Everything's Right

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)

And because my stomach does not want to participate anymore, we had to go somewhere else for our dinner. What else would be more perfect than a serving of Bulalo on the side while we talk about everything and anything we thought that needs catching upon even after a whole day of being with each other.

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.
