Althea's POV:
"SAAN ba tayo pupunta?" I asked Ravi ng nasa loob na kami ng sasakyan.
He was extra sweet to me.
"If I'll tell you, it'll ruin the element of surprise." He said then winked at me.
Nakaramdam naman ako ng kilig sa kanya.
Pero slight lang.
We arrived in this beautiful and solemn outdoor garden restaurant dito lang sa may Pasay.
Sobrang tahimik and nakaka-relax.
May mga ilaw sa mga puno that makes it more romantic.
"It's so beautiful." I exclaimed.
Namangha talaga ako sa ganda ng lugar.
"You deserved this." Ravi whispered.
I can feel chills as he said that.
Napangiti naman ako.
"Let's go?" Hinawakan nya naman ang mga kamay ko at naglakad kami sa isang table.
Kami lang ang nandito sa labas kaya mas naging comfortable ako.
May lumapit naman na waiter sa amin and took our orders.
"I'll have the bolognese and..."
He was waiting for my order.
"Ravioli Spinach"
I answered.
"And for the drinks sir?"
"White wine."
Sagot naman ni Ravi.
We talked about our childhood memories throughout the dinner.
Kung bakit niya niligawan si Anna, bakit niya ako nagustuhan.
"Alam mo naman kung anong ibig sabihin ng willow girl. You need to make sure na sya ang makakatuluyan mo kasi kung hindi, tatandang binata ka." He chuckled.
Natawa din ako.
"Do you believe in that?" He asked me.
Naisip ko naman si Sandro.
How he became my willow man.
How he made me fall in love with him.
How he broke my heart.
How he betrayed me.
And how he changed my perspective in love.
"No.. not anymore" I answered as I took a sip of my wine.
Ravi gave me subtle smile.
"Have you found him?"
"Your willow man?" Tanong niya ulit.
I didn't want to answer him pero pag hindi ko naman sinagot he will know that I already did.
There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet youBigla naman tumugtog ang kanta ni Taylor Swift.
"Can I have this dance with you?"
He asked me.
"Hoy.. nakakahiya..." Medyo nahiya ako ng slight.
"Don't be.. tayo lang naman ang andito eh" He reached for my hand and hindi ko naman sya matanggahin.
"Come on... I'll lead the way..." He said.
Pagdating namin sa gitna, we slowed dance.
Ang tangkad talaga ni Ravi.
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
That this night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet youI can feel my heart beating faster as he slowly tighten his arms around my waist.
"Althea... I like you..." He suddenly said.
Napatigil naman ako sa pagsayaw.
"Ravi..."
"Don't feel pressure... I can wait for you... hihintayin ko na mahalin mo ako." He whispered at ngumiti sya sa akin.
I can feel the sincerity in his eyes.
The same thing I have always looked for in Sandro.
Nawala ito ng dumating si Diane sa buhay namin
Hindi ko naman alam kung anong mararamdaman ko.
I care for Ravi.. he is the only person who has always been there for me.
He looked me in the eyes and slowly leaned on me.
Bigla nya akong niyakap ng mahigpit.
It feels good to know that somewhere out there, may isang tao pala ang nagmamahal sa atin ng hindi natin alam.
Ravi held me tighter at napayakap na din ako sa kanya.
This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the story line ends
My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again
These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet youSANDRO'S POV:
What hurts the most than seeing the love of your life starting to fall for someone else?
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on youRamdam ng puso ko ang bawat salita sa kanta.
I saw how Althea looked at Ravi 'cause she used to looked at me like that too.
Alam ko... nahuhulog na ang loob nya kay Ravi.
I was able to follow them kahit nahirapan akong makapasok sa restaurant na ito.
What a great timing to see them dancing in slowmo with this song.
I know Althea, she's not a fan of all this romantic dinner date but she deserves this.
I should be the one to give this to her but it was Ravi.
Si Ravi ang nakapag-bigay sa kanya ng pagmamahal na ipinagkait ko sa kanya.
I felt my tears falling down my cheeks.
Ramdam ko kung paano humina ang tibok ng puso ko.
My Althea... is starting to fall in love with someone else.
