"WILL YOU marry me? I really want you to be my wife."

Diretsahan niyang tanong. Sincerity is visible in his eyes.

"W-what?"

Naguguluhan kong tanong. Baka kasi mali lang ako ng dinig e. Gusto ko ulit marinig mula sa kaniya ang tanong na 'yon.

"Ok. I'm already expecting this. Alam kong masyado mabilis para sa'yo 'to. I'm sorry. "

Malungkot niyang saad. I felt sorry for him. Mukhang iba ang pagkakaintindi niya sa nasabi ko.

"Why are you saying that?"

I asked.

"Huh?"

Naguguluhan niyang tanong pabalik sa'kin.

" Sinasabi ko 'to kasi alam kong nagulat ka sa tinanong ko. Ilang buwan pa lang tayong nagkakamabutihan pero niyaya na agad kitang magpakasal. I'm sorry kung nabigla ka. I just really want to marry you,Jaz. Wala akong pakialam kung masyadong maaga. I badly want you to change your surname with mine. I want you to be my wife,honey,like now."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa naturan niya.

" N-now?"

Tumango ito. Napakurap-kurap ako. Wala akong masabi-hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang dapat kong sabihin.

He's asking me to marry him! Gosh,my heart!

"Honey, to be honest, there is one thing that I am being afraid of. And that thing is to lose the chance  of being with the woman I love the most. I want to cherish every moment that we're together. I want to do all the things that a couple usually do. Like cuddling and going out to have a romantic date. And the most important thing that I want us to do is to get married and build our own family. I want to do all of these while we're still here,while we still have the chance......a-and while I can still control my own body. "

Parang may kung anong kumurot sa dibdib ko sa sinabi niya. Nanatili lang akong nakatitig sa kaniya hanggang sa mamalayan ko ang pagpunas niya ng luhang pumatak sa pisngi ko.

"From now on, things will be more complicated,honey. From now on, we have to be more cautious. Hindi natin alam kung ano ang mga susunod pang pwedeng mangyari sa'kin. Look, nasaktan kita. And I am not aware of it. I'm afraid that time will come and I will no longer recognize you as the woman that I love the most. I'm scared that it will take too long for me to be able to control my own body and remember that I am madly in love with a beautiful and amazing woman. That's why I decided to rush everything. It may sound crazy but I believe that it won't as long as it's true love."

Wala na akong ibang nagawa kundi ang yakapin siya at umiyak. Halo-halo ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Lungkot, saya at pagkabahala.

"Can you feel how scared I am?"

Tumango ako habang yakap ko pa rin siya.

"I never felt this way before. Wala akong kinatatakutan. Pero bakit ngayon,Jaz? Meron na akong isang bagay na kinatatakutan at 'yon ay ang ilayo ka ng tadhana sa'kin. But, don't worry. My love for you is much bigger than my fear. I'll do everything to control everything.We can do this together,yeah?"
