Nasa sasakyan na ang dalawa ngayon, Thistle kept looking at her ring finger, the ring suits her hand and it quite amazing and pretty to look at. Huminto ang kotse sa isang paahon, wala gaanong tao at walang gaanong nadaang sasakyan pero mula sa pwesto nila, they can see the city lights.

Lumabas silang dalawa ni Saint, at umupo si Thistle sa may railing habang nakasandal ang kanyang likuran sa nobyo.

"I really can't believe that we are now engaged." pagbasag ni Thistle sa katahimikan. "Parang kailan lang noong hate pa kita, tomboy pa ako tapos nahulog na ako sa'yo. Crazy, right? I used to hate you and jealous of your face and body but now, I love you."

Pinamulahan si Saint sa narinig, good thing nakatalikod sa kanya si Thistle at medyo madilim sa part nila.

"But for me, I was smitten for you seven years ago. It was love at first sight."

"Eh?!" Thistle looked up to him. "Are you serious?"

"I'm serious, so that's why, I am so desperate for my feelings when Mitch came to the picture. Sa mga kaibigan ko, Uno knows my feelings for you. Tinago ko ang nararamdaman ko sa'yo kay Slate, noong nakaraan lang din niya nalaman ang tungkol sa nararamdaman ko sa'yo, 'yong bago kita ligawan. You looked amazing before, and you have cool aura, so I feel in love in an instant."

"Wow, so... your dream turns into reality, huh?"

"Yes." Saint laughed and kissed her forehead. "Indeed. You are my beautiful dream, Tle."

"Kinikilig ako." biglaang sabi ni Thistle, dahilan para mas lalong mapatawa si Saint. "Ano'ng nakakatawa? I am being honest here!"

"Yes, yes, sorry for laughing. I just... God, you're really adorable. I really adore you." Saint kissed the bridge of Thistle nose. "You got my heart for the first time I saw you and thanked God, you're now here in my arms. I still thought this was a dream whenever you are with me, but when your skin touches mine, I feel electricity, and this is the reality."

"You said, you were smitten by me seven years ago, and that means, you didn't even make a move to me because I'm a tomboy?"

"One reason, but Slate makes a bro code, bawal manligaw sa kapatid o pinsang babae dahil once na may masaktan o magloko, magiging awkward na 'yon sa pagkakaibigan namin. Kaya nga, kahit 'di ako perpekto, gagawin ko ang lahat para 'di ka masaktan."

"Hindi mo na ba miss ang pagiging playboy mo?"

Ngumisi si Saint. "Hindi na, ngayong akin ka na, hindi ko na 'yon na mimiss. I am contented and happy with you on my side. Ewan ko ba, lakas talaga ng tama ko sa'yo."

Malawak na napangiti ngayon si Thistle at tumingin ulit sa mga city lights. "Saint, do you want to hold me tonight?"

"Huh?" tila parang nabingi si Saint.

"Do you want to hold me tonight?" Thistle repeated.

"Yes." Saint quickly said, hearts going to burst in his chest. Thistle is the one who make a move, so that's why, as a man, Saint gets excited. "I want to hold you in my car, love." binuhat na niya si Thistle at pinasok sa loob ng sasakyan. "Binyagan natin 'to, wala ng bawian, love."

Thistle nodded her head. "Walang bawian."

Kinabukasan, Saint and Thistle announce to everyone they know that they are now engaged to each other. Everyone congratulated them.

"Kailan kasal mo, Mayora? At ako'y makainom ng mamahaling alak."

"Puro ka alak, Josephine."

"Sino'ng Josephine 'yan? Hindi 'yan name ko."
