Third Person's POV

Kung gaano katamis nag simula, ganon din pala kapait ang pagtatapos sa pag-ibig na kakasimula pa lamang.

Ang magkasintahang Taegan at Xeah ay tahimik lang na bumalik sa unit ng huli. They turned off their phones just to be quiet down, away from the chaos that is happening around them as of this moment.

But the two of them silently agreed to stop thinking, and just start to do what they were supposed to do.

Dinner.

To celebrate their love that has reached a  month now.

"I will just heat the food." Pagbabasag ni Xeah sa katahimikan na namumuo sa kanilang dalawa.

"Sige." Sagot ni Taegan at tiningnan ang likod ni Xeah papuntang kusina. Nalulungkot siya, at sinisisi ang sarili. Kung namalayan niya lang sana, edi may nagawa pa sana siya.

But it was too late now.

Taegan walked towards Xeah and hugged her from behind. Natigilan lang ang kasintahan habang hinihintay ang pag heat ng microwave sa pagkain nila.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't. Let's just focus on ourselves tonight, T."

Tumango lang si Taegan kahit nahihimigan niyang malungkot si Xeah.

When the food was ready. They both went back to the table and lit the candles. Taegan appreciated what Xeah has done tonight for both of them. Sana masaya sila ngayon kung hindi lang gumulantang sa kanila ang balita.

"Ang sarap ng luto mo. Pwede ka ng maging asawa ko." Taegan tried to lighten up the mood and it worked. Xeah laughed.

"Then as of now, I'm your wife."

"Ayos. Total package ang asawa ko."

"Siraulo." Nagtawanan naman sila.

Tama. Ito nga. Ito dapat ang nangyayari. Nagtatawanan sila at nagkakasiyahan. Enought about the bad news.

Over the dinner, both of them conversed like nothing bad just happened and nothing bad is waiting for them tomorrow.

Bukas pa naman 'yun.

Nagtatawanan ang dalawa dahil sa mga biro ni Taegan. They both had wine already. When Taegan saw a chance, she stood up.

Nagtatakang napatingin sa kanya si Xeah.

"Maaari ba kitang maisayaw, binibini?"

Napangiti si Xeah dahil nasisingit pa din ni Taegan ang pagiging romantic niya. Inabot niya ang kamay ni Taegan at marahan siyang itinayo nito, hanggang sa magkatapat na sila.

Sobrang ganda ni Xeah ngayong gabi, she's already gorgeous in Taegan's eyes. But tonight, she was more like a goddess.

And Taegan thought again how lucky she was for having a goddess-like girlfriend like Xeah.

"Wala tayong music." Sabi ni Xeah na natatawa.

"Close your eyes and feel the beat of our hearts. That's our music."

Xeah nodded and did what she was told. Both of them had their eyes close, and feel their surroundings.

Taegan wrapped her arms on Xeah's waist, while Xeah clung hers to Taegan's neck. Sobrang lapit nila sa isa't isa, na tila mahihiya ang hangin sa lapit nilang dalawa.

Tahimik ang paligid. They started swaying themselves in a slow manner, as if like magic, they both heard their heart beats.

Ramdam nila ang isa't isa.
