I didn't stay long in Siargao, and I went home to our grandparents' house in Batangas. I said goodbye to them after my birthday celebration.
They tease me about Oakley. Well, I don't rely on her courtship chenes. If he's here and does that, only then will I believe him.
I did not experience wandering. In Chukchakan, I immediately ended up. Because of Edward, I don't know why he's asking for marriage and in a hurry.
Sometimes I feel that he is lusting after me before and after that, looking for others. Marriage is not a joke. When you get married, you have to stand up.
I feel sorry for my unborn baby. She/he doesn't deserve that. I must be careful. I don't want to repeat that.
My lola walks beside me and offers wine. She's 79, but parang nasa fifty palang. I adore my lola when she approaches all of my cousins and acts like a cool grandmother.
Elisha said, "That's a weird sigh, that's a bad son." "Luck won't come" I laugh and take a sip from my glass of wine.
"La, I feel sad for my baby. She didn't even feel that I loved her and I didn't know that I was carrying someone, "she sighed and watched the sun set down, taking over the colors of brown, golden yellow, and blue. the sky.
It's not your fault, Grandpa. If you blame that on yourself, And maybe the baby is not for you, hija? " I take another sip and she touches my hand.
Please be patient with your mama and papa. I know they're being greedy, but you can't blame them either. They want to have a better life for the next generation. " I just nodded and handed the bottle of wine over and put it back in my glasses.
I'm an alcoholic, but I never forget to take my meds. That's the only thing I can help myself with.
"La, what if a man comes up to me? I mean, I will be honest with you, because you're the only one who can understand me. " Lola looks at me and I feel that she's listening to me.
"I slept with another man three months ago." I saw a glint of anger in her eyes, but something was preventing her from reacting, because maybe she needed to assess first before she hit me with her shoes.
I was very devastated at that time, and of course, sizing sisi ako non, I had been hard on Edward, and I blame myself for being a selfish bitch. I close my eyes and wipe my tears quickly.
Grandma reacts violently, screams, and throws her glass of wine while cursing.
Grandma calmed down and sat down slowly as the maid approached and brought the telephone to her.
Hija, let yourself enjoy, explore, and don't limit yourself, hija. Bata kapa, there's more to do, okay? I nodded slowly and watched grandma dial the phone. Her sweet smile was gone.
"Solomon Avignon Salvia! We'll talk about when you're young and bring that great wife of yours! Stupid! " I let them be happy with my decision. My parents' opinion always matters in my life.
But now, I really don't know if it is
"Ma'am!" Our assistant shouted as he hurried over to me while he was still exhausted.
"What is it again?" Grandma shouted angrily and put her arm around me.
Lola really loves me. I am her favorite apo after all. I have most of her features.
There's a man at the gate. He's carrying a guitar and is singing. He's calling you ma'am. " My eyes narrowed at what Grandma's assistant said, and Grandma looked excited with me, so we went down to the house and rode in her golf car. Grandma
Oakley is standing there with a dashing smile, a barong tagalog that almost fits him, and narrow eyes that are staring at me with a heavy intensity.
Good evening, young lady. I would like to have something for you. If you deserve it, "his accent is fucking hot. I want to rip his clothes and drag him into my room to give him a hard and rough ride.
Baluga!
I close my eyes because the other side of my brain is poisoning and pestering me with my decision.
"Why, why not, son?"
"Elisha is the one I'm going to marry. Uh, I hope she likes to see me here. "
"Oh yes, this boy's thigh has been swaying before!" I look at my grandmother with disbelief.
Now I know from whom I inherited my talent; my grandmother is the proof.
He started strumming the strings while licking Grandma next to me. She leant on my shoulder.
Who's that son? It looks better than Edward. " Grandma was happy with my reaction and pinched me on the side. I don't speak anymore. Later, my grandmother will tell me
You're young, you're mine. Many lovers " I laugh and look at Oakley's face.
When you try your best but you don't succeed,
When you get what you want, but not what you need,...
It was as if I was stiff then. His voice was very familiar to me. I heard it when I was in college.
If you hear me, I dedicate this song to the most gorgeous woman in my eyes, Elisha. If you hear me, I know that I don't have enough strength to say it to you formally. But I really like you since the first time I laid my eyes on you. You're my heroin. I am addicted to you after listening to this song. Maybe I am not here. Please enjoy and live happily ever after.
I received many flowers and love letters, but I didn't date to commit. I date because I want to feel contented. I want the feeling that they were chasing me then and they made me feel like they almost adored me.
"Lights will guide you home." I felt my tears run down my cheeks.
I remember that guy who always dedicated songs to me and used the broadcasting room to serenade me.
But when he sang "Fix you," that was the last time he locked me up. He stops serenading me when I am three years old and one year old. Every day, every morning, when the person I entered early starts, the song will start. After one song, he has a short message.
But after that day, I dared to go to the broadcasting room. I saw nothing but a recorder. It was a box and the contents were pure letters. Another recorder with dates, what song and message
"Elisha..." he whispered and my grandmother pushed me to him. While I couldn't recover from my memories, I wasn't ready for Oakley to greet me and let go of the guitar he was carrying.
I look at my lola, surprised by my reaction, and she laughs and waves her hand before turning around.
"Don't come back until I don't have a grandchild."
