                                              "Nandito na ako, bilis na."
                          Ah! Hindi pa din ako nakabihis. Nakakainis naman! Ito na nga lang, bahala na. I picked up the light blue dress which is above the knee. Bumaba na din ako at ayaw ko namang paghintayin si Clain. Clain is my boyfriend, at 5 months na kami just exactly today. Kaya big deal talaga kung ano ang susuotin ko. Pagkababa ko nakita ko agad si Clain na nakaupo sa sofa and talking to Dad.
                          “Hey!” Pukaw ko sa kanilang dalawa. “Let’s go?”
“Una na po kami.”
“Dad.” Tango lang ang sagot niya saamin. 

                          At first, my relationship with Clain was a secret. Our first two months was really tough, we can’t be very close to each other when we are on publics’ eyes. Mahirap na baka mahuli kami ni Dad. 
                          But one day, nagsawa na si Clain sa patagong relasyon namin and he almost gave up on me. We broke up, but after a week, we talked and decided to finally introduce our relationship on both side, his and mine.
                          “I am sorry. Please Nikki, forgive me. I didn’t mean to break up with you. Sorry.” Napaiyak na lang ako sa sinabi ni Clain. Hindi ko kayang makitang nahihirapan siya.
“Shhh. Clain, I am not mad with you, I understand. I love you.” And I hugged him.
“Thank you Nikki. I love you so much. Promise we can’t be broken up by anything, by anyone.” He kissed me on the top of my head which made me cry harder.
                          “Nikki?”
“Hmm?”
“Please… introduce me to your Dad.”
“Clain… are y-ou? Are you sure?”
“Yes Nikki. No matter what happens after that, I will stay by your side. I will fight for you. Just please, let me.” I hugged him, tighter. I want him to feel how much I wanna hold on to our relationship, and to him.
“Yes Clain. I will let you, let us fight together. Let your family know about us.”
“Yes Nikki. I love you so much! Will you marry me?” what? Is he serious? We are too young to be married. Can we handle that responsibility well? What if we fail? What if our relationship would be eaten by our immaturity? What if---
“Babe, I’m just kidding.” Napabitaw naman ako bigla sakanya.
“Ugh! Kahit kelan ka talaga! Nakuu!!” he ran, and I run after him.
                          “Hey, Nikki, tara na. Hindi maghihintay ang jeep sayo.” Napalingon naman ako sakanya and there, I saw his smile.
“Fine. Let’s go.” And we are off to our date.
