R: *yawns and stretches as he lays in bed* Ang lamig. Sarap ng ulan. Sarap matulog.

M: *scowls at R as she stands beside the bed with her hands on her waist* Tulog ka diyan. Second anniversary natin bukas, di ba tayo magce-celebrate?

R: Di pa naman bukas Anniversary. Maaga lang yung celebration sa Bulaga kasi Sunday talaga yung 16. Mas maganda nga, Love na matulog na tayo para may energy tayo para sa mga pa-surprise natin bukas.

M: Kahit na. Di ka ba nae-excite? I'm sure buong AlDub Nation naghahanda na by this time tapos ikaw waley lang?

R: Wala ka naman sa Twitter bakit ka naman mae-excite?

M: Akala mo lang wala pero nandoon, nandoon, nandoon ako.

R: Tignan mo to. Ayaw ng nega pero lurk nang lurk sa private account.

M: Di ko naman laging tinitignan. Masaya kasi bukas kaya magbubukas ako at midnight. Bakit ka ba kontra ng kontra? Kung ayaw mo, e di wag. Ako na lang magce-celebrate mag-isa. *pouts, stomps her feet and walks out of the bedroom*

R: *sighs* Hay, Mrs. Faulkerson, di mo lang alam kung gaano ako ka-excited. *grins, jumps out of bed*

July 15, 12:00am:

M: *sulks as she sits on the floor of the hallway leading to their balcony, browsing on some early tweets* Kakainis talaga yung Faulkerson na yun. Mag-isa lang tuloy ako. *pouts, looks at the glass door damp with raindrops*

R: Happy second Anniversary Eve, Love. *smiles as he stands a few feet from M with a picnic basket in one hand and a bouquet of roses in the other arm*

M: *pouts at him* Nakakainis ka. *sniffles and starts crying*

R: Halaaaah... Umiyak na. *rushes towards M, sets the basket and the flowers on the floor and wraps M in his arms* Sorry, Love. Surprise kasi yun.

M: Nakakainis yung surprise. Na-hurt ako talaga. Kala mo. *pouts and hits R's back*

R: Ssshhh... Sorry na. Sorry na. Sorry na, mahal ko. *gently strokes her back, kisses her shoulders* Ano na? Akala ko magce-celebrate tayo. Iiyak ka lang pala. Mag-iyakan na lang tayo? *laughs*

M: *alternately laughs and sobs* Ikaw kasi. *pulls away from R and wipes her tears*

R: Oo na. Ako na. *cradles her face in his hands, presses soft kisses on her forehead, her eyes, nose and cheek* I love you, Ma. *smiles*

M: I love you more, Dad. *grins*

R: *leans to kiss M gently and passionately*

M: Ano ba yang surprise mo?

R: Picnic sana tayo sa balcony parang ang sarap mag-stargazing kaso umulan eh.

M: Pwede pa din naman. *smiles* Kita pa din naman yung labas dito sa may pinto kahit medyo may ambon at walang stars may city lights naman. Linisan lang yung glass.

R: Sige. *beams* Ako na. *stands up, finds a rag in the bathroom of the guest room and wipes the glass clean*

M: *helps R set up the blanket and pillows then lay out the food*

R: *sits on the blanket and holds out his hand to help M sit beside him, opens the bottle of wine and pours them a glass each*

M: Happy 2nd Anniversary, Love. Para sa marami pang anniversaries nating dalawa. *raises glass*
