Moment of Truth

31

Rich's PoV

Andito lang ako sa likod ng events place. Nakatanaw sa kanya, the moment she opened the letter I wrote for her, kita ko na agad ang gulat sa mukha niya. I missed those expressions of hers haha.

"Sino po si Ms. Poriche Malabanan??" tanong nung MC

She's still shocked pero tinaas niya yung kamay niya

"A-ako?"

"May we please invite you in the middle?"

"B-bakit?"

"Nabasa niyo po yung nasa papel?"

"O-oo??"

"That's your prize madam"

"H-ha?"

"Upo ka na lang po muna"

Here we are in the best years of our lives
With no way of knowing when the wheel'll stop spinning
'Cause we don't know where we're going

When she has settle down nagsimula na yung background music. I got the mic and started to speak.

"Pororo..."

"Hala!! Tsumaaaa"

"Shh! Tsk. Ingay"

"Ehh!!"

And here we are on the best day of our lives
And it's a go, let's make it last, so cheers you all to that
'Cause this moment's never coming back

We earned some laugh sa pagsasagutan naming dalawa

"Kulit tsk hahaha"

"San ka hoy!! Tsumaaaa!!"

"Let me speak first silly"

"Ehhh sige na nga 🥺"

"Haha. Miss me?"

I looked at her and she's nodding while looking all over the place

"Can you sit still? Ang likot likot mo hahaha hindi tayo matatapos neto eh lagot ka kina Yeye"

"Naman eehh 🥺"

I used to know her brother but I never knew I loved her
'Til the day she laid her eyes on me
Now I'm jumping up and down, she's the only one around
And she means every little thing to me

"Pano ko ba to sisimulan? Hmm. You were a kid at heart. Isip bata, makulit, pasaway"

"Hoy!!" Sigaw niya

"But I love how you don't care what people thinks of you. You just live your life the way you want it. You're childish... but l love you for it"

I've got your picture in my wallet
And your phone number to call it
And I miss you more whenever I think about you

"I was broken and all pero pinapasaya mo ko sa araw araw... because of you... I was able to move on. Salamat Pororo"

I've got your mixed tape in my walkman
Been so long since we've been talking
And in a few more days we'll both hook up forever and ever

"Kahit na may ilang beses na pinagdudahan mo yung nararamdaman ko, I still love you. All of you"

"Tsumaaaa"

And here I am on the west coast of America
And I've been trying to think for weeks of all the ways to ask you
And now I've brought you to the place where I've poured my heart out
A million times, for a million reasons to offer it to you

"Hindi man tayo nawawalan ng away kahit sa simpleng bagay, I wouldn't trade this relationship I have with you for anything"

I used to know her brother but I never knew I loved her
'Til the day she laid her eyes on me
Now I'm jumping up and down, she's the only one around
And she means every little thing to me

When the instrumental started lumabas na ko sa harapan niya

"Tsumaaaa!!" She ran onto me and hugged me jumping

"Hey... hindi pa ko tapos haha"

I've got your picture in my wallet
And your phone number to call it
And I miss you more whenever I think about you
I've got your mixed tape in my walkman
Been so long since we've been talking
And in a few more days we'll both hook up forever and ever

"Ano ba kasing meron?"

I pulled out the small box in front of her and knelt down. Kasabay din nun ang paglabas ng mga kataga sa projector screen sa likuran ko

I used to know her brother but I never knew I loved her
'Til the day she laid her eyes on me
Now I'm jumping up and down, she's the only one around
And she means every little thing to me

"Will you be willing to spend your forever with me Poriche Malabanan? Will you marry me?"

"Hala mamaaaaaa 🥺"

I've got your picture in my wallet
And your phone number to call it
And I miss you more whenever I think about you
I've got your mixed tape in my walkman
Been so long since we've been talking
And in a few more days, we'll both hook up forever and ever
