GLAIZA :

Hindi ako mapakali dahil hindi man lang ako nakapagpaalam kay Rhian. At medyo nakakalungkot. Pero hindi ko talaga siya makita kahit saan. I was already looking around nagbabakasakali, but sadly wala pa rin.

After 15 mins.....

G... akin na yung luggage mo. Para makapasok na tayo sa loob ng car. Dev said.

ha? uhh.. then huminto ako saglit then looked around. But lumapit si Dev at kinuha yung luggage ko.

Are you ok G? Dev asked.

ha? I'm ok. I said.

ok. Lets go inside na G. Dev said.

parang nag aalanganin pa ako pumasok... tumingin ako ulit sa paligid.. bago pumasok.

Are you sure ok ka lang talaga? Dev asked.

Uhm... i'm ok. Dev. Ok ako. I said.

Alright sige. She replied.

9:45 AM

Nakarating na kami sa airport...

After 10 minutes... I'm fixing my things on my own seat. When I noticed something then asked Dev...

Sayo ba mga bags na to?

No. Not mine. At saka hindi dyan seat number ko. Dev replied.

Ha? Kanino? I asked.

I don't know friend.. she replied then went back in fixing her stuff.
It's actually not fine na hindi kami magkatabi ni Dev, usually tabi yung seat number namin. But this time hindi. Though, I have to admit may taste yung may ari ng mga bags. Very nice and looks expensively good. Anyway, still doesn't erase the fact na i'll sit with a stranger. So, I went back fixing my shoulder bag, looking quite unhappy.

After 15 mins... i'm just quietly sitting, minding my own phone. Checking if baka sakali she had sent some messages.

It felt like somebody is already sitting beside me, but I didn't mind to check who.

The plane will take off in 5 mins.....

I still can't believe hindi kami nag usap ni Rhian. Hay. Saan na kaya siya?.....

Rhian :

do you believe na pag mahal mo talaga you'll fight for it?

Glaiza :

Napahinto ako bigla sa ginagawa ko. The voice sounds familiar.
Then tumingin ako sa katabi ko and there I saw her! Sobrang natuwa ako....

Why, you're here? I said.

Rhian :

Yes, I'm here. And it's all because of you.

Then she held my hand, while I was smiling non-stop. Sobrang saya ko. It felt like a dream or more like a movie, pero hindi, it's really happening to me.

How did you?.... uhhm. I asked, then she continued.

Well.... they say, pag gusto maraming paraan, so surprise! then she smiled at Me.

Pano si... I was about to continue when she stopped me.

Wala na kami. She said, while looking at me.

huh? what? are you sure about it? I asked her.

Yes. I am. Then she held my hand and looked at me... then she said... I chosed You.

Hindi ko alam if pano mag rereact sa sobrang saya ng pakiramdam ko, as soon as I heard those words.

GLAIZA :

I saw her happy face. I don't see any traces of doubts. And she just held my hands really tight.

I gave her a quick kiss on her lips. And she kissed me back.

I realized, sometimes love can be very complicated when in fact minsan it's all in our hands on how we would be able to make it simple. We had sometimes, set standards or norms for ourselves to follow when it comes to love, pero gusto natin maging masaya. But we simply dwell on other things, hindi naman sila ang magmamahal kundi tayo. In the end, it's between Me & Her and not the other way around. And there are times, yung bagay na simple when it comes to love mas lalong nagiging complicated dahil tayo rin madalas ang reason ng pagiging complicated nito. Mahirap bang maging masaya? It's not, when you found that simple way to be happy in love. I thought, I am doing the right thing for my life, but in the end sarili ko rin ang nahihirapan.

RHIAN :

I can't explain the happy feeling I have right now. And it's really priceless to see her surprised and happy. It feels really, really good to be with her at this flight.

We're still holding each others hands then we laugh non- stop. She smiles alot to me, I felt very happy too. I wasn't thinking about other things but I was just really focused on her.

I wasn't giving any much attention about other things but I was just really looking at her. Feels like a dream but I know it's for real.
I just really hope we'll be like this always. She looks really happy. When you really love someone, you'll never consider how hard things will be basta all that will matter is maging masaya siya with Me. And that's what separates true love from commitment, it's what your heart wants.

GLAIZA :

We've known each other for a long time now. And yung feelings na bigla nalang namin naramdaman para sa isa't isa, is something na hinding hindi ko makikita kahit kanino. We we're like a dream to each other. But it's a kind of dream na I never want to lose touch with. It felt like it's my own world. She's mine and I'm hers. That's how I love her.
