In My Eyes by Edward Barber

2018

As Edward sat on the sofa waiting for Maymay to get dressed, he tried to act as if nothing happened. For the longest time, weakness nya talaga ang legs nang girfriend nya. Wayback PBB days, naka glue na ata mata nya kay Maymay. He memorized already all her features. Her mannerism. Her moods. He always wanna stare at Maymay. As if just looking at her make him feel like he is home. Like he finally know why all this time he does not know the reason of his existence. He felt empty until he met her. Sounds cheesy but all the star aligned when he met her. Parang magic.
He smiled when he saw her came out her room wearing loose jacket and jeans.
He stood up and held Maymay's hand and said" I like you better in that outfit" but I might say you look best a while ago in your pink...
Bigla syang tinampal sa braso nang girlfriend  nya.
Edwardo!!!! Tama na yan . Erase erase....
He couldn't help but stare on her blushed cheeks.
He pinched her cheeks .
"Let's go May, or i will kiss you again...
Natatawa na lang at niyakap sya ni Maymay  sa bewang palabas nang condo.

Tita Cath good morning!
"andyan na pala kayo mga anak,," kain na kayo. I cooked bacon and eggs for you May and for you Edward you could prepare your cereal or eat this tuna sandwich i made for you."
"Love you Mom" sabay halik ni Edward kay Mommy nya.
Si Maymay naman napatingin na lang at napaisip na napakalambing at mabait na anak si Edward.
Siguro perfect husband din sya at perfect father in the future.(naku Meridil napaka advanced mo)
Thank you Tita Cathy! Nahihiya na po ako sayo. Sobrang spoiled na po ako dito. Hehehe.
Tawagin mo na kasi akong Mommy!
Ano po?
Sabi ko tawagin mo na akong Mommy! Total nagmamahalan naman kayong dalawa nang anak ko. Hindi ka na iba sa akin anak. Kelan ka pa magpapractice?
Nako Tita Cath! Matagal pa po yun! Bata pa kami!
" baka mapaaga na Maymay! " Edward spoke and look straight in her eyes.
Napangiti c Mommy Cathy at lumabas na lang nang kusina nang makitang medyo natahimik ang dalaga.
Bushak ka talaga Edwardo! Ano ba ang pinagsasabi mo?
"May, you know very well that I am very serious with our relationship. At baka hindi na ko makapagpigil sayo" sabay halik sa labi nang dalaga. Nabigla ang dalaga.
"Okay pero pag isipian mong mabuti"
Matagal na akong ready May. Ikaw lang ata ang hindi pa ready eh" Nahihirapan na din akong magpanggap na bestfriend lang tayo. Andami pang boys na gustong manligaw sayo..
Nag pout na ang lips ni Edward na ikinatawa ni Maymay.
"Ikaw talaga napakaseloso mo po. Ikaw lang ang nag iisa dito sa isip at puso ko". Mahal na mahal kita Edwardo !'
And I love you more sweetheart "
Kain na tayo uy! Gutom na ako" sabi n Marydale.
Tawang tawa naman ang binata sapagkat matakaw ang girlfriend pero hindi naman tumataba.
May hinay hinay lang sa kain may practice pa tayo mamaya sa ASAP.
