JERIC'S POV
"Yes, mahal ko." sabi niya habang todo pa rin ang pag-iyak. Teka, sinabi niya ba talagang "yes"?
"Yes?" alanganin ko pang tanong sa kanya pero sobra-sobra talaga ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.
"Yes, mahal ko. Yes.." nakangiti siyang tumango sa akin. "I will be with you through infinity and beyond." dagdag niya. Oh ghad! Arggh!! Hindi ko ma explain yung nararamdaman ko. Ito yata yung tinatawag nilang "bliss!".
Excited kong sinuot yung singsing sa daliri niya. Tumayo ako sabay ng matagal kong paghalik sa noo niya at pagkatapos ay niyakap ko siya ng sobrang higpit.
Parehas kaming lumuluha ng kaligayahan. "I love you, mahal ko. I love you." pinunasan ko yung luha sa pisngi niya.
"I love you too, mahal." at niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit.
Napuno ng sigawan, tilian at palakpakan yung buong airport. Lumabas na sila Sarah Geronimo at Christian Bautista at kumanta sila ng "A love to last a lifetime."
♫ We're all just merely passing through
Doing what we can do in a lifetime
We have more than one adventure to take
More than one dream to make in our lifetime
As for me there's only one dream
And that's to love you, my love
With a love to last a lifetime
We're fools we sometimes do crazy things
And our hearts would take wins like a sparrow
But that's life
We'll take each day as it comes
Never leaving the crumbs for the morrow
As for me, all of my days I will spend them all with you
Loving you with love to last a lifetime
If we all could leave something last in behind to be rememberd by
Just a song for me and then at least I would have tried
I agree it's not so much what we have
As how we use what we have in our lifetime
Thirty years is worth a hundred and two
It's really what we can do in our lifetime
All my love I would give for as long as I may live
With a love, true love, to last a lifetime ♫
"I'm so happy for the both of you! Congratulations, anak." lumapit sa akin si Dad at hinawakan yung balikat ko. "That proposal rocks!" dagdag niya pa. Niyakap din ni dad si Carrie.
"Congratulations, sweetie!" tapos niyakap ako ni mommy.
"Carrie hija, congratulations!" baling niya kay Carrie at tuwang-tuwang hinawakan yung kamay ng mahal ko at niyakap.
"Finally ate! Magiging totoong ate na kita." nakipagbeso-beso naman si Rein sa mahal ko. "Kuya, sobrang nakakakilig yung ginawa mo." sobrang tuwang-tuwa niyang sabi.
Nagsilapitan din yung mga basketball players na kaibigan ko at inakbayan ako sa balikat, "Congratulations brad! Sinong may sabing ang dating playboy ay magseseryoso at magpapakasal na sa isang babaeng sobrang minahal niya huh?" sabi ni Daniel habang sinisiko-siko ako sa tiyan.
CARRIE'S POV
"Princess, congratulations!" bati sa akin ni daddy at niyakap ako ng mahigpit. Panay pa rin ang pagtulo ng luha ko.
"Jeric anak, ingatan mo ang prinsesa ko." paalala ni daddy kay Jeric at inakbayan niya si Jeric.
"Opo tito. Pangako." seryoso namang sabi ng mahal ko.
"Anak, hindi ko lubos maisip na malapit ka ng ikasal." si mommy naman na umiiyak din at niyakap kami parehas ni Jeric.
Paglabas namin ng airport, nagliwanag ang kalangitan sa iba't-ibang kulay ng fireworks. Sobrang ganda at parang dinaig pa nito ang New Year celebration.
