JOYCE

When I was a child I remember my Dad teaching me how to fly a kite while Mom on the corner sitting under the tree watching us like we are the most beautiful view in the world. Those were happy times. Those were the times before they left me. Alone.

Every single pieces of joy was coming back to me. How I held the rope and imagine myself flying with it. Were Dad would tell me "close your eyes Joyce..feel the wind"
which of course I followed .

It feels so real now. I'm flying like a bird in the sky enjoying its freedom. I'm flying holding not just the rope but the hand of a person I love the most. Scared. Nervous. But secure. The wind blowing against us, taking us somewhere and higher. Looking down where the whole town lighting up at us. The mountains, lakes,seas, park, building and every particular views in the whole town was just one sight above us. Never in my life I had thought I'm going to experience this all.

I am happy because I know Johann is. 

Our shout drying our throat, making our voices fade. Yelling any words we could remember. Until we slowly begin to go down. I looked at him teared eye clipping his finger attached to mine.

"thank you.."

I yelled out loud .

"thank you.."

he yelled back.

We laugh together as our feet touch the ground.

Two in uniform men approached us and help untie the parachute.

"We did it..I mean I did it.."

"ahuh..and relax there's more."

"No way .!"

My eyes widened excited for what is more.

"ayaw mo na?"

I shook my head grabbing him towards the restaurant nearby. After this, wala na akong hindi pa kayang magawa. Basta andyan siya at magkahawak kami everything will be fine.

We ate our lunch. The people there seems so afraid of talking to us. Para silang binayaran din na wag magsalita. "Yes" "No" "Sir" "Mam" and "thank you" lang ang tanging lumalabas sa bibig nila. Napapaisip tuloy ako kung ano kaya ang iniisip nila ngayon tungkol sa amin. For sure they knew Johann ia going to be a priest, they're just acting like they dont care at all. I decide to never mind it. Not to worry at all and enjoy the last moment of being together.

More is really more. Rock climbing, golfing, boating  and diving on a 15 feet falls were more than a more. I lost voice and even my whole fears after everything. Yon pala yon. Ang maging kuntento at hindi matakot sa kahit na anong bagay kasi alam mong kahit anupang mangyari meron at merong sasagip sayo.Hahawak ng kamay mo at sasabihing andito lang ako. Para sa akin sapat na yon para di ako matakot.

The sun started to get down which means our day will going to end. Johann talking to Gail again, maybe thanking her or whatsoever. Waiting on the distance looking at them intently. I hate this girl. Even how much she showed her nice side. In my mind I know she's someone I want to hate . Unreasonable but I don't care .

Minute later she kissed Johann on the cheeks as he walked back towards me. Gail waved at me smiling and I waved back.

"Ready?"

Johann pick up my bag and carry it for me.

"To leave or to end the day?"

I answer frowning. Umakbay siya sa akin at nglakad kami papunta sa kotse.

"both I think?"

"well, No and yes ."

Tumawa siya sa sagot ko habang binubuksan ang kotse. Pumasok ako saka siya sumunod. Ang totoo ayokong matapos ang araw. Ayokong matapos ang lahat ng to. Na sana hindi na niya kailangan bumalik sa loob at magkunwari. Na sana hindi na namin pa kailangang magtago. Na sana ito na lang palagi. Kami magkasama na walang sinuman na nanghuhusga.

Tumingin ako sa kanya habang nagdadrive at alam ko na masaya din siya kagaya ko. Though within his eyes I could read a deep thought. Something is bothering him that he wouldn't want me to know.

"This is the most happiest day of my life.."

Sabi ko  while smiling widely at him. Ngumiti din siya na parang tuwang tuwa.

"Same here..were still not done yet  "

"really?There's still a more in a more?"

"it depends kung pagod ka na.."

"hindi mangyayari yon.."

mayabang kong sabi.

"talaga?tingnan natin mamaya.."

he was grinning in his playful stares.

"anu ba meron mamaya?"

"papagurin kita.."

God will forgive my thoughts pero iba na ang pumapasok sa isip ko. Tumahimik ako bigla at di nakasagot .

"what?"

nakangisi pa rin siya.

"nothing..concentrate on driving please. "

Tumawa siya lalo at feeling ko umakyat na yata ang buong dugo ko. Pati kamay ko namumula na. I gulp my throat trying not to embarrass myself.

"don't laugh at me.."

"I'm not.. Im just happy."

Inikutan ko siya ng mata at pangiti ngiting tumingin sa bintana.

He suddenly stop the car and unfastened his seatbelt. My heart beats race when he move closer to me.

Napahinga ako ng malalim.

"Mahal na mahal na mahal kita..always remember that.."

Seryoso siya. Pati ang mga mata niya nagsasabi non. Ngumiti ako at tumango. Biglang naglaho lahat ng pag aalangan ko.I held him putting his hand near my heart.

"My heart will always remember that and yes I love you too.."

He move a little closer wanting me to let him. Hindi to ang una pero feeling ko una pa rin. Hininga lang ang naririnig ko. Walang salita. We were inches apart from each other and I know I'm waiting for his lips to touch mine.

"now what?"

I said almost whisper.

"what?"

Of course he want me to give my permission . I hate him for it.

I smirked gazing into his eyes.

"if your not going to kiss me now, then don't kiss me at all.."

Hindi na siya dapat pang sabihan ulit. He crushed his lips to mine. With love, longing and passion. Savoring every inch of my mouth. We kissed once but this is different.

This is love. This is our feelings told by our lips.

This wasn't just an adventure, this is us making a memories.
