Happier(Oneshot)

-;

I have a girlfriend. We've been together for 6 years now. Away-bati. Pero kahit ganon, we still choose each other over and over again.

"I love you. I'll fetch you later after your class okay?" I said to her.

She nodded like a kitten.

"Yup. Ikaw? May lakad ka?"

"May meeting akong pupuntahan. It's for the purchase of the bar. Sa renovation and construction."

She nodded again.

"Okay! I love you."

We bid our goodbyes to each other. Kiss and hug.

I went on with the meeting I have to attend.

Isang balingkinitang babae na ka-meeting ko ang kasama sa table.

Even though she is real attractive, I now I'm committed.

We just talked professionally about the renovation of my bar.

"So the design is settled, Mr. Sarmiento."

"Yes. Thank you."

We shook our hands as sign that our meeting is to be adjourned.

After the meeting I went home. Rest a bit. Mamayang gabi pa naman ang uwian ng girlfriend ko.

April. That's her name. 6 years of relationship with her meant so much for me. It was like my whole life depends on her. I don't know.

The long period of time being in a relationship with her taught me so much about life. I remember before: nag away kami nang dahil sa third party. It tested our relationship. Trust and honesty. Loyalty and faithfulness.

Alam ko sa sarili kong hindi ako kailan man nagkulang. I always make her feel special. Above all, I respect her. She didn't make me feel upset and insecure for years too. She has her own way of saying how she loves me. She always makes me understand each circumstances when she feels like it would affect me. Never siyang nagkulang. Never kaming nagkulang para sa isa't-isa.

That's the secret of our relationship, maybe. Understanding. We assure and guarantee safety and security to each other.

"Hi." She hugged me tight.

Naka uniform pa siya. She looked so adorable wearing it. Naka polo shirt na blue ako at black pedal shorts.

"So, how was it?" She asked referring to the meeting I had earlier.

I was driving. Heading to my bar.

"Fine. Maganda ang design. I think you should check it too. Baka may idadagdag ka."

She looked at me. Mockery is evident on her hazel eyes.

"Ang design ang maganda o ang nag design?" She eyed me.

Crazy cutie.

"Syempre ang design. I'm a good boy, baby."

We laughed together with that. Ang saya lang isipin, after all the challenges we are still together. We are still at it. We are still in love.

"Pero mas maganda ka." I remarked.

"Bolero!" We laughed, "Dong, I trust you," she watched my expression, seriously.

"And I love you."

She smiled genuinely.

We spent the night at the bar. Since wala namang klase bukas si April.

"Ohhhh! The Donny Sarmiento and April Castillo in the house!!" Sigaw ng DJ ng gabing yon.

Everyone chanted for us. For 6 years of relationship, this circle of friends has been the witness of our love.
