AT THE VENUE
Kakaunti lang ang tao, halos lahat ay kamag anak ko din lang din, I have to admit it the design was luxurious, it's pretty.
"Do you like it?". Tanong ng katabi ko na si Lexi, inaalalayan ako nito sa pag lakad, cause as far as you know hindi pa ako magaling at ayaw ko din naman na habang buhay akong naka wheelchair kaya sinusubukan ko paunti-unti na lumakad.
I smiled at her and said". It looks amazing ". The design was field with black and deep red color which I really loved, red and pink tulips was on each table making the design more exquisite and expensive looking.
As Lex bend over towards me I whisper something on her ears as I cannot hear what she was saying when we came closer and closer to the venue because of the music." Did you chose the design?". I asked.
"Yes, alongside with tita". She answered.
While we were walking a lot of people greeted me happy birthday, I was happy that my heart nearly explode ,I felt great full for all of the things I have now.
"Here comes the birthday girl...standing next to her was her love. Oh don't they look perfect together?!". I chuckled a little when the MC said that.
"Are you laughing?". Lex asked.
"I just find it cute". I answered."It's cute that they think we were perfect together". I added.
Ng maka rating kami sa unahan ay agad na bumungad sakin ang napaka taas na cake.
"Let's sing the birthday girl happy birthday...1...2...3!".Sabay sabay na umawit ang mga tao sa aking paligid.
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Happy birthday to you!". Sabay-sabay na awit ng mga ito.
"Make a wish!". They all shouted happily. I closed my eyes with my hands palm to palm, intact together.
I open my eyes and blew the candle, everyone clap and so the party started.
"Happy birthday anak". Sabay na sambit ni mama at papa saka ay niyakap ako.
I was sitting on the table when a slow dance song suddenly cue, isang kamay ang lumahad sa akin ng mag umpisa ang kanta mabagal kong tinignan kung sino iyon it's her my love.
I held her hand and together we dance, her hands hug my waist perfectly,her dazzling stare, oh gosh I might melt.
"Love?". I asked staring at her eyes."Why Bicol?". Well I know that Bicol was my favorite place but why did she chose Bicol, besides well I know it was my birthday.
She didn't answer instead she stop dancing at saka ako hinila palabas na ikinagulat at ikina laki ng mata ko. "Hoy saan mo ako dadalhin?". Sambit ko.
"Diba gusto mo malaman?". Wika naman nito saka lumakad patungo sa taas. Marami ang nag sasayaw kaya hindi halata ang pagka wala namin. Ng maka akyat kami ng hagdan ay agad itong humugot ng panyo galing sa kaniyang bulsa ipiniring niya ito sa akin at sa mga pagkakataon na yun ay napapatanong nalang ako "Anong meron?".
AT THE GARDEN ROOFTOP
As Lexi slowly remove the blindfold from my eyes widen, the view of Mount Mayon. I was mesmerized by it's beauty, Bicol was just a dream of mine, it's just a dream of mine to see Mayon but now here I am. I was even more shocked when I turned around and saw a spelled giant letters W-I-L-L Y-O-U M-A-R-R-Y M-E?.
Tears stream down my face as I see Lexi slowly kneel down in front of me.
"From the moment you walked into my life, everything changed. You are my greatest adventure, my safe place, my laughter, and my love. Today, I vow to always cherish you, to stand beside you through every challenge, and to celebrate every joy. I promise to love you not only in the grand moments but also in the quiet, ordinary ones because every second with you is extraordinary. I choose you, now and forever. Will you also chose me? Valeria Ximenez, will you share this life time with me? Will you marry me? ".
I might never have a perfect life in my past and even now, but oh my being with her was more than enough.
" Yes! Yes Love I'll marry you! ". I answered as she put the ring on my finger, ruby stone ring with its base color in gold, our initials were carved in it. I love it.
Future Mrs. Villanova, it's me!
