"Good morning tita!" Masayang bati ko sakanya. She's currently drinking her coffee.

"Morning, Yezah. Kain na tayo," she said. I nodded and sat in front of her.

"Tulips season na ngayon, gusto mo bang pumunta?"

My lips slightly parted and immediately nodded. Natawa siya sa reaction ko.

"Pero may work ako ngayon," she added.

"Pwede naman akong pumunta mag-isa tita. Naabala ka pa."

"Sige. I-send ko nalang yung lugar para mapuntahan mo." I thanked her after that.

It's been a weeks since that happened. Masyadong mabilis ang nangyari that's why I took a rest from everything. My friends also advised me to take a rest. Kaya noong sinabi kong pupunta ako sa Amsterdam, tinulungan agad ako ni tita mag book ng ticket. It was impulsive but this one's the only thing that can really help me. Kailangan ko munang mag unwind.

Tita gave me the address of the fields of tulips. I was really excited. This is the dream!

I was wearing my pink dress and cardigan dahil medyo malamig ngayon. I also let my hair fall. Napangiti ako sa sarili ko. I was really excited to see the tulips.

I used a public transportation going there. I can't stop smiling!

Nag text din ako kay Nat na pupunta ako roon and she was really happy for me. Hays miss ko na rin sila. Di bale kapag bumalik ako roon, gagala talaga kami.

I took a deep breathe nang makababa ako sa sasakyan. Pinagmasdan ko ang lugar. It's so pretty!

I asked someone where I can see the field of tulips and she guide me. I said thank you after bringin me in the field. Kinuha ko ang cell phone ko at kinuhanan ito ng litrato. Ang ganda!

I was taking pictures when I suddenly saw Aziel's name popped out in my notifications. Kumunot ang noo ko at pinindot ito.

Aziel Adreane Lim
Today 10:49 AM

Hi!

You look really beautiful in that dress.

You're as beautiful as the tulips in front of you :)

My lips parted. I immediately looked around and I saw him in a white sweater and black slacks! What the hell?!

"Aziel..."

He started walking towards me, "Hey."

"Totoo ba 'to?" I asked. He chuckled and nodded.

"Of course. Hindi ako multo," he answered. I held his hand and slightly squeezed it. He laughed again, "See?"

"Anong ginagawa mo rito?!"

"Visiting you," he smiled.

I was still in awe from what happened. We were developed by silence for a couple of minutes. Pinapanood lang namin ang mga tulips.

"Can we talk?" I looked at him and he was already looking at me. I nodded.

"I didn't want to stop courting, you know? I really regret what happened. And I'm really sorry that I hurt you. I was really stupid for doing that without knowing what really happened. I'm really sorry," he said.

"Okay lang... Naintindihan naman kita," I answered.

"It wasn't okay, Yezah. I hurt you and that was the least thing I wanted to do. I'm really sorry. I just... I just want you to be happy and all this time I thought you were really into him. You know I'll do everything just to make you happy that's why I did that..."

I sighed and nodded, "Tsk, stop saying sorry will you? Hindi mo alam yung nangyari and the decision was really impulsive pero naiintindihan kita. Ginawa mo yun dahil gusto mong sumaya. But Aziel, that part...you were really selfless. I went here to take a rest from everything, gusto ko rin na bigyan ka ng oras to think about everything kasi halos lahat binibigay mo. Ayaw ko rin ng ganoon. Gusto ko na mag tira ka rin para sa sarili mo."

"I know that but you know that I'd do anything for you. Kahit walang matira para sa akin basta maging masaya ka. I would love to spend all my money to you. I would love to spend my free time with you. I love spoiling you with gifts and foods. I just...I just would do everything for you. So if I can still have a chance, can I prove myself to you once more?"

I looked at him and took a deep breathe, "Aziel, wala ka naman ng dapat i-prove eh."

"...What?"

"Gusto kita," I said while looking straight to his eyes. Napangiti ako dahil confuse pa rin siya. Ang cute.

"I like you, Aziel. Gusto kita. you don't have to prove yourself anymore..." I said and smiled.

"I'll court you again," agad niyang sabi.

"Okay, bahala ka," I answered and turn my back to him.

I looked at the tulips in front of me. They're really so pretty! I was admiring them and when I looked at Aziel, akala ko tulips ang tinitignan niya pero nagulat ako nang makita na sa akin siya nakatingin. His eyes were smiling while looking at me. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling.

"Pst.."

"Hmm?"

"Napag isipan ko na."

"The what?"

"Sinasagot na kita," I smiled sweetly to him.

"Wow." Natawa ako.

"What?"

"I mean we can take things slowly you know? We don't have to hurry," he said.

"Ayaw mo ba?"

"I like it of course. I like what happening right now. I just love everything that's happening. Ayaw lang kitang i-pressure."

"Di mo naman ako pinepressure," I said.

"You've been courting me for month and weeks already. Tumigil ka lang dahil akala mo siya ang gusto ko but should I still waste my time? You can still prove yourself to me while we're in a relationship kaya," I added. He nodded and smile.

"Is this really happening? Girlfriend na kita?" Hindi makapaniwalang sabi niya. I chuckled and nodded.

"Damn, wow. This moment, I won't ever forget this moment. Today, May 14, you just answered one of my prayers. Here in the middle of the tulips we became official. Thank God, she's officially mine," he said. Napangiti ako. Humakbang ako papalapit sakanya at niyakap siya.

"This feels nice," I said.

"I love you... You don't have to say that words for now. I just want to say it because I wanted you to know how much I love you. I love you, Yezah."

He said he loves me in the middle of the field of tulips. This feels like a dream.
