Rainfall Amidst The Horizon

47

Ten na ng gabi at nagsimula ng magkasiyahan ang lahat. Hinahanda ko na ang sarili ko dahil may surprise ako kay, San.

"I'm so happy. This is the best christmas that I never thought of. Plus, having you in my life is unexpected. My star, I love you so much always and forever. I love you." He hugged me.

"I love you more. Thank you for making true everything I never thought of. I love you." Hinalikan nya ang tuktok ng ulo ko.

Pagsapit ang alas-dose ay ginayak ko na ang surprise ko. I will sing for him.

"Everyone, pay attention. This song is dedicated to the man who caught my heart. To the man I loved the most, San Branwen. Listen." Nagsimulang tumugtog ang instrumento.

Wala syang kaalam-alam. Gusto kong matawa sa reaction nya.

"Baby, take my hand
I want you to be my husband
'Cause you're my Iron Man
And I love you 3000
Baby, take a chance
'Cause I want this to be something
Straight out of a Hollywood movie..." Panandalian kong ipinikit ang aking mata para damhin ang mga sandali.

Nakita ko syang nakatitig lang sa akin. Ang pamilya namin ay nakangiting pinanood ako.

"I see you standing there
In your hulk outerwear
And all I can think Is where is the ring
'Cause I know you wanna ask
Scared the moment will pass
I can see it in your eyes
Just take me by surprise..." I saw him genuinely smiling. I smiled sweetly at him.

"And all my friends they tell me they see
You're planning to get on one knee
But I want it to be out of the blue
So make sure I have no clue
When you ask..." Lumapit sila lalo sa akin. Nilabas nila lahat ng cellphone nila at kinuhanan ako ng video.

Lumapit sa akin si, San na may dalang bouquet ng bulaklak. White and red roses are there. Tumayo ako at lumapit sa kanya. Itinuloy ko ang pagkanta.

"Baby, take my hand
I want you to be my husband
'Cause you're my Iron Man
And I love you 3000
Baby, take a chance
'Cause I want this to be something
Straight out of a Hollywood movie..." Ibinigay nya sa akin ang bulaklak at hinalikan ako sa noo. Narinig ko pa kung paano maghiyawan ang pamilya namin.

Nagulat ako nang bigla syang lumuhod sa harapan ko at naglabas ng maliit na kahon. Tumulo bigla ang luha ko.

Hindi ko alam ang nangyayari. Nakita kong may luha na rin na nagbabadyang pumatak mula sa kanyang mga mata.

Dahan-dahan nyang binuksan ang kahon. Napatakip ako ng bibig. There's a ring with three stones.

Tumingin sya sa akin ng nakangiti. All I could see in his eyes was happiness. His eyes says it all.

"In front of our family, I'm giving you this promise ring to signify my infinity love for you. This ring will represents our memories. Will you wear this ring and spend the rest of your life with me?" Nakita kong may pumatak na luha sa mata nya.

Nakita kong nagpunas ng luha sila mama at, Ate. Nakita ko rin na umiiyak sila, Tita Yna at si Sir.

This is the most memorable christmas for me. I never thought of someone giving me a promise ring.

"Yes. Yes, I'm willing to wear that ring and spend the rest of my life with you. It's a big yes!" I hugged him.

Sinuot nya sa akin ang singsing at hinalikan ako sa noo.

"I love you so much and to beyond eternity, my love. Thank you." Bulong nya sa akin.

Sobrang mahal ko ang lalaking ito. Hindi ko alam kung anong magiging buhay kapag wala sya.

I'm forever thankful and grateful to, God for giving a man like him to me.

The brightest star will never lose her light and forever shine because light will never get tired to keep her shine.
