A Fangirl in Love

The Right Thing

 "Sometimes, the right thing doesn't seem right at first glance." - Anonymous

I could feel the cold breeze as soon as we reached Tagaytay. That’s the first place we wanted to go to. Yun din kasi ang pinakamalapit sa South. 

We wanted to spend time together. Build memories of us together. 

Plano naming mag-bungee jumping sa Sky Ranch. Hindi ko pa kasi nasusubukan yon. We also hadnn’t gone to Sky Ranch yet, together or with friends. Kaya I was thinking na siguro nga mas masaya kung magkasama kaming gagawin yun. Not to mention, mas memorable.

Madami kaming plano. Gusto naming mag-horseback riding, biking; or simpler things such as lying on the grass; just playing around.

 

But the weather didn’t cooperate.

 

Since we couldn’t do anything, nagdecide na lang kami to have lunch sa Gerry’s overlooking Taal Volcano. We could take pictures. Romantic yun. That's what I thought. Pero puno ng fog ang area kaya hindi din kami nagka-chance na makita ang volcano.

 

Malas. Pakiramdam ko pati weather kontra sa aming dalawa.

 

 

When we got home, he cooked dinner for the two of us. Isang legit na Italian cuisine, complete with red wine and lit candles not only on the table; there's some on the floor too.

Nag DVD marathon naman kami, after dinner. Cuddling. Kissing. Making out. Laughing. The night made up for what the morning ruined.

And just right before dozing off habang yakap niya ako, we talked about the things we wanted to do the following day.

It was perfect, but it also felt like we were running out of time. It was as if someone was going to take him away from me; or me away from him. 

 

“Anong iniisip mo?” Mica asked. He just basically pulled me out my dream land.

“Huh? Wala.”

Dream na nga lang di ba? Ako na ang dapat masunud sa day dreams ko. Pero bakit utak ko mismo ang kumukontra? Bakit hanggang don may mga malalaking hadlang?

“Ang tagal mong nawala. You were spacing out.” 

We’re on Skype. AGAIN. Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses na kami nagusap mula nung Sabado. Basta ang alam ko, this is the second time for today. (The first one was this morning when he called me while I was driving to work.)

“So what were you thinking?” Tanong niya ulit.

Madami na kaming napagusapan mula nong Saturday - about work; how Hannah missed Berna and Tita Pearl; about ashboo (Sometimes, I would think he was really interested.) But we hadn't talked about our feelings ever since we started communicating again. Well, at least not in the most expressive way, like saying ‘I love you’.
