♫ Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving but I know I saw a light in you
As we walked we were talking and I didn't say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Stephen, boy you might have me believing I don't always have to be alone. ♫
♫ 'cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help I if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
I can't help myself ♫
♫ Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling
So I've got some things to say to you
I seen it all so I thought but I never seen nobody shine the way you do
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving
I think you and I should stay the same ♫
Tumingin siya sakin at ngumiti.
♫ They're dimming the street lights
You're perfect for me why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now so come on and come out and pull me near
Shine, shine, shine ♫
♫ Hey Stephen I could give you fifty reasons why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well they're beautiful but would they write a song for you? ♫
Mahal ko na talaga siya.
♫ Myself, can't help myself
I can't help myself. ♫
Namangha lang ako sa kanya. Ang ganda pala ng boses niya.
Pero ang mas nakakataba ng puso, e yung may magdedicate sayo ng isang kanta.
"HOY STEPHEN YU! AKALA MO BA, IKAW LANG ANG INLOVE SAKIN? INLOVE AKO SAYO! MATAGAL NA! KAYA. BAGO KA UMALIS, GUSTO KO LANG NA MALAMAN MO..." Lumapit siya sakin at niyakap ako. Pagkatapos, binulong niya ang gusto kong marinig matagal na. Yung 3 words na gusto ko marinig sa taong mahal ko.
"I love you."
"AYIEEEEEEEEEE! KISS NA YAN! KISS NA YAN!" Nang-asar pa 'tong mga 'to. Tinignan ko si Ash at ayun, namumula rin siya.
Gulat na gulat ako. Pero masaya.
"Buti naman at nag-aminan na kayo."
"FINALLY! After 123456789 years!"
"Party party!"
Niyakap ko lang si Ash ng mahigpit.
Grabe, akala ko, hindi matutupad yung wish ko, na maging akin rin si Ash. :">
"Sorry, kung hindi ko sinabi sayo kaagad. Nahihiya kasi ako e. Atsaka, nung mga panahong yun, alam mo namang, hindi pa ako sigurado sa nararamdaman ko diba? Tapos yung problema mo pa sa pamilya mo."
"Sssh. Wag kang magsorry. Kasalanan ko rin. Basta, ang importante ngayon, AKIN KA." Naramdaman kong kinurot niya ako sa tagiliran. Napatawa na lang ako ng mahina.
Tumingin ako sa mga mata niya. "Mahal mo talaga ako, Ashley Prieto?"
Ngumiti siya, "Oo. Mahal kita, Stephen Yu."
At syempre, nagkiss kami. For the second time.
"AYIEEEEE KINIKILIG AKOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Cheesy mo!" Tawanan lang sila ng tawanan. Samantalang kami, masaya. Sobra.
"Kaso, aalis ka pa naman." Nagpout siya.
"Alam mo, babalik rin naman ako e. After a year. Pagkatapos nun. Tayo na talaga. Papakasalanan na kita." Sinipa niya lang ako sa tuhod.
"Ayoko pa mag-asawa ng ganun kaaga noh!"
"Jinojoke lang kita, babe."
"A-anong babe?"
"Namumula ka dyan, babe?"
"Epal ka!" Niyakap ko na lang siya ulit.
"Attention. Flight XXX from Manila to United States will take-off in 15 minutes. Please enter the premises now."
"Mamimiss kita."
"Mamimiss rin kita." Niyakap ko na lang siya ulit ng mahigpit.
"Bye na. Stephen. Mag-iingat ka dun!"
"Bye guys!"
"Bye, Stephen. Mahal kita."
"Bye Ash. Mag-iingat ka ha? Mahal na mahal rin kita."
"Opo. Babe." Napangiti naman ako nun at kiniss siya sa noo.
At umalis ako ng masaya.
Napasakin rin ang taong mahal ko, ang saya lang.
