“Do you love me?”
“Oo naman. Mahal kita.”
I imagined a place filled with beautiful lights.
The garden would be at it’s best.
Sa gitna ng garden, may isang malaking bilog.
The sides of it is actually a fountain.
At sa gitna nun…
Magaganap ang pinakamasayang eksena sa buhay ko.
The setting would be the most romantic scene anyone could ever decipher.
But it wouldn’t be perfect until the love of my life is in the picture, with me, holding her hand and asking her to spend the rest of eternity with me. She will answer.
Biglang lalabas ang tubig mula sa fountain kasabay ng pagputok ng mga fireworks.
And it’s more than perfect.
“Sir?” I snapped out of it.
“Nakaset up na po ang lahat. Anong oras po ba darating ang girlfriend niyo?” ngumiti ako. This is it. Wala nang urungan.
“Oo naman. Mahal kita.”
Kung sabagay, ano pa nga bang dahilan ko para umurong?
“Sige. Tatawagan ko na siya. Maraming salamat.” When she said those words, wala nang anu pa man sa mundo ang makakahadlang pa sakin.
Lahat ng takot, inggit, insecurity…
Lahat ng yun nawala.
‘Cause as long as Niobe loves me, nothing else in this world could interfere between the two of us.
and yes.
I AM PROPOSING TO NIOBE.
“Hello? Gab?” Napangiti ako sa sarili ko.
Hindi ko maipaliwanag kung bakit ganito na lang ang epekto sakin ni Niobe.
Samantalagang pangalan ko lang naman ang binanggit niya.
