Kabanata 20

"Handa na ba lahat?" I still worriedly asked the maids. Nagpahanda kasi ako ng lunch dahil dito mamaya kakain ang parents at kapatid ni Sancho.

Probably it's to settle everything all at once... And I'm hopeful that things will turn out better this time. I also wish to talk to Sancho's Mama and Ynes again.

Mukhang okay naman na ang pagsasama nina Ynes at Caspian ngayon. Oo at may nakaraan kami ni Caspian pero nakaraan na iyon at tapos na. We should just all accept it and leave it in the past.

Hindi naman basta na lang madaling kalimutan iyong nangyari sa amin ni Caspian noon. Hindi iyon biro as we also tried to fight for our relationship back then. But many things have already happened to all of us.

Kinasal na si Caspian at Ynes at may anak na rin sila. At natutuhan ko na ring mahalin si Sancho... that I have yet to tell him.

Gusto ko rin na malaman niya ang nararamdaman ko after he has confessed his feelings to me.

Gusto kong ipaalam at ipadama rin kay Sancho na mahal ko rin siya.

At itong lunch namin ngayon kasama ang pamilya niya ay isa muling hakbang para sana ay maayos na nga ang lahat pagkatapos nito.

I know that this wouldn't be the end yet. Maaring simula pa nga lang din ito para sa amin ni Sancho. But whatever's gonna come in our way I just hope and pray na malagpasan lang din namin ang kahit na ano.

"Rose,"

Agad akong bumaling kay Sancho na kabababa lang galing sa second floor ng bahay namin. Agad din akong ngumiti sa kaniya. "Papunta na raw sila?" I asked him.

Tumango naman siya. "Yes, they're coming. What are you doing?"

"Tinitingnan ko lang kung kumusta ang paghahanda ng mga kasambahay natin." sabi ko.

Ngumiti lang naman sa akin si Sancho at lumapit pa sa akin. "Don't stress yourself about this. It's just lunch. And it's also for my family to apologize to you."He said.

"And you're pregnant, Rose." And it's as if he had to always remind me that.

Umiling ako sa kaniya at napangiti na lang din. "I'm fine, Sancho. Ayos lang kami ni baby." Nakangiting sinabi ko at hinawakan ko rin ang tiyan ko.

Humawak din doon si Sancho at ngumiti. Hanggang sa pinaalam na sa'min ng katulong na nand'yan na ang pamilya ni Sancho.

I still got nervous but I welcomed them with a warm smile. Pagkatapos ay nauna rin akong binati ng Papa ni Sancho at bahagya rin ngumiti sa akin si Ynes so I smiled at her.

Dinala nga rin pala nina Ynes ang baby nila ni Caspian. Caspian looks happy taking care of his little child and wife. Napangiti na lang din ako nang makita silang mukhang maayos na.

I know that it's still a little awkward to our family. Pero ito na ang mayroon kaming lahat ngayon. My past with Caspian couldn't be erased anymore. But they just have to trust us and believe that we're both only focusing on our own families now. Alam kong ganoon din si Caspian dahil kita ko iyon sa kaniya na masaya rin siya sa kay Ynes at sa anak nila.

We had lunch first. And then I was able to talk to Ynes after. Nag-sorry siya sa akin sa past actions niya.

"You just have to trust Caspian more, Ynes. Alam kong mahal ka niya..." I said because I can see it, too.

Nag-angat ng tingin sa akin si Ynes at tumango. "I do. I do now..." she said.

Ngumiti na lang ako sa kapatid ni Sancho.

And then Ynes needs to go to the bathroom first. Kaya naman naiwan na muna sa akin ang baby nila ni Caspian. Caspian was with Sancho's Dad. Nandoon din si Sancho kasama ang parents nila.

I carried the baby in my arms. Pagkatapos ay napangiti na lang ako habang pinagmamasdan ang bata. Sa susunod ay kami naman ni Sancho ang magkakaroon ng ganito. We can't wait to meet our little angel...

"Rosette..."

Napabaling ako sa tumawag sa akin at nakitang ang Mama na iyon ni Sancho. "Mama..."

She let out a quiet sigh first before she stepped closer to where I stood. Tiningnan niya rin ang apo na hawak ko. "Where's Ynes?" She asked me.

"Nag-washroom lang po, Mama..." sagot ko naman.

And then she nodded her head at me. Pagkatapos ay doon na rin siya nagsimulang kausapin ako, and to also apologize like what Sancho said... "I'm sorry, hija... I have caused you stress while you're pregnant with my grandchild..." she said.

And I can't help it that my eyes started to feel warm probably because of some building tears... Because what she said about her grandchild made me emotional.

Umiling naman ako. "It's all right, Mama... I understand. I completely understand." Tumango ako. "I know that you just care for Sancho and you love your son so much. And you just want nothing but the best for him. And I may not be the best for him..." I said in all honesty.

"Hija..." umiling naman ang Mama ni Sancho.

And then she sighed again, much obviously this time. "I have already talked to Sancho. I judged you too much. But I'm glad that you understand my feelings..."

Tumango naman ako. "Opo... Now that I'm already expecting a child, my own child. I can't help it but to think that I might also do the same thing as you for my child... That is if I have a son and I also find the girl who he will be married to unworthy... Baka po... ganoon din ang gawin ko..."

Sancho's Mama still shook her head. "I was wrong, Rosette. I'm sorry."

"I promise to work harder, po. For Sancho and our child." I said.

Pagkatapos ay tumango na lang ako at magaang ngumiti sa Mama ng asawa ko na ngumiti na rin pabalik sa akin kalaunan.

Alam kong hindi ito magtatapos dito. It's not just easy to do it. But I'm willing to start from scratch and gain my in-laws trust in me, too.

Nakabalik na rin si Ynes at kinuha na niya sa akin ang baby niya. Doon nag-usap pa kaming tatlong mga babae bago sumunod na rin sa amin ang mga lalaki naming kasama at gumaan na rin lalo ang atmosphere sa bahay namin ni Sancho.
