Rhyme & Rhythm : A One - Shot Collection

Why Not?

You always ask me why I never wrote about you.

I did, you know. But only in passing. Call me selfish, but I'd like to keep our us-moments to ourselves, the way you keep all my selfies in your phone. (Don't you ever get tired of staring at my face?)

That sudden trip to Baguio, for example. Or nung bigla kang nagyaya ng Enchanted Kingdom. Or yung food hopping natin sa may BGC. Sorry guys, ipagdadamot ko si RJ sa inyo. Akin lang siya, nagkakaintindihan ba tayo?

Anyway, let me explain first why I'm writing this blog entry. Na isusulat ko kahit siguradong aasarin mo na naman ako kapag nabasa mo na 'to. (Remember the Bora Escapade? Hindi niya ko tinantanan nun. Ganyan pala yan pag kinikilig, nang-aasar.)

(Sorry for being sidetracked. Dami kong keme. Ito kasing si Alden matutulog na lang nakanganga pa. Post ko yung picture mamaya.)

Just two hours and seventeen minutes ago (bilang na bilang) you asked me 'why me?'

And I answered with the most touching answer of all time: "Why not?"

(DI BA GUYS TOUCHING NAMAN? AND IT'S VERY ROMANTIC KAYA!)

You tried to hide it but you were disappointed. I'm sorry. I read it, Faulkerson. Your eyebrow twitched and you looked down, then you did that sulky face na parang pamabata na ewan. Hindi bagay. But I know you understand why; alam mo namang hindi ako magaling sa mga salita unless written eh. Wag mo kasi ako binibigla ng mga ganong tanong.

Anyway! Ito na nga. Marami din namang nagtatanong. Bakit si Alden Richards? Bata ka pa, marami ka pang makikilala.

Ito po ang sagot ko.

I could meet thousands of other men but none of them would ever amount to RJ. To what he did and does for me. Yung mga binibigay niya sakin na wala namang namimilit sa kanya. Minsan nga sa sobrang bigay niya hindi ko na alam kung paano ko pa masusuklian.

He makes me happy. He makes me believe in myself. He makes me believe in the impossible. (Magickero po talaga siya, kung hindi niyo naitatanong. Pa-sample kayo minsan.)

He stayed kahit nung nagalit ako sa kanya. He stayed at tiniis lahat ng pagpapabebe ko.

He helped me conquer my fears. Kahit mapang-asar siya. (FOR THE LAST TIME HINDI AKO TAKOT SA MANGGA. BAKA LAGYAN KO PA NG BAGOONG YUN.) Opo, mapang-asar siya sa totoong buhay. SOBRA. Gustong gusto niya nga na pinapaiyak ako eh, para mayakap niya ko. 'Comfort' daw. Breezy. *eye-roll* (tapos di rin naman niya natitiis kapag ako yung nagtampo).

But, seriously, he stayed through everything. That was all that mattered to me anyway.

So kahit hindi siya magaling magsulat ng tula, kahit mabaho ang utot niya, kahit katakot-takot na paglalambing ang dapat gawin tuwing nagseselos siya, okay lang. His imperfections just make me love him more. Tsaka kung perfect na siya, eh di hindi niya na ko kakailanganin. Wag ganun.

Tsaka kahit hindi niya ibigay sakin yung mga yun, I've seen him as well. I've seen the way he treats others, even those underneath him. I've seen what makes him happy, what makes him sad. What makes him him. And I've never seen anything more amazing than that.

I don't know. Baka ginayuma ako ng dimple niya.

Besides, napagtitiisan niya ko tuwing may PMS ako. Papakawalan ko pa ba?

To Mr. Faulkerson:

Ito na yung explanation ng why-not ko. Alam kong mamaya mo pa 'to mababasa, pagbaba natin ng airplane. Or baka next time pa kasi magkakaron ng traffic yung site. Basta, the next time you ask me why, alam mo na ibig sabihin ng why-not.

Wag ka na magtampo. I know you toot me. Yieeee.

Tsaka ewan ko ba kung bakit tinatanong mo pa. Here's what you need to know: Obviously, my reasons to love you are enough for me to say 'yes' to your proposal, Mr. Faulkerson.

Maine's site couldn't be opened for a good two days. Alden was just able to read it through screenshots, and when he did he turned towards her in the van they were in. Patay-malisya siyang nagchecheck ng twitter sa phone niya, deliberately deciding to not look at her better half.

"Maine," he said with an amused smile.

"I thought we're keeping it a secret?"

"What for?"

"Nothing," he chuckled, and then reread her entry. "Hindi ba tayo mapapagalitan?"

"I wasn't exactly specific, RJ. I doubt that."

"Sinabi mo talaga sa kanila na magickero ako?"

"Oo. Bakit, sikreto ba yun?"

"Hindi naman," then, getting an idea, he faced Maine fully, smirking at her. "Wanna see my wand?"

Iwan na po muna natin ang dalawa.
