"Joaquin Saavedra, ano na naman ba ang pakulo mo at kailangang naka-blindfold pa ako?" tanong ko habang mahigpit na hawak ang mga braso ni Joaquin dahil hindi ko alam kung saan niya ako dadalhin.
"Trust me on this, Dennise Saavedra, pede ba?" I playfully tap his arms and laughed.
"Feeling. Teka ano, malapit na ba tayo? Alam mo nangangalay na ako ha." reklamo ko pero nakarinig lang ako ng isang hagikgik.
Kanina, Joaquin fetched me at the clinic kasi nga sabi niya gusto niyang makipag-date sa akin dahil isang linggo rin halos kami hindi magkikita because of his work. And right now, I don't know what he's up to. Haaay, hiraptalaga sa mga boys palaging may pasurprise!
"....and we are here!" He told me, carefully removing my blindfold. It took me seconds before I fully adjusted my sight.

"Baby, what's this?" I unbelievably asked Joaquin. He then kiss the top of my head as he whisper, "Surprise." I cannot believe this. So, this is the reason bakit buong araw ko siyang hindi matawagan. Ito pala 'yun.
"Sorry. I cannot answer phone calls from you earlier because of this. I hope you like it?" he said hugging me sideways.
"I love it. But you don't have to do this, ah. You're treating me so special. Baka mamaya, masanay ako at hanapin ko 'to sige ka." I joked, touching his face.
"And so? Baka naman nakakalimutan niyo, Ma'am? Boyfriend niyo ho ako and at ikinararangal kong iparamdam sa'yo sa simpleng paraan kung gaano ho kita kamahal. Ayos ba tayo diyan?"
"Hmmm, oo na. Sige na. O, let's take a seat na para nam—" I was about to seat when he stopped me. Tiningnan ko naman siya habang umiiling sa akin.
"Tsk, ano ba naman. Let me handle this..." Joaquin pulls a chair at me and gently holds my hand as I sit. He winks. "Better."
"Ano naman ang nakain mo at sweet ka ngayong gabi?" I asks. Joaquin poured some wine to my glass, same goes to his.
He shrugged his shoulders, "I am always sweet. Ikaw lang itong nababaduyan sa akin e..."
"Minsan, you're sweet. But most of the time, you are annoying. Most of the time, kaaway kita..." I said, laughing. Joaquin just smirked at me. "Pero don't worry—Ikaw naman ang paborito kong kaaway. Ikaw ang favorite ko!"
