Epilogue

Bwisit ka talaga Kenneth! Di mo maiwasang pagmukhain akong tanga.

Bigla nalang nagring yung cellphone sa bulsa ko. Hindi ko na tiningnan kung sino yung tumatawag kasi nag-e emote pa 'ko.

"Hello?" sabi ko.

"Jinky."

OMG. That voice. Mas kilala ko pa kaysa sa sarili kong boses. Buti nalang nakasandal ako sa gate kasi feeling ko hihimatayin ako sa sobrang tuwa. Oo, ako na ang OA.

"B-bakit Kenneth?"

"Tingin ka sa harap ng gate nyo," sabi nya sabay tawa. Saktong may narinig akong tumawa sa likod ko.

I'll hold the door

Please come in

And just sit here for a while.

This is my way of telling you I need you in my life.

It's so cold

Without your touch.

I've been dreaming way too much

Can we just

Turn this into reality.

Cause I've been

Thinking 'bout you lately.

Maybe you can save me,

From this crazy world we live in.

And I know we could happen,

Cause you know that I've been feeling you.

Grabe! Ang ganda ng boses nya. Lalo akong napaiyak sa ginawa niya. Nasa harap ng gate namin si Kenneth, may dalang gitara at kumakanta. Ngayon lang ako nakarinig na may nanghaharana pala sa hapon. Ang sweet! Nakakakilig, promise!

Storms they will come

But I know,

That the sun will shine again.

He's my friend,

And he says that we belong together.

I'll sing a song,

To break the ice.

Just a smile from you would suffice.

It's not me,

Being nice girl this real tonight.

Cause I've been

Thinking 'bout you lately.

Maybe you can save me,

From this crazy world we live in.

And I know we could happen,

Cause you know that I've been feeling you.

I know you want me.

There's no other,

There's no other love.

That I'd rather have,

You know.

There ain't no one,

There ain't no one else.

I want you for myself.

Cause I've been

Thinking 'bout you lately.

Maybe you can save me,

From this crazy world we live in.

And I know we could happen,

Cause you know that I've been feeling you.

I know you want me.

Lumapit siya sakin at binigyan niya 'ko ng isang box ng red velvet cupcakes. 

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko. Niyakap ko siya. I was surprised kasi he hugged me back and kissed the top of my head. Super saya ko, hindi ko na ma-explain. 

Napansin kong may nakataling red string sa right pinky niya at hawak niya yung kabilang dulo. He took my hand and looked at me straight into my eyes. 

"Will you be my girlfriend?"
