"Sa Minesview Park." sagot niya.
Pumara siya ng taxi saka binuksan ang pinto as usual para sa akin.
I get in the car so did he.
"So... We're officially dating?" napalingon ako sa sinabi niya.
"Hahahahahaha. Seriously? You wish. Ligawan mo muna ako ng mas matagal." sagot ko.
"I just called my girlfriend this morning and you called me yours earlier." he said while wearing his disappointed face which I find cute. Hihi :))
Assumero din pala ito no? Nakakagulat. Hahahahaha.
"Well you did it on purpose and so did I." sagot ko.
"Fine. I get it." sabay tingin niya outside the taxi's window.
"Impatient already?" I turned his head to me.
"Of coarse No. I'm not giving up on you. I will not." he said determined.
"Win me." I answered then got out of the taxi.
"I'll win you for sure." sabi nito sabay hawak ng kamay ko.
Hinyaan ko nalang siyang gawin iyon dahil naging comfortable ako sa lagay naming iyon.
Masyado kasi madaming tao and di ako masyadong comfortable pag ganun.
"Picture tayo dun." yaya ko sabay turo doon sa mga malalaking aso pero cuteeeee!
St. Bernard dogs iyon.
Natuwa si Mcchaine dahil this time ako naman ang nagyayang magpicture kami.
We took so many pictures then continued walking around.
We even took pictures wearing Igorot Costumes.
Napagkamalan pa nga kaming couples e. Hahahaha.
Tuwang-tuwa naman itong kasama ko noong sinabihan kami ng lalaking nagbihis sa amin ng costume ng "Sa susunod na balik niyo dito, kasal na kayo ha?" noong aalis na kami.
Napag-usapa namin na bibili muna kami ni Mcchaine ng souvenirs bago kami pumunta ng The Mansion.
"Anong size mo?" tanong ko kay Mcchaine.
"Why?" sagot niya.
I want to buy him a souvenir or a token rather of appreciation.
Sobrang nag-enjoy ako. And this won't happen kung wala siya.
"Basta. Anong size ng shirt mo?" I replied.
"Why? You'll buy me one? Wag na. Buy for Maikee, Kyle, your Dad at kahit sino pang malapit sayo. Okay lang ako." sagot niya.
"No. Its a token for appreciation kasi malaking tulong itong pagyaya mo sa akin magtravel para maiba ang environment ko. Di lang hospital at bahay ang nakikita ko." I pertinaciously said.
"Its okay. Okay na sa akin na ikaw ang kasama ko. I'll take that as my token." he replied.
"Please?" I insisted again.
"Makulit ka din no?" nakukulitan na 'to, pustahan pa tayo.
"Please?" sagot ko.
"Medium. Ikaw?" sabi nito.
"Same." sagot ko habang tumitingin ng magandang souvenir shirt for him.
Then I saw this awesome shirt. Nagandahan kasi ako sa design. It really shows that Baguio People really embrace their culture.
I chose that shirt for Mcchaine.
Nagsabay kami ni Mcchaine na nagbayad sa counter.
We ate our dinner at the hotel and stayed at our room.
Nagla-laptop siya habang ako nakiki-gamit ng wifi ng hotel.
We're both seating on the couch.
I was going through my instagram news feed and saw this photo.
A part of me just broke into pieces but the other part of me tries to pick up each pieces and build it.
"They look happy." sabi ni Mcchaine.
Nakita din niya pala yung picture. Aww.
"Masakit?" Tanong niya.
I laid my head on his shoulder and wrap my arms around his arms.
At this moment, I felt not much pain. Di na katulad ng dati na maiiyak ako dahil nakikita kong mas masaya si Lance sa iba kaysa sa akin.
"Hindi. Masaya ako e." then I look at him.
I think... I think I'm into this guy.
"Masaya ka pag kasama mo ako?" sabi nito at itinigil niya ang kung ano man ang ginagawa niya sa laptop niya at tinignan ako.
Tumango ako at bunga noon ang pag-ukit ng ngiti ni Mcchaine sa kanyang mga labi.
He stretched his arms and wrap it around my shoulders. He let me lay my head on his chest and I let him caress my hair.
"I Love You, Harcind." he whispered.
Three words yet it all means to me.
Three words yet it feels like its something more than what it means.
Three words yet its like it is everything to me.
"Mcchaine, ilang babae ang sinabihan mo na ng 'i love you'? tanong ko.
Wala akong rason kung bakit ko itinanong ito. Na-curious lang ako.
Siyempre, nasa malayo siyang lugar bago pa kami nagkita ulit. Malay ko ba kung may grilfriend pala itong lalaking ito.
Its not that I don't trust him. I just don't want getting into trouble AGAIN because of what I feel.
"5" sagot niya.
Aba, chic magnet pala ito e. Matindi ka, boy.
"Sino sila?" tanong ko.
"Ranieviel. She's an amazing girl. She's full of stories. I met her when we were in elementary. Shy yet talented." ani Mcchaine.
I looked at him. I can see that he's really into that Ranie girl. She must be lucky.
"Then I met Elaijana. She's like Ranieviel but there's something about her that makes her more lovely than Ranieviel. She's close to perfection." pagpapatuloy niya.
"Pagkatapos kong ma-meet si Elaijana, I bumped into this beautiful girl. She was Harper. She's the most unique of all." sabi nito.
"What makes her unique?" I said then he looked at me for awhile then looked away again.
"Every smile on her face was tantamount to every tears that falls down to her cheeks. She's broke but she's strong. She was so blinded with her past. Even the most special day in her life passed like it was just an ordinary day. But I love her. I love her even with her flaws."
"Second to the last is Cindy. She was friendly and I adore her. Adventurous girl. She's rather with her books than with others. Shy like Ranieviel." sabi pa nito.
Wow. Just wow. Sobrang close sa perfection lahat ng babaeng minahal niya.
Sobrang ibang-iba ako. Sobrang imperfect. Hahahaha. But I'm happy with what I have and what I am today.
"Sino yung last?" tanong ko.
Okay. Ako na madaming tanong. Idol ko po si Sir Boy Abunda e.
