Don't Go

017

What happened yesternight is like a dream come true to me. The night may be long yet it was a successful celebration of my birthday. I had never thought that it feels great to have a party like that. Most especially dahil ramdam na ramdam ko ang suporta at pagmamahal ng mga taong mahalaga sa akin.

"Oh gosh! Ang ganda ng sasakyan mo ate," wika ni Paris habang nakatakip pa ang dalawang kamay sa kanyang bibig at nakatingin sa dark blue na sasakyan.

"Do you like it, Venice?" Nakangiting baling sa akin ni daddy. Ginantihan ko naman siya ng isang ngiti rin.

"Of course, dad. Although hindi naman na kailangan. Kahit nga wala kayong regalo ay ayos lang din as long as we're together as a complete family," nakangiti ko ring wika. I know that it might sound absurd yet that is what I really feel. Material things do come and go but my family always come first to me. I love them with all my heart and I hope they feel the same way to me too.

"Ano ka ba naman, ate! Kung ayaw mo sa Chevrolet cruze mo ay akin na lang," wika ni Paris dahilan upang mapatawa naman kaming muli ni daddy.

After a while ay excited akong hinila ni Paris papasok sa sala. I tried keeping up with her long strides as we walked our way towards our destination.

"Let's open na your gifts."

Napaka-excited niya naman. Akala mo naman sa kanya.

I chuckled softly at my thought.

We decided to sat on the sofa as the gifts are on the table. Mayroon pang mga nasa sahig. I accumulated so many gifts dahil marami-rami rin naman ang dumalo kagabi. I felt so happy that they managed to attend kahit na karamihan ay hindi ko naman ka-close. Especially my blockmates na hindi ko in-expect na almost all of them are present. Karamihan nga sa kanila ay hindi ko pa ata nakausap o nagkaroon man lang ng interaction. Maybe meron din naman but it was only for a few minutes.

I started opening the gifts. Mayroong bag, sapatos, novel book, wallet, pabango at iba pa. Some screams luxury while some are the simple ones. It doesn't matter to me anyway. I appreciate every gift I received.

Now, I am looking at the box that Kit gave me. I immediately opened it and I saw a two feet statue of the Eiffel Tower. May kasama rin iyong card kaya minabuti kong basahin na iyon habang abala pa si Paris sa pag-aayos ng mga regalong nabuksan na.

Ven, happy eighteenth birthday to you. We shared many memories of us together and I will forever cherish it here in my heart. Meeting you was the most beautiful thing that happened to my life so far. If in another life I will get the chance to meet you again, I will not hesitate to grab that opportunity.

Para sa munti kong regalo sa iyo, I hope this Eiffel Tower statue that I made solely for you will make you smile especially when you're feeling down.

From the ever handsome,
Kit

Napangiti na lamang ako. His gift were the best I received so far, him spending time and effort on doing this was the sweetest. I appreciate it a lot especially that I know he doesn't have ample of time yet he still allotted for me. Hindi na ata mawawala ang ngiti sa labi ko nang dahil sa regalo ni Kit.

I opened another gifts. Until I saw Lay's name which is written on the gift card. His handwriting was so neat. Medyo naiinggit pa tuloy ako sa sulat kamay niya dahil kahit anong gawin ko ay hindi magiging kasingganda at linis ang sulat-kamay ko ng sa kanya. Hindi na ako nag-atubili at binuksan ko naman agad ito.

Kumurap ako ng mata dahil baka sakaling namamalik-mata lamang ako.

Why did he gave me this gift?
