Napakaganda ng araw, the sunshine, the breezes with th pollen and dancing leaves and flowers on the ground

Nakahiga kami ni Yuhan sa blanket habang palibot namin yung mga bulaklak

I lay my head on his arm while I can feel that he is sleeping

I look at his sweet gaze while I love wtaching him sleep with the tip of his hair on his forehead

Napangiti naman ako na para ba'ng ito ang pinaka-masaya ko'ng araw sa aking boung buhay

I drew much closer at tumagilid ng kunti at nakaharap sa kaniya sabay embrace ko sa kaniya habang yung kamay ko ay nasa dibdib niya. I breathe and out, smoothly, I took a glance at the sky before I close my eyes as I feel his warmth

// - Flashes -

I refresh those new detailed memories we just had earlier

Those laughter we had, those smiles we share and the glance he took at me in which will be pinned on my mind forever

We run and play, like kids and those times is bringing me to tars that I wish and pray na mararamdaman ko na talaga yung kaligayahan

I've been buried in heart ache, but now I hope he will be the one that will mend my soul

// - End -

" E-Elijah? "

Agad na ako'ng napamulat nang dahan-dahan na siyang tumayo kaya wala ako'ng magawa kundi tumayo na'din

" I have to drop you home, I promised your day na uuwi ka before 3 o'clock.."

He said in a serious way nang saglit ay nawala din yung ngiti sa aking mga labi

Quickly, he smile at me in comfort feeling as she fix my hair

" I wish that you're happy--"

" -- I am! Yuhan, I am-- please let's be like this, forever " I please as I quickly hold his hands

" I-I.. Eli--"

* Phone Rings *

Agad naman niya itong sinagot at tumalikod na muna sa akin

I was left with my mouth open in uncontentment. I just sigh and bow my head down

" This is just the start.. I know he will love me.."

I try to stop this tears when before it reach on my cheek, agad naman itong nawala dulot sa pagkalakas na ihip ng hangin

I can hear the ' hang-up ' sound as I can feel his eyes on my back. I didn't turn around and just stand here na parang ayaw ko pa'ng umuwi

" I have to get you home.."

I just nod with my head down nang sandali ay naramdaman ko nalang yung kamay niya sa akin nang dahan-dahan nalang akong napalingon sa kaniya

he look at me directly on my eyes sabay ngiti ng kunti " Let's go.."

I just smile back as we walk back to where it all started

I know it takes time, and I know na hindi pa ngayon yung panahon na yun..

Naglakad kami ng napakatahimik at tanging bulong lang ng hangin, dahon at bulaklak lang ang aking naririnig

I walk with his side as he was the one who's holding my hand, his eyes is straight to the path of the exit of the garden

Please Yuhan, ikaw lang yung lalaking tinatangi ko'ng mamahalin din ako, bigyan mo naman ako ng pagkakataon

I look back at the gate when we're almost to his parked car on the pavement, he quickly get his key and press the button as it beeps

" Uuwi naba talaga ako?"

He stopped habang ako na yung mismo na nakahawak sa kaniyang kamay

He look at me and nod without any word

" Elijah.. I'm sorry "

" No! It's okay, alam ko na mamahalin mo din ako balang araw, I know you will, Yuhan" I said with my hopeful feeling sabay ngit sa kaniya nang agad ko na siyang yinakap ng mahigpit

" Elijah, please--"

" --Don't make me give up"

Yakap na yakap ko siya ng todo while I knew that he didn't hug me back

" Pagod kana.. Let's go home"

Nakatingin lang ako sa kaniya ng medyo desmaya, I just smile again and just walk straight to his car

Bago ko pa man mahawakan ang door, agad na niyang binuksan ito para sa akin

I glance at him at pumasok na ako sa kotse nang bago pa ako maka-upo ay parang matutumba na ako

I almost fell on the floor of the car as I panicked to hold the arm of the seat

" E-Elijah!"

Yung paningin ko sa paligid ay medyo malabo, lalo na kay Yuhan na naka against-the-light

I breathe hard nang ramdam ko ang panghihina ng aking katawan lalo na ang aking puso

My eyes is almost shutting nang nararamdaman ko pa ang dahan-dahang pag-alalay ni Yuhan sa akin habang ako ay tamlay na tamlay

He slowly carry me like a bride at inilipat ako sa front seat

Idinilat ko ng kunti yung mga mata ko nang hindi talaga malinaw ang aking paningin

" Just close your eyes, ipahinga mo muna sarili mo, i-uwi na kita sa inyo.."

Halos maalala na as he carefully buckle up the seatbelt

Kahit malabo na yung paningin ko, I still try and manage to look at his gaze

" Y-Yuhan..."

" Sshh! It's okay, just calm down"

I smile as I close my eyes

I touch his hand as he fix my hair bago pa niya isinarado ang pinto

Halos nanghina na yung aking katawan at mas lalo ko pang nararamdaman yung kakaiba sa aking dibdib

" Just sleep.."
