It's been 5 years.

"I want to give this to you." She said.
Nakangiti akong tinanggap ang isang paper bag galing sa kanya.

I slowly open it and saw a shirt.

"This is your shirt," I said ng itaas ko ang puting t-shirt.
Nakangiti siyang tumango.
"It's my favourite shirt." She murmured.
"Awww... thank you." I hugged her tight and kissed her forehead.

I should have hugged her more at that time.

"Hey, iyan na naman ang suot mo." Biro ng nililigawan ko sa akin.
"It's my favourite shirt," I replied.
"Sino nagbigay?"
I slow smile crept in my face.
"Someone I loved," I replied.

Nawala ang ngiti niya at tumingin sa malayo.
"You are an ideal boyfriend for loving her too much until now." She inhaled deeply.
"More on an ideal son," I replied.
Napatingin sa akin ang nililigawan ko.
"My mom is in heaven now and she gave me this before she died," I told her smiling.
"This was her favourite shirt," I added.

Nagyuko ng ulo ang nililigawan ko.
"You are an ideal boyfriend indeed." She whispered but I heard her.

I think I am, because I was raised by a Queen.
