JaDine Visuals

Revolution

James' POV

During our JaDine In Love concert, it was "Nadine... I.... love you."

Now fast forward to two years later, in Araneta again, I have another big announcement. Only, it's a little bit different from my first one and once again, Nadine had no idea. Let's just say, this announcement wasn't really an announcement... it was more of a question.

Before my previous announcement, I dropped heavy hints throughout the concert. And by heavy, I mean REAL HEAVY. If I didn't make the announcement towards the end of the concert that confirmed everything, I'm sure the fans and audience would've had suspicions and guessed it anyways.

Before that, me and Nadine were constantly spotted together out of work, so it probably wasn't much of a shock.

I still felt the coliseum's ground shake after the announcement though.

I would drop hints but I'm way too nervous to do that right now. Nadine probably thinks all this sweat from me is from all the performing I've done today. Nope. It's from all these damn nerves.

We're currently performing what our fans like to call, 'The Holy Trinity.' No erase, Bahala na and Hanap Hanap. Nadine and I are extremely proud of all the other music we've made since then but these songs will forever be iconic. They mark the early stages of our love story so it wouldn't be a proper JaDine concert if we didn't sing them.

Nadine has been giving me these questioning looks throughout the concert which was her way of asking if I was okay. She probably felt all of the nerves radiating off me as we performed. I've brushed them off, dropping kisses on her forehead to tell her that I was okay without verbalising it.

She asked me about them earlier, backstage. "You good, love?" She kissed my cheek in comfort.

"Yeah, I'm okay, love. Just nervous about performing well." I lied. Except, I was never good when it came to lying to Nadine (By lying, I mean lying for her own good, like surprises. Never negative) and I wasn't sure whether this was actually a good thing or a bad thing. At times like this, it was more of a bad thing because I had to make sure this stayed a surprise until the actual moment.

I could tell by the look she gave me that she wasn't convinced but instead of questioning further, she resorted to giving me a cuddle and rubbing my back in attempt to help me feel better. During moments like this, where Nadine made sure I felt her love, nobody but us existed. No worries. No nerves. No stress.

I thanked her, leaving a kiss on her neck as our moment was broken when we were called back on stage. And back came the nerves.

Right now, as we sing Hanap Hanap, the nerves are now full proof, as time goes by and we come closer to the moment, the end of the concert.

My hands get clammy as I grow more nervous. Yikes. I hope Nadine didn't mind that it was my hand she had to hold. My hands were slightly shaking too. I wonder if she could notice.

I had asked Direk Paul the same thing I had asked him last time. When I asked him if he could quiet down the music towards the end along with all the information about different ques, this time, thankfully he didn't question it. Because just like last time, I didn't want to tell anyone. I mean besides Nadine's parents. I had to ask for their daughter's hand in marriage of course, but that's another story for another day. One's thing for sure though, I was just as nervous that day as I am right now.

I didn't ask for anyone's opinion about this. You're probably thinking, 'but marriage is a big thing,' which is exactly why I wanted all judgement about this decision to come from no one else but myself. The only permission I needed was from Nadine's family. And thank God, without hesitation, they had approved.
