“Marco,” I called as I started shaking him. “Uy, Iñigo! Gising na,” I added and continued shaking him when he stirred a little.
He slowly opened his eyes and smiled when he saw me, but then he closed them again and hugged me as he went on to doze off again.
I rolled my eyes. “Hay nako naman. Baby, gising!” I shook him harder kaya napilitan siyang gumising ulit.
“Bakit?” He blandly asked as he wiped his eyes with his hand and let out a yawn.
I pulled him up. I pulled the blanket too dahil malamig and put it around me. I dragged him to the balcony of our room and grinned at him.
“Say hello to our first sunrise in Japan!” I announced merrily with my arms wide open. He laughed softly as he hugged me. Nakisali na din siya sa loob ng blanket, baka gininaw na din.
“So this is why you were cutting off my sleep,” he said with a smile and rested his chin on my shoulder. “But wow, this is worth it. Sa ilang beses kong pumunta dito, ngayon ko lang na-witness ang sunrise.”
I smiled as I wow my eyes with the mesmerizing view in front of us. Hindi ko naman first time makakita ng magandang sunrise but this is definitely the best I’ve seen. Ibang klase ‘yung ganda nito, parang it opens you up to something more. Or is it because there’s something about the hue of this place that makes this one more magnificent than the others?
Or maybe because of the feel of having the love of your life witnessing this one with you? Yay!
“Baby, ang ganda,” I uttered in so much awe as I intertwined my fingers with his.
“Oo, parang ikaw,” he whispered and I felt a shiver in my spine. I felt myself blush bigtime nung na-realize kong ginamitan ako ng sexy voice ng loko, kainis.
I turned to him at ready na akong sana akong sungitan siya, but I melted the moment I saw him look at me. Nakakainis na ‘yang look of love mo na ‘yan, Marco, huh! Quota na ako agad sa kilig, eh, kapag ganyan. Kaasar!
I stared at him for a long while before I thought of a little something. Wala na akong pakialam kung bagong gising kami or whatever, basta itey na! Before I thought of changing my mind, I tiptoed, cupped his face with my hands, pulled him, and kissed him on the lips. My eyes instantly closed the moment his lips touched mine. Ramdam kong nagulat siya kasi natigilan siya. I thought of him not liking it so I pulled away. Ano ba ‘yan, minsan na nga lang maging aggressive, eh. Buzzkill naman ‘to.
But before I could open my eyes, he pulled me back, cupped my face, and I felt his lips on mine once again. Jusmiyo, ano ba ‘to? I thought to myself as he started to kiss me more, which I gave back with similar intensity.
Iba ang feels sa Japan!
“Happy first day of the month, Baby,” he whispered to me when we pulled away. He was still holding me. I smiled with my eyes closed. My gosh, kinikilig ako, please!
“Happy first day of the month,” I replied and hugged him tight.

Almost 9AM na nung lumabas kami para mag-gala around Tokyo. Todo kapit ako kay Marco kasi giniginaw pa rin ako kahit balot na balot na ako, tsaka baka mawala ako dito, hindi pa naman ako marunong mag-Niponggo.
Whoah, ang ganda naman dito! Medyo tulala kong sabi sa sarili ko as I looked around. Ang colorful, nakakatuwa. Mas maganda siguro dito kapag gabi. Hindi ko kasi masyadong napansin kagabi kasi antok na antok na ako pagdating namin dito, nakatulog talaga ako sa cab papuntang hotel. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung nasaang lupalop kami ng Tokyo, pati name ng hotel na pinag-stay-an namin, hindi ko din alam. Ang galing kong turista.
