Until Love Fades

11 - Yo, dawg.

Damon was not there when I turned around... but a group of Damon's employees welcomed my sight. May hawak silang banner na ikinagulat ko nung nabasa ko ung nakalagay:

"Happy 1st Month, Mrs. Henry! :)"

First month of being married! First month of being Mrs. Damon Henry! Bakit ko ba yun nalimutan?! Goodness gracious, Serena. Bahagyang nakakahiya. Ugh.

I composed my surprised look and smiled widely. Well, nalimutan ko man, masaya pa rin ako. Ang sweet talaga ng asawa ko noh? Hihi. "Thank you!" malakas kong sabi na nagdulot para magpalakpakan ang lahat. Sa sobrang sweet ng asawa ko, nagiging corny na siya. Parang kailan lang, sobrang sungit niya tapos ngayon... ANYARE?! Hahaha. Tiningnan ko si Jenny na nasa tabi ko at halatang alam rin niya ito. So... na-set-up ako, ganon? Lahat na ng tao dito sa lobby, nakaharap sakin. Waah! Nahihiya ako. :")

I tried searching for Damon, pero hindi ko siya makita. Maglalakad na sana ako para hanapin siya... nang may isang pamilyar na kanta ang tumugtog sa intercom.

[Now playing: Born For You - David Pomeranz]

Too many billion people
Running around the planet
What is the chance in heaven
That you'll find your way to me

Tell me what is this sweet sensation?
It's a miracle that's happened
Though I searched for an explanation
Only one thing it could be

The sea of people parted as if they were the red sea... and there, right in the middle of the crowd, emerges Damon, my ever-loving husband. He was smiling sweetly at me... ang ngiti na alam kong para sa akin at sa mga anak lamang namin. Nagsimula na siyang maglakad papunta sa akin. Everyone was squealing in kilig. Oh, hindi nila alam ang nararamdaman ko. Kung sila nga na nanunuod lang kinikilig na, AKO PA KAYA?! I'm so happy I think I'm gonna die.

That I was born for you
It was written in the stars
Yes, I was born for you
And the choice was never ours
It's as if the powers of the universe
Conspired to make you mine
And till the day I die
I blessed the day that I was born for you

Lagi na lamang akong sinusurpresa ni Damon. At lahat ng surpresa niya, ay ung tipo na hindi mo aakalaing magagawa ng tulad niya. You never see them coming. Surprise kung surprise. Wala na kong mahihiling pa kay Damon. We have a happy fanily, contented life, beautiful kids, and a strong foundation which is love. May hahanapin pa ba akong iba? Wala na. As in wala.

Too many foolish people
Trying to come between us
None of them seems to matter
When I looked into your eyes
Now I know why I belong here
In your arms I found the answer
Somehow nothing would seemed so wrong here
If they'd only realized

Unti-unting lumapit si Damon sakin. Doon ko lang napansin na nakalagay pala sa likod niya ang isa niyang kamay. Hmm...

"Happy 1st month of being my lovely wife, Serena mine." bati niya sakin. Hindi ko na napigilang tumulo ang mga luha ko. Mine... Serena mine. Ang tanging endearment na talagang nagpapakilig sakin dahil alam kong para sakin lang yon.
