Ayokong ma-late sa trabaho ko. I ahm," may pag-aalinlangan ang kislap ng
mga mata nito, "i hope I can see
you again."
Kinagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi saka tumango. "Okay...once a month. I
can do that."
Her mother smiled. "Thank you."
Tumango siya saka pinagmasdan ito habang naglalakad paalis pagkatapos
magpaalam sa kaniya.
She was rooted in her seat. She couldn't move as she look at her mother
leaving.
She could stop her and tell her to stay but she didn't. She just stared
at her mother until she could no longer
see him.

"It's okay..." bulong niya sa sarili, "you will still see her... that is,
if she's here to stay."
Humugot siya ng isang malalim na hininga saka lumabas na rin ng
Restaurant. Nakakailang hakbang palang
siya mula ng makalabas ng pumarada harapan niya ang isang itim na kotse.
Napangiti siya ng bumaba ang bintana niyon at nakita ang kasintahan.

"How's the talk?"
She shrugged. "I don't know."
Cad smiled at her before opening the passenger seat. "Come on, baby."
Tinungo niya ang passenger seat saka sumakay pagkatapos ay maingat nitong
pinausad ang sasakyan.
"You okay, baby?" Kapagkuwan ay tanong nito sa kaniya.
Tumango siya habang nakatingin sa labas ng bintana. "Alam mo ba kung saan
siya nakatira ngayon?"
"Your mom?"
"Yes."
Iniliko nito ang sasakyan. "In an old apartment near her workplace."
"So she's really a utility personnel in a Mall?"
"Yeah." Cad glanced at her. "You okay?"
Tumango siya. "She asked me if she could see me once a month and I said
yes."
So she's not lying about her job. But what's her game? Maniniwala ba siya
o magpapaloko? Niloloko ba ako
ng sarili kong ina?
Berry sighed. "It will take me a while to trust her."
"I know." Cad smiled at her. "And I'll be your designated driver every-
time you see her."
Napangiti siya sa tinuran ng fiancé. "Thank you. Now... where are we
headed?"
"To Church so we can thank the big guy for bringing us together and then
we're off to our Wedding
Organizer."
Lumapad ang ngiti niya at nakaramdam siya ng excitement. "Talagang
magpapakasal na nga tayo."
Nawala ang ngiti sa mga labi ni Cadmus. "What? You think I'm kidding when
I ask you to marry me?"
Humalukipkip siya. "You did propose to me through a joke."

"Point taken...but still. I am dead serious, Berry." He looks irritated.
"I know." Tugon niya saka hinalikan ito sa pisngi. "Love you."
Cad just sighed and continued driving. Hindi na ito nakipag-argumento sa
kaniya sa halip ay pinagsiklop nito
ang kamay nilang dalawa at paminsan-minsan ay sumusulyap sa kaniya at
nginingitian siya.
Berry knew that no one is perfect. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has
something to hide. At kasama na doon

si Cadmus. But even though he's not perfect, when it comes to her, he
never have shortcomings. He always do
his best to make her happy and that's one of the most important thing for
her.
