"What distinguishes a candle from other lights is that it appeals to our soul, not our eyes!"

VESTER'S heart almost sank when Tobi, Pavlo's manager called in the middle of their candlelight dinner. He twirls the fork in his pasta while carefully watching his husband few feet away from him, talking over the phone.

He never tore his gaze from him. Biting his inner cheeks, he watches Pavlo go back to his chair. Somehow, his husband's smiles assure him that nothing's wrong. The older even winked at him. He crunches his nose.

"Para sa'n daw ang tawag na iyon?" he asked.

"Nothing special. Nangumusta lang about sa new project ko. Alam mo naman iyon, always ahead of time. Parang pati nga ang buhay ko sa susunod na taon ay na-i-plano na niya," said Pavlo before taking a sip of his wine.

He raised a brow. "Sure ka? Eh bakit kailangan mo pang lumayo?"

Pavlo looked at him intently. "Doubting, my love? When was the last time I lied to you?"

He shrugged. "Nope. I just want to have my man all night. May tiwala kaya ako sa'yo. Gusto ko lang naman masolo ang asawa ko. Masama ba 'yon?"

The older chuckles and he's not sure if he saw him blush because of the dim lighting but if ever, he's happy because throughout the years, he still affects him. "All night lang? What about tomorrow? Ayaw mo na sa'kin after this? Ouch! Naiiyak ako. Ang sakit. Sobra."

He snorted. "Ang OA mo, babe. Syempre, hanggang hukay, we have each other."

Pavlo pouts, "Alam ko. Thanks for this wonderful dinner, Tey. Nag-effort ka pa talaga. I mean, you don't have to. Kahit naman simpleng dinner lang, okay na sa'kin. Ang mahalaga, kasama kita."

He pursed a smile. "You know that I love cooking for you and make it something special para mas ma-impress ka pa sa'kin. Malay mo at baka mas ma-in love ka pa kay Vester Bonn niyan."

Pavlo giggles, "Who's that guy? Do I know him?"

He frowned but then grins after realizing it. "Ang hot mong asawa na kinababaliwan mo. Tejero-Nabbe po."

Pavlo smirked, observing him. "Bakit ka namumula? Kinikilig ka na naman diyan? Grabe ka na talaga. Malala ka na, Tey. Magpatingin ka na siguro sa espesyalista nang maagapan ka?"

"Huwag mo nga akong inaasar!" He mocks a side-eye. "Kumain ka na nga lang. Maghuhugas ka pa ng pinggan mamaya. Akala mo ha!"

"Ang cute mo kasing asarin. Nakaka-in love tapos—ayan na naman po siya. Kahit may kadiliman, kita ko pa rin ang blush mo. Ang sarap kurutin." His husband nibbles his lips to suppress another grin.

"Heh! Ewan ko sa'yo!"

"Heh! Ewan ko sa'yo!"
