"Oy Meng bumangon ka nga dyan."
"Hmmmm."
"Ay so tinotoo mo ngang makikipagdate ka sa kama mo ngayon? Hapon na Meng oh! Bumangon ka na dyan daliiiii." Pilit na ginising ni Coleen ang kapatid pero ayaw pa rin nito.
"Sige ka si RJ paaakyatin ko dito. Tignan lang natin kung di maturn-off sa'yo yun."
Biglang napabangon si Maine. "Nandito si Faulkerson ngayon?"
"Joke lang. Sinabi ko lang yun para tumayo ka na dyan." Inis na bumalik sa kama si Maine. "Tumayo ka na dyan may inuutos si Nanay."
"E bat di nalang ikaw gumawa. Inaantok pa ko oh."
"Hoy Menggay kanina ka pa tulog ng tulog dyan. Bukas mo na ituloy 'yan. Dalian mo may date pa kami ni Mike mamaya. Kayo ba ng shokoy mo meron?"
"Wala. Busy yun ngayon. Tsaka dinate nya na ko kahapon diba? Sige na bababa na ko. Istorbo ka talaga. Sana di matuloy date niyo ni Mike."
"Bitter ka lang! Dali na at kanina ka pa iniintay ni Nanay dun."
Labag man sa kalooban, pinilit na bumangon ni Maine at dumiretso sa banyo. Wala talaga siyang balak kumilos sa araw na 'to pero wala naman siyang magawa dahil may inuutos si Nanay.
"Hi 'nak! Happy Valentines!" Sinalubong siya ng yakap ng Nanay niya. "Busangot 'yang mukha mo?"
"Inaantok pa kasi ako nay. Pero happy valentine's din. San kayo magdedate ni Tatay? Tsaka bat parang walang tao dito?"
"Dito lang sa bahay nak. Yung mga Ate mo may date. Si Nico umalis din tapos si Dean nagpaalam kanina. Nagtataka nga ako bat naiwan ka dito eh. Wala ba kayong date ni Richard?"
"Busy yun 'nay eh." Lumungkot na naman siya. "Ano nga pala yung iuutos niyo?"
"Malay mo meron siyang surpresa sayo. Imposible namang wala." Nanay Dub gave her a smile. "E si Ninang Christine mo tumawag kanina. May ibibigay daw siya. E kaso sabi ko may date nga kami ng tatay mo. Sabi niya kung pwedeng ikaw nalang daw ang kumuha. Okay lang ba 'nak?"
"Matitiis ko ba naman kayo? Nasan po ba siya?"
"Eto yung lugar nak. I-google map mo nalang kasi di ko alam 'yan."
"Okay po. Punta na ko baka kasi gabihin ako. Pasabi nalang kay Tatay. Love you." She grabbed her keys and kissed her Mom goodbye.
•
"Eto na ba yun?" She carefully parked her car and checked kung nasa tamang lugar ba siya. She saw the sign. The Greenery. "Eto na nga yun."
Pagpasok niya, may lumapit sa kanyang staff ng hotel. "Welcome po, Ma'am."
"Thank you. Uhm, alam nyo ba kung nasan dito si Mrs. Babao? Pinapunta niya kasi ako dito and.."
"This way po." Naweirduhan naman siya dun sa staff na parang alam ng dadating siya. Habang naglalakad, naamaze na naman siya sa ganda ng view ng lugar. Sa Bulacan lang naman ito pero bakit ngayon nya lang ito nakita?
"Nandito na po tayo. Enjoy your date Ma'am."
"Oy teka Kuya san ka pupunta!" Iniwan na siya nung staff. Date? Wala naman siyang kadate dito. Inutusan lang naman siya na pumunta dito. At panong magkakaroon siya ng date eh busy nga yung dapat sanang ka-date niya.
"Hi Miss. Nawawala ka yata. Gusto mo samahan kita?"
"Kuya san ba dito yung-" Napalingon siya sa nagsalita at nagulat ng nakita niya kung sino ito. "Alden! Anong ginagawa mo dito?"
"Miss, di Alden ang pangalan ko. You must be mistaken. I'll just introduce myself. I'm Richard. Richard Faulkerson, Jr. Nice to meet you. You are?"
Inilahad ni Alden ang kamay niya kay Maine. Natatawa naman niyang inabot ito. "Mga pakulo mo Alden ha. Pero sige pagbibigyan kita. Hi. I'm Nicomaine. Nicomaine Dei Mendoza. Nice to meet you too."
"A beautiful name for a beautiful lady. Nicomaine. Parang bagay din sa Faulkerson. Nicomaine Faulkerson. Bagay oh."
"Bolero ka Richard. Sige, I'll gotta go now. May hinahanap pa kasi ako." She started walking away but Alden stopped her.
"Nasa harap mo na ko maghahanap ka pa ba ng iba? Tutal wala ka namang kasama, will you be my date tonight?"
"Hmmm, pag-iisipan ko."
"Bakit, may magagalit ba?"
"May date kasi dapat ako ngayon." Kumunot ang noo ni Alden at nagpatuloy na magsalita si Maine. "Si Alden Richards. Kaso masyadong busy eh, kaya dinate ko nalang yung kama ko."
"Iwanan mo na yun si Alden Richards. Ako nalang i-date mo. Mas gwapo naman ako dun."
"E si Alden artista yun e. Sayang."
"Si Alden artista, ako na si Richard totoo. Walang acting. Lahat ng makikita mo sakin ngayon, totoo. Gusto kong patunayan sayo na yung intensyon ko sayo e bilang si Richard Faulkerson, hindi si Alden Richards. Si Richard Faulkerson Jr. na ang nakikita lang ngayon ay si Nicomaine Mendoza. Hindi si Alden Richards na dinidiktahan para kay Divina."
"Hoy Faulkerson ano ba 'to! Pinapaiyak mo naman ako eh." Pinalo niya si Alden sa braso at natawa lang ito.
"Happy Valentine's day, love." Kinuha ni Alden yung panyo sa bulsa niya at tinakip sa mata ni Maine.
"Oy ano 'to bat may pa-blind fold! Wala kong makita pano ko maglalakad?"
"Syempre may surprise ako sayo. Trust me okay?"
Inalalayan niya si Maine sa hinanda niyang surpresa para dito. This was different from their date in EB. Tonight, there were no cameras. There were no staffs. Away from the blinding lights. No scripts, everything will just be about the two of them.
"Nandito na tayo." Alden removed her blindfold and it took her seconds to adjust from the light. Everything was beautifully set up. It was a candle light dinner at the center of the open garden. From there she could see the lighthouse and the breathtaking view of the place.
"Ang ganda dito. You made all of this?"
"Yup. You liked it?"
"It's perfect."
Inalalayan naman ni Alden si Maine sa upuan. Then a waiter came and served them food. Natuwa siya dahil at least, 'proper food' na ngayon ang kinakain nila sa date na ito.
"Kala ko isaw na naman papakain mo sakin e."
"Syempre ibahin naman natin no. Tsaka baka magka-hepa na tayo kakakain ng isaw."
The two talked over things while enjoying their food. Alden would occassionally throw jokes and pick-up lines while Maine laugh and enjoy his company. He also told her that he asked Nanay Dub to cover up for him for the surprise.
"Ikaw dami mo pang pakulo di mo nalang ako sinundo sa bahay. Ni hindi nga ko nakapag-ayos o kasi kala ko talaga may pinapautos lang si Nanay sakin."
"Okay lang. Mas gusto ko yung ganyan ka. Just you. Yung simpleng Nicomaine."
"Madaya ka pa din. Ikaw nakaayos oh. Gwapo mo nga eh." Di sinasadyang nasabi ni Maine yung huling part. But Alden heard it clearly at napangiti siya.
"Talaga? Gwapo ako?"
"Eto naman parang di mo naman alam yun e araw-araw ka ngang sinasabihan ng ganun. Wag ka nga."
"Pero iba parin kasi pag galing sayo e." Namula na naman tuloy si Maine.
"By the way, may surprise pa pala ako sayo."
"Meron pa?"
Alden stood up and went beside Maine. He then offered his hand. "Can I have this dance?"
Tinanggap nito ang kamay niya at nagsimula na ang tugtog. Di niya napansin na may mini orchestra kasama nila.
You're my heart and my soul, my inspiration
Just like the old love song goes
You are one of the few things worth remembering
And since it's all true
How could anyone mean more to me than you?
They danced with the music and he was singing along with the song. "Maine, alam ko naiilang ka sa mga ganito. Yung tula na ginawa ko, it was all for you. I poured my heart to that poem because I want you to know how special you are to me. How my life turned into something magical when you came."
Just one touch took away my breath
When you drew me in I could not resist
You captivate my soul, I'm enraptured
You knocked me out and you locked me up
Stole my heart like a thief at love
Keep me here in your happy ever after
I'm captured
The music changed and Alden sang along again. He specifically requested it to the band to play songs that he dedicates to her.
"Maine, you captured me. You captured my heart. Nung nakilala kita akala ko you're just another girl na dadaan sa buhay ko. But you took a special piece of me. You took my heart with you."
I prayed so many nights that you would come my way
An angel from above to light my darkest day
A love so strong it can't be wrong
It's with you that I belong
I finally found what I've been looking for
And now you know I'm going to love you more
Hold me tight 'cause it's always been you
To think that you were always there
To be my friend and wipe away my tears
Now it's clear that it's always been you
"Ilang beses mo ng narinig 'to sakin and I would never get tired of telling this. You really are an angel that heaven sent to me. Ang tagal kong naghintay, ang tagal kong naghanap, tapos dumating ka. And you don't know how blessed I am to have you in my life."
So I'll be there when you call
Pick you up when you fall
And if you ever get lonely
I'll be there in a heartbeat
"Lagi mong tatandaan na nandito ako palagi para sa'yo. Partners tayo diba? Kakampi mo ko. Problema mo, problema ko na rin. Wag na wag kang mahihiyang magsabi sakin. Lagi mong tatandaan, ikaw at ako, tayong dalawa."
This song is for you
For everything we've been through
It's been so long overdue
I just wanna say
Thank You
"Thank you, sa lahat. Marami pa tayong pagdadaanan, marami pang hahadlang, marami pang manghuhusga, pero tatandaan mo na sa anumang pagsubok na dadating, nasa tabi mo lang ako. Di kita iiwan."
As far as I can see, there's only you and only me.This is the last time I'll fall in love.
Last time i'll fall in love.
The last time i'll fall... in love.
"I know it's too early for us to talk about the future but I can't see anyone but you in it. Ikaw na yung gusto kong makasama balang araw, yung babaeng susumpa kasama ko sa altar, yung makikita ko tuwing umaga paggising ko, the one who'll be the mother of my kids, the one who'll cry with me when my kids start to grow up and have crushes. The one whom I'll grow old with. I can't see anyone who'll do those things with me but you Maine. You became my best friend, my girl, my love, my angel.. My better half, it's you."
Maine can't hold back her tears anymore. She hugged Alden and she doesn't care now if she looked like a wreck with all the crying.
"RJ, I might not say this to you everyday but you were the best thing I had too. With you, I forgot all my inhibitions. I'm stronger, I'm braver, I did things I didn't even know I was capable of and it was all because of you. You always tell me that I was God's gift to you but in my heart, it was you who is His gift to me. You are my best friend, my partner, my savior, my love.. My better half. And I can't imagine my life would be if you didn't came."
He hugged her tighter and placed a kiss on her forehead. And leaned in to plant another kiss on her lips.
"I love you Maine, always. Happy Valentine's."
"I love you too RJ, forever. Happy Valentine's."
