"If you love someone from the depths of your heart, never feel shy or frightened, because loving anyone is not a crime.. just say it when its to be said. Cause all are not lucky like this couple"

One night, doc took me out to dinner. Akala ko usual date namin, yung hang out lang tapos watch lang ng movies and stuff like that. Kaya lang this time, where going out on an actual date. As in sa labas. We haven’t done for quite some time now kaya medyo nagulat ako. And unlike before he asked me to dress formally, you know, like to wear a gown or something. Ako naman, just said yes and dressed up. He just told me to meet him up sa lobby ng isang hotel. When I got there, he was already waiting dun sa lobby.

“Kanina ka pa? Sorry if I took too long.” sabi ko sa kanya after I greeted him with a kiss on the cheek.

“No naman, you’re just in time.” sabi niya. Tapos we walked na, akala ko dun kami kakain sa restaurant ng sa hotel pero dumiretso kami sa elevator.

“Saan tayo papunta?” sabi ko na medyo nagpapanic kasi nga naman bakit kami dumiretso sa elevator instead dun sa resto.

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. Just relax okay.” sabi niya, obviously noticing na medyo nagpanic ako.

With what he said, hindi na nga ako masyado nagpanic. When we got into the elevator, he pushed the very top button. I just looked at him curiously. Ano kayang meron? Bakit kaya? Ewan ko.

When we got to top floor,i nag-open na yung door nung elevator, I just followed him. Tapos pagliko namin sa may corner, I was surprised with what I saw. It was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen.

On the rooftop, as in rooftop talaga nung hotel, there were rose petals na parang pathway leading dun sa table sa may gitna na sobrang perfect yung table setting. Tapos a waiter was standing sa tabi ng table holding the menu, tapos may band na tumutugtog nung mga sobrang mellow and romantic tunes. The ambience was so romantic. I can’t even say the right words to describe it. I was just in awe.

“Wow!” The only word I managed to say. Speechless talaga ako sobra. :")

“You like it?” sabi niya then he escorted me to one of the seats dun sa table.

I was in the verge of tears na nun. Kasi biro mo ba naman, diba? Yung ganung effort, everything around you, was all done to please you. Everything around you was all done just for you. Ka-flatter kaya yun.

Tapos nun, we started dinner na, after awhile bumalik na rin ako sa sarili ko kaya nakapagusap na kami ng matino, holding each other’s hands almost all the time. It was so sweet nga eh. Grabe! Tapos, when dessert was served na, biglang nag-iba yung atmospehere. Parang ewan ko. Tapos the band was playing a more mellow tune. Pamatay! Tapos si doc, he started to get nervous or something na whatever.
