"Happy 7th Anniversary, baby..." he said and motioned me to turned around. I felt a cold thing around my neck. It's a necklace!
I look at it.
My tears begin to roll down my cheeks. To be honest, I'm not really a emotional person but when it comes to him, Tyler, I became emotional.
It is a gold necklace that have a diamond crystal pendant. For God's sake, this cost a furtune.
"H-happy 7th anniversary, baby," I replied stuttering. Many gift and blessings had came to my life bu he was the best gift that God gave me. And I thank God for that.
Tiningnan niya ako sa mata. Many emotions had appeared in hus eyes pero mas nangingibabaw ang kasiyahan niyon.
I handed him my present. I am ashamed about my gift for him, it's just a simple wrist watch.
I waited patiently for his reaction and thank God he like it dahil nakikita ko iyon sa mga mata niya. Tiningnan niya saglit ang aking regalo bago tumingin ulit sa akin. I bought that watch dahil alam kong mahilig siya sa mga relo specially Rolex.
Nalala ko pa noong palagi niyang sinasabi sa 'kin na gusto niya raw bumili ng relo.
"Ang ganda ng relo, no?"
I look at him. He was busy scrolling in his macbook. Mga relo lang naman ang nakikita ko, mukhang online shopping siya base sa nakikita ko.
"Oo. Lalo na ito," ani ko sabay turo sa isang relong nakakuha ng aking pansin. Para sa akin, it just a simple wrist watch. Pero masasabi mo talagang mahal siya dahil sa structure niya at gold din ito.
I look at the price below at muntik ng lumuwa ang mata ko sa sobrang mahal nito.
I faked a cough.
"N-no way!" malakas kong sigaw na ikinagulat niya.
"What's wrong?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Tyler sa akin at mabikis akong dinaluhan.
"Nothing. It just that..." napabuntong hininga ako, " nothing. Do you want it?"
He nodded then shrugged then nodded again then shrugged again. Ano ba talaga?!
"Actually, I love collecting wrist watch, alam mo naman iyon diba?" Tumango lamang ako. "Gusto ko talaga magkaroon ng Rolex watch pero nagsasayang lang ako ng pera para sa mga ganiyang bagay. It is better to give my money to someone who really needs it. Marami kasi ang mga taong nagugutam ngayon samantalang ako--tayo, bumibili ng mga gamit na wala namang saysay. So better give it to them."
