Chapter 2 2

I know that I have to ask him, but what can I do if he doesn't want to let me know. Afraid of what

might happen to us now. I need to enjoy now, I am engaged with the man that I love the most.

"Are you okay baby?" I caressed Navi's face and she smiled at me. His mother nodded slightly

and came out, calling me because my classmates had already sung the hymn of our campus.

I quickly kissed Navi and ran inside, finally I saw Nila and Sheen, as if they were waiting for me.

I walked with the two of them and the three of us joined in the singing of our friends.

This is not the end, it's just the beginning of everything, so we should be more prepared for what

we are going through. I smile and kiss their cheeks. "I'm so lucky to have both of you, you made

my college days happy and I enjoyed it so much, I love you both."

...

My classmates and I just finished taking pictures and Navi's Mom is next to me now, Navi

disappeared because she was going to get ready and she still had a surprise for me so she went

out first.

"Smile girls!" We smiled at the same time and my classmates each had a partner with us and our

professor. Aunt cried and came to me and hugged me, "I am so happy that I saw you and my

daughter graduate, you know. This is such a happy and most precious moment for you and Navi,

so it's the same for me. You are my son, and you have many medals hija." I smiled and held

Tita's hand.

"Thank you so much for the support Aunt, you are here and stay with Navi, you are my family

and I am honored to be part of your family." I bite my lips and hug Aunt.

We stopped when Navi came in, holding a bouquet of flowers and a cake, with congratulations

and many gifts in her hand. Sheen pushed me and Nila was smiling at me now.

"You thought my surprise for you was over, well baby I'm just starting." He winked at me and

handed me the flower. "What a flower you are!" I jokingly hit Navi's shoulder and quickly wiped

my tears, he is so nice to me. To the point that I have no idea if I did something right in my

relationship with Navi or not.

He is too good for me, he understands me and supports me no matter what. He proved how loyal

he is to me. I appreciate it, but sometimes like now, I feel ashamed because I didn't bring

anything into his life if it wasn't a problem while all he gave was love.

"Oh god, you're too good for me. I don't know if I deserve you baby." I look at him and Navi

laugh, put his arm around me and take a picture of us.

"I deserve to have an angel like you baby, I should be the one to say thank you. You have no idea

what have you done to my life." Aunty held my hand and pointed to what was behind me now. I

turned around and saw Mama holding a paper bag.

Tita patted my back and nodded, I smiled and walked towards her direction. She smiled and

handed me the paper bag. Sit on the monoblocks so I sit there too.

They signaled that they were going out so I nodded, I want a decent talk with my mom and I am

hoping that this conversation won't end on shouting and throwing hate to each other. Because

this day is important for me.

"Congratulations son, when I saw you walk on that stage, accepting those awards and receiving

that diploma. I feel proud of you, think that, even though we are in the middle of a crisis, you

managed to get everyone together." Mom hold my hand and smile.

"I'm so proud of what you have now son, and congratulations on your engagement with Navi, I

am really happy you know. I just realized that maybe we can start over again you know, you and

me. Let's forgive each other. " Mama smiled and took a deep breath, I couldn't believe what

Mama was saying right now in front of me.

"I am surprised Mama, but it means that starting over to me is forgiving and letting go. Let's

forget what happened on the past and let's be happy for what Papa and Aunt Amelie have now?"

Mama's reaction now, her reaction has not changed since then.

"Did you already ask your father, about what I said at your grandmother's funeral?" Mama asked

calmly, I shook my head and took a deep breath.

"I tried to, but it looks like Tita Amelie is avoiding that topic you know, when I came home from

the cemetery they were talking seriously and when they saw me they said that I better go home

since graduation is near, I just do what they said."

Mama nodded and smiled at me. "There's a pain that we cannot forgive easily son. I forgive you

even you betrayed me, I understand because you don't know anything. But maybe you know

what I'm saying, let's see if you're thinking right. I'll come back when I know the truth is yours,

but now. I just want to congratulate you okay. Enjoy your day mija." Mama stood up and walked

away.

It's really important, maybe I have to ask them. I want to know the truth.

Tita put her arms around me and then I put Navi's gifts to me and the ones Mama gave me in the

car.

"I am surprised that your mom showed up and gave some presents for you." I smiled and

caressed the paper bag and I smiled.

"Well, Mama asked if I can start over again with her, but I asked if starting over means forgiving

the past and letting them go, Papa, but she's pushing me to know the truth." Tita nodded and I

leaned against the car, removing my gown.

"Son, you know that there are things that are hard to accept, especially if the wound is very deep,

sometimes even after a long time. The pains come back again and again, even if we don't want to

go back to everything." I smile and let Tita speak.
