Author's Note:
Guys! Hahaha! Tapusin ko na ba to? Haha! Pero tingnan naten. Espiritu ng kasipagan sapian mo ako. Sabaw na sabaw ako. Enjoy guys! ❤️

How long has it been? Ten years to be exact. I just turned 26 and Maymay just turned 29. I've always known that we would last but everyday I am still amaze on how strong we have become. We faced struggles that I thought would already break us apart but those experience just made us a lot more stronger. She became my source of strength since the day I met her. She became the sunshine through the darkest times of my life. She became the fire that keeps me going and the life that I've always needed.

She is the possible when everything seems impossible. She is the music when all was quiet. She is the dream in every sleepless night. She is the princess in every fairytale. She just merely completes every missing pieces of my life.

I was so into telling myself all the reasons why I so love my girl, my partner in crime, my bestfriend, my brad, my girlfriend and soon to be my better half, my wife.

Yes. I'm proposing to her today. So I am sitting here not knowing what to say, to think and to feel. Seems like all my nerves are getting out of hand. My palms are sweaty and my heart feels like it would go out of my ribcage any moment.

What if she says no? What if she doesn't accept me? What if I am not her priority right now? What if she is not ready for marriage? What if.... too many what ifs and I am totally getting crazy right now.

"Bro! You look like shit." Suddenly a voice cut me out of my trance.

"Really? God. I feel really nervous." I said as Marco seats besides me.

"Ano kaba? Ate May loves you so much at saka sa tagal nyo kasal nalang talaga kulang. Saka yung alam mo na. Yung palagi kong inuudlot. Hehehehe" he said.

"Yeah. Panira ka sa lahat ng moment. Iba kadin e. You should be thankful you're a brother to me. Could have killed you already." I said. "But what if she didn't say yes? What if she says no?" I continued.

"Don't you trust her?" He asked.

"Of course I do." I said.

"Then believe that she will always choose what's best for the both of you. You know how much Te May loves you. And you can see through her that you are the only one she would want spend her whole life with." Wow! Marco? That seems to be some serious answer huh!

"Wow! Where did you bring my idiot bestfriend? Who are you?" I asked. Teasing him.

"Buang talaga kayo ni Te May." He said.

"But seriously Marco, do you think May would say Yes?" I asked.

"Trust her bro. Trust her." He said.

"You are not helpful at all. Geez." I said.

The plan was quite simple. Because today is May's 10th year anniversary she will be having her concert and of course me as her special guest. For 7 years of officially being together as boyfriend and girlfriend we still didn't let everyone know about our relationship. We wanted to have a quiet and private relationship. And besides even though we don't admit that we are dating I know that everybody already thinks we are. They were just waiting for some confirmation. And I know that they would understand it. Our MayWard Family has been one strong foundation of our relationship and our career. They've become our real family. And I know that they will understand us for not announcing our relationship. And they have always been Team Panatag. Love that!

I planned my proposal by just simply being there on stage with May. We've got to sing and at the end of it I would just simple kneel in front of her. Quite simple but I feel like I am going to die any minute. Doing that in front of thousands of fans. And some where watching live across the world, tell me how to not be nervous! Tell me that is too simple. With our families watching, big bosses, friends and the whole world watching. Tell me this is easy.

Now I am watching May who has been running around like a mad woman. You know concerts backstage can be quite messy. And I just move out of their way. May has another prod before our turn so I just watched her as they glam her up. Some guest are still performing while May is still being busy with her make up and clothes. She is too beautiful for you not to stare.

I was too busy daydreaming that I was shocked that suddenly she is right in front of me.

"Love." She said. And I was cut out of my day dreaming.

I didn't even notice that she was done with her personal preparation and we are left in the room.

She sat in my lap and I was shocked really. I mean what if people suddenly came in and we are in this position. I just don't want her to feel awkward when people saw us in this position. Even though they've already see us a lot closer than we are right now it is still quite different when she just do it naturally.

"Yes? Love." I said as I pecked her lips. Oh stop yourself Edward. You can't ruin the makeup.

"I love you." She said. Okay! Something is different in the way she approached me.

"I love you too. You tired already? We still has a prod together. You are already doing a great job." I said.

She didn't answer me but the next thing she did startled me. She just kissed me on my neck! Like heck! May! We are on your concert and I was on my proposing mode the suddenly you act like this.

"Hey. You know I love what you are doing but people might walked in on us." I said.

"Your embarrassed?" She said as she pout.

"Oh No! That is not what I meant. I would love to kiss you right here right now. But I don't think this place is the right place for that." I explained.

"Okay." She sadly responded and started getting up.

I was quick to pull her back to me and I held her face. "Tampo kana? I *kiss* love *kiss* you *kiss*". I said as I kissed her in between. But the last kiss lasted a lot longer than I planned. She, still sitting on my lap, anchored her hands to my nape and deepened the kiss. She is quite, let say bolder today huh! I wonder why.

"I'm gonna ruin your make up if we continue this. And your stylist would be mad at me." I said staring at her eyes. "Why suddenly so clingy, love?" I asked.

"Ewan ko. I just want you to hold me. Saka to be close to you. Narerecharged ako." She said as she hugged me as tight as she can.

"Aww! I love you so much, my love." I said.

"May! Get ready. Ay sorry. Heheh. Ikaw na kase May! Later na labing labing jan ha." Said one of the program head.

"Hehe! Kuya naman e. Nagcharge lang ako." She said as she pecked my lips before standing up. "Be right back, love. I love you." She said. As she walked to the door.

"Sorry Edward ha. Masosolo mo na naman sya after ng pasabog mo mamaya. Habang buhay mo syang masosolo. Hahaha." He said. Yes everyone here on the team knows I am proposing except for Marydale. Of course.

"Kuya talaga. Haha! Kinakabahan tuloy ako." I answered.

"Ano kaba! Mahal na mahal ka nun. Halata naman. Trust her." He said.

All people seems to be telling me to trust her. And I do really trust her. It's just that I feel really nervous.

"Sige ha. After nito kayo na. Get ready." He said before heading our of the door.

God, help me. Bahala na po kayo. I said in a little prayer. Huh! You can do it Edward. Kaya mo yan. Mahal ka ni May! She loves me! And I trust her.
