I'm in relationship for 5 years. His name is jared—my everything. He came when my world fell into pieces, he fixed me. Kahit presensya niya lang ay masaya na ako, even he's not talking, whenever I see his angelic face my mood automatically change.
"Love. Bakit lagi kang masaya tuwing kasama mo ako? I don't see anything special in me." he asked out of curiosity.
I smiled.
"I believe that when you are in the right person, his presence is enough. You are genuinely happy having him." I replied.
Kumunot naman ang noo nito. Tila hindi niya naintindihan ang aking sinabi.
"I mean, having you is more than enough. I'm lacking of words right now, but I see my future in you." I pinched his nose.
Jared is the ideal type of boyfriend. We made a lots of memories together, and our favorite hobby is travelling and exploring new things together. We shared our dark secret to each other, showered together, surrendered our first kiss to each other in front of the thousands stars and lastly we explored different countries together. Basically, he is the man that I've searching for a long time.

Today is our 5 years and 1 month in our relationship. We celebrate month by month, to reward ourself because we surpass another month together.
I immediately drive home with cake that I bought in cake shop that near in my office. Ngiting-ngiti ako nang makarating ako sa tapat ng aming condo, holding the cake with the message on top of it, tiyak na matutuwa siya.
I took the key out of my pocket and immediately opened the door.
"Surprise!" he shouted as I fully opened the door.
Nilibot ko ang buong paningin ko. I saw a lots of balloons hanging in ceiling, red lights that produced by the led, bouquet of flowers on the table and he is wearing a cow costume that made me confused.
"What's with that?" natatawang tanong ko.
"We are having a pajama party, love! Yours is in our bedroom. I hope you will like it!" he said joyfully.
I grin from ear to ear as I went to our room. His silly surprise always complete our celebration.
"That's cute, love! Let's take picture." he grabbed my waist for us to be close.
"1...2...3!" he clicked the camera. We both seems happy on that pic.
"Hahahahaha baboy." he laughed.
A sullen pout plastered on my face.
"Hindi ba bagay? Pangit ba ako? Hahaha sorry." I uttered.
He hugged me tight.
"Stop that sad face, love. You're making me insane, over and over again. Bakit kaya mong maging malungkot at cute at the same time?" he asked that made me blushed.
"I mean you're cute on that costume. Happy monthsary, Ali. I hope we lasts." dugtong nito.
"Yes we will lasts forever. Magkakaroon tayo ng masayang pamilya, in God's guide." I said.
After a long chitchat, we do a lot of things. We watched our favorite movie, played pillow fights and drunk together. I can't afford to lose him.
but...
There's always a storm.
"Who is this girl named Athena in your contacts?" We both know the passcode of each other's phone, kaya wala kaming maitatago sa isa't-isa.
"Friend of mine. I met her in work." maikling tugon nito. My brows frowed.
"You sure?" paninigurado ko. Ngayon ko lang kasi nakita ang pangalan na iyan sa kaniyang telepono.
