Dylan

Im fucking nervous my hands are sweating like shit. Damn.

“you ready, bro?” sabi ni Scott.

Am I ready? Yes dammit. Im goddamn ready. But im still nervous.

“lets do this shit.” Sabi ko kay Scott.

I know you’re wondering kun nasan ako ngayon. Actually, it’s out college graduation.

and im not nervous dahil sa graduation. Im nervous because im asking Talwyn to marry me.

Not that mag a-answer siya ng No. I’ll fucking kill her if she would. Naaah. Im pretty confident that she’ll say yes.

Nang lumabas kami car ni Scott and pumunta kami pabalik kung saan naka upo ang lahat ng graduates, nakita ko ang parents namin magkasama while dad filming the whole thing.

Alam niya ba? Yes. That’s why he’s filming the whole thing. When I told him that im going to propose to Talwyn today, he said “guess you were right all along.” And then na remember ko yung sinabi ko sa kanya ng nasa carnival kami ni Talwyn, nang tumakbo siya papunta sa Daddy niya dahil may cotton candy siyang dala, remember ko pa ang exact words na sinabi ko sa kanya, “I will marry her someday, dad.”  Guess this someday is right now.

While Talwyn is giving her speech as a cum laude, lumakad ako papunta sa side ng stage.

Hindi niya pa ako nakita. Thank fuck for that.

“A few years from now, some of us would be getting married, working………..”

Funny that she said the word married. Because I will ask her hand and we will be goddamn married but not a few years from now.

Nakita ko ang mga weird looks ng mga audience nang nakita nila ako sa stage.

“So graduates, enjoy the moment and—“ napatigil si Talwyn nung nakita niya ako sa center ng stage.

Natahimik ang lahat when Scott handed me the microphone.

“Holy shit!!!” rinig ko sabi sa audience and nakita ko ang barkada namin with their mouth hanging open and umiiyak si Paige and Bianca. Pffffft. Girls

“Dylan?” sabi sakin with her confussed looks. Cute.

My palms are fucking sweating and ang ring na nasa bulsa ko parang bumigat.

Kinuha ko hands ni Talwyn and I kissed her softly sa lips. “do you trust me?”

“dylan..what’s…what’s happening?” sabi ni Talwyn. shit.

Okay here we go. Nilapit ko ang microphone sa mouth ko and then I said,

“I love you, Tal. I really do. I know that I get in your very last nerve and im a fucking pain in the ass. But you still love me. You accept me. Who I really am. You make me whole. You understand me, like no one else does.  I want you to fall asleep in my arms every night. I want to wake up every day, every morning, staring at your beautiful face. I want to spend my whole life with you. I can’t give you everything, but I will try. I’ll try hard for you.” I get down to one knee, kissed her left hand and said, “I wont be whole without my other half. Will you marry me?”

The audience is clapping their hands and ang mga friends namin na nakilala dito sa university sumisigaw nang “Push mo pa!!!!!” “Yes na yan!!!!!”

Umiiyak si Talwyn and then she said, “yes. YES!!!!!!” nilagay ko ang ring sa kamay niya then I kissed her.

When we pulled away, I said. “guess it’s not a bad thing to fall in love with me after all, huh?”

Tumawa lang siya and then she said, “no it’s not. I love you. I love you so much.”

“I love you too.” And I will. Forever.
