Payb Takes

For Better or Worse

Feb 29, after EB:

M: *hears her phone ring* Yes Love?

R: Hello, Love. Sa dati tayo. Hintayin ko kayo. Malapit na ako dun. I love you.

M: Okay, Love. See you. Bye.

They met in a street in the city seldom frequented by people and vehicles. M's driver parked behind R's car. M got off and transferred to the other car.

M: Hello Gwapo! *grins*

R: *lGanaughs* Talaga naman. Hello . *quick kiss on the lips, drives off*

They proceeded to R's condo.

R: Love, upo ka muna. Kuha lang ako juice.

M: Thank you. *sits on the couch, checks phone while waiting*

R: *returns with their drinks ans sets them on the table*

M: Love, I got a message from Sir Carlo. Okay na daw IG ko. *she beamed* Wait, Love. Tawagan ko siya saglit to say Thanks. *makes the call*

R: *after her call was done* He sent me a message too. Nag-text na ako.

M: *with a wide smile, takes R's hand* Thank you din, Love kasi ikaw ang lumakad at nag-ayos ng lahat. Nandun ka lang the whole time. Di mo ako pinabayaan. I felt safe kasi nandun ka. You are my knight in shining armor. Thank you talaga. I love you. *kisses R gently on the lips*

R: You're welcome, Love. Always yan. Kaya masanay ka na kasi forever na to. *holds M's hand, looks her in the eyes* Nandito lang ako palagi para sa'yo. Aalagaan, po-protektahan, igagalang, at tapat na pakamamahalin for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health for as long as we shall live at higit pa. Kung papahintulutan ng Diyos na hanggang kabilang buhay IKAW at AKO pa rin ang magkasama, magkakampi at magmamahalan, araw-araw ko yung ipagdadasal.

M: *teary eyed* Paiiyakin mo naman ako eh. Nag-thank you lang naman ako.

R: Bakit? Totoo lahat yun, Love. Ganoon kita kamahal. *kisses her hand then takes her in his arms to hug her*

M: *with her head resting on his chest as they lay cuddling on the couch* Basta, Love, promise natin yan sa isa't-isa kahit 5 years pa bago tayo ikasal. Ngayon pa lang yan na ang promise natin. *sticks out pinky finger*

R: Promise. *made a pinky promise with M* Actually, 3 years talaga ang nasa isip ko nun. Press release ko lang yung 5 years. *both laugh*

M: Sana talaga umabot tayo sa edad ni Tatay kanina sa Sugod tapos ganoon din tayo, nagmamahalan pa din kahit ano pang mangyari. *looks up at R's face*

R: *remembers the conversation during the segment* Pasensya ka na, Love kung nagkukulang pa din ako lalo na sa time sayo. *looks down to her*

M: Ikaw naman, nagpadala ka na naman sa biro nila Kuya Jose. Wala kang pagkukulang. Naiintindihan ko na you do the best that you can for me sa time na pwede ka. * touches R's face, rests hand on his cheek*

R: Napakaswerte ko talaga sa super understanding kong girlfriend. *kisses her forehead* Someday, when we can slow down, mas maraming oras na ang mabibigay ko sayo.

M: *rolls on top of R, rests her elbows on his chest and pulls herself up to look down on his face* Basta masaya ako na kasama ka kahit gaano kasandali o katagal. I love you. *gives R a slow passionate kiss on the lips*

R: I love you more forever. Hanggang tumanda na tayo at pumuti na ang buhok natin, kahit kulubot na ang mga balat natin at wala na tayong ngipin ikaw at ikaw lang ang mag-iisang Reyna ng Payb Takes sa buhay ko. *smiles flashing his dimple*

He rolls to his side to keep her in a warm embrace and with one more loving kiss on her lips, he closed his eyes and they drifted off to sleep in each other's arms. 💕💏💕
