Nayeonie

Epilogue

[Mark's]

I remember.. How I used to looked at Nayeon. I remember her, smiling at me, laughing at me and holding her tightly.

Ayokong mawala ang mga araw na yun sa isang iglap ng dahil sa aksidente. I don't wanna lose her.

Mark: I love you.

Seen.

She saw it. She wasn't dead. She was pretending to be dead. To fool me and her parents. Pero okay lang yun. Mahal ko siya eh. Mahal na mahal ko siya eh.

And now I am gonna do something for her. The one that she'll cherish the most.

"Hyung! Tawagin na kaya natin ang ibang barkada?" Suggest ni Youngjae. Tinignan ko sila, oo nga pala. Konti lang kami.

"Sige, tawagin mo sila Jeonju. ASAP sabihin mo." Utos ko. Agad kong tinapos ang pag lagay ng mga lobo sa lupa.

Today is the day that I am proposing. For my beloved Nayeon. I want her forever. And today's year? 2019 na ngayon. It was years. And I'm happy.

I called Tzuyu to get Nayeon dressed. Patapos na kasi eh. It was 7 hours later.

I left our house without asking my mom to play outside. I already wanna see Yeonnie. I really really like her. I think I have a crush on her. Is that even possible? Bata pa naman kasi ako eh.

My mommy introduced me to Yeonnie when I was 5. And she remembered me when we were 7. Makakalimutin talaga siya. Hehe.

She has this cute bunny teeth, a cheeky smile and a long beautiful hair. Hindi ko alam pero lagi ko siyang hinahanap. I like her attitude, her etiquettes and everything nice about her. But I love her flaws. The way she pout at me and smack my tummy playfully.

When she was 12, we almost have the same class. I was very happy with it. Almost died in hapiness. I saw how her face looked at her crush. Kim Seokjin. The classes and levels were mixed. She was happy because we have a subject with Seokjin. Aaminin ko, nagseselos ako nun.

But mahal ko siya at siya lang ang mamahalin ko pang habang buhay.

"Mark hyung! Andyan na siya!" Sigaw ni Jeonju. Nagsitago naman sila kaya nahsimula na ako.

I don't really have a good voice pero kakanta pa rin ako para sakanya.

“it's her hair and her eyes today 
that just simply take me away”

She was stunning. As always. Wala akong pake kahit sintunado ako, makantahan ko lang siya okay na ako.

“all the times i have sat and stared 
as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
and she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,
with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say”

I heard her chuckle. Ang cute niya talaga. Tinignan niya ako sa mata. Agad ko siyang nilapitam ng dahan dahan. Maingat at parang natatakot na baka masira ang plano.

"Why are you doing this?" Tanong niya habang nakatingin parin sakin. I just shush her.

“coz i love her with all that i am 
and my voice shakes along with my hands 
cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea 
but i'd rather be here than on land 
yes she's all that i see and she's all that i need 
and i'm out of my league once again”

I held her hands and kneeled. Ito na yun, Tuan. Ito na yung hinanda mo.

"Nayeon, we have been through many challenges that has never been told. Na tayo lang ang nakakaalam. To be honest, I like everything about you. The way you pick your nose or have a drink that you can't even tolerate. Gusto ko lahat ng mga kabaliwan mo. At komportable ako dun. Yung mga times na nagtatampo ka sakin, natatawa ako dahil ang cute cute mo. Yung mga dishes na kailangan mo pang pag aralan, you did make an effort. Nayeon, I am so happy. Dahil dumating ka sa buhay ko."

I heavily sighed before continuing, "As a man myself, I want you in my life. Ayokong makuha ka ng iba, ayokong mawala ka pa sakin ulit. So I'm taking the risk and I wanna be with you. Forever. I know naman na maraming nagsasabi na walang forever, but I wanna make it happen to us. I wanna grow old with you. I love Nayeon."

I took out a small box, "Will you marry me?"

Nayeonie covered her mouth. Nagulat ko ata. Hinintay ko ang sagot niya.

"Yes. I will marry you, Mark Tuan!" Agad akong tumayo ang niyakap siya paikot. Pinunasan ko ang kanyang mga luha at hinalikan siya sa noo.

"I will love you forever and ever, Nayeonie.. I love you." I looked into her eyes. As the gap of our faces are fading.

"I love you too, Mark." At hinalikan ko na siya.
