"Kaya nga, dito lang ako... para ka date ko nga ang babaeng gusto ko."

"A-anong pinagsasabi mo?" Nabingi ata ako o di kaya nabobo ng slight.

Tumayo na sya at naglakad sa gilid ko. Inilahad nya ang kamay nya. Ano ba ang ginagawa nya?

Dahil tiningnan ko lang sya, kusa nyang kinuha ang kamay ko at pinatayo ako.

"Cal... anong ginagawa mo?"

Tumugtog naman ang isang slow music at kasabay nuon ay isang narration. Spoken word poetry.

"Listen" Sabi nya habang hindi inaalis ang titig nya sa akin.

To the person that had my heart jolt faster than it used to
Like trying to win a race against the butterflies in my stomach
And with every match, only you are crowned victorious

For a small beautiful creature,
You managed to invade a whole lot of my system
I pray with every waking time
To have your hand finally intertwined with mine

To the person who consider fairytale as some sick narration,
Tonight, you are the princess
May I have the honor to be your prince?
Dance until midnight strikes on us
And I promise to run with you

Let us not read the last page
Carefully not ending the story we made
Because I don't promise a happy ever after
But a love throughout when times get tougher.

Tinitigan nya lang ako.

Nais kong maniwala na puno ng pag-ibig ang mga titig nya pero si Maxine ang gusto nya. Matagal na akong tulay nilang dalawa... hindi ba?

"Thank you, Kaela."
