Chapter 23

Mahimbing na ang pagkakatulog ko nang maramdaman kong may mainit na kamay na humahaplos sa mukha ko.

"Alyn, malapit nang mag-alas dose. Get up. I've got a surprise for you," mahinang bulong ng kilala kong boses.

Gumalaw ako ng kaunti at hinila ang kumot para italukbong iyon sa aking mukha. "Bukas na lang..." Nayayamot kong sabi.

I heard him chuckle a little, then yank down the blanket, and all of a sudden, he was kissing me on the lips. His kiss was light, so I raised my hand to request more.

"Bitin. Isa pa..." Ungot ko sa kanya habang nakabukas na ang isang mata ko.

Tumawa ulit siya ng mahina.

"Nahahawa ka na talaga sa 'kin," sabi niya sabay yuko at halik muli sa aking labi. I slightly parted my lips to taste him.

I opened my eyes as he pulled away. We then exchanged a few silent glances. His eyes are gleaming, and I'm wondering if mine are, too. "Bangon na... You don't have to change," he said softly.

I nodded. He takes my left hand. Bumangon ako. He leads me to the bathroom and watches as I brush my teeth and wash my face with lukewarm water. He hands me the soft towel soon after I'm finished.

He also helped me style my curly hair. Natutuwa ako habang iniimis niya ang buhok ko. He styled it in a high ponytail. "You look like a barbie doll," he whispered. "I want a girl for our first child. Second only to you, I'd love her more than anyone else in the world. I also want a boy, but I prefer a girl."

I just rolled my eyes kaya tumawa siya. Kung anu-ano na ang naiisip niya, hindi pa nga kami.

Itinabi niya ang mukha niya sa mukha ko at kapwa kami nagkatinginan sa sarili naming repleksiyon sa salamin.

Nagngitian kami pareho.

Jacques' sleeves are rolled up, and the top buttons on his striped blue shirt are undone, exposing his chiseled chest. I'm completely smitten by how stunning he appears.

Kahit noong naglalakad na kami palabas ay tulala pa rin ako sa kanya. He held my hand with a smile that never left his face. I felt that we were suddenly in a slow motion. The string lights that reflected off his face added to his allure. We could only hear crickets chirping while grazing the cold wind breeze of December.

When he looked straight ahead, my heart was pounding and I felt a rush of emotions.

Wala na po, Lord. I really love him na!

When we arrive at the back of the mansion, facing the gazebo near the cliff, he extends his arm, "Surprise!"

My eyes widened slightly. I was unable to say anything. Napanganga ako.

The bright colors of fireworks began to explode at the back of the gazebo. The sky's darkness lightened up with it.

The pathway to the gazebo was beautifully designed with string lights and sophisticated round bulbs. Tatlong mahahabang mesa ang nakahilera roon, punung-puno ng iba't-ibang putahe ng pagkain at inumin.

What surprised me the most were the people who were present that night.

"Merry Christmas!" sabay-sabay nilang sigaw habang may ipinaputok na confetti ang kapatid kong si Josue.

I was astounded to see my youngest brother running towards me. Hindi mapuknat ang ngiti sa labi nang yakapin niya ako. Gulat na gulat at hindi makapaniwala na narito siya sa harap ko.

"Ba't ka nandito?" Nagtatakang tanong ko. Ginulo ko ang kulot niyang buhok. Tumingkayad pa ako dahil halos magkapantay na sila ni Jacques. Tumangkad na lalo ang bunso namin, ang bilis ng panahon.
