It's been a half year since Hyane and I reunited. We became friends then the urge of wanting her to be with me all the time lead me up to make a move of courting her. She's one of a kind and this day, on her eighteenth birthday, I will show them how lucky I am to be her man. Well, fingers crossed. Sana sagutin na nya ako.
I am so excited and I can't wait. Kasama ko lang sya kahapon para kunin ang dress nyang isusuot. Well, her dad trusted me like the way he trusted my dad. Today is her day and I want her to be happy. Nadito ako ngayon sa bahay nya para manggulo at gisingin sya. I want to be the first person she'll see when she wakes up.
Hi, gorgeus. Happy birthday! Bungad ko sa kanya. She was shocked as if she never expected to see me in her state like that na bagong gising. Blow the candle. Nangangalay na ako. I pouted. She just smile and close her eyes for a while then blew the candle. What is your wish? I asked her. Secret. Then she tongue herself out. Nahiga ulit ang bata habang pinapatong ko naman ang cake sa bedside table nya. I pat her head and stare at her, like memorizing every inch of it. Staring is rude, mister. Pambibiro nya. I grinned and lay beside her. Still sleepy? She nods with her eyes still close. Let's sleep together. And so I hug her and she hugged me back. I kissed her hair and close my eyes. I smiled, kasi heaven sa pakiramdam. Hugging her while sleeping is one of the best moments I will remember for all of my life.
HYANE
Nagising ako sa sinag ng araw na tumatagos mula sa bintana ko. This is my day. I'm 18!!! I smile. Tiningnan ko ang lalaking nakayakap sa akin at hindi ako binibitawan. Kinikilig ako. Hinayaan ko lang syang natutulog ay yakap ako kaya pumikit na ulit ako at bumalik sa pagtulog. Naramdaman nya siguro na nagising ako kaya naginat inat muna sya. Naramdaman kong inaayos nya ang buhok ko na nakakalat sa noo. He kissed me in my forehead and I find it sweet. Still sleepy? Tanong nya. I opened my eyes and I saw him smiling at me habang nakatagilid sya at ang right hand nya ay nakatuon sa kanyang noo. No. It's just that... I'm too lazy to get up pa. I answered. Well, then. I'll get going. May photoshoot ako ngayong umaga. I'll meet you after my photoshoot. He said. Pwede ba akong sumama? He smile and he nods. Kaya lang baka mabored ka dun. Umiling ako. Okay. I'll pick you up around thirty minutes. Bye, birthday girl. He kissed me in my forehead again saka umalis. Nung marinig kong nakaalis na ang sasakyan nya saka lang ako nagtatalon sa kama at nagsisigaw. Bigla naman pumasok si Dad at halata sa kanya ang pagkatakot. What happened baby? Ginalaw ka ba nya?! Binigay mo na ba ang Bataan?! Sunod sunod na tanong nya. Dad anong Bataan sinasabi mo dyan? Humiyaw ako kasi kinikilig ako. Oa mo naman dad. Saka ako tumawa. Akala ko kung ano na. Nakita ko pa syang humawak sa dibdib nya. Happy birthday dear. Bati nya. Mukhang may bago nang superhero ang baby ko.sabi nya habang yakap ako. I smell jealousy, Superman. Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap sa kanya and kiss him on his cheek. You'll always be my number one superhero dad. Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko kapag nawala ka. He smiles. If that happens, I am more comfortable if I left you with Mackenzie beside you. Bago pa mangyari yun, I will make sure na kasal na kayo and I'll be the one who personally hand you over to him at the altar. Sabi nya. You like him for me? I ask. Hundred percent. Nakita ko kung pano sya pinalaki ni Laverne and swear, hurting you is the last thing he'll do. I hug him again. I love you so much. But Akii will pick me up after thirty minutes. I giggled. Go make your day full of happiness. I love you too. Punta na ako sa office. Paalam nya. I nod. When he left, nagdiretso agad ako sa bathroom at naligo.
Wearing my jeans and shirt, I end up a messy bun and a lipgloss before Akii came. Narinig ko na ang busina ng kotse nya. Tumingin ako sa lifesize mirror sa closet for my final check sa ootd ko then bumaba na ako. Manang Fe, makikilagay po sa ref nung cake na nasa bedside table ko. Thank you. Bilin ko kay Manang Fe bago ako lumabas ng bahay. Sinalubong ako ng mga ngiti nya na makalaglag panty. Hi. Bungad nya. Hello. Sagot ko naman. Let's go? I nod. Binuksan nya ang pinto ng shotgun seat at isinara pagpasok ko saka sya umikot papunta sa driver seat.
