Nung nagsimula kaming kumain ay para kaming hindi magka kilala dahil di na kami nagusap.
A few minutes after, sabay naming natapos ang pagkain kaya naman nagkatinginan kami at sabay ring natawa.
"Gutom ako ha. Wag kang judgemental. Hindi ako maghihinhin-hinhinan sa harap mo just to satisfy you that I am graceful or whatever you call that." I said after laughing.
"I honestly don't mind Saff. I like you being you. You don't need to pretend." He smile.
"Ang dalas ng ngiti mo ah. Happy ka?" I ask
"Very."
I smiled shyly. "I notice you calling me so many names. Why is that?"
"Because I like giving you nicknames. My nicknames that only I will call you." He explained
"Ang dami na eh." I chuckled.
"You know what I research about your name because I am wondering how come your name is very unique and unusual. Nalaman ko na galing sa Hebrew yung Serafina, its a biblical name which means the fiery ones also Seraphim is the word that your name is derived from, it is the highest angel in the heaven."
Natulala ako. Did he just really research my name?
"Sera and Rafi is the common nickname for Serafina but since its too long for me to pronounce I come up with Saffi, making it sounds more cute"
"Grabe ka. Wala akong masabi!" I said amazed at how interested he is in my name.
"Actually kanina ko lang din nalaman na ang Saffi ay may meaning din pala sinearch ko ulit and I saw its origin is Greek which means wise, bagay na bagay sayo." He added.
"I'm speechless!" I said, still in awe.
"So basically you are a wise angel. Anyway, lets go?" Aya niya sakin.
"Why? Are we going home?" I said surprised at his sudden lets go.
"Nope. We're going somewhere."
"Where to?"
"You'll see." He said and then pulled me up to stand and dragged me to walk with him.
Sa elevator kami napadpad at pinindot nya ang Parking. Hinayaan ko naman syang dalin ako kung saan nya plano. This is my first ever date after all, why not make it memorable, right?
Sumakay kami sa kotse at parang alam na alam naman kaagad ng driver ang ibig sabihin niyon.
Hindi ko alam ang way na tinatahak namin kaya naman tahimik lang ako sa tabi ni Zky.
After 15 minutes in the car ay huminto ito. Ang bilis, andito na kaagad kami!
Naunang bumaba si Zky para alalayan ako.
He lead our way and my eyes widen with what's in front of me now.
A picnic blanket in the bermuda grass. Mayroon ding gitara doon at basket na hindi ko alam ang laman. Katabi ng gitara ay ang isang boquet of red roses.
Why are you doing this Zky? My heart thumps so fast because of happiness and kilig overload. Ang lakas maka-babae ng effort!
He holds my hand and intertwine it with his and pulled me to where his surprise is arranged.
Nagpatianod lang ako sa kanya at galak na galak ang puso sa ginagawa nya.
He made me sit on the picnic blanket and get his guitar. He handed me out the boquet. Tinabihan nya ako. He is kneeling in front of me.
"I won't be singing for you tonight but can I have this dance?" He ask and offer his hand.
I smile and take his hand to stand. Ang gitarang andoon sa picnic blanket kanina ay hawak na nang isang lalake at pumuwesto sa may mic at speaker sa kanan.
And the boy started playing his guitar so Zky holds my hand and place it on his neck and he put his both hands on my waist. Sobrang lapit nami sa isa't isa na para na kaming magkayakap na dalawa.
Zky started swaying our body gently kasabay ng pagtugtog nang lalaki.
"Another day another life
Passes by just like mine
It's not complicated""He's Sebastian. My cousin." Zky wisphered and I nod.
"Another mind
Another soul
Another body to grow old
It's not complicated"I stared at Zky's face. Admiring how gorgeous he is. His perfect pointed nose, his well angled jaw line, his cold but beautiful grey eyes, his thick eyebrows and eye lashes. They're perfect.
"Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me"Isinubsob ni Zky ang muka nya sa maliit na balikat ko. I think I'm too small for him but I perfectly fit in his arms. I chuckled at the thought.
"Another tear
Another cry
Another place for us to die
It's not complicated"He looked at me. "Why are you chuckling?" He asks.
"I was just thinking about something" I shook my head and smile at him and enjoy every moment of us being like this.
Another love that's gone to waste
Another light lost from your face
It's complicated"I rested my head on his shoulders and close my eyes. This is what it feels like when you're hugging someone special and its the best feeling I've ever felt so far.
"Is it that it's over or do birds still sing for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me""I want to give you nickname too. But I don't know which one will fit you." I said and heard him chuckled a bit.
"Ooh how I miss you
My symphony played the song that carried you out
Ooh how I miss you
And I, I miss you and I wish you'd stay""Anything is okay with me as long as its you." He answered.
"If you say so. I'll start thinking about that. I want something unique." I said.
"Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down
Like autumn leaves
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me"I hugged Zky because I like the feeling of being in his arms. Safe and secured. Nagulat man saglit ay nakabawi din. He hugged me back that made his hands be above my bare back. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pakiramdam ko ay matagal na kaming magkakilala, na matagal na nya akong kilala kaya ganito kami kakumportable kahit maiksi palang ang panahon.
"Touch down
Like a seven four seven
Or stay out and we'll live forever now"Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap at hinampas sya. He laugh softly and gesture his cousin a thumbs up signaling him that he did a great job.
"Why did you made me wear this kind of dress huh?" I hissed.
He laugh more. "Hey Saffi, you look so beautiful in that dress and yes I do not like you wearing such revealing clothes but, ako naman ang kasama mo. And this will be the last time that you'll be wearing sexy. Baka hindi ko na mapigilan sa susunod dahil makasapak na ko sa mga titingin sayo."
I rolled my eyes on him and he laugh again.
I decided to get my phone and stole a picture of him laughing at me.
Hindi ako kumikibo at nakatingin nalang sya sakin at tumigil na sa pagtawa.
"Bat ka nakatingin?" Sinamaan ko sya ng tingin at nginusuan.
He laugh again heartily at what I did. "Don't pout, I might kiss you!" He said.
Speaking of kiss. I went near him and kiss his right cheek.
"Thanks for tonight Muller." I said and smile wide when I saw him froze.
