An Affair to Remember

4th Daylight

KEON

I was too damn tired yesterday. But even so, I was not able to sleep well. Until now, I could not forget the kiss I got from KC yesterday. I know, it was just a peck on my cheek. It was nothing, right?! It was just a friendly gesture, right? She just did it 'coz she wanted to thank me, right?!

Ghad! Why am I making such a big deal out of it? I have to get that out of my mind. I got up. It was almost sunrise. 

I sent a message to Nikki.

To: Nikkiheart

I'm ALIVE, Heart. :-)

And I got this reply.

From: NIkkiheart

ALIVE. U really can't follow rules, huh?! :-)

I smiled reading her reply. Yah, I think I really don't know how to follow the rules.

I ran out of my cottage. I had to catch the sunrise.

She was already there. Waiting for the sunlight. I can't help but be mesmerized looking at her while she's staring at the horizon.

I guess she felt that someone was looking at her, "Hey! Kanina ka pa ba dyan? Halika na dito!" She shouted.

I sat near her and the sun started to rise.

"What's your plan?" KC asked.

"For today?"

"Nope! What's your plan ... with ... your life?"

"With my life?"

"Yup! Goals ... Plans ... Dreams ... You know!"

I look at her. Then I look at the sun. My plans? Oh, Well ... A few months ago, I had already made my plans. Plantsadong plantsado na.

My plan was so simple and so easy to attain. It was within my reach.

I planned to marry Nikki. I planned to build a family of our own. I planned to make our companies bigger. I planned to have a happy, no-complications life with Nikki. 

A few months ago, I thought that if I was able to execute those plans, then I would be so contented. I'd be the happiest man on Earth.

I looked at KC, then I looked at the horizon again.  Today, thinking of those plans make me really wonder if those things  would really make me happy. 

What has happened to me? For a very long time, I had no doubts about my plans and my goals. I can't believe that my whole perspective in life would change by just watching four sunrises in this far away place.
