I boringly looked at the man in front of me. Is he being serious? Wala ba siyang social life o kahit man lang mga kaibigan na tinuruan siya kung paano gagawin 'to? I even scoffed to make him realize that I'm not believing what he's saying. It's just a simple game!
"Can you stop laughing?" he mumbled, sumandal siya sa sofa bago bumuntong-hininga. "I'm familiar with the game but I don't know how it works.."
I rolled my eyes before stretching my legs on the carpet. Kanina pa kami nakatambay dito sa living area ng kwarto. Hindi naman kasi ako nasabihan na kaya pala dito kami pinatutuloy eh dahil malaki ang kwarto. Seriously, this can pass up like a penthouse in the Philippines!
Sumandal ako sa paanan ng couch habang nasa tabi ko ang binti ni Kislev at preskong nakaupo sa couch. This ass! Inuna niya ako sa couch at dahil ayokong katabi siya nauwi ako sa pag-upo sa lapag. Good thing it's carpeted and I like furs.
Nilingon ko siya bago niyakag na bumaba sa carpet, it will be hard for us to play if he'll remain sitting on the couch. Baka magka-stiff neck pa ako kakalingon sa kanay ano! Kung dinadapuan na kasi sana ako ng antok ay baka kanina pa ako naghihilik sa kama. Pinilig ko ang ulo ko nang marinig na naman ang boses ni Kislev sa utak ko..
"We will sleep on the bed. Together."
God! It send shivers to my soul!
"So?" he asked while looking at me, "How does it works?"
"We're playing this game to know things about one another. It's like some game of getting to know," I started explaining the reason behind the game. Napansin ko kung paano siya tumigtig habang nagsasalita ako at binatukan nang marealize na hindi niya naman ako talaga naiintindihan
"I'm listening!" he defended while laughing
"I'll ask you twenty questions, you'll ask me twenty questions. In short, we'll both throw questions at one another."
He was looking at me intently after I explained how the game works, nang matapos ay tumahimik na ako para bigyan siya ng oras paano maintindihan ang tinutukoy kong laro. I just wanted to kill the boredom! Baka sakaling mapagod din ako at makatulog. "So, that's it?"
Tumango ako, "May iba ka pa bang larong gusto?" I boringly asked. Nakakahiya naman baka may idea pala siya.
Umiling siya bago tumayo mula sa kinauupuan namin at dumiretso sa kusina. Tignan mo iyon! Bigla bigla na lang umaalis! Pinikit ko ang mata ko at sinubukang matulog. Kung ayaw niyang makipaglaro ay pwede naman niyang sabihin ng ayos, hindi iyon basta niya ako iiwan dito! I keep on cursing him on my head when I heard a glass clinked, dumilat ako at nakita kong naglapag siya ng dalawang wine glass at isang bote ng DeLoach Maboroshi Pinot Noir.
Tumaas ang kilay ko habang pinagmamasdan siya. May dala pa siyang bag of chips at akala mo ay magpipicnic kami sa gagawin niya. He opened the bottle of Pinot Noir before pouring some wine on the glass. He placed one in front of me. He also offered the chips which I gladly took before he started to settle down in front of me, sitting with his crossed legs.
"Game. I'm going first!" Hindi pa man din ako nakakarecover sa biglaan niyang pagsang-ayon sa laro ay nagsimula na siya. I sipped a wine while listening to him.
"Why are you like that?" I raised my brow upon hearing his questions. What does he mean by that? Nang hindi ko maintindihan ang gusto niyang iparating ay inulit niya muli ang tanong.
"Why are you like some bitch who's always fuming mad? That's not a new question, by the way. Inulit ko lang." he quickly explained
What the hell? He's so hard! Bakit naman ganun ang klaseng tanong ang tinanong niya?! Imagine, this is yet his first question! Paano pa ang mga susunod? Puro pang-iinsulto lang ata ang makukuha ko sa larong ito!
"I'm not a b—"
"Just answer." malamig niyang utas
Bumuntong hininga ako bago nagsalita, "Everyone left me. So I guess being a bitch attracts people to be close to me. I don't care if they'd turn and stab me on my back. Sanay naman na ako eh. I'm living with it for the past 4 years?"
It's true right. You can't please everyone. You can be a saint for all I care—if people hates you, they'd stab you. That's how life goes.
Tumango siya bilang sagot and I guess it the cue na ako naman ang magtanong? I ate the chips while thinking a question. Every question counts!
"Bakit ka galit sa akin?" I don't know why, pero yun ang unang lumabas sa bibig ko.
"Ako galit? Hindi naman ah." sagot niya
"Tss, you've got to be kidding me. Bakit nga kasi? I can feel it, you're mad." I confirmed
"That's your 2nd question," he winked, shit! Nautakan ako dun ah.
"I'm not mad, ayoko lang talaga sa ugali mo. I don't know why, pero kapag nakikita kita laging nangingibabaw yung pakiramdam na dapat galit ako sayo." Nagkibit-balikat siya. Hindi ko alam pero nilagok ko ang laman nung wine glass bago nilapag sa lamesa. I tried hard not to make a face but I failed. Ang tapang!
Inalala ko ang naging sagot niya sa akin and I know right then that I was stunned by his answer. I wasn't expecting that one. Akala ko mababaw lang yung dahilan but knowing that whenever he sees me, anger ang nararamdaman niya. I felt a pang in my chest but I ignored it, maybe it's just the wine...
"Okay, ako naman." he broke the silence, "Bakit ka nanliligaw ng mga lalaki?" Agad napataas ang kilay ko sa tanong niya. Oh boy, I guess this game is interesting..
"Pake mo ba?" nakalabi kong asar
"That's your 3rd question. May pake ako, so ano nga?"
"3rd question." panghuhuli ko, binelatan ko siya bago sumagot, "Well, I love courting them kasi naiinis ako sa mga lalaki na walang kwenta. Gusto kong ipadama sa kanila kung paano naman kapag babae ang nanligaw. And I guess my plan turns out great. Kasi nalaman ko na uhaw pala ang mga lalaki na makipagrelasyon lalo na kapag babae na ang nagyayaya sa kanila. Para bang end of the world niyo na kapag hindi niyo sasagutin yung babaeng nanligaw sa inyo."
"Hoy, wag mong lahatin. I'm an exception."
"Exception mo mukha mo!" patawa kong pagtataray. Oo ako lang nakakagawa nun, may reklamo?
"So, kamusta na kayo ni Ysabelle your loves?" natatawa kong tanong
"First, she's not my loves. Second, we're not together anymore.." walang emosyon niyang sabi
Napatunganga ako dahil sa sinabi niya. Wala na daw sila ni Ysabelle? Kaya naman pala naging ganun na ang ugali. Poor girl, masyado atang nasaktan kay Kislev. Then I remember our last encounter in the comfort room, kaya ba siya umiiyak? But why the hell did she shout at me? As if naman ako ang dahilan ng break- up nila?
"Sarado mo, baka may tumulo. My turn." aniya, "Nagkaboyfriend ka na ba?"
Silence immediately filled the place. I thought this game would be interesting because I want to get to know him. It may not look that we're not okay together but with the months I had with him during the practices made me realize that he's a good person. Well, except for the fact that he likes teasing and make me mad. Pero ang makarating sa puntong ito ang mga gusto niyang alamin, I don't think I can open up. Not now.
"Hey, are you okay?" hinuhuli niya ang tingin ko pero iniwas ko iyon. Ayokong makita niya yung emotion ng mga mata ko.. bago niya pa mahuli ang tingin ko ay mabilis akong tumayo ako dumiretso sa kwarto. I shut the door and immediately fell on my knees. I tried my best not to cry so I placed both my hands near my mouth to stifle every cries. I hate myself for being affected after all this time!
Hindi ko alam kung paano ako nakarating sa kama nang maayos. I just felt the soft mattress and I know that my eyes were swollen from crying. The next day, I woke up with a heavy feeling and body. Ramdam ko ang bigat nang nakapulupot sa akin. My hands went down to my stomach and I almost gasped when I felt an arm.
Kaya pala pakiramdam ko ay hindi ako makakilos! I squinted my eyes and looked at the curtains, it already bright so I assumed it's nearing lunch. There's no way in hell that it's still early in the morning since I remember falling asleep around 4 in the morning. Sinubukan kong gumalaw para makawala sa pagkakayakap ni Kislev sa akin pero humigpit lang iyon. I tried to weigh if he's already awake but after a minute of waiting, I heard no response.
I closed my eyes and remembered what happened yesterday. We were getting along and then the next thing I know, I'm shutting the door. Pakiramdam ko ay ang sama ko. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin kayang mag-open sa tao. When I felt Kislev's heavy breathing, sinubukan ko muling umalis sa higaan at naging matagumpay ako doon.
I watched Kislev moved,. When I was sure that he's still asleep, I tiptoed my way outside the room. Pagkalabas ay saka lang ako nakahinga ng maluwag, I clutched my chest. We slept together in one bed! Hindi ko matandaan kung paano siya tumabi sa akin, siguro ay sa sobrang pagod ng katawan ay nakatulog ako ng malalim. That arse! Sinabi ko nang huwag siyang tumabi sa akin!
Mabilis akong dumiretso sa kusina para uminom ng tubig. I was about to prepare breakfast when I realized that I'm not a condo unit or at home. Nasa hotel nga pala ako. I quickly looked for my phone and messaged Paris. Wala pang ilang minuto ay nagreply din siya pero sumakit lang ang ulo ko dahil sa nabasa!
Paris:
Kanina pa kami tumatawag sa inyong dalawa! Masyado naman ata kayong nag-enjoy matulog. Nasa Louvre na kami nila Madame at nag-iikot. Sumunod na lang kayo o hindi kaya ay gumala kayo. Kislev has a car, you'll be fine!
Sumulyap ako sa pintuan ng kwarto. Should I wake him up? Pero malalaman niyang alam kong natulog kaming magkatabi! How should I act? It's normal, right? Besides, we didn't do anything aside from sleeping! Bakit ng aba ako nababahala? Baka mamaya ay akalain niyang apektado akong nangyaring pagtulog! Minsan pa naman ay assumero si Kislev.
I marched back to the room and found Kislev sitting up from the bed. Agad akong nag-iwas nang tingin dahil sa ginawa niya. I noticed how his body flexed the moment he got up from the bed. God! Bakit ba hilig ng mga lalaking matulog ng walang damit?
"Good morning," he greeted, huskily
Lord!
"G-good morning.." tumikhim ako para itago ang kabab ago siya hinarap. Kahit nakakadistract ang katawan niya ay sinubukan kong manatiling kalmado. I kept this poker face as I told him my plans
"Move fast, we're going out. I'm hungry!" Mabilis kong nilakad ang distansya ng pintuan papuntang banyo at sinara ko iyon agad bago sinandal ang likuran sa pintuan. I did great, right? Hindi naman siguro halata ang pagiging kabado ko?
After showering, I just grabbed a pair of skinny jeans and white mandarin top. I finished my wardrobe with a white scarf and wore a knee-high black boots. I was blowering my hair when I heard the door opened, nakita ko mula sa vanity mirror si Kislev na pumasok ng bathroom para maligo. I continued dressing up and when I was already contented with how I looked, I left the room and waited for him outside. Hindi ako handang makitang lumabas siya ng kwarto na tanging tuwalya lang ang nakapulupot!
"Where'd you want to go?" Kislev asked as he maneuvered the car away from the Hotel. Sinilip ko ang cellphone ko pero wala pa ring reply si Paris magmula kanina. Hindi ko alam kung nasa Louvre pa rin sila.
"I'm hungry, let's just grab some food." I stated which he agreed to. Hindi ko alam kung saan niya balak kumain. Hindi pa ako gaanong pamilyar dito dahil isang beses pa lang ako nakapunta dito. I was busy listening to the music and enjoying the busy streets of Paris when Kislev pulled over near Les Halles.
Sinulyapan ko siya pero tahimik lang siya. Bumaba siya ng sasakyan at pinagbuksan ako ng pintuan. I muttered my thanks before roaming my eyes around the place. It's so beautiful! When I heard the car door shut and beeped. Naramdaman ko ang paglapit ni Kislev, how come he knows the place so much?
We were walking side by side towards the restaurant he's been talking about when I asked something, "How did you know the places around here?"
Lumiko siya sa isang street kaya sumunod lang ako doon. Natanaw ko ang natatangin restaurant na sigurado akong pupuntahan namin. Pirouette. "I studied it before we came here." He shrugged before pulling the door for me.
We were assisted inside the restaurant, it was jampacked—far from what I expected. The waiter waited as he handed us the menu. Sisilip pa lang ako doon nang magsalita si Kislev,
"2 flank steak, medium rare." Dire-diretso niyang order. He didn't even glanced at me to ask for what I wanted to eat! Inis kong sinarado ang menu bago iniabot 'yun sa waiter.
"Thank you for asking my order," ngumiti ako ng pagkalaki-laki, sana naman maramdaman niyang sarcastic 'yun.
Ngumisi siya bago sumagot, "You're always welcome!"
Tignan mo 'to!
I was about to retort back when the waiter came back and handed us balloons. Wait, what is this for? "Hi Madamé, Hi Sir" ngumiti yung waiter, "You will witness a proposal later. What you need to do is to give the balloon to the girl once she arrives. Thank you!" sambit nito bago umalis siya para ibigay at ipaliwanag sa iba ang gagawin.
Napatingin ako sa hawak na lobo. It is in heart shape and has ruffles below it. Mukhang pinaghandaan. How sweet.
Yuck.
"Stop staring at the balloon. Talk to me," napatunganga ako sa sinabi ni Kislev
Naubos ang oras namin sa pagdadaldalan, hindi ko alam na may lihim na kaingayan din pala ang ugok na 'to, akalain mong ang dami niyang ipon na kwento! Ilang beses nga lang siyang natatahimik kapag ako na ang nagsasalita, if I know, nagagandahan lang siya sa akin.
Natigil lang kami sa pag-uusap nung dumating ang mga orders namin, like the usual treatment, galit galit muna kami dahil may pagkain. I'm not yet done with the food when I felt him staring at me.
"What?" I asked while chewing the food, umiling lang siya bago sumimsim sa juice na in-order.
I was about to raise my hand for the bill when Kislev pulled it down, mataman niya akong tinignan bago nilipat sa lobo. "Later. Remember what the waiter said? We're part of the plan. So, we'll stay." Parang kanina lang pangiti-ngiti pa siya tapos ngayon ang sungit na! Daig pa babaeng naglilihi at matandang nag-menopause eh!
"Are you serious? We're still going to roam around! Hindi pa ba dadatng yung lintik na bab—" he covered my mouth as the lights dim and the door slowly opened.
I watched how the girl's face turned from smiling to surprised. I can even hear her silent cries while walking down the path prepared for her. I made face because her face looks awful. Halatang pilit ang itsura na mukhang nasupresa. Kahit sino naman ata iisipin na may surprise. Duh?
Sinong nagreresto na nakadim lights?
Nilipat ko ang tingin sa lalaking naghanda ng proposal. Nakangiti siya at kinaway pa ang babae. I tried so hard not roll my eyes but I just can't help it.
"Now's not the right time to be a bitch, Jasmine.." Kislev pleaded
The song started to play and at the same time, I froze. Fuck, what a song. Sa lahat lahat ng kanta bakit 'yan pa?
God Jasmine, you don't own the world. Wala kang pake kung dahil sa lintek na kantang 'yan eh nagmamahalan sila, won't you stop being so childish and bitter?
I gulped the water in front of me and tried to calm down. Okay, Jasmine. All you have to do is turn your back from this restaurant and run. Don't be stupid. Pero imbes na gumalaw sa kinauupuan ay mas lalo lang akong natigilan doon nang nagsimula na ang kanta..
Four letter word
But I don't have the guts to say it
Fuck! Can anyone stop the music, right now?!
Smile 'til it hurts
Let's not make it complicated
"Hi, thank yo—"
Binitawan ko yung lobo. Ayoko na, hindi ako tatagal dito. Tumayo ako at agad na tumakbo papunta sa restroom kahit na lumapit na sa akin yung babae para kunin yung balloon na parte ng planong proposal nung lalaki sa kanya. Ayoko, ayokong marinig yung kantang 'yun. Ayoko...
"Hey! Don't cover my eyes!" inis na tugon ko dun sa taong nagtatakip ng mga mata ko
Kanina pa ako tinutulak ng kung sino sino. Nakakainis na siya, he/she is ruining my uniform! Nasa school grounds pa naman kami! Bakit ko ba kasi naisipang sumama pa dun sa mga kaibigan ko na nagsitakbuhan dahil meron daw nagkakagulo dun sa lobby. That's why I just found myself being pulled by a person whom I don't know!
Paano na lang kung may virus siya? Mahahawaan ako! No way!
"Haba ng hair natin ah," I heard the person chuckled, parang lalaki yung boses niya eh, nasaan na ba talaga kasi kami?
Nang maramdaman kong tumigil na kami sa paglalakad ay mabilis akong humiwalay sa nagdala sa akin at hinablot ang kamay niyang nagtatakip sa mata ko. But the moment I saw what's in front of me, I quickly regret what I did. Sana pala ay hindi ko na lang tinanggal.
I found myself, covering my mouth because of what I'm seeing. My heart raced so fast that I felt the need of air. Mabilis kong pinaypayan ang sarili gamit ang mga kamay bago sinilip ang tingin sa mga taong nasa paligid. Oh my god!
You're perfect for me
And more than just a friend
So we can just stop pretending now
"Enjoy Jasmine!" someone whispered, then pushed me to the center stage
Ang daming tao...
Ang daming bulaklak...
That music...
The boy in front me... is serenading me...
Oh my god! He's really serenading me!
"Pare! Lakas mo talaga!" I jumped out of shock dahil sa sumigaw, I bet that's Tristan 'yun pa, kalalaking tao grabe mag-eskandalo
Napailing na lang ako sa naisip ko at hinddi ko na napigilan ang luhang kanina pa namumuo sa mga mata ko. This guy is making me fall again and again and again..
I'll be your shelter
I'll be your storm
I'll make you shiver
Unti-unti siyang lumapit sa akin habang kumakanta at may hawak na mic. He was holding a bouquet on his left arm. He never fails to treat me like her princess. He chuckled when he saw me crying, inirapan ko siya kahit na umiiyak.
Lumingon ako sa gilid at nakita ko si Natasha, kasama ang ilan naming mga kaklase, she's smiling at me. I waived my hand at her then she raised her thumbs and gesturing me to turn my back. I nodded as she smiled again. But something's wrong, her smile doesn't reach her eyes. May problema kaya siya? I saw her walk-run towards the field para makaalis sa lobby. May hinahabol ba siya o tinatakbuhan man lang?
Napailing ako habang hinaharap ang sorpresang hinanda ni Tyrone. Maybe I'll just talk to her later, I just can't miss this moment..
Ilang araw ko ring hindi nakausap si Tyrone dahil sobrang busy na kasi ng graduating year namin in highschool kaya naging limited ang oras namin para magkita. Pero nitong mga nakaraan ay nakaraos na kami from schoolworks and yet hindi pa siya nakikipagcontact sa akin. Kaya naman pala eh, naiintindihan ko na dahil dito sa sorpresa niya sa akin.
All I know is that whatever happens, I will always love him. Tyrone will always be the love of my life.
He stood in front of me, with a big smile etched on his face. We're looking at each other eyes like we are the only people in the place. Kahit na rinig na rinig ko ang hiyawan at tilian ng mga tao sa paligid ay mas nabibingi ako sa bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Sa sobrang bilis ay parang gusto ko na lang matapos ang lahat ng ito at yakapin siya.
I suddenly remember Mommy's words to me...
"Your heart speaks louder than anyone or anything else."
He mouthed the words I wanted to hear clearly, a smile grew on my face. Then he continued singing..
I'll keep you warm
Whatever weather
Baby I'm yours
Baby I'm yours.. I will forever be yours..
He closed the distance between the two of us and rested his forehead next to mine, ngumiti ako. I'll always love this kind of feeling he's giving me. Para akong nasa cloud nine, palaging may fireworks! He sang the last line that made my heart skip a beat...
Be your forever, be your fling
Baby I will be your everything
He sighed heavily before looking at me in the eye, "I love you..."
I love you more, Tyrone. So much more!
Everybody clapped their hands in chorus like we were newlyweds who just kissed in front of everyone. Iyon nga lang eh nasa school grounds kami kaya bawal ang ki—
Shit.
He grinned, "Strike one." he kissed my forehead
Strike one?
"Strike two." He kissed my cheeks, halos malunod na ako sa paraan ng pagtingin niya sa akin. I pursed my lips as I expected what will happen next. Hindi ba kami mahuhuli dito?
He caressed my lips, making me close my eyes.. Is this it?
Because I know, he's the it for me...
Napadilat na lang ako nang marinig ang mahina niyang pagtawa. He winked at me before facing everyone. He greeted everyone with the microphone he's holding, halos lahat ng babae eh mangisay na sa kilig dahil sa simpleng ginawa niya. I guess that's the effect of a heartthrob?
Too bad, he's stucked with me. Ako ang pinili siya, duh. I'm so beautiful kaya, kidding!
"This.." he draped his arm over my shoulders, "This girl is mine! Akin lang siya! Akin lang si Jasmine. This would be my promise to her, that we will end up together for the rest of our lives!"
I'll build my forever and lifetime and eternity with you... My Tyrone...
"No!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, napalingon ang lahat ng tao doon. I was already crying. "No, ayoko na please.." I felt Kislev's hand holding mine but the moment it touched, I flinched.
Iniatras ko ang upuan at mabilis na tinakbo ang restroom. I can't go out of the restaurant because I don't know where to go. I need comfort, I just don't want to see the proposal. Pakiramdam ko ay pag-uusapan ng lahat ang ginawa kong iskandalo pero hindi ko talaga kaya..
I closed the door and immediately sat on the floor. I cried my heart out. It breaks my heart while hearing everything. I just wanted to be happy but he chose to break my heart. Where was his promise of keeping me happy? I was left alone, scared to love again, hurt. While he was out there, enjoying his life. Why is he so unfair?
I continued to murmur words that are inaudible to hear. Napatalon ako sa sunod sunod na kalampag ng pintuan, pero binalewala ko iyon. I want to be alone.. I don't fucking care kung may gustong mag-CR, wala akong papapasukin kahit na si—
"Jasmine!" he slammed the door open making me crying again.
Why am I so weak? Okay na ako, hindi ba? Kailan ba ako lulubayan ng sakit na ito. I used to be strong because I was raised strong by my Dad... When Mommy left us, Daddy was our pillar of strength. Kaya simula noon ay pinalaki na niya kaming matatag. Pero bakit kayang kaya sirain iyon ng taong hindi naman ako pinahalagahan?
Bakit sa tuwing sinisikap kong maging malakas, lumalabas pa rin yung mga kahinaan ko sa tuwing naaalala ko siya... Everytime I think and reminisce our past, the promises we've made, the future we ought to build together, I just feel despair. I'm longing for affection, but nobody gave me that..
Sa isang pitik lang, everything was gone. Our forever was gone, our future was gone, our promises were broken, he's gone...
"Fuck, I'm here." He hushed me, binalot niya ako ng mahigpit na yakap. I leaned my body to him, my guards went down the moment I've felt his presence.
Only Kislev can do that to me...
"You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now... I'm not going to leave you." He whispered
Imbes na tumahan ay mas lalo akong naiyak, this is what I need right now. A comforting arms, a shoulder to cry on. Yung natatakbuhan ko lalo na kapag patong-patong na ang mga problema ko sa buhay.
At first I thought it was my mom who'll be by my side forever pero mali ako, iniwan niya din kami just like what Tyrone did. At hindi ko naman alam kung bakit sa tuwing malungkot ako, sa tuwing umiiyak ako, sa tuwing nasasaktan ako, sa tuwing nag-iisa ako... laging si Kislev yung nandyan para sa akin. He's like my superhero!
Bakit ba kasi ganyan siya? He's always showing me care and love pero lagi naman niya akong binubuwisit—hindi ko malaman kung in denial lang ba siya or he's just playing with my feelings...
Sinubsob ko ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya as I slowly stopped crying. I love how his arms are wrapped around my body. I shouldn't be feeling anything but all I felt was security. His hugs felt like I was in cloud nine, then there's the fireworks...
Déjà vu
I didn't notice that the restroom's door was left ajar so I can still hear the instrumentals from here. I was on the verge of crying again but Kislev said something that made everything around me stop.
Natigil ako sa pag-iyak. Tanging mga hikbi na lang ang naririnig sa akin. He was fixing my hair when I felt body froze. My heart stopped as I heard him say..
"Baby I will be your everything.."
He sang the last line of the song... He replaced the old disastrous memory of that song with a romantic one. I caught myself crying again, not in pain, but in tears of joy.
Finally, he earned my trust. He earned my respect and most of all, he earned my heart...
I don't know but I felt like sleeping. Sa sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam ng mga yakap niya ay parang gusto ko na lang matulog at kalimutan ang lahat. I was about to close my eyes but I heard him whisper something...
"I'm here, Jasmine.. I will always be here.. so just choose me. Just be mine.."
Napangiti ako nang mapait sa mga narinig, my heart was beating so fast.. like it's telling me that this is it.
Sana nga ikaw na lang, Kislev
