'Di Madama

• Last Chapter (Part Two) •

He nodded. "Just be more careful the next time, okay?"

I nodded back at him. "I'll try my best."

And with that, like he always did, he enveloped me into another hug.

Hindi mo ba talaga madama?

"Where are we going?" I asked him. Nandito kami ngayon sa kotse niya, sabi niya he'll take me to 'somewhere special' daw. Pinagbihis niya pa ako ng dress, dahil sa isang restaurant daw kami pupunta. Pero hindi ko alam kung saan. Ang alam ko lang, nasa kabilang siyudad na kami. Maging siya ay naka-suit and tie. Mas lalo nanaman tuloy siyang gwumapo.

"It's a surprise," he said.

Napa-iling na lang ako sa kanya.

Bumaba na kami nang makarating kami sa isang building. Nang makasakay kami sa elevator, hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. I smiled at the feeling. Everytime he's beside, especially when he holds my hand, I feel the safest.

Nagulat ako nang bumukas ang elevator at nasa roof top na kami ng building. Maraming fairy lights sa paligid at may naka-set up na table sa gitna na pangdalawahan.

"Ano nanamang pakana 'to?" I asked him.

Nginitian niya lang ako.

Hinila niya ako papunta sa table at ipinaghila niya pa ako ng upuan. "Miss Anghel, please take a seat," he said.

"Thank you, Mr. Anghel," ngiti ko pa sa kanya.

Nang maka-upo naman siya sa harapan ko ay may dumating na waiter na may dala-dalang champagne glasses at wine.

"Thank you," sabi niya sa waiter.

"Is this a date?"

He smiled as he nodded at me.

When he already poured wine into our glasses, he handed me my glass and intertwined his arms with mine. He clinked our glasses. "Cheers to better days," he said.

"Cheers," I smiled at him.

When we were already eating, I stopped just to look at him. How can someone be as lovely as him? As wonderful as him? As dreamy as him? As understanding as him?

And how can someone like him be with me?

"Why? Is there some dirt on my face?" he asked when he caught me staring at him.

Umiling ako. "No..."

"H-hey, why are you crying?" he asked as he started to panic. Kaagad siyang tumayo at nilapitan ako. "Did I do something wrong? Have I said something wrong?"

Umiling ako. "N-no..."

"Then why? You're making me worry."

"I..." I said. "This is the first time ever someone brought me to a date."

Mukhang nagulat siya sa sinabi ko.

"This is tears of joy," sabi ko. "I'm just really happy that you're my first date."

He smiled as he kissed me on the forehead. "God, you made me worry for a second there," sabi niya, ngayon yakap na ako.

That night we only ate and talked about random stuff. He told me things about him like his family and friends. Nang tapos na kami kumain, umalis muna siya para mag-restroom pero nagulat ako nang pagbalik niya may dala-dala na siyang bouquet of red roses.

He started walking towards me slowly as Angel by FINNEAS started playing.

Ang gwapo gwapo talaga.
