She made me believed in love again. She made me realized that there's a reason why it didn't work out with somebody else because we all are meant for someone else.
That I am giving so much love to the wrong person this whole time. That I'm supposed to receive the same amount if not more love from someone capable of doing it.
In my case it's Sabrina Marie Minatozaki.
"I'm proud of you buddy" Clyde hugged me before disappearing.
This is it. I am gonna do the thing I should've done two years ago when I finally got to hold her again. But I just thought planning things will do me good. And here I am standing at Minatozaki Residence's garden.
My friends and I set things up. From the decorations to the food. Habang si Brie ay nasa hospital for physical theraphy. She's still using the wheel chair but I don't really mind. I don't even care if I will take care of her forever. Because that's what I am planning to do.
That's why I am proposing.
I wanted to be there for her through her lowest. And I wanted to be the reason behind her smile and laugh. I just love her so much.
Syempre kasabwat ko ang lolo at parents n'ya with this. I've asked their approval two days prior and I'm glad they gave me their blessings and welcomed me to the family already.
Sagot nalang ni Brie ang kulang.
I heard the gate opened. I shake off the imaginary dust on my clothes as I waited nervously. I hope I don't fuck this up.
I heard my phone rang but I ignored. She doesn't know I am here. Ang sabi ko sa kanya kanina ay may meeting ako which is obviously a lie.
I heard her call Aya for assistance para dalhin s'ya dito. Alright this is it.
"Bakit ang dilim? Where are the lights I told the maids to put?" reklamo n'ya.
"Badtrip ka ba kasi madilim o dahil kanina ka pa hindi pinapansin ni Aden?" natatawang sabi ni Aya.
"Ewan ko sa'yo tawagin mo nalang si Manang at ipabukas ang mga ilaw" and that's our cue. Kasabwat din namin si Aya.
She's in-charge for the lights na kanina pa hinihiling ni Brie. Totoo rin na kanina ko pa ini-ignore iyong mga text at tawag n'ya. It was all part of the plan.
When the lights turn on. I played the keyboards. I played our favorite song and tried my best to sing it.
Statue.
I smiled at her at the last note. I slowly walk at her.
"Hi" I greeted and she looks like she's about to cry.
"Akala mo ba makukuha mo ako sa pagkanta at pagiging music prodigy mo Aden Divina?! Why aren't you answering my texts?" she fired.
I chuckled bago kinuha ang kamay n'ya at binigay iyong hawak kong mga bulaklak. Tsaka ko s'ya binuhat papunta sa gitna ng garden. Mabuti nalang at hindi s'ya umangal.
I put her down sa matt na prinepare namin. She then noticed the decorations. Then she looked at me as I kneeled down in front of her.
"Yes I recreated our first ever date" I told her. That day I knew I was gonna give her the love I was giving to the wrong one. That day I knew she's the one. "This is the reason why I didn't text back and answered your calls, I'm sorry love" I leaned in and kiss her forehead.
"Okay reason and apology accepted" she beamed.
Well this is it. I'm gonna throw the question and I hope she said yes after my not so well prepared speech.
I got a piece of paper in my pocket.
She looked at it with one brow raised.
"Aden..." she coos.
"Shhh ako muna Brie" I winked at her. She giggles. God I want to see that everyday.
I breathed a bit deep before reading my proposal letter.
"Love,hi, malamang nagtataka ka kung bakit may binabasa ako ngayon. Well kilala mo naman ako I buckled at stressful times and I can't buckle right now. Not in front of the most amazing person I met. Yes you,ikaw lang naman ang kaharap ko ngayon diba? Anyway. Nandito ako ngayon nakaluhod sa harap mo para magdeklara kung gaano kita kamahal. The first time we met you're nothing but a mere stranger but for some reason you successfuly occupied my mind. The next time I saw you was at a meeting. And you're seriously so attractive that time that all I can do is gawk at you. At alam kong alam mo yan because you kept on teasing me with crush mo ako no? questions that I always dodge with amfee ka" she chuckled at the memory so was I.
"Anyway" I continued "the next years had gone so fast. We were happy then one accident took away everything from us" I paused para huminga ng malalim because I feel like my eyes will betray me any minute now and as I looked at her she's now crying but her smile never fail "But then after five years of agony and loneliness we met again. As if the universe wanted it. And then here we are"
I set aside the paper.
"Sabrina Marie Minatozaki" I held both her hands and kiss the back of it. Befor letting go as I slid out the velvet box from my other pocket "Will you give me the right to call you my wife officially?" I opened the box looking at my favorite pair of brown orbs.
"I love you Aden Divina Kim" she pulled me into a kiss. I smiled in between before pulling away.
"So is that a-" she cut me off.
"Of course it's a yes, it will always be yes. Yes yes yes"
"I fucking love you Mrs. Kim" I slid the ring on her finger and gave her my sweetest kiss.
