July 16, 2008. It’s almost 8:00 PM and I’m still at the bank, got a heavy work for the whole day. I decided to go home at around 8:25 PM. I dropped by the fast-food, bought some food and as I turned, I saw a flower shop I went to it and asked the lady for assistance and had a three stems of white roses.
On my way home, as I passed the house of my Special Someone. As I went to see her, I noticed that it was quite silent. However, I was having second thoughts as I stand in the front door. It almost felt like it was my first time doing this stuff. So, I decided not to go anymore thinking that she’s tired and resting. As I turn to leave, I suddenly heard a footsteps coming down. I knew it was her for almost everything in her existence my heart knows her heartbeat, for her every deep sighs, I know when she is in the mood just by looking at her very expressive eyes.
I hurriedly hide at the tree nearby; it was funny to think because my body is much bigger than the tree thinking that she may not be able to find me. “Meron po bang tao dito?” she called. I held my breathe, closed my eyes hoping she won’t find me for I don’t know what to say if she ask me what I am was doing there at this late.
It was very silent, hearing only the noise of night animals. I felt relieved then I began to walk going home while the three white roses I unconsciously hit it in my legs until few petals left. Three blocks away from their home, I nearly jumped into surprise because somebody in my back spoke “Bakit mo naman sinasayang yan, para ba kanino yan?”(She’s asking me why I am wasting the flower and for whom it is). I turned back and found it was-(delete) her. “Why did you follow me?” I asked. “Para ba kanino yan?”, she asked me again. “To the girl I loved the most” my stuttered answer. Of course she knew who I am referring to. “Let’s have a sit there”, she said pointing beside the road. “Give me that flowers I know it’s for me.” I laughed, “You conceited, are you sure that I am referring to you?” I said. “Why, am not me?” she asked. I don’t know if I’m just mesmerized for what I’ve seen, but I think she’s quite hurt asking such question.
After a while, I hold her hand and said, “I am sorry, honestly it’s for you.” Whooa! I was really nervous; my hands are almost icy saying that very short sentence. After a long silence she asked, “Why?” Whooa! Another hard question. Anyway, I’m there so I thought maybe it’s the right time to tell her how I feel. “Dahil Mahal Kita” I whispered. I was still holding her hand, waiting for her to response. She’s looking at nowhere. She can’t look at me directly as I am trying to catch her eyes. It’s a strange feeling because she’s not that type. Tonight she was different. Silent, her hands are cold, little bit of body shaking; she can’t look me in the eye. Everything is almost strange.
I got enough courage for I know I have a chance. I tried my best to have her eyes look directly to mine, and then I asked, “Do you love me too?” She didn’t answer. “Do you love me too? because I Love You so much.” I repeated my question, this time my face got closer to hers; I can almost feel her kissable lips. Again she didn’t answer. She’s looking to somewhere, trying to divert her attention to other things. I didn’t want to let the moment pass by without knowing how she really feels for me. I closed my eyes and began to touch her soft lips. I was quite nervous for two reasons. First, because it’s my first time to kiss and I don’t know if I doing it right. Secondly, she might slap me for taking advantage. Whoooa! I felt I was in cloud 9. The feeling is very hard to explain, as the cliché goes “Words are not enough’.
I asked sweetly “Do you love me, too?” Although I already know her answer, I still asked just so to confirm. She gently slapped my face, “You already kissed me. I guess the answer is quite obvious”, she said teasingly. Suddenly a smile flashed in my lips, “Please say honey that you love me too, I just want to hear it.” “Mr. Marc, mahal na mahal kita” Whoooa! It still felt good. So damn good I almost felt like floating to heaven. I smiled and said, “I love you too honey”. Then I kissed her again.
After our “magical moment”, we still stayed out there for sometime. We talked, exchanged sweet nothings and all that, savoring the moment that she’s officially my girl. Then we decided to go home. We walked leisurely under the moon and the stars like other lovers, holding hands.
July 17, 2008. At the bank, back to work, here I am so sleepy. Reason: I wasn’t able to sleep last night but the feeling is like Cloud 9.
Memories are the most significant things in my life
A memory is the only thing I can bring it along with me when I die.
