February 6, 12:15pm, DTBY set:

After we ate lunch, Maine and I sat across each other on the table. The tent we stayed in was perched on a hill and on this clear and gusty day it was such a pleasant place to just hang around.

As I scrolled through my phone checking on my social media accounts, she chatted with the staff. Her melodious voice filled the air around me and that was enough to keep a little smile on my face and a big grin in my heart as I quietly sat there, appearing to be preoccupied so that even for just a few precious minutes, I can let myself relish that moment with Maine in silent observation.

The wind blew a cool breeze through the tent. I watched her gracefully brush away some hair that covered her eyes as her silky mane floated in the air around her lovely face.

I remembered that look, the fresh radiance she exuded, her exquisite beauty braving the strong gusts of wind meaning to leave her disheveled but failed miserably to even disturb the surface of that elegant glow that covered her loveliness wherever she went.

That look was the same one she had when we rode that boat around Lake Como, on the most memorable summer of our lives together... so far.

That look was the same one she had when we walked along those train tracks one beautiful Autumn afternoon in Germany.

That look was the same one she had on our first televised road trip and Valentine's date together.

That look was the same one she had each time we watched the sunrise by the beach and we greet a brand new day of our forever together with hearts full of hope and bright smiles on our faces.

That same look was the one she had when we had dinner on a rooftop and the stars sparkled above us as we danced to the music of our hearts

That look was the same one she had in each moment that never failed to carve a special memory in my mind and drown my heart in the unfathomable abyss of my love for her, my one and only Nicomaine.

That look, that same look that always led me to the little paradise I found with the love of my life, my own quiet haven in the world of blinding lights of fame and loud chatter of rumors we live in.

As I watched her, my hand raised with my phone in it and started taking pictures of my Maine's beauty, not that it can completely capture her magnificence but at least I can have those photos to look at from time to time.

"Hoy! Huli ka." Maine giggled as she playfully hit my arm.

I smiled and put my hand down. I gazed directly into her sparkling eyes and softly spoke in a voice that told her of my sincerity, one I knew she could not shrug off.

"Sorry. Sobrang ganda mo kasi."

And when she blushed and looked down then slowly raised her doe eyes to look at me through those rich lashes that fanned over her radiant brown orbs, I knew she found the truth in my simple statement of fact.

She smiled, a smile that warmed my heart and reached the depths of my soul.

And for a few seconds, the earth stopped and time froze as our eyes spoke the words left in the silence of our love.

Then in her incomparable Menggay charm that can only be her own, she grinned and shoved her phone in my hand.

"Talaga ba? Buti pa kuhanan mo ako ng pictures at ipapasa ko yan sa peysbuk. Ay! Sa Twitter at Instagram pala. Sayang ang pa-wind effect, ikaw lang nakikinabang."

"Ako lang naman talaga dapat pero sige. Baka sabihin madamot ako. Pwede naman kasi silang tumingin lang." I smirked and aimed the lens at her adorable facial expressions. 💛🍃

"Wind blowing and
memories flowing."
