'I'M SORRY, MY QUEEN. — KING'

Hindi naman siguro masamang mapalitan sa puso nya ang kinilala nyang King nang matagal na panahon diba? Hindi naman nya ito makakalimutan kahit kailan. It's just that, talagang may nagpapatibok na sa puso nya ngayon at iyon ay walang iba kung hindi ang lalaking kasama nya ngayon. Ang lalaking nagparamdam sa kanya na mahalaga sya at karapat-dapat irespeto. Walang iba kung hindi si Dylan Kingsley.

And because of the overwhelming feeling she can't contain, she crouched down and covered her face using her hands as she tried to hide her tears that won't stop from falling from her eyes. But Dylan got worried in an instant so he immediately crouched down in front of her and tried to remove her hands that's covering her face.

"Lene, I'm sorry. Hindi mo ba nagustuhan? Sorry, babawi nalang ako."

"N-no. I love it." Krislene whispered.

"Lene—"

Naputol ang sasabihin sana ni Dylan dahil bigla nalang syang niyakap ng mahigpit ni Krislene kaya't napaupo si Dylan sa buhanginan. "Nakakainis ka! Hindi ako ready eh! Ako dapat itong mag-aapologize sayo. Tapos ikaw 'tong gumawa ng ganitong bagay para sa akin."

Dylan can't help but to smile because his Queen is being adorable right now. So he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her with the same ferocity. "I thought you didn't like it my Queen."

Then Krislene looked up to him, still having tears on her eyes, "I definitely love it Dylan! Thank you!"

Dylan dried her tears away using his fingers before hugging her once again. "Anything for you my Queen."

"So I'm your Queen again?"

"Lene, You'll always be the Queen and I, your King, won't let go of you."

Then Krislene buried her face on Dylan's neck and mumbled, "—you."

Dylan frowned because he didn't heard clearly what Krislene said. "What did you say Lene?"

"Nothing."

"Lene—"

"Not now Dylan. It's a secret. Tsaka ko na sasabihin."

"Are you sure?"

Krislene looked up to him and grinned, "Promise."

Dylan laugh at his Queen being so adorable in his eyes right now. He pinched the tip of her nose before he claimed her lips as they shared a kiss full of their feelings with each other, as the sun peeks up from the sky, being their witness.

While on their way back to Adriano's residences, Krislene can't stop from looking at their photos. It's their first ever photos together and it's really memorable to her. At syempre, kinuhaan nya ang ginawa ni Dylan sa buhanginan para sa kanya. Dinamihan na nya at lahat yata ng angulo para naman sulit.

And Dylan, who's driving at that moment, can't stop smiling from time to time when he has the chance to look at Krislene. Nakikita nanaman nya kasi ang mga ngiti nito habang tinitignan ang mga pictures nila.

Speaking of pictures, "Lene, can you send all our photos on my phone?" Dylan said as he got his phone from the dashboard and handed it over to Krislene.

"Sure!" Krislene said as she pressed the power on button of Dylan's phone. And right at that moment, she was suprised to see Dylan's lockscreen wallpaper. It wasn't her Sister and Dylan's picture now but the picture of the vast ocean, but what caught her attention is the house on the very side of the photo. Hindi ito nakuhaan ng buo. But somehow, it looks familiar to her.
