Falling to the Spotlight

Chapter 33

Chapter 33 

Forgive 

Looking at the man in front of me giving me his warming smile and the thought of we are the only person inside this fancy restaurant make me feel like there is magic around us. It makes me feel like we are in a fairy tale even though I used to hate it because of my cruel past but because of the man in front of me it makes me feel like I am in my own fairytale. 

"Spent this fairytale like night with me my love. I remember Tita said to me you are a girl who dream to live like a princess with your own prince charming. She also said that you dream of dancing like what other princess experience. Let me be your prince charming tonight and forever, Chandria." he said kaya hindi ko na napigilan pa at tumulo na yung mga luha ko. 

"It's your birthday, why are you doing this? This day is for you." I said while tears are falling in my eyes. 

This is this day pero ito ang ginagawa niya ngayon instead he is the one who will feel that he is special parang nabaliktad. He should be the one being surprise right now but it's not because he choose to surprise me. 

"You are my life now, Chantal. This day will be nothing when my life is not with me and if my life is not happy." he said at tinalikuran niya ako at mabilis na lumapit sa grand piano at umupo doon. 

Nakatayo lang ako sa pwesto kung saan niya ako binitawan at nakatingin lang ako sa kanya. I saw him looking at me and smile before playing something in the piano. At first the song he is playing is not familiar to me not until he started singing. 

I never dreamed'Cause I always thought that dreaming was for kids
Just a childish thing
And I could swear
Love was just a game that children play 

And no more than a game

When he started singing the lyrics nalaman ko na agad that song become one of the soundtrack of one of my series and him singing this now makes me tear up.

'Til I met you
I never knew what love was
'Til I met you
This feeling seems to grow more every day 

I didn't know that there will be a song that describe what we feel to each other. Just like the lyrics since I met him that is when our feelings for each other start but we are too close minded para hindi mapansin yun but every passing day that certain feeling grows until we realize it. 

I love you more each day
I believe you
I believe in every word that you say
I love you all the way
Now I can swear
Love is not a game that children play 

He look at me while he is singing. He is singing the song like he is telling our story he is singing it casually but it turn out so good. He gave me a smile and my tears won't stop falling. Hindi ko na napigilan pa ang sarili ko at mabilis akong tumakbo papunta sa kung nasaan siya and kiss him and I feel him response to me at tumayo na din siya mula sa pagkakaupo sa harap ng piano and embrace me para mas magdikit pa kami. 

While our lips are busy with each other my tears keeps on falling but I don't care anymore I am so overwhelmed right now kakaibang pakiramdam yung nararamdaman ko pakiramdam ko sasabog ako pag hindi ko naiparamdam sa kanya. 

"I love you... Thank you for coming to my life." I said when we let go of each other but our face are still close to each other and I am having a hard time talking dahil sa pag-iyak ko. 

He wipe my tears for me "Shush... I love you more, stop crying." 

"Why are you like this? I should be the one doing this. You should be the one who is surprise." I said and he chuckled and hug me kaya niyakap ko na lang din siya pabalik at pinilit ang sarili ko na wag ng umiyak.
