Stan.
Hm?
Gising ka pa?
Yes mahal. Why?
I have a question.
Is it Math?
Haha. No.
Okay. Ask away.
But it's Physics.
Ha?
Joke! It's not. Why would I ask you naman about Physics? Haha.
Well... I don't know. Maybe lihi mo or something?
Ha? Weird naman na paglilihi 'yon.
It's not ah? It's actually more understandable 'cause you're married to an astrophysicist.
Naku. I sometimes forget that.
Tsk. Don't forget that naman 'cause that's what makes me a cool guy.
But you're always a cool guy to me na?
Talaga?
Of course. You're cool cause you're married to me.
Hehe. That's true.
So, what's the question that's keeping my baby up?
Basta don't be weirded out, ha.
Of course I won't.
It's... something lang na I've been wanting to ask, but somehow forgot to ask until tonight. Haha.
Okay.
Do you remember?
The?
The first time you realized you liked me romantically? Or like, had a crush on me?
Oo naman.
Wow. Ang bilis ah?
Of course, love. How can I forget that? It was one of the best moments of my life.
Sige nga-when?
2015.
2015?!
October 29, 2015, to be exact.
October 29, 2015... wait, isn't that your birthday?
Ah-huh. 2015. My 22nd birthday party.
No way.
Yes way.
That evening?
Yep. When you drank half the Bacardi straight from the bottle.
Ha! It was on your birthday when you realized that you liked me?
Not actually realized. It's more like... decided. When you put the bottle down after chugging half of it, I realized that I just had to crush on you. I just had to like you. There was no other conclusion for the night. No other ending. It's either I crush on you then or regret it for the rest of my life.
