The Accidental GIRLFRIEND

CHAPTER XVI BEST NIGHT EVER

[BEST NIGHT EVER]

SAMUEL'S POV

My surprise for her was a success!

It seemed that everything was like in the movies. Everything was perfect. It was the best date ever!

We danced and I sang all of her favorite songs. Kahit pa nga yung mga kantang pang kanto na gusto niyang pakinggan ay kinanta ko rin kasi I wanted to make her very happy.

Then, it was time for me to confess my feelings for her. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko uumpisahan o sa paanong paraan ko ba sasabihin. 

We were hugging each other while dancing ng sininyasan ko ang violinist na tumugtug ng mas sweet at romantic na melody. At tulad sa mga pelikula biglang nag-iba yung mga ilaw sa paligid... mas nagkalapit pa kami that we could almost hear each other's heart beat. Kinakabahan ako. Sana tulad din sa pelikula, may script din akong minimorize para magtapat sa kanya, pero wala eh... hindi ko alam kung ano ang tamang sabihin kaya bigla na lang akong lumuhod sa harapan niya. Nagulat siya, medyo natawa pa nga. Ang tanga ko naman kasi, bakit ko naman binigla...

'Sam, anong gagawin mo???'

Nagtaka siya... eh, bigla nga kasi akong lumuhod, hindi lang isa kundi dalawang tuhod. Hindi ko na lang pinansin kasi nga gusto kong maramdaman niya na seryoso ako.

'There's something I wanna tell you, please listen... I want to tell you na hindi ako agad na-attract sa'yo ng una kitang makita, as in, hindi talaga kita gusto at I thought hindi kita magugustuhan... you're weird, clumsy, nakakatawa...'

Hala, nagsalubong 'yung kilay niya. Bakit ba kasi 'yon ang una kung sinabi?

'Wait, let me finish... I've never met any girl like you before... you're different. You're unpredictable. I know we just met and we don't totally knew each other... but as days passed, and as I spend time with you, everything changed: my world, my life, myself, my feelings... it all changed. And kahit na wala kang maalala at hindi mo alam kung saan ka nang galing... palagay ko ... I... I... I... I love you... Please, be my girl.'

'Yun nasabi ko din!

Bakit parang natatawa siya? Baka akala niya nagjo-joke ako.I need to give her something as a sign of my sincerity. A ring! tama! bakit hindi ko naisip na bigyan siya ng singsing? I then remembered what she told me that morning about sa sinulid... so, I quickly pulled a thread sa edge ng damit niya. I know it wasn't an act of being a gentleman but I was too desperate to let her know that I was really sincere.

I grabbed her hand at itinali yung sinulid sa left ring finger niya. Nakaluhod pa rin ako.

'Please... I want to be with you, I want to be your boyfriend, I want you to be my girlfriend... my real girlfriend. Hindi ko bibitawan ang kamay mo at hindi ako tatayo dito hangga't hindi mo ako sinasagot.'

Medyo na naiiyak na siya pero medyo natatawa pa rin... 

Then, she bent to kiss me.

'Is that a 'yes'?'

She smiled at me and said:

'Eh ano pa nga ba? eh tinalian mo na ang daliri ko eh, kaya forever na din akong nakatali sayo.'

Napasigaw ako sa saya. The violinist even stopped playing kasi nagulat siya. I ran around the place and she was laughing at me. Then, gasping for my breath, I kissed her and hugged her tight.

The best night of my life, ever!
