Me & You: Between Life And Death (COMPLETE)

Chapter 21

Mahaba ang biyahe dahil out of town ang farm na ito. Almost an hour bago kami nakarating...

"Love..." I woke her up. She opened her eyes at tinignan ang madilim na na labas. "We're here. But you're not allowed to open your eyes until I say so, okay?" She nodded. Lumabas ako ng kotse to open the door for her. I assisted her gently.

I put her a blindfold and guided her under the tree kung nasaan ang set up namin. Nilagyan namin ng napakaraming lights na ibat-ibang kulay sa paligid. Ito ang magsisilbing ilaw namin sa buong gabi. May naka-set up din na white screen, speaker at carpet with pillows. Sa side nun ay may lamesa at gitara.

I took her blindfold off.

"Now, open your eyes."

She opened her eyes and started to gasp in awe of this wonderful place. She gathered every details of the place with amusement in her eyes.

"You made all of this?" She asked while getting her eyes teary in happiness.

"No... my boys helped me out," nakangiti kong sabi sa kanya.

"Your boys?" she chuckled.

"I mean... Conor, Nathan and Nikko, my boys," pagpapaliwanag ko.

"Nandito sila?" she asked.

"Yes, right there," sabay turo ko sa pick up car ni Conor na medyo kalayuan, nandun sila nakatambay at pinapanuod kami. Akala ko tumingin rin siya doon ngunit nang ibinalik ko ang tingin ko sa kanya... she was looking closely to me despite the one meter distance between us.

Nagsimula nang tumugtog ang instrumental na piano na ako mismo ang nag-record. But her eyes still locked on me, as mine's still on her.

She slowly stepped moving closer to me until we're one inches apart. She placed her hands on my shoulder and locked it at the back of my nape as I also rest my hands to her waist. She stared at me, smiling.

Yumuko ako para maabot ang tenga niya saka bumulong, "I made that for you..."

She stared at me again while listening to it. She's smiling and it makes my heart beat faster than usual, incredible. I smiled and still couldn't take off my eyes of her... its captivating my heart and my soul.

Nagsimula na ring mag play ang video sa white screen. I held her waist and pulled her closed to me. She tilted the side of her head to my chest while watching the presentation that I'd prepared for her.

In the video is our pictures together. Some of it were her candid, stolen photos that I captured. She always oblivious that my eyes were always gazing at her, trying to memorize every detail of her face as if it is my last.

May time na nasa Coron kami at pagod na siya mag-hiking...

"Love, hindi ko na kaya," pagrereklamo niya habang naka-upo na sa isang malaking bato at pinupunasan ang pawis nito.

"Yes, you can, come on," I said cheering her up. I extended my hand to her to help her stand up. She gently placed her hand on it and started to walk again.

Meron pa nang nasa beach kami. She wanted me to take her a good shot with her bikini...

I am just laughing that time because all those time na nagpo-pose siya, she didn't know that I was filming her.

And sa last part ng video ay nakatalikod siya facing the sea while her hair being blew by the wind.

She looked back at me. She waved her hands and gave me the most wonderful smile I could ever see in this lifetime. She didn't know that I was filming her that time.
