Jan:

"So this is where God brought us together?"nakangiting sabi ko. Hinawakan naman niya ang kamay ko at dinala sa ilalim ng puno.

"Yup. Why? Isn't it? This is where we became official and I know that's because of Him."naglatag siya ng blanket at yung basket na puno ng mga pagkain namin.

Pinaghandaan niya ang anniversary namin.

It's too flattering when you boyfriend never fails to amaze you. It's like he's courting me everyday.

This is a simple effort, yes. It's just a picnic but who cares? That's not really important. What important is we're together. We're sharing this relationship.

Love is not about material things, it's about the effort. It's about love that never fails. It's magical and wonderful.

Nilabas niya ang mga tupperware na nasa picnic basket.

"Pork Steak, Adobo and Chicken Curry?"tanong ko. Tumango naman siya at binuksan ang tupperware.

"I'm glad you recognized it."natatawang sabi niya.

"Ikaw ba nagluto nito, Hubby?"tumango siya. Natulala na lang ako bigla sa kanya.

"Don't expect too much. I'm not a pro. I don't know if it's pretty delicious or not but I want to cook for you because everytime I'm in your apartment or you're in my condo, you always cooked for me."napangiti ako at hinawakan ang kamay niya.

"Everything you cook will always be delicious for me. Hindi ko in-expect ito, hubby. I never thought you will cook for me. I know how frustrated you are when I'm teaching you how to cook and now you even cooked a lot."makakapagluto na naman pala siya. Bakit nung tinuturuan ko siya hindi man lang magbigay ng interes ang lagi niyang dahilan kapag naman daw bumuo na kami ng pamilya, siguradong ako lang ang magluluto dahil hindi daw niya gustong matikan ng magiging anak namin ang luto nya. Ang sabihin niya tamad lang siya. Pssh

"If it's not delicious you will always have the second choice."napakunot noo ako at napatigil sa pagkuha ng pagkain. Second choice?

Nilapit niya ang mukha niya sa akin akala ko hahalikan na naman niya ako pero hindi nagstop lang siya sa harap ng mukha ko.

"You can eat me instead."nanlaki ang mata ko at muntik ko pang mabato sa kanya ang plato na hawak ko. Nilayo ko siya sa akin gamit ang kanang kamay ko.

"Kadiri ka!"natatawa siyang tinulungan akong manguha ng ulam. Kahit kelan hindi na nawala ang pagiging naughty niya!

Nagsimula na akong kumain. Una kong tinikman ang Chicken Curry, knowing it's my favorite after Sisig.

"What does it taste? Is it salty? Wifey, you can just eat the sisig that Zac and her Mother gave me. If you want I--"sinubuan ko siya ng chicken curry at ng kanin.

"Calm down, Hubby. You're too harsh with yourself. It tastes good."ngumuya siya ng ngumuya at mukhang kumalma na siya dahil natikman na niya ang luto niya. Masarap naman kasi talaga. It's not that super delicious but it's quite good for a beginner like him.

"But it will taste even more better if I eat it like this."tumingin ako sa kanya at nagulat sa ginawa niya. He kissed me!

Napatakip tuloy ako ng bibig. I didn't expect that!
