MGA PAKIWARI AT PAGMUMUNI-MUNI (An AlDub Collection of Poems and Short Stories)

Creative Collabs Drabbles

A couple of drabbles I wrote for the Creative Collabs Book for the ADN Fest 2016. 💛

Grabe hanggang ngayon may hangover pa rin ako from the fest. Tapos kamusta naman ang jetlag? 😅

I will be updating a story of mine this week. I don't know which one yet but there will be an update. I promise.

As always - salamat po sa pagtatangkilik. Mahal na mahal ko rin kayong lahat. 💛

"Ang tagal na rin, ano?" she said quietly as they both stared at the horizon, watching the sun set - the orange hues off-setting the dark blue of the skies. His arms were around her waist, his chin on her shoulder as they bask in the simple joy of being together.

"Hmmm..." he replied just as softly. "At mas tatagal pa." He then placed a soft kiss on her temple.

She sighed, contented as she closed her eyes when the soft sea breeze blew in their direction.

"Happy anniversary, mahal," he whispered in her ear. "Mahal na mahal kita."

"Happy anniversary, too. Here's to 50 more years. Mahal na mahal din kita." She turned in his arms, placed her hands on his nape and tiptoed up to kiss him, the same way she did when they got married 50 years ago.

I watch you go up the stage, an unbelieving smile on your face as people all around start to stand, clap and hoot.

I grin as you took the award, the award that you've been vying for the longest time. With tears in your eyes, you turn and face everyone, the clapping dying down as you seek me out among the crowd.

When your eyes locked with mine, I mouth "I love you" and give you a small thumbs up, proud of what you did to be where you are right now.

With slightly trembling hands, you look at the award you're holding and start to speak. "Wow, best actor. Never thought na makukuha ko ito. Pero unang una sa lahat - salamat sa Diyos for this. Pangalawa, salamat sa asawa kong walang sawa na sumusuporta sakin. Meng - mahal na mahal kita."
