Change and Chances

Chapter 5 - Approve

It was already eight in the evening and it was still raining hard. Wala ding signal dito sa kweba that's why I couldn't contact my family. For sure, they're already panicking because I wasn't home yet.

"C-can you take me home?" I queried.

"Masyadong malakas ang ulan at ang hangin. Baka madisgrasya tayo." Aramis replied.

I fell silent.

"Wag kang mag-alala, kapag tumila na ang ulan iuuwi kita agad sa inyo." he ensured and I just nodded tapos natahimik na ulit kami.

Few moments passed and I started to get bored. Aramis was quiet and I didn't know what to say either. So, what I did, tumabi ako kay Aramis making him a little surprised when I did.

"Let's take a pic." I then said to him.

Sasagot pa sana sya pero agad kong sinabing, "Smile!" and click.

Nang i-preview ko ito, I ended up laughing really hard. I had a big smile on the shot while Aramis' forehead is creased.

"Burahin mo yan." He told me.

"I don't wanna." I replied as I laughed again. "You need to smile or else the next shot would be pretty much like this. And later on, wacky naman, okay?" I told him.

He couldn't help but smile and shake his head on me.

Sunod-sunod ang pagkuha ko ng picture namin.

Every time that I would smile, he would smile as well. Kapag naka-wacky ako, naka-wacky din sya. Kapag straight face or naka-pout naman ganun din ang gagawin nya. Sa sobrang dami naming pictures, pwede na kong gumawa ng collage.

"Tama na. Ang sakit na ng buong mukha ko." He then complained making me chuckle.

"Baliw. One more." I insisted but, he refused. "Please, Aramis? Last one, I swear." I said and he heaved out a sigh.

"Oo na. Sige na." he said giving up and I just grinned at him.

Nagulat nalang ako dahil bigla syang pumunta sa likod ko tapos mula roon ay bigla nya kong niyakap. His chin rested on my shoulders almost making my face flush.

"What are you doing?" I questioned.

"Basta kuhaan mo nalang." he said and it made one of my brows shot up.

I decided to let it go just like he ordered. I then just smiled at the camera and took a pic. At saktong pag flash nya, Aramis kissed me on my left cheek.

When I previewed the picture, I was really surprised.

That last photo looked sweet and beautiful. We looked like a very happy couple. I felt my face heating up at that thought.

Then, he suddenly grabbed my phone. May kung ano syang ginawa doon at ng ibalik nya na ulit iyon sakin, I saw that he changed my wallpaper and it was the last photo we took.

"Tama nga sila. Bagay tayo." he said smilingly. Before I could even answer that, the rain stopped.

He then stood up and held out his hand on me. "Ayan na, huminto na ang ulan. Tara, ihahatid na kita sa inyo. Alam kong nag-aalala na ang pamilya mo."
