After All : Chapter 21

21: Ang Pangarap ni Vince


[ Vince POV]

Lately napapansin ko na parang laging malungkot si Aya. Sa tuwing tatanungin ko naman siya lagi niyang sinasabi na okay lang siya. Na stress lang siya. Mga ganun. Pero alam ko na may mas malalim pang dahilan doon. Ayoko namang ipressure siya na magsalita.

Kaya nga nagprepare nalang ako ng surprise for her. Iyon lang naman ang pwede kong magawa eh. No matter how much I wanted to comfort her and ease the pain she’s suffering, wala akong magawa kasi she’s not allowing me to know. Kaya naman I’ll just do what I think might help her as her boyfriend.


“ babydoll, pwede ka ba sa weekends?”


“ bakit? You have plans?”


Nandito kami sa terrace ng bahay nila nakatambay. Wala daw kasi siya sa mood lumabas eh kaya dito nalang kami sa house nila.


“ yeah..gusto ko sanang magpunta sa Boracay eh.” I’ll answer while brushing her hair.


Ang haba na kasi ng buhok niya at ang bango pa. I’ll like her hair so much. Isa din kasi ito sa asset niya. Bagsak na bagsak pero yung bandang ilalim eh kulot-kulot.
She got her hair from her mom. Ganito din ang buhok noon ni Tita Aiko when she was still in her teenage years. Nakita ko sa family album nila.


Although she looks like her dad who is a Filipino, she got her eyes and hair from her mom who is a Japanese. Mas kamukha ni West ang mommy nila kesa sa daddy nila. Kaya nga si Aya yung Daddy’s girl. Too bad their parents died early. They didn’t see how their children’s grow up beautifully.


“ bakit gusto mo sa Bora? Mag sa-sight-seeing ka ng mga girls na nakabikini?” she asked teasing me.


Pabirong kinurot ko siya sa ilong.


“ ikaw talaga kung anu-ano iniisip mo. Bakit pa kita isasama kung gusto ko lang din naman palang makakita ng mga chikababes dun. Istorbo ko lang..hehe”


“ ahh ganun??? Istorbo pala ah..” sabi niya at sinimulan akong kilitiin. Alam na alam niya kung saan yung weakest point ko kaya naman nanghina agad ako sa kakatawa.


“ baby tama na ayoko na” mangiyak-ngiyak ako sa kakatawang saway sa kanya.


“ ayaw” at di padin  niya ako tinigilan sa pagkiliti sakin.


When I finally got my composure I grab her hands and pulled her toward me.


“ ui Vince madaya ka.” Reklamo niya as she tries to let go of my grip.
“ anong madaya ka diyan..may rules ba?” I asked as I pulled her more to lock her in my arms.


Hindi na rin siya pumalag and let me hug her tight. We stayed that way. She was in front of me facing his back while I embrace her from behind.


“ I miss this.” I slowly whisper in her ears as I buried my face in her hair. “ ang bango mo naman baby, nakakaadik ka.” I grinned while smelling her hair.


“ ano namang tingin mo sakin? Ginagawang shampoo ang shabu?” biro niya.


“ mas malakas pa ang tama ko sayo kaysa sa shabu baby. Bakit pa ako gagamit nun kung sayo palang may tama na ako. You are my drugs. Hahaha!!!”


“adik ka talaga.” Ganting biro niya habang pinanggigilan ang buhok ko.


How I wish we could stay this way forever.


How I wish I could hold her like this forever.


That maybe the most happiest moment of my life.


Being with her all my life.


“ alam mo ba kung anong pangarap ko pagtanda baby?” I asked while looking at the sky.


“ hhhmmm… maging president ng bansa? Yumaman? Magkaroon ng malaking kumpanya? Madaming kotse? Madaming babae?”


Kung anu-ano pang kalokohan ang pinagsasabi niya. Trying to make me laugh. She thought this is just a joke on me.


“ simple lang ang pangarap ko baby. Gusto kong sumakay ng jeep kasama ka sabay sabing “MANONG BAYAD PO. DALAWANG SENIOR”I love you baby”


I told her and looked in her beautiful face. I swear I saw a tears glimpse in her eyes as she smiled at me.


“ I love you too” she answered as she kiss me on the lips and put her arms around my neck. “pero ang corny mo”


“ahh ganun ah.” Tumatawang sagot ko at bigla syang kinarga.


“ hey Vince, baka malaglag ako.”


“ don’t you trust me? As if naman papayagan kong may mangyaring masama sayo.relax and enjoy.” Nakangiting sabi ko sa kanya and kiss her on the lips. “MMMMwwwaaaaahhhhh”


(>o<)




[ AYA’s POV]


“ simple lang ang pangarap ko baby. Gusto kong sumakay ng jeep kasama ka sabay sabing “MANONG BAYAD PO. DALAWANG SENIOR”I love you baby”


That was the most cheesiest yet sweetest thing that I’ve ever heard. Nakakataba ng puso. I can really feel how much he loves me. I never thought that a bad boy once like Vince could be this gentle and corny.


I’m really glad to be her girlfriend and if I could given a chance to be with her forever, I wish.


“ I love you too” I answered as I can’t help myself and  kiss him on the lips and put my arms around his neck. “pero ang corny mo”


“ahh ganun ah.” Tumatawang sabi niya at bigla akong kinarga.


Nagulat naman ako sa ginawa niya kaya napatili ako.


“ hey Vince, baka malaglag ako.”


I told him so that he would put me down


“ don’t you trust me? As if naman papayagan kong may mangyaring masama sayo.relax and enjoy.” Nakangiting sabi niya sa akin and kiss me on the lips. “MMMMwwwaaaaahhhhh”


Wala na akong nagawa kundi hayaan nalang siya sa gusto niya. Baka kapag nagpumiglas pa ako eh mabitawan niya pa ako.


Ayokong mapilayan.


Vince is a very sweet boyfriend. And a loving one. Kaya naman I don’t want to hurt him so much. He’s been so good to me. And I feel bad for not telling him about Lance.


“ hi there lovers meryenda is ready” tawag samin ni West habang kasunod ang maid na may bitbit na tray ng meryenda.


Agad naman akong ibinaba ni Vince at sabay kaming lumapit kay West.


“ wow!!! Cupcakes” sabi ni Vince at agad akong inabutan ng isa.


“ thanks.”


Naupo kaming tatlo nila Vince at West sa table na naroon.


“ marunong ka bang magbake baby?” Vince asked me between eating.


Tumawa naman bigla si West.


“ ayan??naku!! Alam mo bang the last time na pumasok ng kusina iyan nasira yung oven namin at muntik pang magkasunog?” tumatawang sabi ni West.


Napasimangot naman ako. Wala kasi talaga akong talent sa kusina eh. Kasalanan ko ba iyon?

“ kaya ikaw Vince, kung may balak kang pakasalan yang kapatid ko eh siguraduhin mong hindi ka maghihirap para lagi kayong may katulong. Dahil wala kang aasahan diyan sa gawaing bahay.” Pang-aasar pa ni West.


Gigil na sinipa ko naman siya mula sa ilalim ng lamesa.


“ ang yabang mo ah” nakasimangot na sabi ko at humalukipkip.


“Okay lang yun West. Pinapangako kong hindi dadanas ng hirap iyang si Aya kapag naging mag-asawa na kami.” Natatawang sabi din ni Vince.


Sinipa ko din si Vince.


“ isa ka pa eh. Mga mapang-asar!!!”


Niyakap naman ako ni Vince.


“ hey baby chillax!!! It’s just a joke okay.”


“ hahaha..funny” I said sarcastically.


“ pikon” biro ni West.


“ by the way West, pupunta kaming Boracay sa weekend gusto mong sumama.” Yaya ni Vince kay West.


Napatigin sakin si West.


“ di ba nasa Australia ka na nun?” he asked me.


“ next next week pa yun.”


“ you’re leaving baby?” takang tanong ni Vince sakin.


“ yeah. Kahapon lang ako sinabihan ni Miss Reyes. May gaganaping convention sa Australia eh isa ako sa lalaban.” I casually said it.


“ wow!!! Really? I’m so proud of you baby…congratz and good luck. How I wish I was there to chher you up. How long will you be there?”


“ one week lang naman ako dun. Sandali lang ang isang lingo. Saka may klase ka diba?”


“ yeah…kaya dapat pala talaga tayong matuloy this weekend sa Boracay kasi aalis ka pala eh”


“ okay sige. Friday tayo aalis? Then uwi tayo ng Sunday?”


“ yup. Sama ka na din West.”


“ gagawin niyo pa akong chaperone niyo.” Nailing na sagot ni West.


“ sus! If I know gusto mo din namang sumama. Gusto mo yayain ko si Madz?” pang-aasar ko kay West.


Namula naman si West. Hahaha..sabi ko na tama ako ng hinala.


I found out kasi that my brother is courting Madelaine. At ang dalawang iyon ay naglilihim sa amin. They didn’t tell us that there’s something going on between the two of them.
“ you and Maddy???” gulat na tanong ni Vince.


“ sshhh!!! Quiet you two. No one should know about this okay?” saway samin ni West.


“but why?” takang tanong ni Vince.


“ Madz is not allowed to have a boyfriend pa kasi until she finish her studies. Masyado kasing strict yung daddy niya.” I was the one who answered.


Of course I know that. I am Madelaine’s friend for four years. Kaya naman I know how strict her parents are.

“ sa tingin mo kaya payagan siya ng daddy niya?” alanganing tanong ni West.

Sus!! Sabi ko na eh. Gusto din niyang sumama si Madz hehe.. Kambal ko nga itong si West. Pareho kaming malihim.


“ akong bahala.” I assure him. it’s time to play the role of a good and kunsintidor sister for my brother.


“ ikaw ang kawawa ‘brhaw” dugtong naman ni Vince but he quickly said “ sabi ko sayo si baby na bahala dun relax ka lang” when I glared at him. “ peace baby” and he put a V-sign on her fingers.


“andress the saya!!!” kantiyaw ni West kay Vince.


“ hindi ako ander no’ ayoko lang talagang mag-away kami.” Depensa ni Vince.


“Takot ka lang kay Aya” biro ni West.


“ brhaw..hindi takot iyon no’..respeto tawag dun.”


“ whatever!!!” ani West at tumawa.


“ sige isusumbong kita kay Maddy..sabihin ko bastedin ka..hehehe” pananakot ni Vince. “close kaya kami” dugtong pa nito.

“ Naku brhaw tigilan mo yan kung ayaw mong maghiwalay kayo ng kapatid ko ng wala sa oras.” Ganting biro naman ni West.

At sabay pa silang nagtawanan.


Haay naku mga sira-ulo talaga itong mga ito.

Naiiling na napangiti nalang ako sa kanilang dalawa.
