[ Destiny POV ]

"Isang daan at isang tupa, isang daan at dawalang tupa, isang daan at tatlong tupa, isang daan at apat na tupa..."

Bilang kong nakahiga habang nakayakap kay LJ at nakatingala sa kisame. I was imagining hopping sheeps over hurdles of mattresses like they do in those commercials. Tumingin ako sa desk clock ko at napaungol. Pasado alas-tres na pala ng madaling araw at hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa din ako dalawin ng antok. Bakit ba kasi hindi ako makatulog?

Sinabunutan ko ang sariling buhok. Alam na alam ko ang sagot sa estupidong tanong ko. I couldn't sleep because I couldn't get my mind to stop speeding for a moment of rest, it was unfortunately still reeling from the event that Liam and I did in his room when my cousin gave birth to her preterm but macrosomic baby, and if it doesn't stop soon I think I'm going to get motion sickness.

Nagpakawala ako ng marahas na buntong hininga at nagpagulong-gulong sa kama ko ng ilang minuto at ng magsawa ay patagilid na nahiga kung saan nakaharap naman ako sa pader. I quickly scooted over towards the cool sheetrock a.k.a. wall and gently pressed my cheek up against it, letting out a deep breath in an attempt to relax. Hmmm... Damn, it's not working! Walanghiyang Liam Jayden dela Vega yan, sya ang may kasalanan nito! What the hell did he do to me?

I mean, I've known for a while now that he truly loves me, I'm pretty sure that he made that obvious with, you know, the whole asking me to marry him and whatnot. And I thought for a while now that I truly love him too, but something about today, about the way he looked at me, like I was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. He even said that I am celestial, and isn't it that celestial, is synonymous with ethereal, divinity and heavenly. Ang puso ko ay biglang tumibok ng pagkabilis-bilis kaya't napahawak ako sa may dibdib ko.

Liam's image flashed in my mind. The way he held my hand, so gently, and caressed my palm tenderly. And when he gave me that coy smile, as if he knew something that I didn't... like he always knew that we were bound to end up together in the end, or that I would be staring like crazy at my ceiling at three o' clock in the morning, thinking about him. And that just pissed me off, how the hell that bastard know this shit that I will be going through before I did?! Is he some fortune teller?

Muli akong gumulong ng kama ko, rolling over onto my other side. Makakatulog pa kaya ako? Sana naman kahit ilang oras lang ay makatulog ako. Si Liam kaya, iniisip din nya kaya ako ngayon at hindi din makatulog tulad ko? Matapos kung maisip na ayoko ng mahiga ay bumangon ako at naupo na lang sa kama ko. I looked at my left hand particularly on its ring finger, using my right hand I gently touched the ring Liam had given me back today, at parang tanga na ngumiti ako ng pagkalapad-lapad. Hinalikan ko ang bato ng singsing at biglang sumingit sa isipan ko ang ginawa nyang re-proposal kanina sa balkon nila. He was right, I would never take this ring off again, because it's mine forever.

Habang suot ko ang singsing na ito ay palagi kong iisipin na kasama ko si Liam. Dahil alam ko kung gaano kahalaga ito sa kanya. Kaya kung meron man magkakamali na nakawin ito ay siguradong mananagot sa akin dahil isasakamay ko ang batas, lintik lang ang walang ganti!

Kinuha ko ulit si LJ at yinakap ng mahigpit. Ito ay isa pa sa mga bagay na pinahahalagahan ko dahil malaki ang kinalaman nito kay Liam. Nahiga akong muli at tumingin sa kisame kong may mga glow in the dark stars. Kailan pa ako naging sentimental? Hindi pa ako umakto kahit kailan ng inaakto ko ngayon. I never like mushy, cheesy and soggy stuff dahil taliwas yun sa palaban at rebeldeng personalidad ko. When did I turn into a girl that swoons at the sight of a gorgeous man, especially one as full of himself like Liam? Sa pagkakakilala ko sa sarili ko ay kinaiinisan ko ang mga hambog na lalaki pero ano at isang hambog pala ang iibigin ko. The irony of life.
