THIRD PERSON'S POV

 when Liam woke up, he look around, and then, beside him he saw Miguel, sleeping so peacefully. sinubukan niyang maalala kung anong nangyari kagabi, pero wala siyang maalala. paano ba siya naiuwi ni Miguel sa bahay? 

ah, baka tinawagan ni Shiro, Liam thought, or so, something did happen.

"hala, anong nangyari kagabi?" tanong ni Liam.

"inuwi kita kagabi." Miguel answered that made Liam jumped and look at him.

napatingin naman si Liam sa kaniya, and there he saw Miguel's eyes were half-closed. though, ayaw niyang maniwala kasi imposible naman, but when Miguel wrapped his arms through Liam's waist, he felt assured, that inuwi siya ni Miguel kagabi.

o 'di ba, ang galing.

"tinawagan ka ba ni Shiro?" tanong ni LIam kay Miguel.

"ikaw pala yung nakakalaro ko sa com shop nung college tayo." instead of answering Liam's question, he stated that.

Liam was too stunned to speak. I mean, sino bang hindi magugulat dun sa sinabi ni Miguel, at tsaka hindi mo pa maasahan na sasabihin niya 'yon kaagad imbes na sagutin ang tanong mo.

"a-ako?" tanong ni Liam sa kaniya.

"you're too drunk kagabi, tapos nung nasa harapan mo na ako, I said na iuuwi na kita, I even call you kitten." Miguel said.

"ano pa sinabi ko nun?" Liam asked and lay down again and hugged Miguel.

"secret, baka hindi mo na ako hahalikan." Miguel said jokingly. 

Liam smack his shoulder, they both chuckled, and of course Miguel tighten his arms on Liam's waist making Liam lean on him.

"Liam?" Miguel call him.

"hmm?" 

"pakakasalan mo ba ako?" tanong ni Miguel sa kay Liam.

gulat si Liam sa tanong ni Miguel, hindi niya alam kung anong isasagot niya, he didn't feel any pressure naman, though hindi niya lang alam kung ano ang sasagutin niya.

"okay lang kung hindi mo masagot 'yon, alam ko pa namang hi--." 

"I will marry you, Miguel." Liam cutted him off by saying this.

Miguel didn't expect Liam to answer his question, ang alam niya lang baka na-pressure niya si Liam sa tanong.

"wala akong pake kung hindi pa ako handa, o hindi tayo handa," Liam says. "but if we love each other, then, bakit magpapaligoy-ligoy pa?" Liam added.

Miguel smiled at Liam's statement, mas lalong hindi niya inaasahan 'yon. umagang-umaga, ' yon na kaagad ang maririnig niya.

wala na 'tong atrasan.

"and yes, Migu. I'll marry you." Liam said.

LIAM'S POV

"kitten, are you done?" Migu asked me.

"not yet, just wait." I answered.

sa ngayon, we're getting off to the wedding organizer, pwede pa namang next year yung kasalan, pero si Migu na talaga nagtulak.

"Liam, I'm so excited, be fast please?" Migu said.

"okay, I'm done na." I replied.

when I went out of his roo— no, it's our room, he looked at me and give me the sweetest smile.

"let's go." he said and hold my hand as we walk out of his house.

minutes had passed but we're still on our way, naghahanap pa rin ng wedding organizer.

sinabihan ko naman na si Migu na pwede namang next year, but he insisted na next next month na raw magpapakasal.

"Migu, masiyado pa sigurong maaga?" I asked him.

"no, it's the right time." he answered.

I sighed and chuckled, siguro napansin niya kaya he holds my hand while he's driving.

"why did you chuckle?" he asked me.

"nothing, it's just you're so cute." I answered.

biglang natahimik ang loob ng kotse and when I turned to him.

he pouted.

pinigilan ko ang ngiti ko kasi baka hindi siya komportable, and at the same time gusto kong pisilin ang pisngi niya.

but I decided not to and just lean on him and kissed him on his cheeks.

"what was that for??" he asked.

"nothing." I answered.

para bang may hinihintay pa siya kung anong sasabihin ko pero hindi na lang itinuloy.

nang makahanap na kami ay kinabahan ako bigla, my thoughts were clouded of scenarios, especially our wedding.

"good morning sir, how about we start looking for your venue para naman po makapagpili na po kayo." the organizer said.

we nodded and started looking for a venue, mas gusto ko simple lang kaya pinipili ko yung sa simbahan, while Migu.

he's choosing the beach one.

"bato bato pick na lang tayo." I said, hinahamon siya.

"napakasimple ng simbahan, eh kailangan kakabog yung kasal natin." Miguel replied.

"gagastos ka ng malaki sa kasal natin, tapos mauuwi sa hiwalayan ang lahat." I said, enough for him to hear that.

"okay, simbahan na lang tayo." Migu said, and I smile.

I won.

ako desisyon, dapat ganon.

"settle na po, kailan po kayo kakasal?" tanong nung organizer.

"maybe in August, I don't know what's the exact date, pero sa August." Migu answered.

"okay, next month, we'll call you for preparing na lang po, and I hope makakabili na po kayo ng singsing." the organizer says.

nag usap pa si Migu at ang organizer habang ako ay tumitingin sa paligid, the design was plain white and so aesthetic, kaya ang ganda tignan.

"Liam," I heard Miguel called me.

"let's go?" he said and so I smiled at him.

at ito na naman ang paghawak ng kamay niya sa kamay ko, I feel butterflies in my stomach.

bumiyahe na kami at kinuha na namin si Xander mula kay Cho, nakalimutan namin siyang kunin. and when Xander saw us, he ran towards us and we hugged each other.

"I miss you, papa and dada." he said.

"we miss you too, little boy." Miguel said.

"let's go home, Xander. Cho, salamat nga pala sa pagbantay kay Xander ah." I said.

"nako, ano ka ba, wala lang 'yon." Cho replied.

we bid our goodbye to Cho and head off, nang makauwi na kami ng bahay — Miguel's house — ay kaagad na napaupo si Xander sa couch just to watch tv.

watching his favourite cartoon.

"oh, Amazing World of Gumball?" I asked him.

"yes papa," he answered. "want to watch it with me po?" he asked.

"no, I'm kinda busy, tsaka pupunta pa ako sa bahay natin para kunin ang mga gamit natin." I answered.

"lilipat na po tayo rito sa bahay ni dada?" he asked.

I nodded as an answer.

he exclaimed and hugged me tight, giving me some kisses.

I want Xander to have a complete family, a happy family, and of course a loving family.

and I want him to be happy, with me and Migu.
