George & Shantri
Wala akong ibang ginawa buong araw kundi mag muni muni sa may pool sa labas dahil hindi naman talaga ako interesado sa ibang activities tsaka si Tristan naman talaga ang pinunta ko dito walang iba.
I ate my lunch and went back to my room para maka pag pahinga and handa sa dinner namin ni Tristan mamaya sa roof deck.
"Hey gurl! Kumusta naman ang vacation mo there with Tristan?" Tuwang tuwang bati ko ni Irene sakin sa video call. I'm just killing time dahil masyado pang maaga para mag handa para sa dinner namin.
"Okay lang naman. Alam mo, I think may boyfriend na si Rose dito but don't tell her ha." Nakangiting sabi ko kay Irene habang kumakain ng chips sa bed ko. "Talaga?! Ayaw na nya kay Tristan?" natatawa pa ang loka.
"Gaga, sasabonotan kita pag uwi ko." I replied rolling my eyes at her and she just laughed at me. "Joke lang, ito naman hindi na ma biro. Sige, enjoy ka lang jan. Busy pa ako." She replied and I noticed that she's shopping with her boy toy this time.
My eyes widened nung na kita ko kung nasan sya. "Irene! Punyeta ka ang traydor mo! Ba't nasa Ayala ka?" I snapped jokingly at her. I don't really mind kung sa ibang mall sya nag shoshopping, I just want to play around with her.
"AY nako! Ayan tuloy na kita mo na!! Sorry na gurl, mahal parin kita kahit nasa ayala ako." She replied laughing at me. "Sige na Traydor, wala kang pasalubong sakin."
Wala na talaga atang plano mag seryoso tong babae na to, eh kung sino sino nalang ang ka date. Hinayaan ko lang din, kung saan sya masaya then go. Basta nandito lang ako to support her at damayan sya kung kailan nya ako.
Pagkatapos namin mag-usap ay nag ayos na kaagad ako. Wala namang sinabi si Tristan kung ano ang dapat kong suotin kaya I decided sa pinaka safe, smart casual. It was around 5:30 ng matapos ako sa lahat and I checked my phone to see if may message from Tristan but wala.
Around 5:45 lumabas na ako ng room ko at naglakbay na patungo sa roof deck. I waited patiently for the elevator and when it opened nagulat ako ng may isang staff dun na nakangiti sa akin.
"Good evening, ma'am Shantal. I'll accompany you to the roof deck." She said still smiling and waited for me to get in the elevator. I just nodded and smiled at her.
Wow, so he really prepared for this, huh?
Pag dating namin dun may iba't ibang activities din akala ko dun na kami pero hindi pa pala. Tumungo pa kami sa kabilang side ng roof deck, dumaan pa kami sa hallway then I saw a glass door covered by a nude color curtain kaya hindi ko makita kung ano ang nasa likod nun. The crewmember smiled at me as she opened the glass door slowly.
Laglag ang panga ko pag bukas na pag bukas ng pinto, iniluwa nun si Tristan in his maong pants, black dress shirt and his Jordan shoes. Damn, he looked so good kahit ragged yung dating ng outfit nya. I covered my mouth in shock when I saw the set up, may acoustic band pa na tumutogtog and Tristan was holding gerbera flowers in his hand.
"Hi.." He greeted smiling cutely at me and handing me the flowers. Wala kang ibang makikita sa view kundi ang dagat lang at may naka set up na table for two.
Candles were lit everywhere. At may small candles pa na naka porma ng I love you at heart shape.
Napaka romantic ng set up, may rose petals pa sa sahig at si Tristan. Ang Tristan ko. Kahit wala na lahat itong set up na to okay lang as long as I have Tristan with me.
"You look beautiful, baby. Damn, I love you so much." Aniya while wrapping his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him and our noses touched.
"Ang gwapo mo rin, Tristan. Tsaka ang ganda ng Set up! Para saan to?" I replied looking around admiring his surprise for me.
He. Never. Dissapoints. Ever
"Wala, gusto ko lang bumawi and I missed you so much, sobra sobra." He replied at nilagay ang noo nya sa noo ko habang dahan dahan akong isinasayaw sa kanta ng acoustic band while he wrapped me tight in his warm embrace na para bang anytime mawawala ako sa kanya. I stared at his eyes and I saw loneliness in it.
"May problema ba, Tristan?" I asked concerned and touched his face caressing it.
"Wala. Shan, mahal kita. Mahal na mahal." He replied and kissed me deeply.
I'm home.
In his arms, I am home. He is my home.
No I'm never gonna leave you darling
No I'm never gonna go regardless
Everything inside of me, is leaving in your heartbeat
Even when all the lights are fading
Even then, if your hope was shaking
I'm here holding on
I will always be yours for ever and more
For the push and the pull
I still drown in your love
And drink till I'm drunk
And all that I've done, is it ever enough
We danced slowly with the music the band played for us.
Shit, ang lakas ng pintig ng puso ko habang sinasayaw ni Tristan. Ilang years na kami pero shit, parang kahapon lang.
"Bakit Gerbera flowers, Tristan?" I asked out of nowhere while we were sitted in our chairs eating dinner. Filipino dishes lahat ang hinanda ni Tristan at syempre may mga healthy food talaga. "Because sobrang common na ng roses and ubos na din dahil nasa sahig na." He replied smiling while reaching out for my hand to hold.
"Thank you, Tristan. Sobrang na aapreciate ko to lahat." I said holding his hand as well. We ate in peace and talked about anything and how much we missed each other. Panay lang ang biroan namin at ang kulit talaga ng isang to. Sa gabing ito, lahat ng worries and doubts ko kay Tristan nawala lahat.
"Hmmm.." I breathed in the fresh air while Tristan wrapped his arms around me as we rocked with the music slowly. "Siguro babe, pag nagka baby na tayo-" hindi ko na natuloy ang sinasabi ko dahil nabitawan ni Tristan ang glass nya kaya nabasag.
He panicked and was quick to pull me away para hindi ako magka sugat. "Are you okay?!" He asked worried and held my face. "I'm good, ikaw? What happened?" I replied habang sumisingkit ang mata ko sa kanya.
He smiled like it was nothing. "It slipped babe, sorry. You were saying?" Natatawa nyang sabi and I just laughed with him dahil he looked so lost and super cute.
Hinayaan na namin ang na basag at agad namang may nag linis.
"Wala, sabi ko kung magkaka baby na tayo, siguro ang cute." I said while wrapping my arms in his waist with my head on his chest to hug him. "Of course, we're gonna have cute Dana George and George Shantri." He whispered on my ears and it sent shivers in me. Damn, his effect on me.
I laughed and slapped his arms jokingly. "Anong Dana George at George Shantri sinasabi mo?"
"Mga anak natin! Dapat syempre, babae at lalaki." He replied smiling at me. My heart melted with the thought na may pangalan na sya sa mga magiging anak namin.
"Awweee, you really thought about our babies names?"
Fuck I am so in love with him.
He nodded and kissed my forehead before resting his chin on my head and looked in the night sky while wrapping me around his arms. We stayed still for a while just admiring the moment together. I am truly happy, hindi ko ma explain parang sasabog yung puso ko sa tuwa at pag mamahal then I felt something fall on my face and it was wet. I pulled away to look at Tristan and I saw that he was wiping his eyes as a tear fell and stared at me with sadness and pain in his eyes.
"Mahal na mahal kita shan. Sobra sobra kitang mahal. Kung may magawa man akong makakasakit sayo, lage mong tatandaan na hindi ko yun intensyon at sana lage mong tandaan na hinding hindi kita maka kalimotan."
