CAPTAIN
It's been two days since we arrived here at Batanes. Ngayon kababalik lang namin sa villa and Dennise excused herself because she'll take a bath. Sabi niya sa veranda lang daw muna ako hanggang sa matapos siya.
The sun has already set and Mr. Moon is now smiling at me, feeling what I also feel right now. Contentment and surrealism. Cold breeze are touching my skin as if they are agreeing with the choices I made.
Upon sitting here and just watching the undeniably gorgeous view of Batanes at night, I can't help but to wonder what on earth did I do to deserve such an angel with me. I am referring to my wife.
One message received
From: Anton
Pare anuna ganap? Btw auko abalahin kau sa loving loving niyo pero pwd ba magpbli ng souvenirs dyan? bayad ko nlng pgbalik niyo d2 thx so much :^)
My forehead automatically creased when I saw Anton's message. I thought it's a life an death situation where I'll be needing to fly back to Manila, hindi naman pala!
I was about to turn off my phone again when it buzzed and I had to irritatingly open it. A message from Frank. With my eyes rolling, I read the message.
From: Frank

ay sorry wrong send magkasunod kc name nyo n jill sa contact ko
I didn't reply to their messages and placed my phone somewhere far from me to avoid any distractions. I just wanna savour the experience. Mahal din tour package!
"Mahal," I stood up after I heard Dennise called my name. I went straight inside and got so surprised when I saw rose petals scattered on the floor. The lights were dim and bottle of wine were on the table top.
"Okay..." I mumbled, busy looking at her preparations. She shyly approaches me, kissing my cheeks. "Hindi ako sanay..." I added.
"Me too." she replied, I chuckled. Dennise bit her lower lip first before letting out a heartily laugh. "Goddammit. I don't know how to do this thing, babe, but let me just..."
A small vintage radio is on the side, she pressed a button and a nostalgic romantic opm song played.
Sandal mo sana ang ulo mo sa unan
Katawan mo ay aking kukumutan
Mga problema'y iyong malilimutan
Habang tayo'y magkayakap sa dilim
Dennise placed her arms above my shoulders as I put mine on her waist and we let the music consume us by just dancing into the melody of the song.
Huwag mong pigilin kung nais mapaluha
Pakiramdam mo sana'y guminhawa
Kung gusto mo ay magsigarilyo muna
