Arrange Marriage: Destined?

28: Please Marry Me

(Third Party)  

Arrived. Silay City 9PM

The drive on the stretch of the airport road to Paseo Mabini seemed forever. He is getting antsy. He wants to get home now. But of course, it'll take an hour or more with the traffic that they hit right now made him wonder... of all nights why now? Can this traffic be some other time? Any day. Any time. Any nights, but not tonight.

He's sitting at the edge of his seat and the taxi is taking forever. He looked over the front where Sam is situated. He seemed relax. He seemed to not have a care in the world.

He used to be like that. He used to not have a care in the world but work, work and work. Oh and one more thing... more work. He took a deep breath and blow it like it was the last.

The music played on the taxi's radio. It made him feel little butterflies in his stomach.

To see you when I wake up

Is a gift I didn't think could be real

He wishes this line would happen in real life. He can't wait to see her again. A dream that he wants to come true. The dream that he wants to wake up next to her.

To know that you feel the same as I do

Is a three fold Utopian dream

That's the problem... is she feeling the same way about him, the way he feels about her? Is she thinking of him the way he's thinking of her? What is going on in him is beyond him. If in the past, he's more reserved about it, but not anymore. He will let it out.

You do something to me
That I can't explain

So, would I be out of line
If I said, "I miss you?"

He smiled at the thought of this song, it's right on the bat. He felt like he's under some kind of spell. She has bewitched him and he's not complaining. If Maine is some kind of witch, he'll take it. He'll accept it with open arms, with all his heart.

I see your picture, I smell your skin

On the empty pillow next to mine

He let out a soft chuckles. He smiled shaking his head at the thought of the night they shared. It was the first time he had a woman on his bed next to him and it was Maine.

How he watched her sleep. How he caressed her hair, her cheek. How he traced the curve of her nose to its tip. How beautiful she is.

You have only been gone ten days

But already I'm wasting away

It's not more than just ten days, it's been a few months. He doesn't know what's going to happen. He's mind is a wreck.

I know I'll see you again

Whether far or soon

But I need you to know

That I care and I miss you

I miss you

He hoped to see her again. He hoped to hug her again. He hoped to kiss her again. He hoped to... And yes, he misses her so much.

He looked outside and realized that San Sebastian Cathedral is not that far. A couple of corner it will be the church. He remembered the dream he had when he was younger. A girl was walking down the aisle towards him, dressed in a pearly white sequined gown, off the shoulder sleeves, laced beaded bodice and a very long see-through hand-beaded veil covers her face and continued on to her back and also serves as a train.
