Chapter 24

Flashback 3 years ago~

"Hey Drei, bakit ba ayaw mo tanggalin 'tong piring sa mata ko?" naiinis kong tanong dahil kanina pa 'to sa bahay! Buti pa nga 'yung nakalagay sa mata ko hindi nya makalimutan na tanggalin pero ngayong first anniversary namin hindi man lang nya matandaan 'ni batiin wala, hmmmp! Nakakatampo.

"Just a little more steps to go and I'll remove it, don't worry." And now he has the guts to act so cool? Really, Drei Esguerra?

Habang naglalakad kami at inaalalayan niya ako hindi ko mapigilan na mag-rant. Geez, feeling ko 30 minutes na kami naglalakad.

"Na saan na ba tayo-Drei! Teka na saan ka na? Wag mo kong iwa-Matapos mo ko paglakarin iiwan mo rin pala ako. Ang saya mo rin eh. Bahala ka, tatanggalin ko na 'to." In one swift motion, pagkatanggal na pagkatanggal ko, naramdaman ko ulit 'yung kakaibang feeling na nadama ko noon.

Habang naglalakad ako napansin ko 'yung isang lake na punong-puno ng water lilies, samahan mo pa ng mga lights. Breath taking 'yung scenery! Lalo na at gabi pa, mas nabigyang emphasis ang buong lugar. Bago pa ko mabalik sa katinuan narinig ko na 'yung pag strum ng guitar...

From the way you smile to the way you look
You capture me unlike no other
From the first hello, yeah, that's all it took
And suddenly we had each other

Nararamdaman ko na 'yung feelings 'nung mga bida sa movies na napapanood ko, nakakalunod, nakakakilig, nakakaoverwhelm, nakakasaya.

And I won't leave you
Always be true
One plus one, two for life
Over and over again

Tell me I am not dreaming, kasi If I am, ito na-ito na iyong pinaka best dream ever ko. Can I just stop the time?

So, don't ever think I need more
I've got the one to live for
No one else will do, and I'm telling you
Just put your heart in my hands
Promise it won't get broken
We'll never forget this moment
Yeah, we'll stay brand-new 'cause I'll love you
Over and over again
Over and over again

Now, I don't have any regrets why I did love and continue loving this man. He's everything I need. He may not be perfect but I know he is. I love everything about him, he is my everything. I so much love him and I won't get tired of saying that over and over and over again.

From the heat of night to the break of day
I'll keep you safe and hold you forever
And the sparks will fly, they will never fade
'Cause every day gets better and better

And I won't leave you
Always be true
One plus one, two for life
Over and over again

Unti-unti ko ng nararamdaman 'yung mga luhang nagbabadyang tumulo. Seeing him like this, full of efforts wala na ata akong mahihiling pa. Who wouldn't have thought right? Meron pa bang lalaki na ganito? I always love watching romance movies especially when it comes to serenading, nakakakilig!

Sana hindi dumating 'yung araw na iiwan mo ko, sana let's stay like this, iyong hindi mo ko kailan man iiwan, hope you'd promise me that.

So, don't ever think I need more
I've got the one to live for
No one else will do, yeah, I'm telling you
Just put your heart in my hands
I promise it won't get broken
We'll never forget this moment
Yeah, we'll stay brand-new 'cause I'll love you
Over and over again
Over and over again
