DANIEL POV
What did she said? No… no… It can’t be. So totoo nga? Yung mga nababasa ko sa wattpad? Yung mga arranged marriage? Totoo yon?
NO!
Parang iniisip ko lang na mawawala si Ice, ang sakit sakit na. Ayoko. Please. Gusto kong umiyak. Gusto kong magwala. No.. please.. tell me, it’s just a dream right? RIGHT?!
“Alodia!” sigaw ni Ice. Yung mga parents naman ni Ice nakatingin sa akin.
It means… ayaw talaga nila sa akin? Meaning.. ako yung mahal ni Ice pero sa iba siya ikakasal? Meaning.. maghihiwalay kami ni Ice?
No..
“HAHAHA! Joke! I’m not her fiancée! Natatawa ako sayo sis, paiyak ka na, of course not! Sinong papatol sa lalaking minsan lang magsalita at boring kasama? No way! HAHAHA” natatawang sabi ni Alodia.
Gusto kong sabihin…
“Ako.. ako.. mamahalin ko si Ice kahit boring siyang kasama… kahit minsan lang siya magsalita kasi.. mahal ko siya.. kasi alam ko sa sarili kong, wala ng iba, si Ice lang” proud na proud kong sagot. Geez! Gusto kong palakpakan ang sarili ko! BWAHAHAHAH!
Mahigpit na hinawakan ni Ice ang kamay ko. It’s like he’s telling me a sincere… thank you.
“Wow, this lady must really love you Kiel, be sure to treasure her anak, hija, si Alodia, kapatid siya ni Ice, were sorry, she really loves to tease people, sorry hija” nakangiting sabi sa akin nung papa ni Ice.
Ibig sabihin ba tanggap nila ako?! WAAAAAAAAAH! I CAN’T BREATHE! xD
“You’re really beautiful hija, call me tita Beth okay? Kiel dear, nasaan ang kapatid mo?” Wow! Maganda daw ako?! TOTOO?! WAAAH! Thank you Sae! I love you super! xD
“He’s here already” pagkasabi ni Ice yon, he vowed and then hinigit niya ako. Tumungo din ako sa parents ni Ice at kay Alodia. Grabe. Akala ko kung ano na eh. Haaaays!
Pumunta kami sa isang table kung nasaan andun halos lahat ng B7. Kahit pala nalate kami ni Ace eh hindi pa pala nag sstart yung party,ngayon pa lang. Okay, ang party ay nagaganap sa garden nina Ice. OKAY. Mala mansion ang bahay nila, kasing laki lang ng bahay namin, no, I think mas malaki yung sa kanila. Anyway, mayroong mahabang stairs sa gitna na kitang kita ng lahat, naka red carpet pa. Ano to, HOLLYWOOD?! =.= Herher. Natatawa ako sa sarili ko xD
Nakaupo lang kami ni Ice, holding hands of course, nasa front row kami, syempre, kapatid niya ang may birthday.. tsaka ako yung girlfriend niya kaya kailangan andito din ako. BWAHAHAHA!XD
“And now, here is the lovely, Ms. Alodia Marie Ravena, with her brother Ace Ashton Ravena, Alodia is now already turning 21, and she’s really pretty, right everyone? “ Nagpalakpakan na ang mga tao. Kahit ako pumalakpak, syempre naman diba? =.= Ang ganda talaga ni Alodia. Akala ko talaga fiancée siya ni Ice xD
Si Ace..
Is that right? I just saw him… staring at me.
xXx
After 1 hour.
Hindi naman boring yung party pero hindi pa din ako nag eenjoy, wow, malapit na akong mag 18 -.- Mukhang walang nakakaalala. Tamo, wala man lang bumabati sa akin ng advance, masyado kasi silang enjoy na enjoy dito sa party ni Alodia.
At nasaan na ba ang walanghiyang Ice na yon? Tama ba namang iwanan ako dito?! Siguro may kasama yung babae! T.T Waaaaah! NO WAY!!
Ice~ Namimiss na kaagad kita eh. XD
Everyone started to clear the dance floor. At tumugtog ang isang romantic song.
Everybody wants to be loved
Every once in a while
We all need someone to hold onto
Just like a helpless child, yeah
Dahan dahang lumapit sa akin si Ice, from nowhere, then he stared at me. Ngumiti siya bago niya nilahad ang kanyang kamay.
“Would you care for a dance milady?” >////< Ehmehged. Kekekeleg! xD Ene be teng nengyeyere seken? Ehehehe.
Can you whisper in my ear
Let me know it's alright
It's been a long time coming
Down this road
And now I know
What I've been waitin' for
And like a lonely highway
I'm tryin' to get home
Ooo, love's been a long time comin'
Madami na din ang nagsasayaw. Ice took me in the middle. Hindi ko ma explain ang feeling ko. Ang saya saya. Parang ayoko nang matapos. After everything I went through, akala ko, hanggang tingin na lang ako sa kanya. Ganito pala kasarap ang mainlove noh? Si Ike kasi iniwan ako. Pero now, I have Ice. I have him. And I won’t let him go.
You can love for a lifetime
You can love for a day
You can think you've got everything
But everything is nothing
When you throw it away, yeah
Then look in my eyes
And I have it all once again
It's been a long time comin'
Down this road
And now I know
What I've been waitin' for
“ I love you Marjorie Daniella Lee” he whispered in my ears. Ang sarap pakinggan. Kahit paulit ulit niyang sabihin, hindi ako mag sasawa, dahil sobrang mahal ko siya.
“I love you too, Ice” mahal na mahal kita Ice. At hindi ko makakaya kung mawawala ka pa sa akin. Sa wakas, lahat ng pag hihirap ko, lahat ng sakit na naramdaman ko, nawala nang lahat. Because my happiness, is now in front of me.
It's like a lonely highway
I'm tryin' to get home
Ooo, love's been a long time comin'
Didn't know I was lost
Til you found me, uh huh
Didn't know I was blind
But now I see
“Ano bang nagustuhan mo sa akin? Hindi naman ako kagandahan ah, mas maganda naman si Hannah di ba? Pwede ko bang malaman.. why me Ice?” diretsa akong nakatingin sa mga mata niya. Those eyes, hinding hindi ko pag sasawaang tingnan.
“It’s because you are Daniella. You’re you. And I love you” wow ang haba noh? HAHAHA. Pero okay lang, kahit hindi magaling sa words si Ice, he can show his love to me through his actions. And that is enough.
“Ice.. mahal na mahal kita” yumakap siya sa akin ng mahigpit.
“Mahal na mahal din kita.. Daniella”
Can you whisper in my ear?
Let me know it's alright
It's been a long time comin'
Down this road
And now I know
What I've been searchin' for
Oooh, been a long long highway
And now I see
Ooo, love's been a long time
Oooh been a long time
Love's been a long time comin'
Nang matapos ang kanta hindi kami umalis ni Ice sa pwesto namin. Everyone is looking at us.
Ice looked at me, with full of love and passion, and then, he grabs my waist, leaning to me, closer and closer, until he claim my lips with his. I will never forget this day, when Ice showed to the world, how much he loves me.
May bumabang lalaki na may hawak na microphone, at binigay niya ito kay Ice. Humiwalay siya sa akin ng konti but still holding my hand.
“I’m sorry Alodia for interrupting your party pero hindi na ako makapag hintay talaga” he said with the microphone.
“As always, ok fine dear brother, you are forgiven and oh, you are one heck of a lucky girl Daniella, ngayon lang nangyari na mayat maya ang pagsasalita ni Ice, hindi na siya pipi! HAHAHAHAHA” si Alodia naka microphone din. Nakatingin sa akin si Ice, it’s like his eyes were glued on mine.
Slow motion na lumuhod si Ice sa harap ko. There was a spotlight, only, to the both of us.
Wala akong makita kundi si Ice. Siya lang.
And my tears started to flow, walang tigil. Yung puso ko, walang tigil sa bilis ng tibok niya.
“This is for your birthday actually, when you turn 18, pero.. I really want to tell you right now”
I’m really happy that time. Parang ayaw matapos ng kasiyahan ko. May kinuha si Ice sa bulsa niya. A box. Iniharap niya ito sa akin, and when he opened it, it was a wonderful diamond ring, simple yet elegant.
“All those times na nasasaktan kita, I want you to know na nasasaktan din ako, because Daniella, I love you, since I’ve known you, mahal na mahal na kita. Matagal ko nang gustong sabihin yon sayo, at ngayon, hindi na ako magpapaligoy ligoy pa.. Please say yes before I ask..” natawa ang mga tao sa kanya pero nagpalakpakan sila.
Thank you stars, Thank you for giving me my wish, Thank you for giving me my Ice.
“Wag kang demanding, magtanong ka muna” I said with a very large smile on my face.
“Marjorie Daniella Lee, ang dami kong kasalanan sayo pero.. pwede mo bang tanggapin yung puso ko bilang kapalit, kaya mo bang tanggapin na makasama ako habang buhay as an exchange for everything I have done, will you be my everything?
Will you marry me?”
Walang hanggang pumapatak ang luha ko. My happiness, my everything, my dreams, nasa harap ko na siya.
“ I will accept you and only you Ice Ezekiel Ravena, Yes, I will marry you” At lahat ng tao nagpalakpakan. At nag sigawan. Pero ngayon, si Ice lang yung nakikita ko.
Ice.
He’s my everyting.
He stood up and kiss me again, with so much more love and passion. With all his heart and mine.
Hindi na siya yung Ice na tinitingnan ko lang, Hindi na siya yung Ice na nasasaktan ako pag nakikita ko ,Hindi na siya yung Ice na kinaiinisan ko, Hindi na siya yung Ice na pinapangarap ko.
Dahil ngayon, he’s mine. His heart. His love. Akin na. Hinding hindi ko na sasabihin ang mga katagang “ Akin ka na lang Ice” dahil ngayon,
Akin na siya. I love him. I love the man who proposed to me on the birthday of her sister. I love the man who is standing in front of me. & I love this man, who I want to be with. Forever.
