"Thanks for today."

Russel genuinely smiled at him. While ER holding her hands.

"Had you have fun?" he asked her.

Fun? Hindi lang basta fun. She enjoyed every seconds with him. Gusto niya ang pakiramdam na palagi itong nasa tabi niya.

"I had so much fun," she replied.

Hinayaan lang niya na nakatitig ito sa kanya at ganoon din siya dito. Habang magkahumang ang mga tingin nila ay marami siyang narealized dahil dito. Hindi na pala masamang sumubok muli. Hindi na pala nakakatakot na subukan magtiwala at magmahal. Aaminin niya sa umpisa ay may kaba pa sa dibdib niya but he proved to her that it is possible if she will trust him.

ER brought her to one of a breathtaking tourist destination sa probinsya ng Cebu. The Mantayupan Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in the region has a wonderful and magical view that could take her breath away.

"I'll kinda busy tomorrow but we can have dinner early by night. Para makilala mo na rin ang adoptive father ko." Pag aanyaya ni ER sa kanya.

Ngumiti siya. "Hindi ko alam na nasa introducing with family na pala tayo." Sabay tawa niya.

Naramdaman niya ang paghapit ni ER sa baywang niya that she gasped. "We're still on getting-to-know-each-other stage. If it's that what you mean."

Lumapat ang isang palad niya sa matigas at malapad na dibdib nito. Kahit kailan, his scent will always drive her crazy. She likes it and it's very soothing for her.

"So, gaano mo na nga ba ako kakilala?" pag uusisa niya.

Hindi nakaligtas sa paningin niya ang paglandas ng mga mata nito sa kabuuan ng mukha niya. "It's like I've known you forever."

"Cringe!" pagtawa niya.

"Anong nakakatawa?" tanong ni ER habang nakabungisngis din sa kanya.

"Eh, para ka naman kasing stalker kung ganoon. Kailan mo lang ako nakita," aniya.

Nakita niya ang pagseryoso ng mukha nito pagkatapos ay ang lalo pang paghigpit ng pagkakahawak sa kanya. "Would you believe that the first time I saw you was like, I saw you before? Actually naguluhan din ako noon. It's hard to explain but I kept thinking about you since the first day I saw you."

Sasabihin din ba niya dito na ganoon din ang pakiramdam niya noon? That he actually familiar to her na hindi niya lang talaga mapaniwalaan? Dahil sa malaking pagkakaiba nito sa lalaking minsan naging bahagi ng nakaraan niya? May mga moment pa rin na kapag napapatingin siya dito ay parang si Satan ang nakikita niya pero sa tuwing magsasalita ito at ngingiti sa kanya ay liwanag ang nakikita niya. He was way far from Satan. ER is different.

"K-kanina ko pa ito gustong sabihin sa 'yo." Pagsisimula niya.

She think that it's time for her to move forward. It is time to start a new life. With him.
