Until the end of time...
There's no such thing...
There's no end of time...
Time does not end...
"Xin," Ngumiti si Jian ng may konting luha mga mata. "Thank you." He whispers and lets his hand move towards the older's face, now caressing his cheek softly.
"Isa lang naman ang gusto kong marinig e. 'Yung sabihin mong mahal mo ako."
He stutters, his voice cracking softly, which unexpectedly causes Xin's heart to beat at a gentle pace — and he finds himself drawn to it. Indeed, the younger one has the ability to evoke a range of surprising emotions within him, emotions that he ultimately embraces, emotions that he only feels towards Jianuary.
"Pero higit pa ron ang narinig ko, at sapat na 'yon para burahin lahat ng pag-aalala ko, Xin." The older holds Jianuary's smaller hands. "You don't have to worry again. I'll give you the life you deserve. I'll give you love and all, that's my way of loving you." Jianuary tearfully smiled and stepped forward, now hugging his lover tightly as he nodded his head.
"Maraming salamat!" Umiiyak na aniya at doon siniksik ang umiiyak na mga mata sa dibdib ng nobyo.
Xinner gently caresses him as he smiles.
"I love you, to the heavens and back, Jianuary." He whispers.
"I love you too, and I'll always choose to love you indefinitely, Xin."

Hours had passed and Jianuary now couldn't help but emotionally stare at the serene nighttime view at a beautifully lit pier — a place where the yacht is heading now.
They are now meters away, yet he can clearly see a charming two gazebos extending over calm, reflective waters. There are quaint cottages, their warm yellow lights casting a welcoming glow against the deep blue canvas of the dawn sky.
Mag-uumaga na nung gisingin siya ni Xin, at ngayon ay halos mapanganga siya sa ganda ng lugar, at bagaman wala pa man ang araw, kitang-kita niya ang kumikinang na lugar ng isang isla. Napapaligiran ito ng dilim, pero may sarili itong ganda.
He breathed in disbelief at the sight.
The wooden planks of the pier, worn smooth by time and weathered by the elements, beckon the viewer onward. The overall vibe is relaxed and enchanting, making it feel like Jianuary found a little slice of paradise–with Xinner behind him.
Maluha-luhang hinayaan ni Jianuary na hawakan siya sa kamay habang pababa sila ng yate, at doon lamang niya nakita ang kabuuan ng lugar.
Para itong isang munting paraiso, kung saan ang kulay ng kahel ang siyang sumasakop sa kabuuan ng isla. Ang mga pailaw ay sobrang kalmado at masarap sa paningin. Higit pa roon ay ang mga nagtataasang puno ng mga buko na siyang mas nagbibigay ganda sa lugar.
"A-ang... ganda..." Halos pabulong na sabi ni Jian habang iniikot ang paningin. Xin smiles seeing Jianuary mesmerized eyes, shining like the lights—glowing like stars.
Hindi mapigilang makaramdam Xin ng napakagandang sensasyon habang pinapanood si Jian, na ngayon ay kumikinang ang mga mata, marahil ay dahil sa mga ilaw na nanggagaling sa kabuuan ng maliit na isla.
"Paano mo.. I mean, alam mo ang lugar na 'to?" Jianuary looks at the older who smile handsomely at him, nodding his head once before speaking.
"Yeah. Wade told me about this place. This is one of your Grandparent's secluded islands. This is way smaller than your famous ones but for me, this is the most beautiful place..." Jianuary stares at Xin, whose eyes now looking at the vast dark ocean – the sound of the waves, the colors of the lights, the smooth sand – everything is just so good to be true.
"He wants to buy this, but before that, he planned on making this island a place for a date to the ones who will win the jetski game." Xin handsomely chuckles, making Jian gasped in secret.
"S-salamat..." The tan-skinned whispers, causing the older man to look back at him and slowly holds his hand. Another electrocution erupts Jianuary's heart as he watched the man kissing the back of his hand.
"I've never been... this happy... Jianuary." Xin sincerely looks at him. Napatitig sa kanya si Jian at doon mahinang napangiti.
"Halika." Aniya at doon mabilis na pinagdaop ang kanilang mga palad. Xin watch as his lover drag him on the gazebo as they walk through the wooden bridge as lights coming from the beautiful lamps illuminate them.
Tinitigan ni Xin ang kanilang kamay, na ngayon ay magkadikit – bagay na bagay, at para bang hindi mapaghihiwalay.
Xinner looks at the younger's back as he drags him further towards the gazebo. His heart pounds faster, and the same time, slower – perhaps, because of how powerful his emotions at the moment, that he doesn't know how to react on it.
Jianuary...
Xin watches Jianuary look at him, smiling as they walk.
I don't know how to express this feeling anymore. There are no words that can convey the depth of my love for you.
Even the biggest and tallest mountains can't describe it. The sky is vast, but it's still not enough of a metaphor. The sea is beautiful, but its darkness can't capture the light you bring to my life. The world is big, but it can't compare to the enormity of my love for you. I just can't find the words.
Damn it.
I love you. I love you more than the heavens, more than all the universes that exist. I love you deeper than the seventy percent of the ocean on this planet. I love you. I love you. I love you, Jianuary Park.
