HIS...
BLESSED..
Probably the only word that could describe what I'm feeling right now. Everything went as planned and more. I didn't expect it to be that emotional like the movies.
Before, I find it too dramatic when a movie about a boy proposes to a girl then they get together both of them crying afterwards, but after experiencing it for myself I can say that, emotions get way too chaotic inside of you and you get sucked in the moment where everything is out of your control and all that you can do is pour out everything that you feel inside of you and be ready for the result.
There's excitement, nervousness, and anxiousness then add a little fear and spice it all up with happiness. I mean it's a pretty emotional, as in EMOTIONAL ride but it's all worth it. Everything is worth it.
I finally have my girl.
She's mine, officially mine.
Since it's Saturday today, I'm gonna ask her out for a simple date tomorrow to celebrate the start of our journey. I'm planning to start it by going to Church and praising God for his wonderful blessings.
After ko siya ihatid sa Eliazo, I went to our room naman and as usual I was alone, kasi si Kief and Von, umuwi sa bahay nila. I texted Dennise a good night message and it went weird and sweet as our conversation lasted. Everytime I hit send kasi, she replies the same message that I texted which ended up with us jinxing each other. Too much of getting to know each other huh? Pati yung messages connected na so I decided to call her.
Ako: Good niggghhhhtt! I love you.
I said then hang up the phone tapos napa-face palm na lang ako kasi I forgot to ask her out tomorrow. Kaya tinawagan ko ulit buti na lang sinagot.
Den: Hay nako, kulit. I thought we're gonna sleep already but you're still bugging me.
Ako: I'm sorry, princess. I just forgot to ask you something.
Den: What is it po?
Ako: Can we go out on a date tomorrow? I mean, I want to attend the mass with you po kasi. If you are free lang naman.
I heard her laugh after ko magsalita.
Ako: Why are you laughing at me?
Den: I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at the way you asked me po. It's like you're still courting me. Para kang kinakabahan na ewan. May I remind you po, Mr. MVP, I'm your girlfriend and you can ask me on a date anytime you want without being hesitant.
Ako: I understand po, I guess I'm just not yet used to having you as my girlfriend. I mean technically, we became official 2 hours ago and you're my last girlfriend po.
I explained after hearing her side.
And yes tama po kayo ng basa, she's my last girlfriend kasi I consider her as my future wife already, hihi.
Den: Sige na, nagpapakilig ka lang eh. Sleep na baby boy. I love you so much.
She said with her cute antok voice.
Ako: Good night, ganda. I love you so much.
I woke up earlier than usual and happier than usual. Nagkaroon kasi ako ng parang extra boost after what happened last night. I stil can't get over the hype from last night when Dennise became my girlfriend officially. I think what others say is true na if you found the ONE, you'll have this renewed reason for waking up everyday.
Damn! I love Dennise so much and I'll make her feel that way until forever.
I texted her agad na usual kong ginagawa after praying in the morning. I have this habit of texting every important person in my life when I wake up in the morning and I've done my morning rituals already.
To: Babe
Good morning, my sleepy head. Missing you already :) hahah sorry clingy boyfriend mode don't care. Can't wait to see you later. I love you so much!
Take note, tinext ko yan na parang tanga lang kasi nakangiti ako ng malaki na parang kinikilig pa.
After texting her, I texted my parents naman. Thanking them for their support and love.
Nagshower na ako and I decided to jog. I wore a white Ateneo shirt with my jersey short and nagpatong din ako ng gray jacket para mas mapawisan.
I looked at the mirror and ang haba and kapal na nga ng buhok ko. Yung bangs ko bagsak na and yung buhok ko mismo, wala nag porma. Before kasi parang Koreano yung buhok ko, like Lee Min Ho's hair. Makapal and straight yung buhok ko so when I went to the hair stylist, siya na yung nagdecide kung anong bagay sa' kin.
Haircut needed.
I noted myself. Kumuha naman ako ng head band para hindi nakatakip yung buhok ko sa mukha ko.
Dennise. Dennise and I have a date today and I ain't gonna ruin it. I looked at the mirror again and saw my reflection. Still the same Alvin I've been 6 years ago. I may have changed physically and became more mature, but still the same Alvin, only a better version.
Inayos ko ulit yung buhok ko. That's it, alam ko na kung anong kailangan namin ni Den. Make-over and pampering, we need it after all the stress that we've been through. We need some us time at a salon or spa para ma-relax kami pareho.
I smiled at my idea then went out of the dorm. I didn't bring my phone kasi hindi naman kailangan I just got my ipad and earphones para mas enjoy tumakbo.
I jogged sa oval para lang mapawisan kahit papano and because nakasanyan na. While jogging, iniisip ko kung saan pa kami pupunta ni Den after mag pa-spa. I want to bring her to new place kasi parang all the places near the vicinity, napuntahan na namin kapad nagde-date kami.
I have to ask Google or Zomato, for a place siguro later.
Biglang tumunog naman yung song na ni-request ko kagabi. Napangiti naman ako ang kinilig. Hahah I'm weird right now. I'm sorry.
Ilang minutes later, nakaramdama na ako ng pagod. Naka-ilang rounds din kasi ako, batak eh. Umupo ako sa bench na malapit, where I put my Gatorade kanina.
I'm so blessed. I have everything that I need in life and more. I just have to fulfill my goals for the people I love. I smiled at the reandom thought that crossed my mind. Dennise wearing her lab gown, talking to cute little girl, who looks exactly like her. They're smiling at me and waiting for me.
Soon.
Soon, we'll be that family that we both want.
When I got the enough rest that I needed, I decided to go back to our dorm para ma-start na naming ni Dennise yung date namin and for us to catch the early mass.
On my way back to the dorm, napansin kong may parang sumusunod sa 'kin. I looked around and found a black Mercedez-Benz parked not that far from me. Pinakiramdaman ko maigi kung sinusundan nga ako.
Medyo binagalan ko yung lakad ko, and tama nga ako, sinusundan nga ako. Medyo kinabahan ako and I feel like something bad's gonna hanppen, pero ininda ko na lang. Baka kasi may itatanong lang sa'kin or what.
I composed myself and started walking a little briskfully that a while ago. Sinabayan naman ng kotse yung lakad ko kaya mas lalo akong kinutuban na parang may masamang mangyayari.
Nung patakbo na ako, bigla namang humarurot yung kotse. I got a glimpse of who's inside since nakababa yung bintana. Nakita kong nakatingin sa'kin yung nasa likod nakaupo.
Even with shades on and the car moving, I recognized the person.
Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko. Nagtayuan lahat ng balahibo ko. My heart began beating wildly, like it wants to get out of my chest. Nanginig yung kamay ko and sumakit yung ulo ko. Bakit ngayon pa? Bakit kung kelan okay na ako tsaka siya bumalik?
