Si Promdi made at Si State side

Chapter 47

''It wasn't really just a dream..?" 

Parang tanga na tanong nya kay Nate na ngayon ay nakaluhod na ang isang tuhod sa floor habang hawak-hawak ng dalawang kamay nito ang isang maliit na bukas na box and inside is a lovely ring. Nakangiti rin ito at tumatango habang nakatitig sa kanya.

''But how did it happened? Why are you not there when i woke up? Bakit di mo ako ginising? Bakit when i asked them they said you didn't come? Bakit..?'' So many questions running and circling in her head. Hindi sapat ang nagiisang bibig nya to ask them all at them same time. Bakit? Paano? She couldn't understand kung papaanong nangyari. 

''Were you the the one who draw  a ring on my ring finger?'' 

He nod. 

Gosh! It wasnt easy to remove that from her finger. Akala nya napagripan lang sya ng kung sino sa mga kasamahan nila sa bahay. If only he had known, baka ipinatattoo nya iyon. 

''Ang sama mo..'' naiiyak na wika nya dito ng wala na syang maauhap na sasabihin.

''Uhm.. so, are you going to marry me or not?'' medyo alangan na tanong nito habang nakaluhod pa rin. Nahampas naman nya ito dalang clutch bag. 

''Ouch! Why did you do that?'' tanong nito ng mabuway sa pagkakaluhod.

''Umuo na nga ako two years ago, di ba?'' naiiyak pa rin na wika nya habang inilalahad dito ang left hand nya. ''Bilis na. Ipasok muna.'' habang iwinawagayway ang kamay dito.

''Wait let me get up. Geez, this isn't what was on my mind when i imagine how it was going to be.'' Bulong nito na dinig na dinig naman nila habang tumatayo ito.

''You know,'' panimula nito habang hawak ang kamay nya at nakatingin ang mga mata sa kanya ''that if you say yes, wala nang atrasan ito, right?'' tanong nito na sinagot nya lang ng tango. 

Ngayon lang nagsink sa kanya kung ano ang nangyayari. Her heart is swelling wiht emtions. 

''Swang, will you marry me? Will you make me the happiest man on earth tonight? Will you be my travel buddy for the rest of my life? Will you--'' 

Ay letsi! kadaghan ba ug wil you will you aning oploka ni. -ang dami namang wil you will you nitong ugok na ito-

''YES! YES! YES!'' she said happily and surprise him with a hug. Kamuntik pa itong matumba. 

''I'm not yet finish with my speech.'' nakangiting wika nito habang nakayakap din sa kanya ng mahigpit.

''Wag mo nang tapusin. Yes na nga di ba.'' 

''Thank you and i love you.. so much.''

''I love you too'' 

Palakpakan ang mga tao sa paligid nila na nagpabalik sa kanilang katinuan. Both now realizing na napapaligiran pala sila ng mga bisita na ngayon ay nakangiting nagpapalakpakan. Nahihiyang itinago ni Rostica ang mukha sa dibdib ng fiance nya habang tatawatawang niyakap naman sya ni Nate.

''Your finally getting hitch!''

''That was one heck of a proposal.'' And a lot more teasing coming from his cousins and friends. Napapailing nalang sya na inilayo ang katawan sa nobya. 

She looks more lovely in his eyes kahit na namumugto ang mata nito at namumula ang ilong. Medyo nagulo na rin ang maayos na buhok nito kanina. But she looks so perfect. This really is the woman she wants to spend the rest of his life with. And with that thought, he held his left hand and put his ring on it. It fit perfectly. Just like how they fit each other perfectly. 

''I love you..'' madamdamin nyang wika dito.

''I love you too..'' she said mirroring his emotions in her eyes.

Kinabig nya ito at hinalikan sa noo. Sealing their agrement to their happily everafter.
