DANIELLE'S POV

It's been a days now but still my proposal to Matthew are still didn't happen, that day I was planning to propose to him nakatulog ako at nong si Matthew yong nagising hindi ako ginising at hinayaan nalang akong matulog then continue his work, gusto kong magtampo pero anong gagawin ko sabihan ba naman ako na marami pang araw na pwede kaming mag date mag pahinga nalang muna ako.

Now we're here at the mall checking what car I'm going to buy,
"What do you think about this?"
"Huh?"
"Are you okay? Alam mo kanina pa nagpapaliwanag si kuya dito how good this car but you seem like out of anywhere floating."
"Sorry may iniisip lang"
"Is that important than this?"
"Yes"
Biglang parang naging blangko yong muka nya dahil sa sinabi ko pero totoo naman na mas importante yong iniisip ko kisa sa sasakyang nasa harapan ko.
"Okay, bahala ka sa buhay mo, it's been almost a week now na tulala ka at hindi makausap ng maayos, tapos kanina tinanong mo ako if I have meetings I ask you why and you said you want to buy a car now where here pero lutang ka parin, bahala kana"
Akmang aalis na si Matthew ng hawakan ko sya sa kamay,
"Kuya pwede po bang pumasuk sa loob para ma check ko ng maayos?"
"Oo naman po sir, para makapag usap din po kayo ng maayos"
"Thank you kuya tawagin nalang po namin kayo mamaya"
"Sige po"
Umalis na yong sales agent ng sasakyan at kami nalang ni Matthew ang naiwan,
"Can you please get inside?"
"Bakit pa? Ano kukunin mo yong sasakyan ew hindi ka nga nakikinig kana,"
"Then your the one explain to me how good this car is, so please get inside and well talk may mga nakatingin na oh"
Tumingin lang sa paligid si Matthew tyaka pumasuk sa sasakyan.

Pag pasuk nya sumunod narin ako,
"It is tinted?"
"No"
Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago nagsalita,
"Do you think this car is enough?"
"Why are you asking me? Kung nakikinig ka sana baka alam mong oo"
"Then I'll buy it"
"Bibilihin mo ng wala kang alam kung okay ba ito o hindi"
"Yes, kakasabi mo lang kanina na oo diba, besides this car is out witness to our first fight together as couple hindi kasali yong away about those girls and this car will witness this"
Inilabas ko yong singsing na palagi kong daladala kahit san kami mag punta waiting for a perfect change to propose and this is the time I'm waiting,
"Danielle"
"Babe I'm sorry, kung palagi akong wala sa sarili ko sino bang hindi I planned a fancy dinner for my proposal to you last week but you let me sleep so I don't have a choice but to cancel the reservation and think again how I can finally ask you to marry me and pre--"
"Marry me?"
Napatingin ako sakanya at nag panic na ako ng biglang may luha na tumulo galing sa mga mata nya.

"Babe please, don't be mad if you don't want it's fine I'm just explaining myself--"
"No, ugh I mean yes I'll marry you"
"B-but I didn't ask you yet"
"Then ask me now"
Umayos ako ng upo at pinunasan ng kamay ko ang luha na dumadaloy sa mata nya bago hawakan ang dalawang kamay nya,

"Arch, alam kong nakakatakot na naging mabilis lahat hindi natin pinaguusapan yong mga nangyari noon para maayos o maging malinaw lahat satin kasi ayaw ko ng balikan yong mga panahong yon dahil paulit ulit kong nararamdaman yong sakin kapag naiisip ko dahil sa kagustuhan kong may mapatunayan sa iba nasaktan kita nasaktan ko yong taong iniingatan ko at pinangakoang gagawin ko lahat wag mo lang maramdaman yong kinatatakutan mong masaktan ka na makulong ka sa traumang meron ka sa takot na baka hindi tayo umabot sa kung anong narating ng magulang mo ngayon pero Arch, gusto kong malaman mo yong takot mong yon ang naging lakas ko sa lahat yong takot mo yong dahilan ko para mas kumapit pa kahit na hindi ko alam kung may babalikan paba ako, kung may kamay paba akong hahawakan kahit alam kong tapos na ang lahat dahil sa nangyari but here you are in front of me getting mad because I'm on cloud thinking how can I propose to you"
"Danielle"
"Arch I'm sorry, I'm sorry to what happened in the past I'm sorry for hurting you too much and sorry for the stupid things I've done, but I now I want to make everythings right, everything in line, everything fall into plans"
I look a deep breath and open the box I'm holding,
