THE FINALE

Ending is Near,
But whats good is your here.

-Nikka-

I embrace as the wind blows towards me. I never imagine that suddenly my life will become a nightmare. Who would have thought I would experience such scene we only see in movies.

Pero siguro nga kaya karamihan sa atin ang nasasabi nalang ay life gives us a lot of surprises. Sometimes its sad and heartbreaking but still we should be thankful for everything life has given to us kasi alam natin lahat ng experiences ay may baong aral.

I smile ng maramdaman ko ang mahigpit na yakap galing sa aking likuran. Its been almost a year magmula ng matapos ang bangungot sa aking buhay.

Its been a year and he still choose to stay kahit wala siyang nakukuhang sagot galing sa akin.

Nilingon ko ang taong isa sa naging dahilan kong bakit ako naging matapang.

His sharp eyes look at me like he was mesmerize. Marami ang nagbago his hair grows longer than what I've expected. His much more taller at graduate na rin siya sa pagiging engineering student.

Kahit sobrang busy niya sa pagrereview for board exam ay hindi niya pa rin nakakalimutang sunduin at ihatid ako sa unibersidad na aking pinagaaralan. I decided to fullfill my dream of becoming an interior designer.

Sa loob ng 9 months ay yun lang ginagawa niya. Being always there whenever I needed him and with that thought I can't help but smile.

"So,what are you thinking at ganyan katamis ang ngiti mo?You're melting my heart Niks" he laughed playfully.

"I'm just greatful that you are here with me. Thank you for being patient and for not leaving me kahit alam kong nagiging pabigat na ako." Nakita ko ang pagtataka sa kanyang mukha.

"Paano mo naman nasabing pabigat ka?" Napatigil ako sa tanong niya. Thinking for the right words to say but ended up saying nothing.

"See, hindi ka pabigat. I'm happy whenever I see that you're happy so you should always stay happy pero kung malungkot ka naman Niks I also want you to share that sadness with me, okay?"

Tumango lang ako bilang sagot.

"Okay, I think kailangan na nating bumalik at kanina ka pa hinahanap ni Aimee. Baka nagsisi na yun bakit niya pinakasalan si Nathan hahahaha" siniko ko siya sa kanyang tagiliran sa kanyang sinabi.

"Sira!masyadong mahal siya ni Nathan para magsisi pa siya kung bakit niya ito pinakasalan. and she also love him" I smile happily going back to the reception area.

Natigilan ako ng napansin kong hindi na sumusunod sa akin si Makki. So, i turned around to face him.

"May problema ba?" Tanong ko ng mapansin siyang biglang natulala.

"Marry me" napanganga ako sa sinabi niya. What the--- nagpopropose ba siya?

"I know this sound stupid, alam ko nabigla ka but I've been planning already for like a month now kung paano ba kita tatanungin about dito. Pero Niks, I always get nothing as answer for all those questions. I want it to be perfect pero sa lahat ng mga pinagdaanan natin I think there is no such thing as bad timing or perfect time. As long as may gusto kang gawin,gawin mo na because we will never know what will happen next. And ayaw kong magsisi na naman na hindi ko nasabi sayo ang mga gusto kong sabihin dahil hindi umayon ang panahon. So, I wanna say to you here, right now. I love you so much that I want to spend my life with you forever. Will you marry me?" sabay ng pagsabi niya nun ay ang kanya ring pagluhod.

I don't know but at this point I feel like I heard someone singing 'A thousand Years' by Christina Perri. I know I've cried a lot years ago and here I am crying again... but now, this time I know its not because of fear, sadness or guilt but because of happiness.

I never thought this day will come. He always jokes around saying me about this thing but he always just get a smile from me as an answer. Pero ngayon, I know I cannot give him a smile anymore. 

Mabilis na tumayo si Makki ng makita akong umiiyak. He came up to me at agad pinahiran ang mga luhang nag-uunahan sa pagpatak. "Shhh.. I'm sorry okay? I meant not to put you in pressure..I..I just can't help it. I am in love with you so deeply that I wanna cherish every moment that I can be with you. If, you are not yet ready---" I cut him off by kissing him tenderly. 

When we parted, catching each others breath. I said everything that I wanna say to him like he said. Gawin na dapat ang kung anong gusto mong gawin before its too late, and that was a lesson for me to learn already after what happened.

"You know why I hated you before? not because you disgust me with all these girls coming to you! but because I cannot accept the fact that I'm also captivated with that smile of yours. Masyadong mataas ang pride ko para aminin iyon. You annoyed me so much that I can't help thinking more about you. Makki, I love you so much that I can't help but say....yes."

Mangha siyang nakatingin sa akin habang hindi pa rin gumagalaw. "Aren't you gonna put that thing on my ring finger?" I laugh ng nabalik siya sa huwisyo at saka inilagay ang singsing sa aking dalairi bago ako hinalikan. 

"Isn't it morbid na sa araw pa talaga ng bestfriend mo kayo naging engage?" I look at the person who was talking and I can't help but feel guilty about it. 

"Oh my gosh, beshy..I--I'm so" then guess what she cut me off.

"If you're really sorry then I should be your maid-of-honor" then she smile and hug me. 

"Kala ko galit ka talaga" I also hug her back.

"Paano ako magagalit kung alam kong masaya ka? I'm really happy for you bes..Super happy"

After magdrama ay sabay-sabay na kaming apat na bumalik sa reception. With Aimee holding hands with his husband Nathan and me holding hands with my soon to be husband, Makki."
