ginawa ni Andrew for our relationship.
Huminga ako ng malalim bago ko sabihin sa kanya ang matagal na niyang hinihintay.
"Shhhh. I'm saying yes, Andrew!" Hindi siya makapaniwala, nakatulala na para bang hindi alam ang gagawin.
"F*ck! You say yes Mlaire? You say yes! God-damn it!" He will not stop uttering bad words so I kissed him.
"I love you Andrew Wilton. I'm sorry if it takes too long." Andrew lift up my head, trying to meet my gaze.
"I love you Mlaire. You don't know how much you made me happy right now." This time he kiss me on the forehead. I was about to close my eyes but he let me look at his eyes.
I'm happy that finally our relationship is now official. I hope no one will try to break us apart and disturb my life again.
"Sit down Mlaire. Let's eat first, I know you are hungry by now." Andrew chuckles and put salad in the plate.
I'm just wondering kung saan galing itong mga pagkain. I shrugged my shoulders when I saw a mini fridge in my right side.
"Thank you! Kompleto talaga itong tree house no?" Tanong ko, while chewing.
"Yap! In your right side, there's a mini fridge. On the opposite, there's a comfort room, and right here is the mini kitchen." Andrew explained very well.
So, talagang kwarto lang ang kulang. Sayang naman, inaantok pa naman din ako.
I was busy eating when I hear a stereo or what that is playing.
Nagulat ako ng biglang tumayo si Andrew.
If there were no words
no way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
no way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
"Mlaire, can we dance?" Andrew asked me while the song is playing.
"Ye... yes! Oo naman!" Garalgal na sagot ko.
Andrew put my arms on his shoulders and he placed his arms on my waist.
We let the rhyme of the song take us to move.
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my valentine
"I will never get tired of saying how much I love you Mlaire. Now and forever, you will be my valentine." Hindi ko na alam kung ano pa ang sasabihin ko.
Humagulgol ako sa iyak dahil sa tuwa. It feels like I'm in heaven.
I never felt this way before. I'm lucky to have him and I will never regret it.
All of my life
I have been waiting for
all you give to me
you've opened my eyes
and showed me how to love unselfishly
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart untill the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my valentine
"An...Andrew!" I couldn't find words to explain how much I love him.
"I will protect you with any cause Mlaire. I will love you until we're old, I will stay here beside you. Don't you forget that." He kiss her on the forehead, closing his eyes and memorizing even the small details of her.
"I... I lo... love-" I was about to tell how much I love him but his phone rings.
"Sir, we have an emergency meeting right now." His secretary said.
"I'm coming." Andrew replied.
"Mlaire, we need to go back. I am really sorry, I don't want to interrupt our stay in here but I can't." He explained, feeling sorry.
"No, it's okay and I understand. Let's go!" Nagmamadali kaming makalabas ng bahay, iniwan namin itong nakabukas.
For sure, Mang Ricky will take care of the house and lock the door for us.
Andrew started the engine and drives fast as he can. Medyo malayo ang bahay na ito sa opisina niya kaya't matatagalan pa kami sa daan.
**
We arrived at the building almost sunset. I told him that I'll go home first and change my clothes.
"See you soon, Mlaire." He kiss me before leaving. I sigh for relief, I thought aalis lang siya ng basta basta.
Nagmamadali naman siyang pumasok at naiwan ako sa labas ng building.
"Perhaps, it must a VIP client."
I borrowed his car and I drive to go home. I'll it bring it with me tomorrow.
The sunset looks beautiful. I watch as I watch the road. Fast as I think, I arrive at home before the sun went down.
"I'm home!" I said with excitement but the surrounding remains quiet and calm.
"They're must be outside, right now." I uttered.
I shrugged my shoulders. I went to my room and throw my things on the bed. I headed to the bathroom and take a bath quickly.
It feels good, the cold water touches my skin. Leaving goosebump on it.
I wear an apricot dress, painted with a brown butterfly. Simple but catchy.
I was about to take a nap but my phone vibrated. I fetch it and read the message from unknown number.
"Let's meet in the rooftop now. I'll wait for you. -Andrew."
I feel so strange because of this text message. I don't know, I mean Andrew just surprised me earlier. Then, why he wanted me to go to the rooftop?
With a confused mind, I still want to go. I fetch quickly my purse from the bed and get off.
I used his car since I wanted to and just a couple of minutes, I arrive at the building.
Binati naman ako ng mga guards at ilang empleyadong nakakasalubong ko. Binaba ko ng unti ang dress ko kasi parang ang ikli pero wala na din akong magawa dahil ito na.
Malapit na ako sa rooftop ng may marinig akong parang kumakanta. There is a table in the center with candles light.
With my excitement, I was about to run towards to him but Andrew kiss her. He was facing the other girl and I see his broad shoulders from a far.
He kiss someone in front of me. Tears springing into my eyes as I turned my back walking away from here, from them... from him.
