EIFFEL TOWER,PARIS,FRANCE
6:30 PM

A cold breeze of night scenery hugged me.I was just wearing a long red night dress although lamigin ako tuwing gabi ay ipinagwalang bahala ko na lang iyon.I was still standing in front of big huge giant tower.

I smiled sadly.

My chest starts to feel heavy for remembering someone I wish was there also.Beside me,holding my hands as we witness the spectacular lights show of Eiffel tower. A tower has also marine lights that shines from the top and reflects out across the whole city.It was so lovely and entertaining.

Bumabadya ang mga luhang kanina ko pa pinipigilang lumabas.Sumasabay ang mabigat na nararamdaman ko sa lamig ng paligid.

If I don't feel incomplete I would probably enjoy the beautiful view of this Eiffel Tower.

This was a promised destination.
Hindi ko alam na mas magiging emosyonal ako sa mga sandaling ito dahil akala ko, okay na ako.

"Where are you,Eros?"mahinang sambit ko,pinipigilang umiyak ngunit bigo pa rin ako para pigilan ang mga ito.

Hanggang ngayon umaasa pa rin ako na nandito siya.Umaasa pa rin akong tutuparin niya ang mga pangako niya.

I was here because it was a promise first.
How could I make myself happy if there's someone I want to feel...I want to be with me the rest of my life.

There's alot of people crossing in front of me but my eyes were only fixed in the tower. Some are stopping also to take a photo of beautiful scenery.

"Kahit manlang sana 'yong hahanapin mo ako,sana tinupad mo." I said while wiping my tears off.

"I was a successful writer now,Eros.I also wrote our story and I can't believe to myself nakaya ko lahat ng 'yon.Na kaya kong isulat nang wala ka na,"
Para na akong baliw sa mga sandaling ito dahil kinakausap ko 'yong hangin sa harap ko.

"I can't believe that our story gained a million of reads.Nasaan ka na ba? How can I write the Book 2 of Until We Meet if until now...hindi pa rin tayo nagkikita,ha!" I blurted out looking to the tower imagining he's the one I'm talking with.

A man's voice makes me froze in my place.
A voice that I heard a years ago.A voice that used to be my comfort and my strength.

"Nandito na ako,Mahal."

Mas lalong bumuhos ang mga luha ko.Mas lalong bumigat 'yong nararamdaman ko.Knowing that the man I was searching was just now an inches from me.

Hindi ako makapaniwala.

Napatingin ako sa kamay ko nang dahan-dahan niya iyong abutin.Walang tigil ang paglabas ang mga luha ko nang dahan-dahan kong iangat ang tingin ko pataas para tignan siya.

Nanghihina ang tuhod ko hindi ko maipaliwanag ang saya na nararamdaman ng puso ko.

He kissed my hands with a tears in his eyes too.

"Eros." Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at niyakap siya ng sobrang napakahigpit at humagulhol sa bisig niya.For the first time,I saw him.I touched him.I hugged him.I felt him.

Sobrang tagal kong pinangarap 'yong makita ko siya.

"Nandito ka nga,"hindi makapaniwalang saad ko at humagulhol pa rin.

Nandito siya sa Paris, nandito 'yong lalaking matagal ko ng hinahanap at gustong makasama.
I heard him laugh and hug me tightier.

"I've been searching you along time ago.Pinuntahan kita sa lugar niyo but you're not there.Ang tigas talaga ng ulo mo.I told you na pupuntahan kita sainyo but you go to Manila."

Humiwalay ako sa pagkakayakap sakaniya.

"Hinanap mo 'ko?" I asked in surprised.

Ngumiti siya and ngayon ko lang na-appreaciate ang ayos niya. He's also wearing a red polo shirt.He's more handsome in person compare dati na sa video call lang kami nagkikita at nag-uusap.

"Of course.That was my promise to you, remember?"puno ng pagsusumamo ang boses niya habang sinasabi iyon.

My God.His voice is more manly and sexy right now added with his manly scent that makes him more captivating.

"Kailan pa?Bakit 'di ko alam?" a curiosity plastered on my face.

'Hinanap niya pala talaga ako'

May kung ano dito sa loob ko ang hindi maipaliwanag na saya at tuwa.Knowing that he really did fulfill his promises.

"That was a year ago.I just looked at you from afar.Nasaktan ako Sol kaya hindi ko magawang makalapit sayo." Paliwanag niya na siyang ikinanuot ng noo ko.

He cupped my face and dried off my tears.He intently direct his eyes into mine.

"I saw you with someone that time. I got jealous although 'di ko naman alam kung sino 'yong lalaking iyon sa buhay mo.I was wrong.Hindi kita nilapitan although napag-usapan naman natin dati ang ganuong bagay.I'm sorry if I wasted a lot of years to find you and you waste your time too."nagsusumamo ang mga mata niya noong mga oras na 'yon.

I don't know but I just kissed him after hearing those words.

Ramdam ko ang pagkagulat niya sa ginawa ko.I just smiled while feeling his lips.
Ramdam ko rin ang pagngiti nito habang patuloy kaming nakapikit.

In his arms I felt found.I felt loved.I felt home.
And lastly I felt complete.

This was just a dream before.Isa lang itong pangarap namin dati and our time together didn't get wasted.

Wala akong pakialam kung pinagtitingan man kami ng mga tao sa mga oras na 'to. All I had in my head is...I am with the man I waited for a long time. A man whom I fell with his promises.

"H-how do you know I was here,Eros." I whispered as I opened my eyes to look him.

Nagulat pa ko nang pagkamulat ko ay nakatingin siya sa mukha ko.

"I was there already.Hindi kita naisipang hintayin dahil hindi na kita mahanap ulit.And I was happy when I linked your Facebook story that you're going here.Nagulat pa ako nang mag-post ka du'n. 3 years mo iyong hindi binuksan," sagot niya.

He titled his head towards the Eiffel Tower in front of us.

"This tower will be the witness that I had fulfill all of my promises to you, Sol."

He said as a captivating smile plastered on his pretty face.

A memories in the past suddenly appeared in my head.

Where our story started.

We had no classes that time when I was still practicing to play mobile legends.My friends really pushed me to learn this game.At first it really frustrating but then as I learned it,it actually makes me happy.

Until there's a one player invited to take part to play in classic.

His name and avatar urged me to accept him.
Until I enjoyed myself playing with him until he asked me to be his confidant until we became comfortable with each other.

We even gave our social media accounts so that we can talk there until we confessed our feelings.At first there's no label, and it doesn't really matter to the both of us.

Pareho kami ng nararamdaman at 'yon ang mahalaga sa'min.Hindi mahalaga 'yong status namin dahil masaya naman kami araw-araw mapalaro man o mapausap.

Until we create our first promise na magkikita kami.

It is really impossible because we're still a student that time.We're still dreaming to graduate and to find a job.

We are a thousand miles away but one else is so close to my heart than him.
My heart choose to love a distant man.
I didn't choose him, my heart does.

We both didn't waste our time.
We kept our promises Until We Meet.
