"Let's see each other .Now na." - Maine.

"What's the matter? It's already 2:30 in the morning. Babe let's sleep." -Alden.

"E. I miss you. "- Maine.

"Grabe siya. Sige na nga. Bihis lang ako."- Alden.

And so.... Here we are holding hands while chika chika dito sa park. There are just a few number of people around us at hindi naman nila kami pinapakialaman. It's a good thing nadin para masolo namin ang isa't isa.

"So anong gagawin natin. Maghoholding hands lang?" I kissed the top of her hand.

Kinurot niya ako sa tagiliran. "Ihhhh. May mga tao. Nakakahiya." Ngumiti siya tapos yumuko. She's cute when she's embarrassed.

"At bakit ka naman mahihiya. Normal lang to sa boyfriend, girlfriend. Yung iba nga kiss sa lips e." Iniharap ko siya sakin and I looked at her lips.

"Alden naman e. Wag mo kong titigan ng ganyan."
Napangiti ako lalo. She's very shy on public. Ang cute talaga niya!

"Halika nga dito." I pulled her towards me and hugged her tight. "Wala akong pakialam sa sasabihin nila. Tsaka wala namang nakatingin satin e. Wala ng tao. Tsaka ikaw ang nagsabing namimiss moko tapos ayaw mong nilalambing kita."

"Hmm. Wala talaga ha?" Sinuksok niya ang ulo niya sa chest ko at niyakap ako ng mahigpit. She really did missed me.

"Hmm. It's just the two of us." Bulong ko sakanya.

Bumitaw siya and looked around us. Nagulat siya dahil wala na ngang tao kundi kaming dalawa nalang. "Asan na sila?"

"Pinaalis ko na. Para masolo natin tong park. Para sa pinakamamahal kong girlfriend."

Actually, habang naglalakad kami kanina at kayakap ko siya. Sinenyasan at pinakiusapan ko na yung mga tao na kung pwede kami munang dalawa dito sa park. And I think my dimple just helped me.

"Thank you. Namiss lang kasi talaga kita."

"I miss you too. Sobra. Kaso inaalala ko kanina yung oras. We still have things to do tomorrow, I mean later. Sayang yung oras na ipagpapahinga mo sana.."

"E. Hayaan mo na. Minsan lang naman natin gawin to. Tsaka promise mamaya babalik nadin tayo sa hotel."

Yes, we are staying at the same hotel but no, we don't share the same room. Actually, nasa 12th floor siya while I stay at the 7th floor.

We sat down on a swinging chair together, and looked at the beautiful sky.

She leaned on my shoulder and gave a small sigh. I looked at her. "Why? May problema ba?"

Umiling siya. "Wala. Just overthinking things. Alam mo naman ako." She grabbed my hands and intertwined her fingers with mine.

"Ano na naman yang iniisip mo babe? Tell me."

"Iniisip ko lang. Ang bilis ng mga pangyayari sa buhay ko. In a blink of an eye, boyfriend na kita. Baka mamaya, in a blink of an eye, mawala kadin agad. Mga ganung thoughts. Baka magsawa ka sa wacky faces ko, sa presence ko." She pouted.

"Pakasalan na lang kaya kita?." I released my hands from hers and grabbed her waist.

"Huh? Agad agad?" She glared at me with a "no-no" look.

"Grabe siya! Syempre nagjojoke lang ako. Let's wait for five years. Mabilis nalang yun. Pero kung gugustuhin mo bukas na bukas din, arrangements na agad tayo." I grinned.

"Alam mo ikaw ang taas ng pangarap mo. Bakit tinanong mo naba kung gusto kong magpakasal sayo?"

"Bakit ayaw mo ba?" I gently asked.

"Eto naman. Syempre gusto ko. Pero wag muna ngayon. Sabi mo nga. We're still young. Tsaka madami pa tayong priorities. Pero promise mo, walang iwanan ha. Kapag ako talaga sinaktan mo, babasagin ko yang mukha mo para wala ng mainlove sayo." Sounds like a joke, but she's serious like hell.

"Harap ka nga sakin." Nilapit ko ang mukha ko sa mukha niya. "Ikaw lang. Ikaw lang ang babaeng mamahalin ko habang buhay. Promise yan. You are my last babe. And remember this, akin kalang. Okay?" I gave her a smack on her cheek.

"Talaga ba?"

"Oo. Promise. I have committed myself to you the moment I said I love you. At alam ko naman na ganun ka din sakin." I held her hand again. Kung pwede lang na magkasama kami buong araw. Kung pwede lang na wag ng bitawan ang kamay niya. Kung pwede lang na wag na kaming maghiwalay.... God, I love this girl so much. Thank you that I've met her.

"Let's go back to the hotel?" Siya.

I smiled.

"Thank you for loving me Alden. I've never imagined that a guy like you would fall for me. Really. It's unbelievable. I am so blessed."

"No. I should be the one saying that. Words even cannot describe the feelings I have for you Maine. I love you is not enough to say it in words."

God gave me you.
