Thomas' POV
A week has passed. And ngayon din ang monthsary namin ni Ara. It's actually our, 53rd monthsary. So, ibig sabihin 4 years and 4 months na kami. And I am planning to surprise her today. Everything's set. From the venue, music, everything. Isa nalang ang kulang. Si Ara.

"Kib, make sure to bring her safe ha." Paalala ko kay Kib while on the phone.

"Oo Bro. Ako na bahala sa soon to be fiancé mo. *laughs* sige na sige na." Natatawang sabi niya. Well, I asked him to bring Ara here in Tagaytay Sky Ranch. Oh. Taray no. Talagang ginastusan ko! Well I am confident that she'll say yes.

An hour later, nag text si Camille malapit na daw sila. Kasama din kasi siya na sumundo kay Ara.

"Okay. They'll be here in 5 minutes. Kaya guys. Position na!" Sigaw ni Ate Wensh. Ang aming event organizer. Yes. Tumulong sila ni Kuya Jeric na mag plano. Pati nga sa kasal nag prisinta na sila na sila daw ang kuning Wedding Organizers. We'll see. HAHAHA

"Kib teka. Nasan ba tayo?!" Inis na tanong ni Ara kay Kib. Naka cover kasi yung mata niya kaya wala siyang alam. Sinenyasan ko naman si Kib at Camille na iwan na si Ara at syempre nag thank you ako. And from the back, tinanggal ko ang cover sa eyes ni Ara.
"Nasan ba kasi.. Thomas?!" Gulat na sabi nito. Nginitian ko nalang siya.

"Happy 53rd monthsary" nakangiting sabi ko sa kaniya.

"Naalala mo? Akala ko nakalimutan mo." Natatawang sabi ni Ara sa akin.

"Pwede ba yun?" Tumawa nalang ako at in offer ang kamay ko sa kaniya.

"Ano nanaman ang pakulo mo, ha?" I just said 'shh' at tumahimik na siya as we ride the ferris wheel.

The lights around were closed. We were enjoying the view with the cool and fresh air. And as the ride suddenly stopped while we were on top, a song played.
Can this be true
Tell me can this be real?
How can I put into words how I feel?
My life was complete
I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?

"Boyce?" She laughingly said.

(A/N PLAY BOYCE AVENUE'S VERSION OF GOD MUST HAVE SPENT A LITTLE MORE TIME ON YOU FOR BETTER READING EXPERIENCE. THANKS)

"Shh. You're ruining the mood." I said. As the song starts playing, our pictures started to appear on the big screen. It was our pictures from the past and unto now.

Never thought that love could feel like this
And you changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be that right here with me?
Theres an angel
It's a miracle

In the middle part of the song, the ride started to move again. Until we reached the end of the ride. We got out of the ferris wheel and Ara was shocked when we got out. There were placards scattered on the floor with those five words on it "Will you be my wife?"

Your love is like a river,
Peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that its true,
God must have spent a little more time on you

"Through ups and downs, we stayed on each other's arms. And I liked how US happened. I liked how we became each other's crying shoulders. Now, I want to put our relationship on a higher level. Let's forget about all the heart aches that we gave each other for the past years. Let's forget all those secrets that we couldn't share to each other. Let's start a new life." I said, as I kneel down. People around us started to scream. Our friends, which appeared again from hiding while we were on the ride to our fans who waited long for this to happen.

In all of creations all things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious than any diamond or pearl
They broke the mold when you came in this world
