Nagulat talaga si Stacey sa sinabi ni Nick.
She removed her head on his shoulder.
"Are you serious?!!" she asked in a shrill voice.Her eyes wide open.
He looks cool as a cucumber as he grins at her.
"I have never been more serious honey." he said na may landi sa boses.
"Are you completely out of your mind? Ni hindi nga tayo mag-nobyo!" she said as she gawks at him.
Gosh! Is he on drugs or something?-- tanong ni Stacey sa sarili.
" I am crazy about you and I will go out of my mind if I will lose you." seryosong sabi nito.
Hindi napansin ni Stacey na nahawakan niya ang dibdib niya .Gusto niyang kapain if nasa tamang pwesto pa ang puso niya.Baka kasi nalaglag dahil sa sinabi ni Nick.
Napatayo siya and parang wala sa sarili na naglakad siya papunta sa gitna ng sala.
She doesn't know whether to cry or laugh hysterically dahil sa pagkabigla,saya at pagkalito..and panghihinayang na rin.
"Honey?" worried na tawag ni Nick.
He also stood up para lapitan siya.
When she felt na palapit ito sa kanya , lumayo siya ulit before turning around to look at him.
She motioned for him to stop moving towards her.
"No Nick! Please don't come any closer." she said sa tila nanghihinang boses.
She saw him frown but he stood completely still.
"You don't have to give an answer immediately honey.I'll give you time to think.Pero seryoso ako sa sinabi ko." he said while he looks at her intently.
"But why?" tanong niya.Her voice can hardly be heard.
Parang nagsisi yata siya sa tinanong niya.Does she really want to hear his reason? Hindi ba mas mahihirapan siya pag narinig niya?
"What do you mean why?" Lalong lumalim ang kunot sa noo ni Nick.
She walked towards the window.She stared at the lights on the street.
"Nothing.Forget my question."sabi na lang niya without looking at him.
Lumapit ito sa kanya but he didn't touch her.He also gazed out the window.
"It's late at night but the life in the city is just beginning.Look at those lights.See how they brighten everything?" he asked as if to himself.
"Without those beautiful lights,the whole place will be gloomy..lifeless.." he added.
He turned to face her.His hands still not touching her.His eyes drinking in her lovely face.
She's having goose bumps again.
Slowly she also looked at him as she embraced herself.
"Just like me..." pabulong na sabi nito."It took me 30 years to find the beautiful light to make me feel alive.I thought living means being successful in business and being able to have all the things that money can buy....until I met you."
Stacey felt her throat became suddenly dry.She is speechless.
"I have never imagined that I will be saying this...but now that I have you here..I have the sudden desire to let you know what and how I feel.I always call this..." His eyes roamed around his condo," ..just my unit...my crib.Pero ngayong nandito ka na,I want to call it home."
