It was an unexpected sunny
Saturday from a week of heavy rain and strong winds. We planned to spend the
day together in Sky Ranch, Tagaytay. My face literally lit up the moment I saw
him. I wanted to hug him so tight but I managed to just flash him a smile. That
would do.
He held my hand like he always
does and I clutched his arm with my other hand as we walk through the whole
park. The sun is setting and all of it would be a waste if we do not have
pictures to document each second, of course. We chose a spot wherein not many
people go to and chose to stay there, loving the sight of the mini volcano in
front of us. I’d give anything to freeze that moment.
We made our way past the crowd
and into the Ferris wheel ride. As we are waiting in line, he asked me to wear
one of his headphones, and I was thinking like, “Do I seriously have to wear
that considering the ride is only just for ten minutes?” but I did not
complain. Secondly, after we were already inside, he chose to sit across me.
Usually he would sit beside me so at that moment I felt something was not right.
Then there he was, opening his backpack and letting out a yellow stack of paper
to which I did not know for what purpose so I was like, “What’s going on?”
staring at him blankly. He asked me to stay put and to just put on the freaking
headphones. And so I did.
The first song that played was
Matt Wertz’ Everything’s right and I can already feel my face heating up! I was
laughing and smiling like an idiot but I became dead silent while he began
flashing the FIRST card. And so I realized he made a somewhat slideshow
presentation with words and pictures which he drew that sums up OUR crazy
story. I was so taken aback that I can feel my jaw dropping while he flips each
card. The story started from the first time we met (which was a month from now)
until we are having to sneak just to see each other, up to my parents finding
out about us and their disapproval of us, how I chose to stay for him, and the
last slide was how he loves me and how all of it is true and it’s just so amazing
and wonderful and I was all out of words for him and was close to tears when he
finished.
The feeling that I have for
him, I could not seem to explain. It was like he held my heart and I have his
and we are very careful of that something we currently have and feel for each
other that everything, including the sun setting outside of our car ride
began to vanish as we only had eyes just
for each other. He told me once again that he love me and I hugged him so tight
to let him feel that I am here, and I am not going to leave.
And because I was on the verge
of video-taping him in the process but he asked me not to move a single muscle,
he agreed with me to do a re-enactment afterwards instead. So here is a link of a video of
him giving his presentation minus the Ferris wheel ride and the sunset and
butterflies and stars floating around us and hearts flying in every direction.
(ha! just kidding)
The day has to end but it did with a smile on our faces and warmth in our hearts. I watched his video as I lay on my bed over and over again until I can't keep my eyes open anymore. There's something about him that I cannot fathom what made me this way. I know this is a little bit early for something like this to exist between two people, but I am hoping that this will be the REAL thing.
