A Bad Girl's Weakness

Chapter Fifteen : Memorable

03/12

I woke up from the smell coming from outside the room. Nathan and I had a little argument earlier so I decided to apologize before it gets worse. I got out of the bed and went outside. I saw Nathan cooking dinner, I walked towards him and back hugged him. He was frozen for a second but then he turned around so he can hug me too.

"sorry sa kanina, hindi ko sinasadya" I said sincerely.

He kissed my temple and said.

"mahal kita, tandaan mo yan at hindi ako magsasawang intindihin ka ng paulit ulit" he said. I was so lucky to have this man. I don't deserve him.

I broke the hug and kissed his cheek.

"pagtapos mo jan, pede tayong pumunta sa country side?" I asked.

"oo naman" he said with a smile and continue cooking.

We had finished eating dinner at sumakay sa sasakyang regalo saakin ni dad nung nagbirthday ako. Nakarating na kami at naglatag nanaman ng blanket sa damuhan. Tumingala ako para makita ng maigi ang mga butuin.

"ang ganda" I said and smiled.

"true" Nathan said.

I felt someone staring at me. I looked at Nathan's side and was shocked when I saw that he was the one starting. He went near me then hugged me and both looked at the stars above.

"your touch haunts my daydreams" I said.

"blessing ka sa buhay ko, alam mo ba yon?" he said. I smiled and hugged him tightly.

"ikaw yung pinakamagandang nangyari sa buhay ko" he said.

"kung wala ka, hindi ako yung Nathan Alcantara na kilala mo ngayon" dagdag pa niya.

"kapag magkasama tayo, pakiramdam ko tayo lang ang tao sa mundo, kasi sayo lang umiikot ang lahat ko" he said. I was so overwhelmed by his words.

"you changed me, binago ako ng pagmamahal mo, ng kabutihan at pagtitiyaga mo" I said.

"babe" he called so I looked at him.

"gusto ko mangako ka saakin. Pagmahal mo ang isang tao, sasabihin mo sakanila, kahit gaano kahirap at kakumplikado" he said then I smiled.

"promise!" I said and raised my right hand with a huge smile on my face.

"nga pala, dito ka lang ha may kukunin pang ako, mabilis lang to!" he said while getting up. I nodded.

Couple of minutes later at nakabalik na siya. May daladala pang paper bag.

He gave the paper bag to me. Binuksan ko iyon at nakita ang box ng Xbox.

"hoy mahal to! akala ko ba nagiipon ka?" I asked.

"pagmahal ko, walang mahal saakin" he said and smiled widely.

"ay wait meron pa" sabi niya habang may kinukuha pa sa baba ng paperbag. kinuha niya ang black velvet na box at binuksan iyon sa harap ko.

It was a minimalist necklace with a pendant of shining stars around.

"for me?" I asked, kasi baka pinapakita lang niya. He nodded excitedly at isunuot saakin ang kwintas. It was so beautiful.

"wait there's more!" he said

"napakadaming pera ha" I teased.

He opened the box with two infinity bracelets.

"pareho tayong meron nito, akin na kamay mo" he said and put the bracelet on my pulse. Sinuot ko narin sakanya ang bracelet niya.

"thank you, babe" I said and hugged him.

"anything for you!" he said. "hindi lang yan! gusto mo pagawan pa kita ng bahay saka mas maraming kotse" he said and laughed. He's so cute.

"gusto ko ng bahay na malaki tapos may pool, tapos 2 girls tapos 1 boy, ikaw?" I said excitedly.

"kahit ano, basta kasama ka" he said sweetly.

"pangarap kong makapagpagawa ng bahay at buhay na kasama ka, babe" he said and looked at me. I smiled sweetly.

"me too, ano bang pangarap mong maging?" I asked him seriously.

"maging asawa mo" he said maybe sarcastically.

"tss" I said.

"joke lang, gusto ko doktor" he said.

"why?" I asked.

"wala, ang cool lang kapag tinatawag ka ng 'Doctor' tapos surname mo" he laughed.

"bagay nga saakin e, 'Doctor Alcantara'" he said and laughed again.

"bagay rin sayo apelyido ko" he said. I laughed.

"Arianna Shaznei Alcantara, o, bongga pangmayaman parin!" he said and we both laughed.

He hugged me tightly and told me the words that will remain on my memory 'til the day I die.

"mahal na mahal kita, at kahit anong mangyari wala akong gagawin kungdi mahalin ka ng mahal ng higit pa sa sarili ko kasi ikaw ang buhay ko, Shaznei, hindi ko alam kung kakayanin ko pag wala ka sa tabi ko" he said and burried his face on my neck.

"tayo hanggang dulo" I said.

"tayo hanggang dulo" he repeated my words, and a promise was built.
