My Fake Wedding (Nami)

....

"Magkaibang magkaiba ang  kalangitan dito sa Tokyo..." sabi nito...

"Oo nga...

"The sky must be beautiful from your home town too, right?" si Yamato

"I think it must be... Pero kung lumaki ka dun...  you don't appreciate it..." sagot ko naman.

"This sky is definitely worth the price of admission here..." sabi nito at tumingala sa kalangitan... Tinuro nya ang mga iba't ibang bituin...

"That"s ursa minor and that's ursa major.." turo nito sa akin...

"Ang dami mo namang alam... Hindi ka lang sa pagluluto magaling..." puri ko sa kanya.

"I like constellations.... Noong bata ako... Gusto ko maging astronaut.... That's how I got into physics, and I ended up becoming a physics teacher..."

"What about becoming an astronaut...?" usisa kong tanong..

"I got a cavity at nalaman kong hindi kailanman magiging astronaut pa... At dun nagtatapos ang pangarap ko.... I bawled my eyes out after that..."

"Oh......" tugon ko..

"Oo...." sagot naman niya..

"Bakit kaya hindi na lang tayo magdikit ng stars sa ating kisame pag uwi natin...?  mungkahi ko sa kanya..

"Stars?"

"Alam mo yung nakikita natin sa kid's rooms....Kapag pinatay natin ang ilaw... Makakakita tayo ng stars gabi gabi...." saad ko.

Hindi umimik si Yamato.. Tinignan lang ako.

"Oh... Was that a bad idea?" tanong ko...

"Bwahahaaaaha"  bumusaksak ng tawa si Yamato...

I find myself getting really ticked off that I worked so hard to come up with something just to have him laugh at me.

"Ang sama... Akala ko magandang idea yun... O di na lang sana ako nagsalita.... Simangot kong sabi.

"Sorry.... Sorry... I was just thinking that it takes someone really.....   Special to come up with something like that... That's all...." tatawa tawang saad nito...

"I don't care... I'll put them up in my own room!" bulyaw ko.

"Hwag kang magalit...." tumawa siya sandali... AT napalitan ito ng seryosong mukha... at sinabing...

"Man.... I was not expecting to laugh that hard..."

"And I wasn't expecting to get laughed at like that, either..!" tugon ko dito...

"Masaya ako, at ikaw ang napili ko...."seryoso pa rin ang muka nito.

"Ha..?"

"Maswerte ako't ikaw ang pekeng asawa ko..." saad nito.

Pinagmasdan niya akong mabuti...

I can't look away.... I feel as if I could drown in the deep, clear pools of his eyes..

Yamato snaps out of his reverie as I gaze back at him... Shyly, he says....

"Don't read too much into it... Ang ibig ko lang sabihin eh, walang drama sa'yo.. Yun lang..."

"Walang drama...?" tanong ko

"It's a real pain in the ass trying to impress a girl all the time...  But, with you, I can take it easy, even if we're living together..." sagot nito.
