After a long time, ngayon lang sila nagkasama ni Anton sa iisang kuwarto. She blushed when she remembers those passionate moment they had share in the past. Nagulat siya Ng biglang nagsalita ito.
"Sweetheart..." Bulong ni Anton sa kanya.
"Hmmm..." Aniya na nagkunwaring kakagising lang. "What?”
He saw mischief hovering from his eyes. "I wanted to tell you something." He whispered carefully not to wake their children.
"What is it?"bulong niya.
Kinuha nito ang kanang kamay niya. At inilagay nito sa palad niya ang isang singsing. It is a beautiful 3 karat emerald cut diamond ring.
Nagtatakang tumingin siya dito. She was about to say something ng muling magsalita ito.
"I bought that ring just for you few years ago, when were still living together. There were so many times I wanted to pop the question. But I'm to scared, and a little too hesitant. Now that your finally here, kinuha nito ang singsing sa palad niya then he said solemnly. "Will you marry this stupid guy, who's still madly in love with you?"
With a teary eyes, she nodded. "Yes."
He smile at her lovingly habang dahan dahan nitong isinusuot ang singsing sa ring finger niya. "I love so much sweetheart, I'm so-"
"Shhhh.. your finally here and it's all that matters."
"Let's get married." Pagkuwa'y Sabi nito.
"What? Now?"
"Yeah now."
"Are you crazy, it's 1am in the morning, sino namang huwes ang gising pa para magkasama sa atin."
"Yes, I'm crazy for you,."he winked at her with mischief , I knew someone who can marry us, just leave everything to me." Dahan dahan nitong inalis ang pagkakayap sa mga anak. At mabilis itong umalis sa kuwarto nila.
"Anton, pare what do you want?" Gusto niyang matawa sa mukha ng kaibigan. Halos hindi nito maimulat ang mga mata, Hindi niya ito masisi dahil ala una pa lang ng umaga.
"I wanted to asked you a favor?"
"Wha-?" Lumabas ito ng silid nito at hinarap siya. He look at his watch. "Dammit pare, can it wait until the sun rises, its too early in the morning, I still need my precious sleep."
