TOGETHER

Bumulong siya. "Mas maganda na di muna natin ipaalam"

"Napag-usapan na natin na sasabihin this weeksary, di ba? Anong nagpabago sa isip mo?"

Kinuha niya ang aking kamay. Inilapat sa kanyang dibdib. Tumingin sa akin, nakikiusap, nagsusumamo. "Mas mapo-protektahan kita if we don't announce it today. I can't let them see you in a different light. You're too precious for me."

Ngumiti ako. "RJ, it's the same with me. I will and always want to protect you too."

Umiling siya. "Menggay, I know this industry, I've been here longer...and with our announcement today, they will eat you alive. I'd rather it be me than you."

Tututol sana akong muli nang sabihin niyang, "One year. Just give me one year. I'll take all the blow that I could get. As long as you're safe."

I felt tears flowed from my eyes. Hinawakan ko ang kanyang pisngi, bahagyang pinisil iyon. "No, I will not let you. We'll face it together. One year from now things will change and we'll be happier. Together and stronger. I'll protect you. The same way you'll protect me."

Tumulo ang luha mula sa kanyang mga mata. "I'm not sure if I can keep my composure if someone gives a snide comment about our announcement. This is too important"

"I'll be near and keep you calm. Beside, everyone will back us up. They're happy for us. Let's just get this over with, okay? My Tisoy." I smile, teasing.

He finally smiled back and kissed my lips then he said, "I love you. I am so lucky that I met you"

"So am I. I love you too"

That weeksary, Alden and Maine announced their marriage that was done secretly and that Maine is already two months pregnant.
