CHIFUYU

"Chifuyu, naka dress pa ako. Saan ba tayo pupunta?" She asked.

"Secret." I answered.

Nung nakaraan ko pa plano 'to na i'll take her sa date in Baguio. Parents at kapatid niya lang ang nakakaalam. Buti nga pumayag sila Tito pero syempre ako 'to.

"Naka dress pa ako." She repeated. I glance at her and she's pouting while staring at me.

"You look pretty naman. Dadaan tayo sa mall, don't worry. We'll buy some stuff." I answered.

"Gastador." She whispered.

I chuckled. "Sayo lang."

"Ewan ko syo!"

This is the first time na i'll take her on a date. Hindi lang 'to friendly date. Mas higit pa doon. Siya lang ang unang babaeng pinag effortan ko ng mga ganto. The first one ay puro shopping lang alam.

Mabilis naman kaming nakarating sa mall. Agad kaming pumasok sa loob at dumiretso sa store kung saan nagtitinda ng mga clothes.

I picked black sweater para saming dalawa and gray pants. "Wow ah. Gayang gaya outfit." She said.

"Wag ka na dumaldal, magpalit ka na." I said.

"Okay po!" She answers and rushes towards the comfort room. I waited for her na matapos and i saw her na tinatali ang buhok niya. She's wearing the clothes na binili ko.

"Paano yung sapatos ko?" She asked.

"I already bought you one kanina." Sagot ko sa kanya at hinawakan ang kamay niya.

Bago pa ako pumunta sa debut niya ay prinepare ko na lahat for her birthday salubong and our date with the help of our parents.

She deserves this kind of surprise. She deserves everything.

Paglabas namin ay dumiretso ako sa likuran ng sasakyan ko at kinuha ang box ng sapatos. Nike shoes. Black and white.

Agad akong umupo and took off her sandals. Pinalitan ko rin ang band aid niya and gently put her feet sa shoes.

"Sakto lang?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Comfortable?" I asked and stood in front of her.

I watched her walk and turn around. Agad naman siyang ngumiti. "YES NA YES! IT FEELS SO COMFORTABLE!"

I chuckled and took a photo of her. Cute. "Let's go na?" I asked.

I looked at my phone at meron na lang kaming ilang oras para makapunta sa surprise ko sa kanya. I opened the door for her pero bigla niya akong hinatak and we took some photos.

First photo ay solo pictures pero same lang kami ng background. Next, magkasama na kami. She even hugged me from the back at pinasan ko siya.

Ang daming photos. For sure, lahat yan ipo post niya. After namin mag picture ay agad ko siyang pinapasok sa kotse. She even played a song habang nagda drive ako.

"What if, what if we run away?" She sings habang nags scroll sa phone ko.

"What if, what if we left today?" Pagkanta ko and glance at her. She smiled at me.
