Chasing My Princess

30: EIGHTEEN

-- MAKI'S POV --

I could not ask for more.

I have a happy life.

Supportive family and friends.

I have Tanya.

I prefer to call her Steph kapag naglalambing, pero dahil mas kilala na siya na Tanya, it was fine with me. She is the best girlfriend I ever had. She is cute, funny, quirky, lovable, faithful to God and just a smile from her makes my day. I have never felt like this for three years.

Sinabi ko naman sa kanya na ex ko si Bettina. I was really open about it to her. She doesn't mind either kung may nakaraan kami ni Betchay o wala. She keeps on telling me '' She's happy with her life now, and you're happy with yours too, right? So why worry? I know naman na mauunderstand ni Bettina yun if magkita man tayong tatlo.'' She was always positive about everything. She never made me feel na masama akong tao. Na may nasaktan akong babae noon.

Alam ko na ngayon na I have changed.

Hindi na ako yung dating Marco na laging nagdadalawang isip at paiba-iba ng desisyon.

With Steph around, I know I'm okay.

November 18.

2nd Anniversary namin ni Tanya bilang boyfriend/girlfriend.

I was really planning for this month since August pa. Balak ko sana sunduin siya sa coffeeshop and dalhin siya sa EDSA. Yung pinakamalaking electronic billboard dun ang  magiging greetings ko sa kanya along with our photos and videos na pinagawa ko kayna Troy. Parang greetings nung mga mahal namin sa buhay. I know she will really like it  since mahilig siya sa mga surprises.

'' Hello, Ken. Okay na ba yung mga videos? Gumagana ba lahat?'' I said to him while driving.

'' Yeah dude. Lahat gumagana. Kaso ilalagay pa namin yung background song. Nasaan ka na ba?'

'' Nasa Makati pa lang. Malayu-layo pa ito. Mukhang di pa makaget over sa rush hour ang mga tao eh'.''

'' Friday kasi, that's why. Lahat pauwi. Osige lagay muna namin ito nina CJ. See ya!'' Then I hanged up the phone. I was really excited and at the same time, super nervous. Magugustuhan kaya ni Steph ito? Sana maiyak siya sa kasiyahan? Hehe. I have never done this to anyone. She is the only exception.

Kinuha ko ulit yung phone ko at kinontak si Steph. Niloudspeaker ko since I was driving.

'' Baby, nasaan ka na?'' I said

'' Yeah. Hihi~Matatagalan ka pa ba?'' She seems so excited for it from her tone.

'' Medyo. Mga 30 minutes na lang. Lapit na ako.''

'' Yeah sure. I will wait. Baby..'' Tanya

'' Yeah? ''
