Havocs' Serenity

15

SERENITY smile faded on her lips, her mouth gaped on what he just said. But there her heart goes again, throbbing, as if her heart going to have a mini-heart attack.

"H-havoc...I—" Oh, God! She was so ecstatic!

She remembered when Havoc first time said those foreign words to her, he already love her that moment!

Marahang pinisil ni Havoc ang dalawang kamay niya, pilit pa itong ngumiti sa kanya,"No pressure, baby. Don't mind it, I'm sorry, just pretend that I didn't say that—"

She put her both hands on his jaws, pikit-mata niyang idinampi ang labi sa labi ni Havoc. Hindi niya alam kung anong pumasok sa isip niya at ginawa niya iyon, pero ayaw naman niyang magkunwari na hindi niya narinig ang sinabi nito.

And besides, her heart feel so happy when he said that he loves her. Nang unang beses pa itong magtapat sa kanya, she immediately asked her parents what it feels like to be in-love. Even her phone searches filled with 'how to know that you're in love' at 'signs that you're in love'.

"I..I love you too, Havoc." she breathlessly said.

That's it. Naamin na rin niya sa binata ang nararamdaman niya para dito.

She's so into him, and every time she's with him, it feels like magic. She remembered what her father says to her the last time he asked her and he said, 'When you're in love, it feels like all love songs are about the person you love.' It may sounds corny at first but later on, she understand why.

Natigilan sandali si Havoc, natulala na parang pino-proseso pa ang sinabi niya dito. 

Ilang sandali pa, mariing pumikit si Havoc, isinandal nito ang noo nito sa noo niya, with a smile on his lips. "Say it again, baby."

"I love you."

He kissed her tenderly, "I love you more, baby," he murmured, "I don't want to curse but damn, I'm so fucking in-love with you." he kissed her again, and again, that cause them to both chuckled.

"Wait, is that mean we're official now?" paninigurado pa ng binata, he open his eyes, "You're my girlfriend now, baby?"

Natatawang tumango si Serenity kay Havoc. Impit siyang napatili nang bigla siyang buhatin nito at inikot sa ere, "Havoc! Put me down!" natatawang saway siya sa lalaki.

Umupo ito ulit sa couch pero sa halip na paupuin siya sa tabi nito, iniupo siya nito sa kandungan nito habang nakapaikot ang mga braso sa bewang niya.

"One of the best birthday gift ever, baby. Wala nang bawian ha?" parang bata pa na tanong nito, he's so adorable. She's so happy that she saw that side of him.

"Opo," she glance the paper bag on his side, "Oh, wait. I have another gift for you." inabot niya ang paper bag at ibinigay iyon sa lalaki.

"Another gift?" kinuha nito ang box na nasa loob ng paper bag, nang buksan nito ang kahon, tumambad dito ang katamtamang laki na sketch pad na binalutan niya ng itim na cover, "For my Havoc, huh?" the side of his lips rose up when he read the calligraphy on the front of sketch pad.

Tumambad kay Havoc ang mga portrait drawings and sketches nito nang ipihit nito ang mga pahina ng sketch pad. Iba't-ibang style, anggulo at facial expressions. Sa last three pages ng sketch pad, nandoon ang mga polaroid pictures nila together ng binata na ginawa niyang collage.

Buti na lang at napipilit niya ito mag-selfie minsan, and she also thankful to his teammates and Tori for taking a candid pictures of them. Actually si Tori ang gumawa ng paraan kung paano nila maipapa-develop ang mga pictures nila ni Havoc sa polaroid.
