"Hello! Hi! Can you see this beautiful lady beside me? She's my girlfriend!" 

I laugh and pull Tasha closer to me to prevent her from stumbling. 

"You're adorable, you know that?" Turan ko sa pulang pulang si Tasha. 

Napadami kasi ang pag inom niya kanina dun sa party tapos sobrang dali niya namang malasing. Nag lalakad kasi kami papunta sa kotse kong nakaparada sa may convenience store malapit kila Miranda. Wala kasi akong mapag parkan kanina nung nag punta ako sa kanila kaya dun nalang ako nag park para safe. 

"I know. That's why you love me." She cutely responds and giggles. 

"That is one of the many reasons, yes." 

Pupungay pungay lang ang kaniyang mata na tumingin sa akin bago hinila ang mukha ko at hinalikan ako sa labi. 

I kissed her back and sighed into the kiss. 

"I love you." Malambing nitong turan ng kumalas siya sa halik. 

"I love you more." 

"And I love today!" She said and pulled away from my grasp. 

Pumunta siya sa may gitna at itinaas ang kamay niya sa ere bago umikot ikot. 

"I'm so happy today!!" Sigaw nito at tumawa habang nakatingala sa may langit. 

"I'm glad you're happy mylove." Nakangiti kong turan at nakatingin lang sa kaniya. Lumingon siya sa akin at mas lumawak ang ngiti niya. 

"Don't leave...okay?" She said with a smile on her face but I noticed that it didn't reach her eyes. 

It's a sad smile. 

My smile fell and quickly walked toward her. 

"What's wrong, darling?" Tanong ko sa kaniya. 

I cupped her face gently. 

She smiles again but I can see the tears on the brim of her eyes, ready to fall. 

"Nothing just...don't leave me, okay?" She said as a single tear in her eyes falls from her eyes. 

Hindi ko man maintindihan kung bakit siya nag kakaganito pero tumango tango ako. 

"I won't leave you, ever. Not just because I don't want to but because I can't. My heart beats for you Tasha and even death can't tear us apart, mon amour." 

"If only you knew the thing I've done, you wouldn't say that." She responded with a dry chuckle and took a deep breath. 

"What do you mea--"

"Pinky promise that you won't leave?" She cuts me off. Itinaas niya ang hintuturo niya sa may harap namin. 

With a heavy sigh, I hooked my fingers to hers. "Pinky promise." 

"Good. Now let's go home. I'm freaking tir--Oh, shit sorry Kiddo." Pag hinge nito ng paumanhin sa batang muntik ng matumba dahil nag kabanggan sila ni Tasha. 

"It's okay Miss Stranger." She said as she looked up at Tasha and smiled sweetly at her. 

"What's your name?" Tanong ni Tasha bago luminga linga. "And where are your parents or guardian?"
