Therese Gaston and Rex Intal

Therese's POV

"Hello? Uhm who's this?" I said as I answered the call on my phone without looking at the caller's ID.

"Hi Trey! Hindi ka ba tumitingin sa caller's ID?" Tanong ng isang pamilyar na boses. Wait is this.....

"OMG BEA DEL ANDITO KA NA SA PILIPINAS?!" I shouted as I realized that the caller was my batchmate/bestfriend/teammate the "Bea de Leon".

"Yes I am Trey. And actually I'm outside your house. Would you let me in?" Tanong niya.

"Oo naman! Bakit kasi hindi ka na lang nag doorbell?!" Tanong ko.

"Wala lang trip ko lang. I want to surprise you kasi eh." Sabi nito and I decided to end the call na and go downstairs.

"TREY!!!!/BEI AND TWINNY OMG!!!!" Sabi naming tatlo and we hugged each other.

"Hoy Teresa! Nakaka 11 missed calls na kami like what! Fyi, tig 11 ha!" Sabi nilang dalawa.

"Wow. Eleven eleven!" Sabi ko.

"Speaking of eleven eleven, how's the road 2 5 ever ha? Would you like to extend it naba?" Tanong ni Bei. Ano daw.

"Ha?" Talang tanong ko.

"Hello Therese Gaston! Bei is asking you kung kamusta na daw ba ang road 2 5 ever niyo ni Rex Intal! And would you like to extend it na ba? Like extending you're name too!" Sabi ni Maddie sabay wink pa at nag apir sila na Bea.

"Hay guys. Alam mo naman na wala pa sa vocabulary namin ni Rex Intal yan!" Sagot ko.

"Hay Teresa, baka sayo lang wala! Btw, tara lets go sa UP Town! My treat!" Aya ni Bea.

"Sige G! But I'll go take a bath muna. Wait lang kayo diyan." Paalam ko.

Rex's POV

From: Maddie Madayag

Rex, we're here na. Uhm we're going to shop muna and eat first then saan namin siya aayain after nun?


To: Maddie Madayag

I guess sa may labas na lang ng pagkakainan niyo. Text me na lang kung saan kayo kakain ha. Thank you Mads. Sabihin mo kay Bei thank you rin.


From: Maddie Madayag

Sure Bro! Welcome and good luck! You can do it!


So this is it, Rex Intal.


Therese's POV

"Hoy mga babae! Finish your foods muna then tsaka kayo magtext!" Saway ko. Paano ba naman text ng text hindi man lang ginagalaw yung mga pagkain nila.

"Okay po Madam." Sagot nilang dalawa. Tsk.

After we finished eating, bigla nila kong inayang lumabas and they are so weird. Kanina pa sila weird ha.

So nung makalabas na kami, parang nagkagulo yung mga tao and they pushed us.

"Twinny? Bei?" I tried to look for them but I just can't find them.

So pagkatapos akong itulak ng mga tao ay pinalibutan naman nila ako. Oh gosh anong gagawin nila sa akin.

"You look so wonderful in your dress

I love your hair like that

The way it falls on the side of your neck

Down to your shoulders and back."

So ako ba ang pinapatamaan nitong kumakantang ito dahil nakadress ako? Wait parang familiar yung voice niya.

And there, ngayon ko lang na notice na yung mga nakapalibot na pala sakin ay ang mga family, friends, and teammates ko. Including Twinny, Bei and andito rin ang family ni Rex? Wow they are all complete. Si Rex na lang ang kulang.

Asan na kaya si Babe? Miss ko na siya. Hay.

Speaking of.. Biglang nagbigay ng space ang mga taong nakapalibot sa akin and there, he was standing while holding a guitar and ngayon ko lang narealize na papalapit siya sakin. Then he started singing the chorus of Tenerife Sea while papalapit sakin.

At ng makalapit siya sakin ay iniabot niya ang guitar kay Kuya JC at humarap sakin tsaka nagsalita.

"Uhm hi." Sabi niya.

"Hello." I said.

"I'm Rex Intal, pretty lady." He said as he offered his hand para makipagshakehands.

So we're going back to the time when we first met huh.

"I'm Therese Gaston, handsome man. It was nice to meet you!" I said and took his hands at nagshake hands kami. Natawa naman kami parehas.

"Hay nako Babe. Remember that time? The first time we met? The first time we shaked hands? When I held your hand, para akong na kuryente. 'Til now I still feel the same way." Panimula niya sabay hawak sa kamay ko.

"Babe, remember that day when you said yes to me? I felt like I was the happiest person in the world. That moment when I asked you to be mine and you said yes." Pagpapatuloy niya and I smiled when I remembered that day. July 25, 2015. That day when our road 2 5 ever started.

"Every single day you're making me fall in love with you all over again Therese Marie Marguerette Mandanas Gaston. Although we had rough times, we still manage to make our relationship stronger. So now here I am asking, can we extend our road 2 5 ever as you extend your name too?" Tanong niya sabay luhod. Wait what?!

"Can you be my Mrs. Intal? Therese Intal sounds so nice to my ears." Tanong niya sabay kuha ng isang ring sa bulsa niya.

OH MY GOSH.

And now my tears are starting to fall. It is slowly sinking in. I want to open my mouth and say yes but I can't because I'm completely speechless.

"Again Therese Marie Marguerette Mandanas Gaston, can you be my Mrs. Intal?" Tanong niya and finally my mouth decided to open.

"Yes, Rex Emmanuel Antonio Intal. I can be your Mrs. Intal." Sagot ko at tsaka niya sinuot yung ring sakin then tumayo siya and hugged me.

"Thank you for saying yes, Babe. I love you very much." Sabi niya habang yakap yakap ako.

"I love you too, Babe. I love you very very much." Sagot ko at hinalikan siya sa forehead at sa ilong niya.

"Save the best kiss for the wedding na lang babe!" Dagdag ko.
