IMAGINES ft. BeaDdie [EDITING]

It's A Date!

Maddie's

So, preparing for a date is never easy. Every Friday, parang dinadaanan ng bagyo ang room ko.

Yes. Palagi akong may date every Friday, but just with a certain person. My girl, my Isabel Beatriz. Nakasanayan na kasi namin na magdate every Friday. It's like an agreement, though wala naman talagang agreement. Parang both of us have this strong connection lang talaga.

So, yeah. Here I am again, preparing for the date kasi nga Friday na naman. For how many months, paulit-ulit na naming ginagawa 'to but I always feel like it's still the first time. Nandoon pa rin yung unexplainable feeling 'pag iniisip ko sya, 'pag iniisip ko na makakasama ko na naman sya ng matagal.

Bea and I met in a most unexpected way. She was heading to La Salle for the enrollment when she accidentally bumped on me noon sa isang convenience store. Palabas na sana ako when she bumped on me, causing me to lose my balance and land on the floor. She helped me naman agad while saying she didn't mean it, na she's in a hurry. It was okay naman but she insisted na ihatid ako kung saan ako pupunta. I told her na sa Ateneo and I saw how her forehead creased.

She hated Ateneo pala!

At first, she was so hesitant na ihatid ako. I told her it's okay kasi kaya ko naman pumunta dun, but hinatid nya na rin ako. I thought that was the last time na magkikita kami but I was damn shocked when I saw her noong first day of school. Sa Ateneo din pala sya nag aral.

We became friends and she told me na she chose Ateneo kasi she felt something different sa environment ng school and even ng mga Atenista.

Who would've thought that the girl who was cursing and hating Ateneo to hell before, happened to wear Ateneo's jersey, sang Ateneo hymn, and fought for the school's pride? Ang galing talaga maglaro ng fate.

Our stay in Ateneo went well naman. Our relationship started there. We graduated, and we're still loving each other.

Every date namin, I always make sure na napaparamdam ko sa kanya how much I love her and how thankful I am na dumating sya sa life ko. Bea never made me feel like I am nothing lang sa buhay nya. Lahat ng pwede mong hanapin for a perfect lover, nasa kanya na.

So, I guess, I am ready na. Finally, after one week, I am going to see her again.

"Bets, alis na muna 'ko." paalam ko kay Bettina sa kabilang unit. Our units are on the same building and the same floor lang din kasi. So, every time umaalis yung isa sa amin, yung isa ang nagbabantay if pwede.

"Where are you going? Oh, wait! Yeah. Right. Friday. Fridate. Sure. Enjoy your date, Mads. Send my regards to Bei." Bettina winked.

"Yeah. Sige. Thanks, Bets." I said and umalis na.

I'll proceed to our dating place na agad. We have this certain place kasi kung saan kami always nagkikita.

Every date namin, I don't inform her na if nasaan na ba ako or what I am doing. I know kasi na she'll wait there patiently.

I arrived earlier than the usual time but she's here na. See?

"Finally." I whispered as I walk to a certain tree where she always waits.

"Hi babe! I arrived earlier than usual. Hahaha. So excited to see you again eh." I said as I sit next to her.

"So, how's your day? I know you'll gonna ask about mine. Still the same babe..."

"Still the same pain since that accident took you away from me." I said as I touch her grave.

Bea died 5 months ago. It should've been the both of us kasi dalawa naman kaming sakay ng kotse. But I don't know why I am still alive with these scars on my arm and an unending pain in my heart.

"I miss you. I love you." I whispered as I lay down on top of her grave.
