Sofia's Point of View :
"Mom, where do I put this?" I asked Mommy as I carried the big bag.
"You are the daughter of the praying saint Sofia, take that down! Put that down!" Mommy took almost one step between me and her just to take the bag I was carrying in my hands.
"You know you can't lift heavy things, right?" She frustrated told to me.
"Mom you're overreacting!"
"Aunt please? Please don't take Sofia away from me?" Mommy and I both looked at each other and we both frowned at what Alexus was doing now.
"I-I know what I did to your daughter was wrong, I know I shouldn't have done that, but I have no choice," It was as if he was now praying in front of Mommy and me with his hands folded. When I'm about to stop him from doing whatever nonsense he's doing suddenly mommy stopped me. I just let it go, so of course as an obedient daughter, I listened to my mother.
"But aunt, I'm revoking the contract, the previous contract, I really love your son, no jokes!" He continued. I just scratched my forehead. What is he saying? Didn't he knows that mommy would get angry with those that came out of his mouth? Oh, Alexus!
"Wait a minute, what contract are you saying son?"
"Sylvia pease forgive our son. Let his Dad and I preach that. Please Sylvia, don't take our grandson away from us, let's just talk about it." Mommy stared at us at the same time, it was aunt Leanna who suddenly appeared today, it wasn't just Aunt Leanna with her, it was also uncle Xander.
"W-wait, I don't understand you. And what are we going to take away?" Mommy's asked confused. Even me, I'm also confused about what's happening now. I don't know what's up.
"Because this good son of ours told us that you will leave the country. He said that you will take his future child away from him, so we accompanied him so that we can talk about my son's nonsense," she said. Aunt Leanna glared at Alexus. He just signed peace with his mother.
"Because Felix said, you're leaving," he said, scratching his head. So, that's why he suddenly appeared and snatched the bag that Mommy was carrying because he thought we were really leaving? Like, seriously?
"We're not leaving,"
"Eh, why are you carrying a bag?" Alexus asked like a child.
"Is that so? I just took that from my daughter because she's pregnant, we're not leaving."
We looked around at each other. No one wants to talk.
We all laughed.
It's like we're crazy now here at home. If someone just sees us, they might think we're really crazy.
"Would you like something to drink?" Mommy's offer to break the awkwardness between us.
"If there is," Aunt Leanna replied.
"Do you have green tea?" Uncle Xander asked.
Akward again.
Mommy accompanied them aunt and uncle to the kitchen while Alexus and I were left here in the living room.
"What nonsense is this?" I asked him frowning.
"Sofia, please, I'm sorry?" I didn't even pay attention.
"Why are you here?" I raised an eyebrow asking him.
"To stop you," he answered.
"Psh! Your face! We're not leaving, so you can go home."
"I don't want to. I want to sleep here so we can be together." When did this man become a childish?
"Wow. Really? Did you ask me first if I want you to sleep here so I can be by your side?" I blocked him.
"Sofia, I'm sorry." I didn't say anything.
"Hey," I stayed silent.
" Sofia Marie Hidalgo," No response again.
"Wife!" I stayed silent.
"Fine. I know you're angry, so I'm sorry please?" He continued.
"I love you." It was as if I am a remote control that had automatically turned on him.
"What did you say?"
"Sorry?"
"No."
"Wife?"
"No."
"Sofia—"
"No! It's the last one!" I said angrily.
"I love you." He said smiling wide.
"You really do?"
"You don't want to believe me?"
"Isn't it just Nicole you love? She's also the woman you promised to marry, so why are you saying I love you to me now?" I asked confused.
"I don't know either. I don't know,"
"Then you're lying!"
"I'm saying the truth. I love you, I don't know why and how, as far as I know since I left you it seems like there's something missing in me. Your smile, your presence, your hug, your your voice, and you ... you're the one I'm missing."
"Yes, at first I thought Nicole was really the woman I love and want to be with forever. But when you came it all changed. I love you Sofia, believe it or not I love you." He took my hand and placed it on his heart. I can feel the strength of his heart beatings.
"If you can't believe what I'm saying, you can feel my heart's beating."
"I don't know if you're just nervous so that heartbeat is so fast," I said with my arms crossed.
"What do you want me to do to make you believe?" I thought for a moment because of his question.
"Hmm .." He looks like a fool now waiting for my answer.
"What now?"
"You know, you haven't changed. You're still very demanding! " My eyes narrowed as I told him.
"Well, this is me." He proudly said. What an arrogant!
"You don't need to do anything, I still don't believe it."
It's hard to believe, maybe later it's over again and in the end, I'm the poor once again.
I'm starting to believe to the saying that, when you break someone's trust, it is difficult to restore it. It's really hard to believe, it's like last time I was begging him not to leave, but what did he do? Nothing, he still left me.
Then now, he suddenly come back and say he loves me? Who is he fooling? If he thinks that I will give immediately to his cruelty—no way! he needs to suffer first.
"What I did was foolish and Impulsive, If I could take it all back I’d do this so instant. I truly didn’t mean to hurt you in any way, I’m sorry for hurting you." I was shocked after he knelt in front of me and began to utter words that now soften my heart.
"Hey! Stand there!" I scolded him. Tsk tsk tsk!
"What's this drama Alexus? After you hurt me, there you are and you look stuoid there!" I told him annoyed. Men nowadays, they will commit a sin, after they apologize like saints.
"Sofia Marie Hidalgo, will you marry me?" I don’t know how he had that ring right away. He's holding a ring now. My heart rate is really fast right now. It is one of my dreams, to be offered the marriage of the person I love. Immediately smiles drew on my lips, along with the dripping of my tears.
But this time, it is tears of so much joy. Okay, I'm taking back what I said earlier that I should narrow down first. Nothing, it's my dream. Here it is coming true now, should I refuse it? Of course, not anymore. Grab the opportunity right away, maybe he'll end up with someone else, and I will felt sorry if I didn't take this opportunity.
"You're so annoying! You didn't let me sulk for a few days, you're so killjoy!"
"So, Will you marry me?" He asked again.
"Guess my answer,"
"What the hell!"
"I'm sorry Alexus," I wiped away my tears and knelt down to match him.
"—but because," I pretended to cry so he looked like he was going to cry too.
"You're not rejecting me, right?" He asked nervously and anxiously.
"I'm so sorry," my tears kept dripping so he cried too. He looks cute.
"Sofia please, please don't spell it," He was already crying so I felt pity, maybe later he will change his mind.
"I'm so sorry Alexus, but I can't imagine myself marrying someone else. That's why, It's a YES. Yes, I'll marry you!" Suddenly the radiance of his eyes returned and he started screaming.
"YES! YES! YES!!"
"Hey you look crazy!"
"Woah! YES!"
"Hey!" I just froze after he lifted me up and turned me around three times.
"I love you! I love you so much," he said with a smile before kissing me on my forehead.
"I love you more," I replied as I hug him tight.
"Hmm" Mommy’s serious face stopped us.
"Come here you kid," I winced after Mommy approached me and pinched me lightly on the side.
"Why did you do that?"
"Mom?" I was shocked after she cried in front of me. I mean, in front of Alexus and me.
"I know everything, and you really have no intention of admitting to me?" I bowed.
"I'm scared,"
"What are you, I'm your mother."
"I'm sorry mom please? I'm sorry" I hugged her tightly and I also felt Mommy hug me back. I smiled, so I love my mom very much, she doesn't know how to get angry and she is very understanding.
"Hey, you!" Mommy stared at Alexus. "Just make sure you don't hurt my daughter, understand? Don't try me!"
"Promise aunt, never again."
"Not at all? You mean you've been hurt her? Why don't you come here!"
"I'm sorry, aunt,"
I just smiled watching them. It seems that destiny is now on my side.
