A year ago...
It was raining kinda hard as the car went up on the slippery road of Antipolo...going a notch higher as we moved along. The altitude seemed one with what I'm feeling at the moment, elated. I hear the wiper go back and forth...everything seemed so quiet, no one wants to break the silence, so perfect. The rain, the slippery road, the wiper...these are the insignificant witnesses of how my heart restlessly pumped. Every 'thug' though, is magnified.Silent and yet, deafening. It almost felt like he can hear it.
He was focused on the road and would give me small talks every once and a while. I hear all the words that he said but understood past the sentences and phrases. I was in a daze.
Words seemed superflous. All I am aware of was a man...taking control of the wheel...looking as calm as ever that I wished, he could take hold of my life the same way.
I watched him on peripheral view like a specimen under a microscope, memorizing every inch, every move he made. He would handle the steering wheel with one hand and the other would occasionally shift gears...
I said to myself, " I have known this guy for quite some time and yet never paid attention to everything that he is, until now."
A revelation came crashing to my consciousness. "He the guy, I never thought I have always wanted."
Perhaps the only man who deserves all of me.
Pictures taken at exactly 1:13 AM...after the dialogue below.
We were in a middle of a conversation when he said, he wanted to ask me something but isn't sure if it was the right time.
He closed his eyes for, I can't remember how long, and asked...
"Would you let me love you?"
I was speechless, but the insides of me is screaming, "Yes!"
He told me, " You don't have to answer, I can wait..."
But a silly smile was plastered on my face, I stopped him mid-way sentence and said, "Yes".
Out loud.
