LACHLAN CHUA POV
Ang saya ng pamilya niya. Hindi pa ako tinrato ng ganito ng pamilya ko kahit kailan.
Ang sayang mapabilang sa pamilya ni Jake. Para bang magkakapatid na talaga kami kung mag-usap ng mga kapatid niya at kung makapag-payo ang Papa niya sakin ay parang Papa ko na din siya.
Today is my birthday..
Nobody knows even my friends except for my ex-bestfriend. Pero dahil ex nalang siya ay walang nakakaalam na kaarawan ko ngayon.
Walang maganda sa mga past birthdays ko so I can count this night as my birthday celebration and this night one was the best!
"Ano na pre? Kumusta namang girlfriend ang bunso namin?" Si kuya Oliver. Parang ngayon lang siya naging madaldal simula kanina dahil tamado na siya sa iniinom naming brandy.
"Hehe. Sadista e. Ang hilig manapak ng kapatid niyo." Pag-aamin ko dahil yon namn talaga ang totoo.
"Hahaha! Sapakin mo din! Aba ganyan na kasi ang mga babae ngayon. Kapag pinagbibiyan, namimihasa." Si Kuya Jeff.
"Ay...wag ganon! Kapag ginawa mo yon ako ang sasapak sayo. Babae parin ang anak ko kahit na lalaki kung umasta. Hindi mo pa man nakikita sa ngayon pero may kahinaan din siya." Si Tito Imo. Papa ni Jake.
"Don't worry Tito, wala po sa isip ko ang saktan siya physically and even emotionally. I love your daughter so much." Sinserong saad ko.
"Magkakaintindihan tayo kung ganon." Siya bago ininom ang laman ng baso niya. Nagtawanan lang naman ang dalawang kapatid niya.
Kanina pa ako patingin-tingin sa gawi nila Jake at Mama niya. I saw her smiling and I can see it in her eyes that she was very very happy. How I love her smiles...that makes her more beautiful.
"We love our princess so much bro. Please do your part. Love and protect her. And don't ever ever hurt her feelings." Sa tono palang ni kuya Oli ay alam ko ng seryoso siya.
I smiled at him. " no worries bro. I won't ever ever do that." Seryosong sagot ko din sakanya.
Ng magtawag na sila Jake na kakain na naman ay nagpaiwan ako sa table namin kanina. I just love looking at them complete and a happy family. Ang saya nilang tignan. Ang bading man pero I can't hide this envy inside me. Yes, inggit talaga ako. Dahil kahit na mag-isang anak lang ako ay hindi ko pa naranasan ang ganitong kasaya at kumpletong pamilya. Because they are always busy with their business/ lives. Tssss.
"Babe!" Nagulat ako sa pagtapik niya sa balikat ko. " what are you doing here!? You don't like barbeque? Masarap pa naman yon kasi si Mama ang nagmarinate non." Ngiting saad niya sakin.
"Later babe. " akbay ko sakanya. " i love you so much babe. And thank you "
"Duh!? Korny mo ha? Tamado ka na ba sa ininom niyo? Bat ka naman nagte-thank you!?" Tsss. This girl is really annoying. Haha! Magkatabi lang kami pero parang nasa taas ako ng puno kung kausapin ako.
"Thank you for this birthday gift..this wonderful and unforgettable night." I faked a smile.
"WHAT!!!? Birthday mo ngayon???! Bakit hindi mo sinabi!!???" Sigaw nanaman niya. Aarrrrgh!
Nagulat nalang kaming dalawa ng mabasa kami ng alak mula sa likuran namin. At pagtingin namin kung sino ang may gawa non ay ang pamilya niyang tawa ng tawa while saying : "happy happy beer day! Welcome to our family Lachlan Chua!"
And me?? I want to cry because of this happiness but I just can't dahil nahihiya ako sakanila. I just laught and say thank you to them. Ng lingunin ko si Jake sa tabi ko ay wala siya. Kaya naman naalarma ako at napatingin sa paligid at napatingin ako sa pamilya niya asking where is she.
Then I heard someone, playing a guitar palabas ng bahay nila.
There she is..
My Jake...my babe.
It took, one look
Then forever laid out infront of me
she's playing the guitar while singing and looking straight to my eyes. I didn't expect this. What I mean is that...marunong pala siyang tumugtog ng gitara at kumanta.
one smile
Then I died
Only to be revived by you
She's slowly walking towards me. While giving me her sweet smile.And shit ...I can't described what I'm feeling right now.
There i was
Thought i had everything figured out
Goes to show just how much i know
'bout the way life plays out...
I take one step away
but i find myself coming back to you
My one and only, one and only you...ooh...
Flashbacks came in my mind. Yung panahong ayaw niyang maniwala na mahal ko siya. But in the end ay pumayag din siya at ngayon nga ay kami na.
Now i know
That i know not a thing at all
Except the fact that i am yours
And that you are mine
And I'm all yours too babe. Nasabi ko sa isipan ko habang hindi inaalis ang mata ko sakanya.
Ooh
They told me that this wouldn't be easy
And no
I'm not one to complain...
I drag her into this situation na hindi pa niya nararanasan.
I take one step away
then i find myself coming back to you
My one and only, one and only you
I take one step away
but i find myself coming back to you
My one and only, one and only you...
Ngayon palang, ipinapangako ko na din sa sarili ko na ikaw lang din at wala ng iba dahil ikaw lang nakilala kong sobrang kakaiba sa lahat. At kauna-unahang minahal ko ng ganito.
She is already standing infront of me right now. And there...wearing her sweet smile again. I felt like my throat was suddenly dehydrated and I can't just utter any word. I can't speak and all I can hear right now was the loud beat of my heart and it feels like I'm gonna explode because of this too much happiness inside me.
"Happy birthday babe. Yan lang ang nakayanan ko. Ang kantahan ka at batiin ka ng 'happy birthday'. And I would like to take this, your birthday to tell you that. I am happy to have you. Even though, nagsisimula palang tayo , nangangapa pareho sa relasyong ito ay madami kana agad nagawa para sakin. Those promises na sinasabi mo na talaga namang ginagawa mo and those efforts and surprises. I can consider myself as a lucky girl because I have a boyfriend like you babe. Please promise me, you won't hurt and leave me. I love you so much. Happy birthday!" Ipinahawak niya ang gitara kay kuya Jeff at saka lumapit sakin at naramdaman ko nalang ang mabilis na pagdapo ng halik niya sa pisngi ko.
I hugged her infront of her family and: " i love you so much babe. Promise...I won't hurt and leave you. Thank you." I whispered.
