I wish you exist in my reality.

"Maxine Montefalco, will you be my girlfriend?" Gino asked me while kneeling on the ground and holding my right hand.
We are now the center of attention, and every students around are taking some photos and videos.
It's University day... and also the day that I'll answer him 'Yes.'
"Go maxx!! Sagutin mo na 'yan!!" My friend shouted at my back.
"YES! YES! YES!" all the students screamed in unison.
Gino have been courting me for 1 year, and I think I'm lucky kasi hindi siya sumuko knowing that he's popular here in our school.
Lahat yata ng babaeng gusto niya ay napapasakanya. Baka nga mag confess lang siya ay sila na agad.
But I'm not like them, hindi ako tulad ng mga naging ex niya.
I have my name and dignity, and it is something he needs to respect.
I told him before that if he really loves me, he should be willing to wait until I say 'Yes.'
And I guess he really loves me.
I can feel it.
I closed my eyes.
This is it maxx, you only need to say one word. A 'yes.' maxx. I said in my mind.
Huminga ako ng malalim.

I opened my eyes... And then...
"Oh, buti naman at gumising kana! Tanghaling tapat na maxine! Saan kaba nanggaling kagabi ha!?"
