-Yyo-
I never thought that simple giggles and smiles can make my day a little more brighter as I watch Dreamy tell stories about the latest korean drama she watched. I am watching her, yes. Because though I can hear her voice and understand her words, I am being distracted.
Ang ganda ng mga ngiti nya. Ang sarap nyang pag masdan.
I can stare at her for hours and I dont think it will ever be enough.
" You are not listening to me."
" Huh??"
She went closer and poke my nose with her finger and then smile.
" You are just staring at me and not listening."
" You are so beautiful, you're almost like a dream."
" 😳 "
I held her hands from across the table.
" I can stare at you for hours.."
" Is this the scene where you will say I love you? Because, if it is, then, I love you too.."
Alam mo yung pakiramdam kapag pababa na ung roller coaster sa loop? Ganun na ganon ung hulog ng puso ko.
" Y-yeah... I love you.."
The world seems to stop around us. The moment feels like a pure bliss and enchantment.

It was the day before Christmas. The Faulkersons decided to celebrate at their New York home since restaurants and hotels are almost all fully booked.
Maine and Rj are busy working around the kitchen preparing their Christmas eve feast. Ocean and Rain are with Maine's Aunt and cousins who drop by to pick up the kids and promise to return the afternoon.
Yyo sat quietly on one of the stool in the island counter. His creasing brows and deep sighs didnt escape Maine's attention.
She put down her wisk and turn the heat low. Wash her hands and sat on the stool infront of Yyo. Side by side with Rj.
It took a over five minutes before Yyo realized that his parents are seated infront of him with their cup of coffee waiting for him to notice them.
Maine smiled at him when he finally notice them.
M: What are you worried about, Yyo?
Y: ...
R: Hindi mo ba pupuntahan si Dreamy? 3pm ang flight nila sa Missouri.
Y: Mommy, Daddy..
M: hmmm?
Y: Daddy, remember when I asked you how did you know that it mommy is the one?
R: Hmm.. When you know, you know.
Y: Exactly, Dad. I know now. I feel it. She's the one..
M: How?
Yyo tap his chest where his heart is.
Y: This heart knows, Mommy. It beats for her. And when I look at her, I see my whole universe. Just like how Daddy see his through you.
The parents were quiet for a second. Taking everything in.
M: Im not going to cry like you are going to get married tomorrow, Yyo. Just... Take it slow and easy. And keep your heart happy.
R: Nandito lang kami lagi, anak.
Y: Thank you...
M: Now, tell us what you have in mind. Hindi ko alam kung ilang beses ko na nilagyan ng asin yung spagetti kakabilang sa buntong hininga mo kanina.
