The Unspoken Words of Kiefer Ravena

Chapter 36: A promise of love

Naglakad kami habang inaalalayan ako ni Kiefer. He's not removing his hands sa mga mata ko. Umakyat kami sa isang hagdan. Not literally a stair pero mga 4 steps sya.

He removed the blind fold. Nakatayo lang kami sa isang lugar na nahaharangan ng itim na kurtina. At heto ngayon ang papa mo, may hawak na microphone. Don't tell me KAKANTA SYA?

"When I was at the hospital, a few days ago, a few weeks ago, my family said that you were there at binabantayan ako by my side. Wala akong alam, syempre dahil Coma ako. Maybe one of the reason kung bakit ako nagising is because of you Mika."

You lift my heart up when the rest of me is down....

You, you enchant me even when your not around....

If there are boundaries I will try to knock them down....

I'm latching on babe, now I know what I have found.

And then he started to sing. Wait, latch. Wait again, acoustic mga bebe.

He grabbed my hands and then kissed it. Shems what am I feeling right now?

"But then Dani and Thirdy said that you love me, that moment when I woke up, bigla akong lumakas. I don't know, but I felt really something weird. And then I realized, you are my strength. Mika, you are one of the reason why I wanted to live. I love you more than the stars above."

He said straight into my eyes. Wala, nangingilid na yung mga luha ko. I have nothing left to say. I am speechless.

He smiled. That! That caught me. Why Kief? Why do you have that kind of smile? It gaves me goosebumps.

I feel we're close enough...

I wanna lock in your love...

I think we're close enough...

"Could I lock in your love, baby?"

He said, not sang, but said. Yes, hindi nya kinanta yung last line. Wait. Is that really a question? To me? I point my finger to myself like asking if it was me he's asking.

He just gave me a smile and shook his head. Bumaba sya sa upuan at binaba ang gitarang hawak nya. He again hold my hand and we take a three steps forward.

And then the curtain dropped.

Now I've got you in my space,

I won't let go of you.

Got you shackled with my embrace,

I'm latching on to you.

Habang kumakanta sya, may mga ilang sumasayaw sa harap namin. At hindi na acoustic yung tono nya, yung original tone na. Pero still, kinakanta nya pa rin yun.

Wanna know kung ano yung mas kinagulat ko? Some of the dancers are Shay, Thirdy, Dani and some of my friends. Like seriously??

Tinignan ko si Kiefer and nag ano-to-face :( mababaliw na talaga ako sa sobrang surprised and syempre kilig. :(

Lumapit si Kiefer papunta sa akin. He grabbed me and put his arms around me. Then we started to sway sideward.

"Miks, I have been from the other side of the world. Searching for things to discover and soon to embrace. Searching for the one who will complete the missing piece that God reserved to me. Until, one day I woke up, I realized that it is you. You are the one I have been praying and wishing to God."

And then I realized that Kiefer is already crying. He kissed the right side of my head. I can hear him sob. Me as well.

Yes, I am very emotional too. Hindi ako bato para hindi matouch sa lahat nang ito.

As he tries to calm his self, hinawakan nya yung mga mukha ko at inilapit ang noo ko sa noo nya. And then he softly whispered:

"Mika I loved you before, I love you today and I promise to love you more tomorrow." Thos soft words struck my spine.

"Would you accept my heart to give you love? And my promise to keep your trust?"

I nod. He smile and then hugged me. Thats the most amazing feeling.
