Donny
"Love? Anong sinasabi mong graduation/birthday gift? Eh diba nga may necklace kanang binigay sakin the other week? Ano na naman ba to?" makulit ulit na tanong sa akin ni Kisses. She is always like this, everytime I tell her that I have something for her, she rants me with speeches ne kesyo hindi ko na kailangan mag effort kase ganito and all. Pero syempre para sa akin, dapat nag eeffort parin diba? Ayoko naman pa kampante na kase kami na so hanggang dun nalang yun.
"Love, wag ka ngang madaming sinasabi. I'm sure naman you'll love this."sabi ko sa kanya while still driving, "Tsaka, alam to ni Tito, promise. Kahit sila Mommy at Daddy alam din to."
"Bahala ka."sabi niyang ganun and crossed her arms, "Alam mo namang okay na ako sa mga fishball dates natin diba."dugtong niyang sabi, I rolled my eyes at her and still can't keep the excitement in me
Kisses and I graduated middle school just a month ago. We have also already celebrated our first year anniversary as a couple. Along with the celebration are the fights that we won over the past couple of months. Syempre, sabi nga ni Maroon 5 diba, it's not always rainbows and butterflies but it's compromise. Hindi naman kami yung napaka perfect na couple na hindi talaga nag aaway. Kisses has her moments most especially when it's her time of the month, I do have my own tantrums. But we always make it a point to talk about it and not make it a major fight.
At ngayon na we are officially welcoming adulthood, at sure naman akong magiging busy talaga kami sa college, I am making sure that we have enough memories to cherish in case of trouble. So that we can always look back to the happy moments whenever we are on the darker side.
"Are you ready love?" tanong ko sa kanya nung nakapagpark na kami ng kotse
"Hmmm. Nasa Pampanga tayo love? Wait, ang alam ko...." Parang nag isip muna siya kung ano yung susunod na sasabihin,
"Opppps! Wag ka muna magsalita! Let's walk fast so you will see!"sabi ko sa kanya and held her hand, we were almost running papunta sa Freeport Zone ng Clark, habang tumatakbo na nga kami, nakikita na niya kung san kami papunta mismo and she can't help but scream her heart out,
"OH MY GOSH LOVE! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!" she shouts, hindi ko naman mapigilang matawa sa kanya, "IS THIS WHAT I THINK IT IS?! LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRABE KAAAAAAAAA!" hindi parin makapaniwalang sabi ni Kisses sa akin while she puts her hands on her mouth, like she just won a crown, I was just nodding at her
"LOVE!" sigaw niya ulit at tumingin sa akin, "IT'S A HOT AIR BALLOON!!!!"sabay turo niya
"Yes love," sagot ko sa kanya and held her shoulder, "AND NOT JUST THAT!" excited kong sabi
"GRABE KA LOVE! IKAW NA!" sagot niya ulit
"We, you and I," dahan dahan kong sabi sa kanya, "Are riding that giant balloon!" sabay turo ko dun sa balloon na nasa tapat lang namin, sinenyasan kami ng incharge na pwede na kaming sumakay doon.
"WHAT? THIS IS CRAZY!!!!" sabi niya at halos hindi na gumalaw sa kinatatayuan niya kaya hinawakan ko na siya at sabay kaming pumasok sa loob
I don't think I have ever seen her this excited, giddy and happy.
"I'm happy that you are happy, my love." Sabi ko sa kanya when she already mellowed her excitement at nakatingin nalang siya sa baba when we were already flying
"I am love. Kahit walang hot air balloon, I am always happy with you." Sabi niya and hugged me
"Happy anniversary, Love." Sabi ko sa kanya, she smiled at me sweetly
"Corny mo love, ano to? Year long celebration?"natatawa niyang sabi sa akin
"Nope. Lifelong." Tumango naman siya
"Lifelong, I like that."
Kisses
"O, anong iniisip mo dyan?" tanong sa akin ni Donny nung nakaupo na kami at tanaw nalang yung mga giant balloons na nasa ere
"Pano tayo napunta dito, Love?" tanong ko sa kanya, he let out a laugh
"Dad." It was actually his plan for mom. "Mom can't make it so inavail ko yung offer niya." Sagot niya naman sa akin
"ahhh. Kay tito pala ako dapat magpasalamat. Hahahaha. But, I meant that question differently, Nonnyyyy." Pa cute kong sabi sa kanya
"What do you mean, paano napunta? Syempre, nag kotse!" biro niya sa akin
"Love naman eh!"
"Hahaha, cute mo talaga magalit love." Sabi niya at kinurot yung pisngi ko, "Pero, kidding aside, pano ng aba tayo napunta dito? I think, it was destiny."
"Wow! Naniniwala ka talaga sa destiny, Nonny?"
"Syempre naman! Ikaw ba hindi?"
"Hmmm. Hindi ko naman naiisip yang mga ganyan. Baka, siguro. Ewan." Natawa naman siya sa sagot ko
"Ako love, I always believe na if it's meant to happen, the universe will find a way that it will happen. And that's destiny. It's like a combination of sinadya at nagkataon." sabi niya sa akin
"So, that's why we happened?" tanong ko sa kanya
"Exactly. You are meant to happen in my life. Same way or not, we are bound to happen."
"Naks!"
"O diba, wala kang masabi?" asar niya sa akin
"Wala lang. galing lang diba? Who would ever thought na tayo pala?"
"Yup." Sagot niya at kinuha yung kamay ko, "And please love, promise me one thing," sabi niyang ganun, "That we will be the kind of couple na mag aaway pero hindi maghihiwalay." It melted my heart
"I promise."
Ilang minuto din kaming natahimik, hanggang sa nag aya na din kaming umuwi. Habang nasa byahe pauwi, we were talking about random stuffs until we realized that we like this kind of date.
"Love, dapat kahit na sobrang busy na natin in college, we should find time for each other ah." Sabi ko sa kanya
"Kisses naman, kahit hindi mo sabihin yan, I will always find time for you."
"And promise that we will always understand each other, no matter what."
"Yes love. Syempre, we should always look forward for our future together."
"Ayie ayie, captain!"
"I love you!"
"Awwwwww. Love naman kinikilig ako!"
Haaay. I have always thought that love is beautiful. But I never thought, it's THIS beautiful. Hindi parin ako sanay sa butterflies in my stomach hanggang ngayon. Nahihiya parin ako pag nagiging cheezy si Donny sa akin sa harap ng ibang tao. Kinikilig parin ako pag tinatawagan niya ako at sinasabing nasa baba na siya at hinihintay niya na ako. I guess I will never get used to this. Being in love. Because i wanted to feel this over and over again. With the same person who made me feel like this.
And on the next days, for sure, will be more scary because it's a bigger world for us. And nothing makes it more excited because we are doing it together.
