“The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.”
Some years way back in my MUHS days, I once told a colleague/mentor/sister/ and a very good confidante, Ms. Mae, as to what would it be like to have my own love story be published in my blog. Disapproval was what I got as she rejected the idea by saying I should better reserve it for the perfect day to come. As my comeback (a no-longer-new issue of me ceasing blogging for a while, hahah) I believe, hence, this is a perfect time , not to really publish a blog of our "love story" but of what had happened exactly 1 month ago today, which I believe embarks a very momentous significance in our so-called affair.
Never did I imagine that December 19, 2015 (Saturday), my birthday to be specific, would permanently be tattooed on my mind as I had never thought that my very special best friend would kneel down in front of me first thing in the morning as I woke up, with my mother's approval, asking me the most desirable question a woman wants to answer with unexplainable feelings EVER!!!!
(Oppps! Sorry for the run-on sentence. It's actually the FEELS talking this time! hahahah!!)
Spare me some of the details for I, together with my family and a few very close friends, already have preserved them in our minds. But I'd like to share a few of them, too! So here they go.
Since it was a Saturday, and I had a very busy week in school prior to that with him always being my driver he had entirely a very good reason to excuse himself of buying me a gift on my birthday. That morning I went out of my room, confused was all I had been for gone were the people around the house. I checked everywhere, but none I found, only to realize that my mother and my siblings already went to the grandparents' house a few feet away. As what I usually do there every morning, I headed to the veranda to at least be freshened up by the cold morning breeze. I was astounded as he was already waiting there greeting me "Happy Birthday" in the very unusual way. He then asked me if I wanted to see "the gift" he had for me. What do you expect me to say??? Of course YES was all I exclaimed.
While handing me this, he asked his apologies, for according to him since we both were busy that week he really didn't get the chance to buy an extra special one, that I shouldn't expect too much as I open it for I might fail my expectations. I ranted of course. Hahahah! I said, "Ahhh! Grabe! Wa sad ka nangita ug laing ways no? Dili na uso effort dinha?''
I wasn't able to finish my whining for he already had placed his finger in my lips shutting me up right away.
Him: Paghilom sa kay wa pa ko nahuman. Sige abrehe na.
And so I obliged.
I was already brought to cloud 9 seeing this. A compilation of quotes from my most favorite author, Paulo Coelho. :)
But then, I got the feeling something was inside the book for it felt so lumpy. I was expecting it to be a metal bookmark, something I am really eager to own. But before I had opened it, he held my hands and started his speech. :))))
One of the lines he had which I will never ever forget was "Mang, willing ka mouban nku for the rest of my life? And I was like, "Wait sa, nagpropose ka paw?" Hahahaha and so he continued. And at the end of his speech, he popped the will-you-marry-me question while opening the most middle part of the book.
Right in the middle of the book is an illustration of a heart. And right in the middle of the heart laid the ring tied with the book's red bookmark. I answered YES absolutely! :)
Perfect was all I could describe. Of the feeling. Of the Day. Of the Date. Of the Place. Of his proposal. It may never be what I had expected to happen, it may never be the same with what I had set in my mind, yet his way of doing it in the most sincerest way was already something I couldn't ask for more. And if by any chance I will be given another opportunity to plan a proposal in a way I wanted it to happen, I will still want his for he had given me boundless of joy, immeasurable happiness, and rambling butterflies in my stomach. It was a day as if all the butterflies in the world were collected and placed right in my belly. Funny feeling it was. I was astonished. I was entirely happy that no single word in the English dictionary can convey. And just like that I was transported to heaven. :)))
Here are a few of what were written inside :))
One of the few questions he scribbled in the book. When I answered he then wrote on it the YES!! (Just dont mind his exclamation marks which look like question marks, nyahahah)
