Jilliane's POV

Just when the music began to play, they also started their dance.

I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Soft voice of Ed Sheeran filled the quite venue. Everyone was watching them dance as if it was the last time they'll do it.

How I wish I can experience that on my 18th birthday.

Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine

Thoughts began occupying my mind. When will I start to love someone? Ganon lang ba kadali yun na, when you start to love someone, they'll also love you back? Is it still like the love stories we read, the love music we hear and beautiful life experiences we encounter? Is there anything such as butterflies in your stomach? Is there would be someone na papahalagahan ka and won't let anyone hurt you?

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Have you ever wonder if there is someone who looks at you and will say, "Wow, she's the perfect girl I've ever known. Having her feels like I'm not enough. Like, I will never be enough". Well, I always do. Yung iniisip mo na sana, may taong gagawa ng paraan makasama at mapasaya ka lang. Yung tao na, kahit gano pa kagulo ang itsura mo, sasabhin parin sayo kung gano ka kaganda. The best thing is? He really mean it.

Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes

Meron kayang tao na iniimagine kung anong future niyong dalawa? Yung taong pinaplano kung anong buhay ang gusto niyang maranasan kasama ka.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonightBaby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight

Yung taong, mamahalin at aalagaan ka habangbuhay at hindi hahayaang masaktan ka kailanman.

Natauhan nalang ako nang mawala ang tugtog at makabalik si Manuel sa table namin.

He looks at me and smiles. I smiled back pero nawala din ito agad thinking that, I'll be rejecting him soon.

And when it was the time for the food, sabay sabay na kumuha sina Wendell at Louise. I can still remember what happened last time. I stared at them and it seems like they're both okay. Hindi ko rin naman naririnig yung usapan nila nung gabing yun dahil nga nasa itaas na ako. But I saw both of them cry in a hurtful manner. Halata mo sakanila kung gaano sila nasaktan sa pag-uusap nilang yun. And the way Wendell walk away leaving Louise in the street seems new to him. Siya kasi yung tipong sobrang gentleman pero nung time na kasing yun, he walked away. Walk out walk out ang peg ng kuya mo! With matching luha luha effect pa.

"PFFT." Di ko napigilan ang pagtawa kaya naman napatingin sakin sila Manuel, Louise at Wendell. Naka balik na pala sila.

Lahat sila ay nakatitig sakin na para bang tinatanong ako kung may nakakatawa ba. Hindi ko na rin napansin ang prisensya ni Manuel dahil lumilipad talaga ang isip ko. At isa pa, hindi na rin naman na siya kumibo kaya hinayaan ko nalang.

"Anyare sayo?" Tanong ni Wendell habang nakakunot pa ang noo.

Nginitian ko nalang siya at sinabing, "Wala, may naisip lang. Hehe."

Tumango na lamang siya at sinimulan ang pagkain.

Kahit kailan talaga ang takaw nitong lalaking 'to. Pasalamat siya at maganda parin katawan niya.

Napagpasyahan ko na ring kumuha ng pagkain since may magbabantay na rin naman sa table namin. Kumukha ako ng plano at pinalagyan ng paborito kong pasta, ang Carbonara. Kahit pa paborito ko ito, onti lang ang pinalagay ko dahil onti lang din naman ako kumain.

Mabilis kong tinapos ang pagkain pero nagulat ako nang kinuha ni Manuel ang plato ko para lagyan pa muli ng carbonara.

"Kumain ka pa." Tanging sambit nito.

Pinilit kong ubusin ang pagkain sa plato dahil masasayang lang ito kung hindi ko kakainin. Isa pa, masarao rin naman kasi.

"Oh, kaya mo naman pala eh. Masarap ba?" Agaw atensyong sabi nito.

Aaminin ko, masarap talaga yung carbonara pero ang sakit talaga ng tyan ko dhil sa busog.

"Oo. Sino nagluto?" Sabi ko habang nakasilay ang ngiti saaking labi.

"Mommy ko." Nakangiti ring sabi nito.

Medyo mag gagabi na rin at napagpasyahan na naming umuwi. Nagpaalam ako sa family ni Manuel at pati na rin sakanya.
