Theodore

AINE 23

"Are you okay?" he asked for the nth time when I leaned on him. 

"Yes. I am very okay," sabi ko kahit pumipitik na naman ang sentido ko. 

"You don't look okay to me, baby," hinaplos niya ang mukha ko at tumitig sa kin. 

My Theodore is really one of a kind. He's too good to be true. He loves me on my best and loves me more on my worst. 

Ngumiti ako ng maalala kung paano ako iyak ng iyak ilang buwan lang ang nakakaraan pero heto at sobrang saya kasama ng taong mahal ko.

I stared at him, memorizing every inch of his face. Baka hindi ko na to makita. 

I sighed but continued to stare back at him. He held my hand and kissed it. I smiled. 

"I love you more and more each day," his grayish colored eyes looks so dashing and full of emotions. He looked at me lovingly I can almost feel my heart goes wild.

"I love you more than you love me. I am sure of that."

His eyes watered, "Ofcourse you do. You accepted me again in your life despite everything,"

I smiled and kissed him on his cheek. 

Sa bawat segundo naming magkasama, ilang ulit kong ninais na sabihin ang katotohanan. Na may sakit ako. Na posibleng ikamatay ko. But I chose not to. I will not ruin this almost perfect moment. I want to give Theo the happiness that he deserved.

I hugged him and rested on his chest. He sighed. "Ang lalim nun ah," I joked.

"I don't know. Feels like there's something going on. Di mo lang sinasabi,"

I froze. This guy's intuition is dangerous. Isang tingin lang niya sakin ay malalaman na niyang nagsisinguling ako. 

So I hugged him even more. He hugged me back. 

"Where do you want to live after our wedding?" he asked. I was taken aback but my heart immediately responded. 

"Hmm," I hummed. Di ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko. Kinikilig ako na hindi ko mawari. 

Damn, Theo. You make my heart flutter even more. 

"What hmm? Do you want me to move here or you're moving to my place?" his voice is so soothing I begin to feel sleepy.

"As if your place is far from mine. We're just one meter away from each other," I chuckled.

Yes, our units are physically one meter away from each other. Ni hindi niya agad sinabi sakin because he doesn't want to look so desperate daw pero agad din niyang binawi dahil sabi niya, patay na patay siya sakin. I chuckled. Hay, Theo my love.
