CHAPTER 13

Hindi ko alam kung paano ko nakayanang itago ang kaba ko sa bawat minuto na itinagal ko sa bahay nila.

His mom was not even intimidating, I'm just really nervous.

What if hindi niya ako magustuhan?

What if iba ang gusto niya para kay Rence?

Paano kung tingin niya makakagulo lang ako sa pag-abot ng mga pangarap ng kaniyang anak?

Iilan lang 'yan sa mga tanong na bumabagabag sa akin sa mga oras na kasama ko ang pamilya ni Rence.

But to my surprise, wala ni isa r'yan ang tumatak nang magdesisyon na akong umuwi.

"Thank you sa pagbisita,hija." Tita Fiona said, Rence's mom.

I smiled at her, "It's my pleasure, Tita. Thank you for your warm welcome." Sabi ko na medyo nawala na ang kaba dahil sa naging usapan kanina.

She looked at Rence and then tapped his shoulder. "Nako, dalhin mo ulit dito ang girlfriend mo, ha. Para matikman niya pa ang iba kong luto."

Rence smiled awkwardly then scratches his head.

"Opo, ma." He said.

After that, we already said our goodbyes and see you soon.

It feels good to be accepted by the family of the one's you love. It feels...nostalgic. That's why I didn't noticed that I'm actually smiling from ear to ear the whole ride.

"Mukhang masaya ka ah. Sabi sa'yo magugustuhan ka nila e." Biglaang pagsasalita ni Rence.

"You can't blame me, it's my first time to meet someone's whole family." I plainly said.

Not realizing what I just have said.

"...I mean...my..b-boyfriend's famiy." I added.

Imbis na magsalita pa muli ay pinili ko na lamang ituon ang atensyon ko sa daan.

We're just new.

I'm new to this.

Nangangapa pa ako. Kung anong dapat gawi'n. What's the proper wait to act. What are the things I should change. And how will I make this thing work.

I stopped overthinking when Rence speak.

" 'Wag ka nang mag-isip ng kung ano-ano. Alam ko naman naga-adjust ka pa at hindi kita minamadali. Hayaan mo lang ang sarili mong maranasan ang mga bagay na bago sa'yo." Sabi niya na nakatingin pa rin sa daan.

"Nandito naman ako para samahan ka sa lahat."

That's when my mind and heart starts to calm down.

For a moment, I felt....secured...and enough.

I looked at him.

Looking at the man who always make my heart flutters.

"I love you." I whispered.

Who would've thought that the day will come where I'll be able to say those words.

And I said it because that's what I feel.
Because the man in front of me deserves to hear those words. Because he's the reason why I felt those different emotions at one time.

What did I do to deserve a man like you?

Wala akong maalalang nagawa ko na sobrang ikinabuti ng iba. Puro pag-aaral lang naman ang ginawa ko. Siguro I'll just do good things on the next days, week, months, or maybe years. Just to prove that I really deserved him.
