"So what's your plan for your anniversary?" Tanong sa'kin ni Luis.
Andito kami sa Shangri-La Plaza, naghahanap ng pwede kong maibigay na gift for Madison. Buti nalang din na around the area lang kami nagmeeting with another client kaya nakadaan kami dito.
Ngayon ang anniversary namin and until now wala pa din akong naiisip na pwede kong maibigay sa kanya. Honestly, we don't really celebrate monthsaries or anniversaries. We always celebrate our love naman. But I don't know, gusto ko lang syang bigyan ng something for a change.
Seriously, what do you give to someone that has everything?
"I really don't know, Luis. Eto nga nahihirapan akong humanap ng gift eh."
I was holding a pair of ankle boots from Gucci Collection. They recently collaborated with The North Face brand.
"That's really nice, though. Bagay na bagay yan kay double M." He said while looking at it.
I nodded. Alam ko namang babagay sa kanya ito, but I felt like this is not the perfect gift for her.
Nag-aya lang din ako na umalis na at bumalik na sa office.
Sa sobrang daming dapat ayosin, hindi ko na napansin yung oras.
"Bruh ano? Sasabay ka ba sa'kin or susunduin ka ng girlfriend mo?" Tanong ni Luis habang nakatayo sa may pintuan. He probably knocked, but I didn't hear him.
Wala kasi akong car ngayon, pinaayos muna ni Madison. Kaya these past few days, hinahatid muna ako ng girlfriend ko sa office bago sya pumunta sa Laguna. May times na nasusundo nya ako, but most of the time ay nakikisakay ako kay Luis papasok at pauwi.
I checked my phone para makita kung masusundo ako ni Madison, at napangiti naman ako agad.
"Alright, I won't ask anymore. Base sa ngiti mo, I guess susunduin ka nga. Gotta go, bruh. See ya tom!"
Nakangiting nagpaalam naman ako dito.
Umupo lang ako sa swivel chair at pinikit ang mga mata ko. Halos wala din akong tulog kasi dinala ko ang work sa bahay kahapon, lalo na't hindi din nakauwi ng bahay si Madison.
I woke up to a soft, warm kiss on my lips. Unti-unti kong binuksan ang mga mata ko at ang magandang mukha ng girlfriend ko agad ang nakita ko.
"Wake up, my sleepyhead."
"B-babe."
Pinulupot ko agad sa leeg nya ang aking braso at niyakap sya ng mahigpit.
Gosh, my girlfriend smells so good. Galing pa nga sya ng site ha.
"Miss me that much?"
"So much, love." Hindi naman ako nagtatampo na halos wala na kaming time para sa isa't isa. Parehas kasi kami ng field of work, and we both understand kung gaano ka demanding 'tong work namin na'to.
"Me too. I didn't sleep well last night. Hindi kita katabi."
Even if I can't see her face, I know she's pouting right now. And just imagining it— makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside with her adorableness.
Kumalas ako ng yakap para makita ko ang magandang mukha ng girlfriend ko. I held her face between my palms and gave her a chaste kiss.
"The feeling is mutual, babe. Stop being soooo cute." Nagpout pa ito lalo.
God, how can she be so cute and sexy at the same time?
"Well then, let's go to bed now babe."
Natawa naman ako sa sinabi nya, lalo na hinawakan nya ang kamay ko at hinila palabas ng office.
