Mystify Love

Chapter 12

FINALLY

"Surprise… habibti." Weston greeted, he was smiling from ear to ear while looking intently at me. "We've finally met, my love." 

 I blinked many times to make sure that I am not dreaming, that my eyes are not playing with me. I even slapped my cheeks to see if he's really in front of me and I'm not just imagining things.

I faced my friends and they were smiling like Weston. Their eyes and lips say it all, 

"Finally, you've met the guy that you love, you're with him now, Yusra" 

That's what I can read through their eyes.

"Is this really Weston? Nasa harapan ko ba talaga siya? I am not imagining things?" Sunod-sunod na tanong ko sa kanila.

Kailangan ko nang kasagutan mula sa mga kaibigan ko dahil ayaw kong umasa na isa lamang itong magandang panaginip. 

They all nodded, some of them gave me thumbs up while the smile on their faces did not fade away. 

I looked at Weston, my hands trembled as I slowly reached his face. I started to caress his face, he has soft and smooth skin. 

And I almost jumped in shock when his hand met mine, Weston intertwined our fingers. Weston kisses my metacarpal, I felt the softness of his lips. 

"You're really here… You're here, finally…" Bumuhos ang luha sa aking mata sa halo-halong emosyon na aking nadarama. Hindi ko nakayanan ang sobrang pagkabigla na makikita ko siya, sa araw na hindi ko inaasahan. "T-totoo ka nga… I-Ikaw nga ang Weston  ko."

"Why are you crying? Did I shock you that much?" I can hear the nervousness in his voice. Weston tried to wipe my tears but it won't stop from coming out. "H-habinti, please stop crying. I wanted to surprise you, that's why I asked for some help from your friends-

Hindi ko na siya hinayaang taposin ang sasabihin niya. Mabilis ko itong sinugod ng isang yakap na sobrang higpit na agad niya rin tinugunan. 

My arms encircled on his neck, he's carrying me while his arms are on my back to prevent me from falling. I buried my face on his neck at doon umiyak nang umiyak.

"Gago k-ka, " I whispered. "You surprised me so much."

"I'm sorry, but baby, take it easy you're killing me, I can't breathe." Weston laughed. 

Mabilis kong niluwagan ang pagkakayakap ng nga braso ko sa leeg niya. Hindi pa rin tumitigil sa pagpatak ang mga luha ko sa balikat niya. 

Sa wakas nakita ko na rin siya, nahawakan, nayayakap at nadarama ang presensiya niya.

"Don't cry, habibti, please?" Weston said. "I don't want to see you crying." 

Humaplos ang kamay nito sa likod upang patigilin ako sa pag-iyak. 

Umalis ako mula sa pagkayakap sa kanya, tumingkayad ako upang maabot ang mukha nito at muling hinaplos ang kanyang mukha. Kulang na lamang ay kabisaduhin ko ang bawat parte nito palibhasa'y takot akong mawala ito bigla. 

Dahan dahang kong hinaplos ang kaniyang kilay, makapal ito na bumagay sa kanyang mukha, pababa sa mata nitong hindi binigyan ng hustisya ng larawan dahil sobrang ganda nito sa personal kumpara sa mga litrato, nakakaakit at nakakatulala, his eyes can hypnotize you any seconds. Ang hugis puso nitong labi na mamula-mula at akalain mong naglagay ng lipstick sa ganda. His face is so perfect to look at, you will envy his features because it was almost perfect. 

Weston low down so our face can be at the same level. Hindi mapuknat ang ngiti sa labi nito habang nilalagay ang mga takas na aking buhok sa gilid ng aking tainga.
