"YOU DON'T have to do this," sabi ko kaagad kay Jed nang makita ko siyang nakatayo at naghihintay sa labas ng powder room. I told him not to wait, pero iyon pa rin ang ginawa niya. He’s just too stubborn for a doctor.
"I don't mind waiting." Sinabayan niya iyon ng kibit-balikat. It was just simple words, casual and light. But I knew they hid a thousand meanings for him.
Jed had always stood beside me, watching over me, even at times I almost hated him. But he's still there. Hindi niya pa rin ako pinabayaan. Even when I almost give up on myself.
And as I looked at him, I thought how my life would turn out if I chose him instead. Kung siguro hindi dumating si Alex, siguro si Jed na ang pinili ko. I knew he'd be a responsible and affectionate husband. He'd be wonderful and almost perfect.
