Every Bullet

Chapter Forty Eight

Crystal

I was peacefully reading on the room when Magnus suddenly entered with a huge smile in his face.

"Love, I want you to meet someone."

I looked at Magnus, totally confused and raised a brow at him. "Wag mo sabihin saaking may kabit ka at may anak ka na." I glared at him and gazed at his treasure. "Or, I'll cut your ano—"

His eyes grew wide, mouth agape and even put his hands on his mouth. "What?" he laughed and shook his head. "Love, what the hell are you talking about? I don't have a kerida or kabit and for your information, the only kid I want to have is with you." He even hid his treasure with his hand and rolled his eyes.

"Let's just go, love. And please, sayang ang lahi ko, I'll make kids pa naman with you." My eyes grew wide from what he said, he smirked and licked his lips playfully and teasingly. "Sige ka, you won't have little Magnus na." he even pouted cutely.

Oh god, he's such a tease!

"Bastos." I laughed and threw him the couch pillow and ran towards the car making him laughed and follow me. "Damn, that was hot..." I cursed at myself and rested on the seat, waiting for him.

I don't where we are going but who cares? I'll go wherever he is.

"We're not bati."

Kunot noo ko siyang tinignan at pinanlakihan ng mata. Pinagsasasabi neto? "Hindi tayo bati." He jokingly sulked and started driving making me more confused.

Baliw ampota.

"Puputulin mo lahi ko, hmp."

I was taken back by what he said, completely shocked by this attitude he's giving me— I am not complaining though because he looks adorable.

"Fine, I'm not going to putol your lahi na." Inirapan ko siya kaya agad naman siyang natawa nang malakas.

Lumalakas loob neto porket nandito ako sa hometown niya eh.

But my laugh got cut off when we entered a cemetery. My brows furrowed and looked at him, asking and completely confused but he just continued driving and finding a parking spot. When he found one, he instantly parked the car and went out, opening the door and guiding me down like.

"What are we doing here?"

"We're going to visit yung mga mamamatay kong lahi." He even flashed a sad smile making me burst out of laughter and smacked him in his arms. "What?" maarte niya pang sabi kaya pabiro ko siyang tinulak but he fell making him sulked even more.

Oh god, he's acting childish whenever I'm with him but who's complaining? Definitely not me.

"I want you to meet my mom."

My heart dropped and I started to get nervous when he held my hand as we walked towards his mother's grave. Napasinghap ako nang makita ito sa malapitan at unti ring napangiti.

"Helga Roxanne Pielago." I read her name and looked at her picture frame that's very old now but I just shrugged and wiped the dust out of the picture and put the flowers beside it.

"Hi mom, long time no visit, sorry I got busy but here I am and I brought someone vey dearly and special for me, my girlfriend."

"Hi po."

He waived in tiny and arranged the flowers. "I bet you already know her since I always ask you to guide her and watch her for me but I just want you to know that Mom, this girl right here is the girl I want to be with."

"Crystal, this is my Mommy and Mommy, this is Crystal, the woman whom I love and whom I want to spend the rest of my life with. I bet you know her already since I always pray about her and her safety."

I blinked twice when I heard what Magnus said. Completely processing the fact that he prays for me and my safety.

Fuck, how can he this good?

"y-you pray for m-me?"

He nodded and guided me to sit beside him on the blanket. "Always." He smiled and intertwined our fingers together and proudly showed it to his Mom's grave.

"I always tells her stories whenever I'm missing her and whenever I'm missing you. I always tell her to guide you because you're her future daughter in law." He chuckled and heaved a sigh, staring at his Mom's grave and our hands.

He caressed the ring on my finger and smiled. "This ring suits you but I bet that the real ring will suits you more."

"w-what? a-are you planning your future with m-me?"

He shook his head making me confused but he faced me and planted a soft kiss on my forehead. "I'm not planning because it's already planned."

My breath hitched, my mind is in a haywire and I can't think of anything. My heart is beating so fast that I can already hear it. I stared at his eyes but it made me teared up when I saw nothing but sincerity and love.

"A-are you s-sure?"

He wiped the tears from my eyes and fixed the strand of my hair. "Since the day that you let me be your boyfriend, it's already planned, love. How I want to marry you here in Albay, where we can both see the Volcano and having kids with you. I always think that you'll be a great mother someday."

"How pretty you will be in our wedding, wearing that long white dress which is expensive since you deserves it while walking down the aisle, me waiting for my bride and completely nervous. I actually imagined that I would cry once you started walking down the aisle. I can already imagine how majestic you would look and how beautiful our church is and the reception of course..."

"Of course, I won't let the honeymoon slide. I want kids with you but only if you want to. I an m not rushing you and I am not begging and forcing you. This is just me being a delulu."

"K-kids with m-me?" I asked, too overwhelmed by his actions and words, and lost in the galaxy of his eyes where I can see purity and love.

How I wish that this happiness won't never end and I would love to have kids with him and him only.

"Yeah, I can already imagine how the kids would shout 'mom' multiple times and you will like, 'yes baby'. I already imagined how we will both panic and buy some random baby clothes and rearranged the other room for it to be a nursery room. I always dreamt of having a junior but of course, if it's fine with you—"

I cut off his words and instantly kissed him, kissed him in front of his Mother's grave like I was already sealing that he's mine.

"I would always say I do to you..."

I almost flinched when he started humming and started singing, playing with my fingers while still smiling genuinely.

"~Mahiwaga

Pipiliin ka, sa araw-araw

Mahiwaaga

Ang nadarama sayo'y malinaw~"

He started singing, singing for me like I'm the most precious girl for him.

Magnus, you're indeed the sweetest and I would always say I do and I will always pick you.

"~Mahiwaga

Wag nang mawala, sa araw-araw ohh...

Mahiwaga

Pipiliin ka, sa araw-araw...~"

"May Mom guide us to forever."
