"I told you, I will bring you to your happiness right?" Then he click the elevator button that will open the it's door.
"Eto na sya...." Sabi nya then saka nya iginaya Ying mukha nya sa direksyon ng elevator door na kaalukuyang nagbubukas.
Pagkaopen ng pinto! Sobra akong namangha sa nakikita ko!
Author POV
Bakas na bakas kay Jamie yung sobrang gulat sa mga nakikita nya ngayon. Yung dating simple rooftop lang ng condominium na ito, ngayon ay may isang romantic dinner date setting para sa kanilang dalawa ni Cid
Yes ! With Cid!
Maraming ibang table na nakaset up dito pero meron isang table sa gitna na nakapukaw ng pansin ni Jamie.
Table for two sya, with dinner set up. Meron pang champagne. Syempre wag natin kakalimutan si Cid na kasalukuyang nakatayo sa harap nya looking so gorgeous at the same time so manly.
A/N Imagine Cid Like this
Mas lalo pa atang naiinlove si Jamie kay Cid ng makita nya ito. Yes, alam naman nya kung gaano kagwapo ang kasintahan nya na ito pero seeing him looking like this...
"Grabe! Boyfriend ko ba talaga yung napakagwapong lalaki na yan? Napakaswerte ko talaga!" Sabi ni Jamie sa sarili.
Sa kabilang banda, si Cid na ngayon ay sobrang kinakabahan at the same time sobrang masaya nang makitang nasa harap na nya yung lalaking pinakamamahal nya.
Napangiti nalang sya ng pagkalaki laki habang tinitigan si Jamie, then nagdecide sya na lumapit na kay Jamie upang dalin ito sa table nila. Kinuha muna nya yung bulaklak na nakatabi at saka nagsimulang naglakad.
Sinalubong sya ng nakangiti ngunit nagtatakang Jamie.
"Hi, Love!" Bati ni Cid kay Jamie
"Hi? Love! Ano ito? Anong meron at naghanda ka ng ganito? May okasyon ba akong nakalimutan?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Jamie, naging dahilan upang matawa ng bahagya si Cid.
"No, Love! Wala naman okasyon! Gusto ko lang talagang gawin para sa iyo ito." Nakangiting sabi ni Cid
"Ahh, okay! Akala ko may nakaligtaan na naman ako eh! Buti nalang wala!" Jamie felt relieved while saying this.
"Pero..." Pahabol na sabi ni Cid
"Pero?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Jamie.
"Pero after this day, this night is going to be memorable for us! This night is going to be one of those day na importante para sa satin at sa relasyon natin." Cid smilingly said.
"How so, Love?"
"You'll see, Love!" Masayang sabi ni Cid.
"Okay! I'll look forward kung ano man itong balak mo! Gosh, Cid! You and your obsession with surprises!" Sabi nalang ni Jamie, na medyo nagpatawa muli kay Cid.
"Shall we?" Cid asked Jamie habang inilalahad nya yung palad nya sa harap ni Jamie signaling for Jamie to hold it. Napatingin lang si Jamie sandali, ngumiti kay Cid then he look at Cid's hand again.
"Yan yung kamay na I will always be willing to hold kahit na saan ako dalin. As long as Im holding that hand, I know I will be safe and happy. As long as I'm with Cid. I'm good!" Jamie said to himself tsaka sya hinawakan yung kamay ni Cid.
Nagkatinginan pa sila then nagsimula si Cid na hatakin si Jamie papunta sa table na inihanda nya para dito.
~~~
Nakaupo na sila Cid at Jamie, may waiter din na kasalukuyang naglalagay ng red wine kanilang wine glass.
Ang lamig ng simoy ng hangin dito sa rooftop ay syang tangi mong maririnig. Walang nagsasalita sa kanilang dalawa bukod sa maya maya nilang patingin sa isat-isa. Ngingiti then iiwas sila ng tingin.
Si Jamie na puno ng pagtataka kung ano meron sa gabing eto, habang si Cid naman ay puno ng kaba.
Natapos na ang waiter sa paglalagay ng inumin sa kanilang wine glass. Tumingin ito kay Cid na wari'y nagiintay ng susunod nitong utos sa kaniya.
"That would be all, later nyo nalang dalhin here yung food. I will call when you can do it already." Cid said to the waitress.
"Noted, Sir!" The waiter said to Cid then umalis na ito mula sa table nila papunta sa isang gilid kung saan naroon din yung iba pang tao tulad ng Chef na nagiintay din ng susunod na instruction from Cid.
Hindi na kinaya ni Jamie yung sobrang pagtataka, nagsimula na syang magsalita.
"Love, ano ba talagang meron? Bakit may paganap kang ganito tapos ayun oh? Parang ginawa mong instant restaurant itong rooftop. Tapos may mga tables pa, pero wala naman tao bukod satin? Ano ba talagang meron? Nacurious na talaga ako eh! Can't you tell me na? Anong..." Hindi na pinatapos pa ni Cid si Jamie na magsalita.
Bigla nitong hinawakan yung kamay ni Jamie na kasalukuyang nasa ibabaw ng table. Then Jamie saw him lift his arm like he was signalling someone.
In an instant, the romatic sound of different instruments like violin, zaxophone, celo, and others started to resonate here at this very rooftop.
They started to play a Love song.
"Love, I know you are so damn curious kung ano ba talagang nangyayari sa gabi na ito. Ayoko ko naman na masyado kang mattress kaya eto. Sasabihin ko sayo kung anong meron, but for now..."
Cid stand from his seat still holding Jamie's hand then he went near Jamie. Habang si Jamie ay patuloy lang sa pagtitig sa kanya.
"Would you give me this greatest honor to dance with you?" Cid smilingly asked Jamie.
"Huh? Dance? Here?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Jamie.
"Yes, Dance! So can we, Love?" Cid looks at Jamie like he was trying to convince him using his eyes.
Jamie looks at him first, then he sigh as a sign of definite. He really can't say no to this guy.
"Okay! Ikaw talaga oh!" Jamie said to Cid, which made the man chuckles.
Cid proceed on guiding Jamie to stand up from his seat then stand beside their table.
While stand, Cid guided Jamie's arms around his nape then he proceed on snaking his arms on Jamie's waist.
Cid just keeps on smiling to Jamie which made the man smile to him too. Cid pulled Jamie closer which made them be skin to skin. They look like they are hugging each other. Jamie rested his head in Cid's Chest.
Nagsimula na nga silang sumayaw habang dinadama yung init na nagmumula sa kanilang katawan na para lamang sa kanilang dalawa.
They are slowly swaying their body, kasabay ng romantic song na tumutogtog sa background.
No one is speaking! Tanging background Music, at ang hangin sa rooftop na ito, at ang tibok ng kanikanilang puso ang kanilang naririnig.
"Sobrang sarap talaga sa pakiramdam ang manatili sa bisig mo Cid! It felt so safe here! Pakiramdam ko, I don't ever want to remove myself from here! Sobrang saya ng puso ko ngayon sahil sayo!" Hindi maiwasang sabihin ni Jamie habang kayakap si Cid.
They continue to be like this until, Cid decided to let go and step back a little from Jamie. Medyo nagtaka pa nga si Jamie nung una kung bakit, ngunit nawala din ito ng makita nyang nakangiti si Cid sa kanya at nagsimulang magsalita.
"Cid?" Tinawag ni Jamie si Cid as he steps back. Cid smiles at him
"Whenever I'm with you, I always feels so thankful kasi kasama kita at nahahawakan. You know, Love! All my life, I always feel na parang may kulang sakin! Na parang may gap sa puso ko na hindi ko alam kung ano or sino yung dapat kong hanapin para mapunan. I'm never happy enough! Lagi may kulang! I never felt like enough na hindi ko naman maintidihan. Lumaki ako sa isang pamilya na parati kong nararamdaman na magisa ako. I'm always on my own! Kaya siguro naging player ako noon. Kaya siguro hindi ako marunong magseryoso sa buhay kasi pakiramdam ko, hindi naman sila Permanente sa buhay ko so why bother make them important. Pakiramdam ko panandalian lang ang lahat kaya bakit pa ko magaaksaya ng effort na manatili sila sa buhay ko. Even my family, they are always away from me. I never had something or someone I would want to call mine, until I met you!" Cid seriously said. Nakatingin lang si Jamie sa kanya at nakikinig sa bawat salitang binibigkas nya.
"When I met you, I already knew na you should mine and I should be yours. I don't know how I knew but I do! I just knew it! Pakiramdam ko paghindi ka napasakin, mawawala sakin yung pinakaimportanteng tao sa buhay ko. Thankfully pinagbigyan mo kong pumasok sa buhay mo, ngayon tinuturing mo pa akong boyfriend at mahal mo. I feel like the luckiest man, alive in this world. Pakiramdam ko nasa akin na ang lahat! Wala akong pakialam sa kahit na anong bagay maliban sayo!" Nagulat si Jamie nung nagsimula nang tumulo yung luha ni Cid.
Agad agad syang lumapit dito para punasan yung mga luha nya pero pinigilan sya ni Cid.
"Don't, Love! Hayaan mo lang ako! Please just stay still and let me finish what I have to say. I really need to say this all tonight." Sabi ni Cid kay Jamie, kaya wala nang nagawa si Jamie kung hindi manatiling nakatayo sa harap ni Cid.
"Nung muntik ka nang mawala sakin, pakiramdamn ko unti unting nawawasak yung mundo ko at parang nilalamon ako ng pagkawasak nito. Pinipilit kong wag mawalan ng pagasa kahit sobrang natatakot ako na tuluyan kang mawala sakin. Dun ko napatunayan na kahit ano pang mangyari sating dalawa. Isang bagay ang hindi ko kakayaning mangyari sa lahat." Cid went near Jamie, then he put his one hand into Jamie's cheeks and started to caress his face.
"Hindi ko kayang mawala ka sakin, Jamie! Mas kakayanin ko pang lokohin mo ko. Saktan ng paulit ulit pero ang mawala ka sakin ng tuluyan? Yung iiwan mo ko sa kahit na anong kadahilanan ay yun ang hinding hindi ko kayang tanggapin. Call me selfish or insane pero kaya kong tanggapin ang lahat basta manatili ka lang sa piling ko. I just want you to be mine! Hindi ko kakayanin if makukuha ka ng iba or kahit ng kamatayan pa! Hindi ko kaya Jamie! Hindi ko kaya! Hindi ko alam if selfish ba itong gagawin ko ngayon, pero gusto ko lang masigurado na akin ka lang. Na akin na akin ka lang!" Mariing sabi ni Cid.
Tapos he suddenly get down on his one knees na naging dahilan para muling magulat si Jamie. He even put his hands into his mouth to avoid himself from shouting.
He saw how Cid get something on his pocket and open it in front of Jamie
It's was ring!
"Cid!" Jamie called him with matching full of question on his eyes.
"Please don't be alerted by this, Love! I'm not proposing to you, Jamie yet! Alam ko naman kasing hindi ka pa ready. This is just a promise ring. I just want you to promise me na hinding hindi mo ko iiwan at mananatili kang akin. I just want to hear you promise me, Love! I'm so sorry if I sounded so selfish about this pero I'm desperate, Love! Ayoko ko lang na mawala ka sakin! Ikamamatay ko yun kung nagkataon. Muntik ka nang mawala sakin noon. Ayoko na ulit mangyari yun dahil lang sa isang pagkakamali. Mahal na mahal lang talaga kita. Please accept this, Love! As a sign of your promise that you and I already for a lifetime. Please, Love! Please accept this!" Cid seriously said.
Nanantiling tahimik si Jamie habang pinagmamasdan si Cid. Seryoso yung mukha nya na unti unti naging dahil upang kabahan si Cid. Lumapit si Jamie kay Cid at hinawakan nito yung braso ni Cid upang sya ay patayuin.
Sobrang natatakot at kinakabahan na si Cid. Hindi kasi nya alam kung ano ang magiging sagot ni Jamie sa kanya. Hindi nya mabasa ang mukha nito. Ilang segundo pang hindi nagsalita si Jamie.
"Ayaw mo ba?" Malungkot na tanong ni Cid kay Jamie. Nakita ni Cid kung paano ipinikit ni Jamie yung mata nya, huminga ng mamalim at after a few second. tumingin ulit si Jamie kay Cid.
"Love! You know how much I love you, right? You are the first man I have ever love my whole life. Sinabi ko narin sayo yung kagustuhan ko na sana ikaw na haggang sa kahulihulihan. You don't need to do this because para sakin. Ayaw din kita mawala kasi hindi ko din ito kakayanin. Mahal na mahal kita pero kung eto yung magpapalubag ng loob mo at magpapasaya sayo then yes, Love!" Seryosong sagot ni Jamie.
Sobrang mabuhayan ng loob si Cid.
"You mean..." Hindi na pinatapos ni Jamie si Cid.
"Yes, Love! I promise! I promise to always love you and be with you for a lifetime. Mahal na mahal kita, Love! Gusto ko din maging iyo lang at ikaw ay akin lamang. I promise, Love! I promise!" Jamie smilingly said to Cid. It made his lover so happy that he immediately put the ring on Jamie's finger then stands up to pull his boyfriend into tight hug.
"I love you, Love! I love you so much! Mahal na mahal na mahal na mahal na mahal! Mahal na mahal!" Cid happily said as he hugs Jamie.
"Mahal na mahal din kita, Cid! Mahal na mahal!" Jamie answered.
They continued to hug each other until Cid spoke again.
"This is not the end of this important day, love!" Cid happily said, Jamie became confused again.
"What do you mean, Love?" Jamie asked Cid nung maghiwalay sila sa pagkakayap sa isat isa.
"Turn around, Love!" Cid said to Jamie. Agad agad naman utong sinunod ni Jamie.
Laking gulat nya ng makita kung sino sino yung nasa harap nya.
Nasa harap nya ngayon lahat ng taong malapit sa kanya. Their family and friends are here except for Cid's parents kasi busy sila. But Cid's older brother Max and sister Lizelle are here.
"Congratulations!" Sigaw nilang lahat habang nakatingin kay Cid at Jamie.
"Cid?" Teary eyed na tinawag ni Jamie si Cid.
"I know how much you want to spend time with them. Hindi mo magawa kasi pinagbabawal ko para makapagfocus ka sa recovery mo. You always thanks me for being patient with you, pero alam mo love, it should be the other way around. I should be the one thanking you for your patients. Alam ko minsan sobra na ko, pero hindi ka nagrereklamo. Thank you so much, Love. Sana patuloy mo parin akong mapagpasensyahan. Mahal na mahal kita lang talaga kita. Here I am trying na mabayaran lahat ng pagpapasensyahan mo sakin. Spend time with them! I know how much you miss all of them." Sabi ni Cid kay Jamie. Walang pasabing niyakap ni Jamie si Cid.
"Thank you, Love! Thank you so much for this!" Masayang sabi ni Jamie.
Maya maya nagulat ang lahat ng may biglang magpasabog ng fireworks sa kalangitan! Jamie let go of Cid to look at the fireworks.
They are so amused by what they are seeing!
Cid looks at Jamie na kasalukuyang nasa tabi ny habang pinapanood ang fireworks.
"I love you, Love!" Cid said, nang marinig ito ni Jamie, hindi nya maiwasang hindi mapangiti. Tumingin din sya kay Cid.
"I love you too, Love! I promise to love you forever!"
