Time flew so really fast! I was already on became student nurse. From the capping at timing din dahil same date no'n ay birthday ko.
Zaiden even made an effort to go that event! Kahit na busy siya. Kaya I was so surprised when he got there!
We've just came from a family dinner together with Zaiden's family and my Aunties. Zaiden were just silent while listening to me as I jammed and sing to the song.
"Im in the getaway car..." I was feeling the song while the window above is open. The air were gently ruffling my hair. "Left you in a motel bar
Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys. That was the last time you ever saw me (oh!)"
I'm already singing the bridge nang pumiyok ang boses ko! I glared at Zaiden nang hindi niya napigilan iyong tawa niya! Maganda naman akong kumanta. Pati nga sa kama! Eme!
"Ikaw ha. Nang ju-judge." I spat.
Napailing siya as he lick his lips and rested his hand on my thigh. Nagulat pa ako! Iniwas ko iyong mukha ko at napabaling sa labas. Ramdam ko ang pag pula ng pisngi ko.
"Why did you stopped singing?" He asked. "Your voice always sound good in my ears." He said maliciously.
I glared at him. Iba na ata 'yon.
"You like Taylor Swift?" He said after.
I looked at him. "Yes! Why?!"
He just nod and shrugged after. Napanguso ako sa naging reaksiyon niya! Kj naman neto! Tatanungin ako tapos hindi naman sasabihin iyong sagot.
"We should go to her concert then," He said like just nothing.
Namilog ang mga mata ko! Ang mahal ka ya ng ticket ni Taylor. Atsaka wala namang concert pa siya dito sa Chicago.
"Don't worry about the price." I rolled my eyes. He smiled. "It's my present."
"Palagi nalang present i kakatapos lang ng birthday ko ang dami mo ng regalo, atsaka she's not going here in Chicago." Reklamo ko.
He just laughed at my response. Eh totoo naman!
Hindi ako nakaimik pagkatapos dahil sa haba ng byahe namin dahil kung saan saan pa kaming dalawa pumunta. I scrunched my nose as I sniff on my finger as I ft dizzy.
"Hey, are you feeling alright?" He looked at me cautious.
"I just felt a bit dizzy. We've been riding the car for almost three hours. Atsaka I din't like your freshener."
He gave me a candy. Atsaka pinahiga ako sa gilid ng bintana. Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto ng gumaan na iyong pakiramdam ko tinanong niya ako ulit kung kamusta na.
"Okay na. Thanks, love." He smiled and held my hand tighter.
I can't believe after so many years. After so many cries, aches, and hard work! All the sacrifices payed off! Time flew so fast and I couldn't believe it! I was busy with my graduation things and Zaiden were busy reviewing for his exams.
The both of us were busy, but we still made time for each other. I saw how hard he study for his licensure exam. Minsan when I woke up in the middle of the night he is still studying. I was still on the stairs when I saw him yawning while reading on his books.
Lumapit ako sa kaniya. I snaked my arms around his shoulders and kissed him. I felt how his muscles flex as he gesture me to sit on his lap. He rested his face on my neck.
"I felt so empty, love." He whispered and kissed my neck. "Then, we don't have time to spend our wedding anniversary."
I blew out a deep breath. "You don't have to worry about such events love! Everyday is special because you were there. You make my everyday special."
