Benji and Sinag are still dancing in a sweet music while recalling the past.  Sinag deliberately avoided talking about the painful memories of their high school days because she does not want to spoil the mood.

“I waited so long for this dance.  Parang ayaw ko nang matapos” Benji whispered when he pulls her closer to him. Sunshine felt a bit of awkwardness.  She still remembers how her heart was torn apart during their prom night when Benji and Trisha started to dance as the Prom King and Queen.   

“I have to admit I had a change of heart, because I like you now more than before Sinagtala” Benji whispered again which makes Sinag beautifully smile. “I know I screwed up before but I will not let it happen again.  At this moment, I don’t care anymore if you still don’t like me.  You can curse me anytime you like.  You can beat me, hit me, I would not care.  You can doubt at me anytime.  You can hate me as much as you want.  But you cannot stop me from wanting you to be my girl Sinagtala Obispo.  Gusto ko pa ring maging boyfriend mo” he declared

“I don’t think it would be a healthy relationship if you just allow me to curse you, beat you, hit you or hate you as much as I want.  I’m in the process of letting go of the past.  I know I am healed but not completely.  I admit, I like you still Benji, but I don’t want to be in a relationship with anybody if I am not yet totally healed” Sunshine said

“Then I will wait until you are ready.  Hindi kita mamadaliin, but please allow me to show you how special you are for me.  Let me take care of you” Benji said

“Ano yun exclusively dating, but no commitment?” Sunshine asked

“Whatever you want to call it, label it or not, I don’t mind.  All I want is to take care of you” Benji said

“Don’t you think it’s so unfair on your part” Sunshine said

“I said, I don’t mind and I don’t care” Benji said

“Why are you doing this?” Sunshine asked

“Kahit paulit-ulitin mo at pabali-baligtarin ang tanong, my answer will remain the same.  I like you a lot Sinagtala.  I am willing to wait until you are ready to be in a relationship but please allow me to take care of you” Benji said

“Ok, one step at a time. Let’s see kung saan tayo dadalhin ng ‘exlusively dating’ na ‘to” Sunshine said which makes Benji beams widely.

“Thank you so much my starlight” Benji uttered

“No endearment please, walang label di ba” Sunshine said

“Alright, as you wish Ma’am Sinag, Benjamin Rosales at your service for life” Benji said

“Sira ka” Sunshine said chuckling “But thank you sir Benji, thank you kasi hindi ka nawala” Sunshine sweetly replied and they continue to enjoy the rest of the evening.

7th Floor - GabRo’s Residences

It was passing midnight when Benji and Sunshine arrived at their place.  Eyes are sparkling and hands are holding as they enter the lift going to 7th floor.

“Thank you for tonight Ma’am Sinag.  I hope you had a great time” Benji said while they walk going to their respective units

“I had a great time, thank you too for tonight, sir Benji” Sunshine replied sweetly beaming.
