Kei

Days passed by and finally it was my birthday, lahat ay naghahanda na ng mga pagkaing dadalhin sa resort, I tried helping them pero lagi akong pinapaupo ni Jaze at Aeron they're using the excuse that it's my birthday and I shouldn't work pero and totoo ay ayaw lamang nila akong pagurin.

"Happy birthday, mahal ko." Jaze said placing a kiss on my forehead. He held my hands tight and looked me in the eyes adoring it. I looked at him back felt happy and calmed. I am so glad to spend my few days left with him. He had made me so happy and I will forever be greatful for him.

Sunod sunod kaming sumakay sa van ni Kuya CJ next to him Miko was sitting. Everyone seems so excited and I was too, but I couldn't push away the fact that I am feeling tired and weak. I've told Jaze I am so lucky that he's here to guide me and be with me. Kahit pa naaawa na ako sakanya because I feel like I am taking advantage of his love for me.

"You can lean on me and sleep muna for a while, I'll wake you up kapag nasa Mcdo na tayo so I could buy you lunch." Jaze said looking at me straight into my eyes. I smiled at him before answering with a nod tska isinandal ang ulo ko sa balikat niya.

He was holding my hands firmly with his two hands, he was caressing it and it made me feel less tired and worried. Everything he does to me feels so calming, na para bang unti unting mawawala ang kung ano mang nararamdaman ko kapag hinawakan at sinamahan niya lang ako.

I squeezed his hands and held him even tighter not wanting to let go of it and this moment, I could feel myself getting sleepy and tired again. I looked up and him and he was staring at me too with his eyes that is full of love and happiness. I smiled back at him bago muling isinandal ang ulo ko at tuluyang natulog.

After a few minutes of sleeping I was awoken when I felt Jaze tapping my cheeks I opened my eyes and looked at him wanting to know what he will say. Wala pa kami sa lugar na pupuntahan namin but he's already waking me up.

"Look outside, sobrang ganda. Umulan ng malakas kanina then after, nagkaroon ng rainbow." Jaze said while pointing outside the window. I turned to look and he was right, the scenery was so beautiful that I was shocked to see it. I smiled and continues to watch the beautiful sunrise, the beautiful sun, and beautiful world.

After a few minutes, nakarating na rin kami sa destinasyon namin. Lahat kami ay sunod sunod na bumaba at tinignan ang lugar kung nasaan kami ngayon, I could my heart melting at the sight of it. It's so pretty and so calming, napakatahimik ng lugar at ang tanging nagpapaingay lamang ay ang pakikipagasaran ni Rhyden kay Xan at Miko.

"Maganda rin yung nahanap kong resort noh? It's peaceful tapos sobrang windy, buti nal- AY PUTANGINA MO!" Everyone looked at Miko noong bigla siyang magmura. Rhyden and Xan was laughing at the side of the pool.

"What happened?" Kuya CJ asked. Agad na umahon si Miko at kinuha ang towel na nakabalot sa leeg ni Kuya CJ, Jaze started laughing with his friends too at natigil nalamang yon noong tignan siya ng masama ni Miko.

"Bobo ng bf mo lods, nahulog sa pool dami pa kasing sinasabi." Rhyden said habang patuloy parin sa pagtawa agad naman siyang nakatanggap ng palo sa braso galing kay Miko habang pinapatuyo pa rin ang sarili.

"Hindi ko kasi napansin na wala na pala akong aapakan, Ikaw naman alam mong mahuhulog na ako hinintay mo pa talagang matuluyan ako eh kung sapakin kita ngayon!?" Everyone then started laughing when Miko told them what actually happened dahilan para takpan niya ang mukha niya gamit ang towel dahil sa hiya.

"How about the rooms pala?" Ate Liane asked us. They have prepared for everything pero ang mga magkakasama sa kwarto ay hindi. There are four rooms and all of them has two bedrooms.

"How about, Si Lola and Ate po magkasama, Xan, Jaze, Rhyden and Miko naman then Me, Aeron, Kuya CJ, then Ate Liane and Kuya Luan." I suggested and everyone agreed with it. Nakita ko naman ang pagbusangot ng mukha ni Jaze noong dikitan siya ni Rhyden.

"Uy uy, tabi nanaman tayo hahahaha, ready ka na ba sa cudde time and tropa time natin?" Tanong ni Rhyden kay Jaze. I laughed when I heard him said that habang si Jaze naman ay tinitignan lamang siya ng masama.

"Tigilan mo nga ako, baka masipa pa kita mamaya kapag niyakap-yakap mo ako habang tulog, paalisin kita agad." Jaze said. Halatang iritang irita na siya sa pangaasar palang ni Rhyden. Everyone then started placing the foods on the table.

Agad na nagsiakyatan ang iba at pumunta sa mga kwartong nakaassign sakanila. I went to our room habang nakasunod saakin si Jaze dala dala ang mga gamit ko. The room that I picked for us has a view of a beautiful scenery, hindi kalayuan ay mayroon ding dagat na pwedeng puntahan.

Noong mailapag ni Jaze ang mga gamit ko sa sahig agad ko siyang hinila papunta sa balcony, The sun was setting and it was the prettiest view ever. He was firmly holding into my hands I looked down and noticed that some of them are already taking a swim, Ate Amyra and Ate Liane are talking to each other habang si Kuya Luan at Rhyden ay nilulunod ang isa't isa.

"Look how happy they're, love." Jaze said. And I answered him with a nod while giving him a huge and pretty smile. They're so happy, they all looked so happy lalo na ang ate at lola ko, I don't want to be the reason why they'll lose that.

"Do you want to take a swim na?" Jaze asked. Gusto ko na sanang lumangoy pero ang pagakyat palang sa hagdan ay kinapaguran ko na. I leaned closer to him and cupped his cheeks before placing a kiss on his forehead.

"Hoy! bawal po ang malandi respeto sakin, sa iba wala akong pakealam pero respeto sakin!" We heard someone scream from down the balcony. Nakangiti akong tumingin at nakita ko ang nakasimangot na mukha ni Rhyden. I laughed at him and what he said.

"Sorry po! Next time hindi na namin ipapasakto na nakatingin kayo." I replied bago muling humawak ng mahigpit sa braso ni Jaze. He was laughing at what Rhyden said too.

"Kain na tayo apo! Baba na kayo ni Jaze ah!" Agad na tumingin si Jaze sa baba at hinanap ang boses ng lola ko at kung nasaan siya I was looking at him while he was looking for my grandmother.

"Bababa na po kami! Sandali lang po!" He replied. He was about to go down to the first floor pero agad ko siyang pinigilan. He looked at me confusedly. Mahigpit kong hawak ang mga kamay niya.

"Baby? Is there something wrong?" Jaze asked me. I looked at him and gave him a smile before I decided to hug him tight. He hugged me back and we embraced each other.

"Jaze?"

"Hmm? What is it, My love?"

"Thank you for always making me happy, thank you for being there for me, thank you for this wonderful day."

"You've given me enough reason why I should continue and just let the life in me go on..."

"Mahal ko, what are you saying?"

"Araw-araw at palaging ko na pipiliin ang gumising at mabuhay para sayo, Jaze."

"Ayoko pang mamatay, gusto pa kitang makasama. And I would do everything I could just so I could live forever with you."

"Mahal na mahal kita, Jaze."

"Sobra... Sobrang mahal kita."

"Mahal na mahal din kita, Kei."
