Sawa

Sa mga sumunod na linggo ay naging maayos naman ang pagsasama namin ni Easton. Walang masyadong ganap ang nangyayari. The routine happen many times that it became usual for me, hatid-sundo niya pa rin ako palagi at hindi ko malaman kung paano niya mamanage ang schedule niya.

The next weekend was spend to be a vacation for us. We had our island hopping again and we check in hotel in the other island near Lavinia. We tried some water sports there and I really enjoy surfing and jet skiing! I am not really good at it but I had fun.

We spend one night and todays there. Mabuti nga ay pinayagan ako ni Mommy na pumunta kami sa karatig isla at magpalipas ng gabi rito. At night we had our dinner with seafoods as our meal.

Natakam kaagad ako dahil matagal na panahon na rin ako hindi nakatikim noon. I couldn't recall the last time I tried this. Ever since I am in college, I already learn the definition of busy. Siguro ngayon lamang magkasama kami ni Easton ang pagtry ko ulit nito.

Pagkatapos kumain ay lumabas kami ng hotel upang maglakad-lakad. May ganito rin sa Lavinia pero halos libot na namin iyon kaya nagtry kami rito. Kahit na ang pang-swimming ay ilang beses na namin na try doon kaya gusto rin naming subukan dito.

“What's your plans?” he asked while we are walking in the seashore.

May iilang tao rin ang nasa kalayuan. Ang iba ay nagkakantahan doon sa kabila at nag-iinuman.

Napabaling ako sa kaniya. Hindi ko alam kung anong tinutukoy sa kaniyang katanungan.

I bite the inside of my cheeks. “Uhm, finish my course... And uh... do my job...”

He nodded and lick his lips.

“I want to marry you after you graduate,” walang alinlangang ani niya.

“Huh?!” Namilog ang mata ko. Sinubukan kong bumawi. “Uh... hindi ba sobrang bilis naman no'n?”

Kumunot nang bahagya ang noo niya. “Why? You don't want? Ilang taon mo ba gustong magpakasal?”

Napakurap ako. It's not that! Pero kasi ay sobrang bilis no'n kahit na apat na kaming magkasama kung titingnan.

“Uhm, it's not what I mean, babe... But I was thinking if I could marry at the age of 27 or above? Parang ang bata para magpakasal pagkatapos...” I potruded my lips.

If we're counting, it we'll be 8 years from now.   Matagal pa pero mas gusto kong gaanon na .kami magpakasal, I wanted to grow with him before we'll stepping on the next level of our relationship.

Kita ko ang parang pag-alma niya pero sa huli ay napahinga ito nang malalim.

“Are you sure?” his soft voice echoed.

I bit the inside of my cheeks before nodding. That's the plan, after all.

“Alright, then, we'll be marrying at your age of 27,” pinal na ani.

My heart raced. I bit my lip.

“Though, we are not sure if we're still together that time...”

His brows suddenly furrowed.

“Why? Are you planning to break up with me?”

My eyes widen a fraction but I immediately shook my head.

“Of course not! It's just that, we still don't know what will happen in the future...”

He clenched his jaw.

“We won't be breaking up. Pagtungtong mo ng bente-syete ay pakakasalan kita...”

It's like a final decision of him. I believe on it but I don't know why I couldn't trust. Hindi ko rin naman kasi alam ang mangyayari.
