Eh Yung Hindi Naman Tayo? (COMPLETED)

Happy

You've been awfully quiet over dinner. You just looked over at me from time to time while we ate not saying a word.

It's Thursday, so we're on our previously scheduled weekly date night. It was one of the things you made sure we had so we can spend more time together and get to know each other better. It's also a bonus that we get to celebrate the day we first met weekly.

After dinner, you volunteered to clean up and I helped you then fixed us both a cup of tea. I'm really more of a coffee person but being with you made me find a newly discovered liking for tea.

We sat beside each other on the couch while we sipped our tea while watching TV. I don't really remember what the show was because I wasn't really paying attention and I'm sure you weren't either.

We sat quietly for a while as I admired the flowers you brought earlier, five dozens of pink roses beautifully arranged in a giant bouquet.

I felt your lingering stares on me but whenever I looked at you, you averted your gaze.

Problema mo ba?

After a few more uncomfortably silent minutes, I couldn't take it anymore so I asked you.

"RJ? May problema ba?"

You finally shifted in your seat to face me and looked me in the eye.

"Happy ka ba, Meng?" You asked.

"Anong tanong yan? Oo naman. Napakadaming bagay na dapat ikasaya."

You sighed and took my hand then held it between your palms. It still amazes me how my entire hand can disappear within them.

"Alam ko naman. I meant masaya ka ba na kasama ako? Dito sa kung anong meron tayo? Happy ka?"

I sensed something in your voice. I couldn't quite put my finger on it exactly but it hinted anxiety.

I guess at one point in our complicated relationship, this would happen.

I moved closer to you and clasped my other hand on yours. I stared deep into your eyes and smiled.

"RJ... Sa one hundred three weeks na pinagsamahan natin, sobrang dami na nating napagdaanan. Ang dami nating natutunan at pinagsamahan. Ang dami na nating iniyakan, tinawanan, kinatakutan ng magkasama pero kahit kailan hindi natin naisip na talikuran ang isa't-isa. Madami na ding pumagitna sa atin pero nananatili tayong nakakapit. Sa lahat nang yun nagpapasalamat ako na nahanap kita sa buhay ko, RJ."

I lifted my hand to gently touch your cheek and you rested your face on my palm. "At sa buong buhay ko, hindi pa ako naging ganito kasaya. Hindi lang dahil sa natupad yung mga pangarap, hindi lang sa dami ng lugar na narating ko, hindi lang sa lumawak ang mundong ginagalawan ko, hindi lang sa mga bagong kaibigan, hindi lang dahil madami akong nagagawa ngayon na dati ni hindi ko naiisip na magagawa ko... Naging pinakamasaya ako dahil ikaw, Richard Faulkerson Jr., ang kasama ko sa lahat ng ito."

I sniffled and felt hot tears trickling down my cheeks. You, of course, were a sobbing mess by that point with your ears, nose and eyes all red. You're still cute though.

"Eh bakit ka umiiyak kung masaya ka?" You sobbed.

"Because I'm overwhelmed and I have never been this overwhelming happy. Kasalanan mo to." I pouted and hit your arm.

"Ngayon lang ata ako magiging masayang isisi sa akin ang isang bagay." You chuckled as you grabbed some tissues from the box on the table and wiped my tears and then yours.

"I don't know what to do with you." I sighed.

"Bakit?"

"You make me so happy and I want to keep you forever." I said and our gazes locked with each other.

You moved your face closer to mine and whispered. "Keep me. I'm all yours, Maine."

"What if I'm not good enough to take care of you?" I asked.

"You already are." You asked, your stare unabated.

"I'm not sure I am."

"I love you and I know you are."

Our faces moved even closer together until our lips were almost touching.

"RJ?"

"Hmmm?"

"Can I kiss you?" I whispered, my heart beating wildly in my chest.

You smiled a little. "I'm all yours, Meng."

"And I'm yours, RJ." I muttered under my breath and kissed you. 💛
