"Did you bring the picnic blanket?" tanong ko kay Jieven

"Yes ma'am." pinakita niya sa akin ang hawak niyang basket na may checkered blanket

After lunch both of us decided to have a mini picnic sa spot namin, malapit sa rock formations.

Nilapag ko ang picnic blanket sa ilalim ng puno at isa-isa naming nilabas yung mga snacks na nakalagay sa basket.

Mommy prepared this for us, meron din sila doon kaso hindi na sila sumama sa amin dahil baka daw mapagod si Henrik.

Umupo si Jieven malapit sa akin, tinutok niya sa akin yung polaroid camera. Ngumiti ako when he started to count, the photo will be printed right away sa film.

He grabbed the photo at kinuha ang phone niya na nakalagay sa basket, he switched his phone case into a clear one.

Nilagay niya yung photo ko sa likod ng phone niya, kinuha ko yung polaroid camera and I also took a photo of him.

Nilagay ko din sa likod ng phone ko yung photo niya, he's smiling while holding the wine glass with grape juice.

I laughed, "feel na feel akala mo naman wine talaga ang nasa glass."

"It looks cute naman." ngumiti siya

I grabbed my phone and opened the app spotify, namili ako ng kanta para naman hindi lang alon ang naririnig namin.

I played our playlist on shuffle, biglang tumugog ang 'Marry Me by Train'.

Agad na sinabayan ni Jieven ang kanta kaya't nakisabay na din ako, he held my hand and looked at me while singing.

Together can never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you
And you're beautiful

Nanatili lang akong nakatingin sakanya habang kumakanta at dinadama ang bawat salita.

Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally showed her my way
Marry me
Today and every day

Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will

He kissed my hand and smiled at me.

Promise me you'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to sing to you
When all the music dies

And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will

He didn't let go of my hand, he fixed my hair that's been blown by the wind. Nilagyan niya ng white gumamela ang right ear ko, napangiti ako.

Kinuha niya yung phone niya at binuksan ang camera, naglagay siya ng timer at sinandal sa basket ang phone.

We took photos and filmed videos for memories that we will collect, agad naman naming niligpit ang mga dala namin bago bumalik sa resort.

Habang naglalakad ay nakasalubong namin yung friends ni Jieven, all of them waved at me and said "hi".

"Aishelle, this is Hiro and Juaquinn. Hindi ko pa sila napapakilala, they're from Manila." ngumiti siya sa akin same with the two boys beside him
