About You | H. Ran

16

Ran pursue you. He never fails to make time for you. He's ready to drop everything na ginagawa niya para sayo.

Everynight na nag ooverthink ka, he never fails to assure you. He never fails to be by your side lalo na kapag kailangan mo talaga ng support system.

Today is Christmas. Busy ka today dahil aalis ka kasama ang Mom mo at kapatid. Your Dad? He's not here. Baka may work kahit holiday.

"Good Morning po." Someone said at pagtingin mo sa pinto ay si Ran lang pala. He's wearing a black long sleeve and trouser.

"Ran, akala ko ba busy ka." You said.

"Mamaya pa. Dumaan lang ako dito." He answered and surveyed you from head to toe.

"Saan punta?"

"Baguio." You answered.

"Oh, Ran. Napadalaw ka." Your Mom said.

"Kuya Ran!!" Eli and Thea said. Ran just waved his hands.

"Ah, Tita. I have something for you po." He said at binigay ang mga dala niyang paper bag.

"Nag abala ka pa talaga!" Your Mom said at may kinuha sa ilalim ng christmas tree.

"Ayan, gift ko sayo." She said.

Ran smiled and accepted it. "Thank you, Tita."

He looked at you. "Anong gagamitin niyong transpo papunta sa Baguio?"

"Magbo book lang ako ng gr-"

"Tita, hatid ko na lang po kayo sa Baguio." Sambit ni Ran kaya agad na tumingin ka sa kanya.

"Wag na nakakahiya."

He smiled at you and held your hand. "Okay lang."

Kinausap niya ang Mom mo and after talking to her ay napapayag niya ito. He looks so happy pa nga sa tabi mo. Agad mong kinuha ang regalo na nakatabi para sa kanya.

"Merry Christmas, Tangi." You said.

"Ano 'to?" He asked and opened the gift. It was a necktie and necklace with his initial.

"I don't know kung anong gusto mo. Kaya ayan. You should wear that necktie sa graduation."

Napangiti naman siya at agad na kinuha ang necklace. "Damn, baby. You have a taste."

You held his hand at agad na lumabas kayo para pumunta sa mini garden niyo. "Gusto mo 'ko solohin ah." He teased.

You stared at him and rolled your eyes. "Ran." You said.

"Hmm?"

"Ilang buwan mo na akong nililigawan kaya napag isip ko na.." Nahihiyang sambit mo.

"Na?"

You stared at him and smiled. "Let's make it official."

He blinks thrice. Hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi mo. "S-seryoso ka ba jan? Hindi ba prank 'to?" He asked. "Tangi, alam kong pasko ngayon."

You chuckled. "I am serious, tangi."

Tumalikod siya sayo. "Ano ba yan nahihiya ako."

You cupped his cheeks and stared at his eyes intently. "Mahal kita."

"Thank you for bringing me to a place where peace only exists. Thank you for bringing me sa favorite place mo."
