Ford's POV
When I wake up, agad na naalala ko ang nangyari kagabi. That kiss, and all of what we did last night is like... a reassemblance of what we already did one year ago. She is the one that I've been looking for. It is her.
Nadako ang aking mga mata kay Lorice. She's sleeping.
Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya. After what we did, hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip. Why? Why I didn't remember her? I've been looking for that girl, for almost one fucking year!
Hindi ko man lang napansin na nasa tabi ko lang pala siya! She's my assistant, my fake girlfriend.
Lumapit ako kay Lorice. I look at her beautiful face. And then all the memories of what we did a year ago were flashing back in my brain, again and again. Siya nga yon, no. Siya nga yon! The girl that I had that night.
I hugged her, and kissed on her forehead. Dahilan para magising siya.
"Ford..."
Hanggang ngayon ay nakayakap pa rin ako sa kanya. I don't want her to leave me, kung gagawin man niya yon.
"I'm sorry for what I did last night. But I'm thankful for it. Because I already found you."
Imbis na pagtataka ay luha ang nakita ko sa mga mata niya.
"Alam mo na? Na ako ang babaeng yon?" I nod when I heard her question.
"Why didn't you tell me? Na ikaw pala yon? I've been looking for you after that night, pero hindi na kita nakita."
"Baka hindi mo ako paniwalaan. Kaya pinili ko na lang na manahimik."
"Sorry. Sorry for not noticing that it is you."
I kissed her. I'm still hugging her, and glad she didn't stay herself away from me.Nanatili lang kami sa ganitong posisyon. I'm hugging her while nakahiga kaming dalawa, naked, unclothed. I want us to stay like this for more time. Ngayon ko lang nakita ang babaeng nagparamdam ng ganito sa akin.
I'm so happy for finding this girl. Habang tumatagal, I can feel my heart beat. It's fast. Honestly, after that night, I fell in love with that girl and it lasted for one year. Kaya pala iba ang pakiramdam ko kay Lorice nang ang apply siya bilang P. A. ko.
Even looking on her picture makes me feel what I feel nang magkasama kami. Only bad that I forgot what she looks like. But the touch, and even the kiss were the same.
I even doubted that maybe she is that girl pero nawawala ang mga iyon dahil naiirita at naiinis ako minsan sa kanya. But now, all I feel is happiness, happiness, and too much happiness.
And then I remember what I have decided to do if I found her. It is to marry her. That's my decision and I'll do it now.
I kissed her once again. "Marry me, Lorice."
"A-ano?" Kita ang pagkagulat sa mga mata niya.
"Marry me."
"Ang bilis naman yata. Ford, Sigurado ka ba--"
"I'm sure. After what happened on us a year ago, I promise to myself that I will find you and marry you. And now, I do." I hold her hand. "You make me crazy for leaving me alone that time. Kaya ngayon, hindi na kita pakakawalan."
I looked at her eyes. And I dont know if what will she say.
"Ford, hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko." kumalas siya sa pagkakayakap ko sa kanya at binalot ang kanyang sarili ng kumot. "Magkaiba kasi tayo. Napakayaman mo, ako mahirap lang. Sikat kang tao, ako? Wala lang. Hindi tayo magkatulad ng dinadaanan."
