You Were Beautiful (DAY6' YOUNGK)

nine

I wanted time to stop. Even for a moment, I want it to stop. I hate the fact that I'm leaving my family once again. Starlight is with us at NAIA this time. She's crying and my mom is already relaxed. She relaxed by the thought that Brian is waiting for me in Canada. He's waiting and he will surely take good care of me.

Kasabay ko muli bumalik ng Canada si Ate Jen. Natingnan na ang pasaporte at plane ticket namin kaya inaantay na lang namin ang oras.

Halos matulog lamang ako buong byahe. Kaagad kong namiss si Mama at Starlight ngunit nasasabik din akong makita muli si Brian. Nasanay na ako sa presence nya at ang hindi sya makasama sa loob ng tatlong linggo ay medyo mahirap para sa akin.

Matagal ang byahe pero hindi ko na namalayan pa iyon. Nagising na lamang ako sa mahinang pagtapik sa akin ni Ate Jen.

"We're already here," bungad nya.

Ate Jen are waiting for a cab outside the airport. I told Brian about our flight and our expected time of arrival but I don't expect him to just show up here.

YoungK calling...

I answered him and Ate Jen was about to hail a cab when he spoke. "I'm near the airport. Where exactly are you now?" Tanong nya. I stopped Ate Jen.

"Brian is here," I mouthed to her.

Agad naman iyong nakuha ni Ate Jen at inoffer ang pinara nyang taxi para sa kasunod na pasahero.

"How's your vacation?" Tanong sa akin ni Brian habang nasa byahe kami pauwi sa apartment ni Ate Jen. Ako ang nasa passenger seat at si Ate ang nasa backseat mukhang nakaidlip.

"It was fun! I hope you're there with me," I answered him cheerfully. I personally thought that the places I've been in the Philippines will be more breathtaking if I'm seeing it with Brian.

"Someday, I'll go to the Philippines. Will you be my tourguide then?" He asked. I nodded. I would be so glad to do so.

Saglit lamang ang naging byahe kaya agad kaming nakarating sa bahay. Dumiretso si Ate Jen sa kwarto nya at ako naman ay sa couch sa living room. Sumalampak ako ng  upo doon at pumikit. Hindi ko namalayan na mukhang napalalim ang tulog ko. Nakapikit pa din ako nang marinig ko mahinang pagkanta ni Brian.

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a, Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Naramdaman ko ang paghaplos nya sa aking mukha. He's touching me so soft as if I am a fragile glass that should be handled with care because it might break anytime. He tucked some strand of my hair behind my ear. My eyes are closed yet I can feel his stares. He then carried me bridal style and put me to bed. He covered me with my thick comforter. I feel it all.

Bahagya ding lumubog ang gilid ko at sa palagay ko ay umupo doon si Brian. Pinagpatuloy nya ang ginawang paghaplos sa buhok ko. He continued the song too.

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

He's just whispering each lines. Just enough not to wake me up. He doesn't know I'm awake. I'm enjoying every second. I love how he sings the song so soft. I can feel his emotions. Minutes later, I fell into deep slumber.

Nagising akong mag isa na lamang sa aking kwarto. I checked my phone for the time. It's already eight in the evening and there's one message from Brian.
