Bakit ba kasi nagkakaganto ako. Affected ba ako? Hello may 2 years din yung pinagsamahan namin. Pero 2 years na yun eh. Hindi na sana ako affected pa. Hindi na eh. Promise. Ewan ko maybe because I just don’t want to see him. The guy whom I loved dearly. My first boyfriend. My first love.

I moved on but there’s still something. Something I can't explain. Ganun ba talaga yun? Ang love ang hirap iexplain. 

Maybe love is a not a noun to define it but a verb to show it.

Pero pano pag kahit anong gawin mo, bumabalik at bumabalik ka pa din sa kanya? Tama pa ba yun? Or dapat i let go mo na talaga?

*Flashbackkkkkk*

“Alexxxx!” Uy ang magaling kong bestfriend nagpaparamdam.

“Hoy bat ka andito Keith?!” Tanong ko naman

“Wala naman. Lika bili libre kita!”

Ano naman kaya ang masamang hangin na nalanghap nitong bestfriend ko at ililibre ako? “O sige! Minsan lang to. Di ko pwede palagpasin!”

At sumakay kami sa kotse niya. Infairness, bagong linis. Wow. Andun pa din yung picture na nilagay ko last 2 years. The best talaga tong bestfriend ko oh!

“Saan ba tayo pupunta?”

“Basta chill ka lang dyan!!!”

At after an hour dumating na kami sa place. Puro candles plus ang ganda ng view since malapit na mag sunset

“Ano ito?”

“Basta bumaba ka nalang”

Bumaba na ako at wow ha, hindi man lang bumaba bestfriend ko. Pagkatingin ko, nasa tahimik na lugar kami, tanawa yung sunset. Tapos biglang may lalaking lumabas. Si Thomas.

“Pare Thank you!” sabi ni Thomas

At may sabwatang naganap pala dito

“Kahit ano pare! Iuwi mo yan ng maayos ha. Pag may nangyari dyan, humanda ka sakin.” sabay busina.

I have the sweetest bestfriend. :) Pagkaalis ni Keith, biglang hinawakan ni Thomas yung kamay ko. Then our fingers intertwined. 

“Thomas, ano to?” tanong ko.

“I just wanted to make you feel how special you are to me, Alex.” Sabay tugtog ang kantang grow old with you at lalong hinigpitan niya yung hawak niya sa kamay ko.

Gusto kong umiyak sa kilig.

“T-Tho-Thomas.” Nauutal pa ako.

Bigla niyang binitawan ang kamay ko then nilagay niya sa may heart niya.

“It’s been a year. Please Alex. Just give me a chance. I’ll prove you how much you mean to me. Please take the risk with me. I promise you, this ain’t gonna be an easy ride, but I assure you that as long as we love each other, walang makakapaghiwalay sa atin. Mahal na mahal kita. So…..”

Biglang may mga lumabas. May 4 lalaking lumabas. Nakasuot ng plackards

Will

You

Be

My

At ang pinakahuli, si Thomas na may plackard na

Girlfriend?

Natameme ako, hindi ko alam sasabihin ko. Lumuhod siya sa harap ko then naglabas ng box, there he showed me an infinite necklace. he asked me if he can personally put the necklace, tumango ako then I said.“Thomas, it’s perfect. Really”

“What does that mean? Thomas asked.

"Pwede mo ba akong tanungin ulit?" I smiled 

"Kahit araw-araw pa...Alex, I wanted to be with you every minute of every day. Will you please be my girlfriend?"

With tears on my eyes, I shouted “Yes! Thomas yes! I love you”

Bigla siyang lumapit sa akin, inakap ako ng mahigpit at binulong sa akin “I love you so much. I love you so much baby. I really do.”

Thomas POV

This is the day. August 16. Tatanungin ko na siya. It’s been a year since niligawan ko siya. Hindi naman sa nagmamadali ako pero gusto ko lang magkaron ng next level relationship namin.

Kinausap ko si Keith, yung bestfriend niya para humingi ng favour. Tinext ko sakanya address nung place. I wanted everything to be perfect. Perfect place, perfect time, perfect stuffs, perfect girl, perfect relationship.

6:00 ang usapan. It’s now 5:50. Shit, kinakabahan ako. Pano ko sasabihin? Paano pag nautal ako. Wag naman sana. I waited for this.

May naringi akong kotse. Eto na sila, kinuha ko na ang bouquet of roses. White tas isang magandang  blue. Favourite niya yun eh.

Narinig ko na boses niya.

“Ano ito.” Sabi ni Alex

Nagmadali ako to meet up with them.

Of course I said thank you to her best friend. Gusto naman niya ako for Alex that’s why he helps me with these stuffs.

Ang ganda ni Alex. No words can describe how gorgeous she is. Nakasuot lang siya ng jeans plus simple shirt pero she really really looks elegant. Kinuha ko yung kamay niya and hinigpitan ko yung hawak ko. Ang lambot ng kamay ng future girlfriend ko. :-) And I can't wait to be his boyfriend. Hindi ko na naintindihan ang sinabi niya pero hinawakan ko na lang kamay niya at nilagay sa puso ko. Etoooo naaaa. Sasabihin ko na sa kanya.

“It’s been a year. Please Alex. Just give me a chance. I’ll prove you how much you mean to me. Please take the risk with me. I promise you, this ain’t gonna be an easy ride, but I assure you that as long as we love each other, walang makakapaghiwalay sa atin. Mahal na mahal kita. So…..”

Bigla ng pumasok mga teammates ko at suot ang mga pinintahan kong illustration boards with the words

Will

You

Be

My

At syempre sinuot ko din ang akin

Girlfriend.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang iniisip niya. Na we-weirduhan ba siya, creeped out? Shet kinakabahan ako. Hindi siya nagsasalita!!

Lumuhod ako sa harap niya at nilabas yung necklace na pinagawa ko. It's an infinity necklace with my name and with her name. I asked if I can put the necklace and she nodded.

Then finally…

“Thomas, it’s perfect. Really”

Ano ibig sabihin niya dun? Can I take that as a yes?

“What does that mean?” Kinakabahan ako. Please say yes, please please please.

"Pwede mo ba akong tanungin ulit?" she smiled 

Ano ba. Natutunaw ako sa mga ganyang ngiti eh. Kung alam mo lang Alex. )

"Kahit araw-araw pa...Alex, I wanted to be with you every minute of every day. Will you please be my girlfriend?"

“Yes! Thomas yes! I love you” she finally said it :">

Hindi ko napigilang maluha. The girl I love so much just gave her trust to me.

Bigla ko siyang nilapitan, niyakap at bumulong ““I love you so much. I love you so much baby. I really do.”

Mahal na mahal ko si Alex. Mahal na mahal ko siya.
