I'm in love with a Casanova

Chapter 39

CHAPTER THIRTY NINE - DANCE

I am silently praying while we're on our way

Oo, galit ako sakanya pero, hindi naman kailangang humantong sa ganito diba?

Lord, please..

"Ma'am, nandito na po tayo" I was too pre occupied and I didn't notice that we are here already

Dali dali akong lumabas at tumakbo sa..

Huh? Bakit nandito kami sa, kagubatan?!

Lumingon ako sa sasakyan "Kuya—" hindi ko na natapos ang gusto kong sabihin ng bigla niyang pinaharurot ang sasakyan palayo saakin

Hahabulin ko na sana ito kaso alam kong nagsasayang lang ako ng pawis. I frustratedly stamp my feet

Arghhh! Mamamatay na si Zack tapos nandito pa ako!

Tatakbo na sana ako palabas sa gubat na ito, but suddenly, I saw a small light coming from the side of the forest. Since madilim, kapansin pansin ito

My mind is battling if i'll just walk away and look for Zack or go and check the light

But I chose the later

I found my self walking directly to that place...

Nakarating ako dito at natagpuan ko ang dalawang kandila sa gilid ng isang daanan

Weird? Bakit naman may kandila dito? Mamaya masunog pa tong bundok

I don't know but I have this feeling to follow it, and again, sinundan ko ito at habang naglalakad ako, kasabay ng pagtapak ko ay ang pag sindi naman ng ibang ilaw

And there, while I am walking, I can hear a voice singing

What's more devastating is that I know that voice, alam na alam ko kung kanino nanggagaling ang boses na iyon

He is singing the song 'Marry me'. Tinignan ko lang siya hanggang sa natapos ito

I can't stop crying because I thought he is in the hospital? Bakit siya nasa harapan at kumakanta?

"Do you like it? Baby?" isang ngiti ang sumilay sa labi niya kaso ako, I glared at him

Like it?!

Lumapit ito saakin habang hawak ang isang bouquet ng bulaklak "Like it? Are you kidding me?! Halos mamatay na nga ako sa kaba kasi akala ko mamamatay ka na!? Hindi mo ba alam kung gaano ako natakot?! Pano kapag ako ang namatay dahil sa takot—"

He press his lips on my lips "I will never let that happen—"

"Well you just did!" sinimangutan ko ulit ito "I'm sorry baby, it's all part of the plan—"

I suddenly remember what I heard earlier "What about the bar thing? Is it true" tumawa ito "No, of course, I will never do it—"

"Nako dapat lang! Sinasabi ko sayo! Kapag talaga ginawa mo yon, lagot ka saakin!"

Ngayon ko lang napansin na naka ayos pala ito ng damit that made him look more handsome, but..

Magpakipot ka naman Lexia!

Agad akong tumalikod "Hmmp! Nag tatampo pa ako sayo" I tried to make my voice more serious kahit kanina pa ako kinikilig, hindi naman ako shonga para hindi malaman kung ano ang nangyayari dito

I heard him chuckle that made me smile "Look, I'm sorry about what happened earlier and about the call, I'm sorry baby okey? You know me, I will never cheat on you! I know, I'm a Casanova but that was long time ago, and I regret being one. I love you very much that I can't even look and think about another girl"

Hindi ako humarap sakanya kaya siya ang naglakad papunta sa harap ko

"Close your eyes, do not open it until I say so.." hindi ko siya pinansin at nanatili akong naka dilat, I smile para inisin siya "Baby, please, do not spoil the moment" mas lalo akong ngumiti at nang mag sasalita pa sana siya ay inunahan ko na "Fine, fine, pipikit na"

He hold my hand and lead the way

"Happy monthsary baby" I can hear how happy he is. I took this as a sign to open my eyes

"Do you like it?" like it? Is he serious?

"No..." I looked at him. There's a hint of sadness in his eyes "No Zack, like is not the term.. I love it, I really love this" I hugged him

Natigilan siya pero agad din nakabawi "Anything for you, my queen"

What's in front of us is a small tent with a lot of pillows on it. Maraming ilaw sa paligid that made it more magical. In front of this, I can clearly see the whole city and just above us, kitang kita ko ang mga bituin. A perfect place for star gazing

Sa kabilang sulok naman ay isang mesa na punong puno ng pagkain, marami ring balloon at sa dulo nito, may picture na nakakabit dito

I'm speechless..

"And about, about, the s-song – argh! I'm sorry my voice is not–"

"If I will choose the best cover of that song, I will definitely choose yours" isang ngiti ang sumilay sa kanyang labi. He's really handsome, and I'm really blessed to have him in my life

"Wag mo nga akong pinagtatawanan, edi sana kung sinabi mong may surprise kang ganito, nakapag ayos ako ng maganda" kanina ko lang din kasi napansin na naka uniform pa pala ako at ang buhok ko... Bakit noon? Ayos lang naman kahit ganito ang itsura ko kahit na marami pang tao? Pero ngayon?

"Then it would not be a surprise anymore if I –"

Inirapan ko siya "Then stop laughing!" sinimulan ko nang lamutakin ang pagkain na nasa harap ko

"It's okey, kahit ano pang itsura mo, If I will choose between you and the hottest girl living in this world.." he smiled that made my heart stop beating "I will always and forever choose you" umiwas ako ng tingin at pinigilang wag ngumiti. Eneveee, kenekeleg ne meeeee

"Want to dance?" tumayo siya at inilahad ang kamay saaakin "Wait, mamaya na, kumakain pa ako diba? Ang sarap kaya nito? Ano nga ulit tawag dito — Oo nga, sabi ko, tatayo na, hehe"

"Tsk" may pinindot siyang maliit na bagay at biglang pumaibabaw ang isang tugtog

"So ..... " hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at inilagay sa balikat niya, hinila niya ako papalapit sakanya. Ipinatong ko ang ulo ko sa dibdib niya ay inilagay niya naman sa bewang ko ang kamay niya

We remain dancing for I don't know how many minutes but that minute is the best minute in my life. We remain silent and enjoyed each others presence

And in his arms, I feel love and comfort

"Thirty days narin pala no? It may have been a short time since we met and fell in love, but this time is the best time in my life. I will forever treasure this moment and I'm looking forward for more years to be with you. I love you baby, today, tomorrow and forever"

I smiled. I wish I could just freeze this moment, right here, right now and live with it forever...

Because little did I know that this will be the last time I will be able to dance with him
