Secretly Yours

INT. LIVING ROOM - EVENING

7:05 p.m.

Mikey smiled, softly brushing his thumb on her cheek.

Robin
Naisip ko kanina na ang suwerte namin ng anak ko sa 'yo. Kahit ako pa lang naman ngayon, ang suwerte-suwerte ko sa 'yo.

Nasabi ko naman sa 'yo dati na palagi kong iniisip 'yong anak ko kasi gusto ko talagang proud siya sa 'kin pagbalik niya. Tapos kanina habang nagkukuwento ka, hindi ko maiwasang isipin na kung p'wede . . . ikaw na lang.

Robin sniffed and swallowed.

Robin
Para sa 'min, please?
Ikaw na lang.

The smile on his lips lingered.

Mikey
Yes.

Robin
Talaga?

Mikey nodded, brushing his thumb on her cheek again.

Mikey
If this is considered as a proposal, of course, yes. And even without you asking and saying it, it's still a yes.

Robin
Promise mo 'yan?

Mikey
Promise.
You also made me think of plan D.

Robin
Plan D?
Ang dami mo nang plans.
'Di mo pa sinasabi sa 'kin plan C mo.

Mikey
Plan C is I take my dad on his offer.

Robin
Anong offer 'yan, love?

Mikey
He asked me if I can take over our resorts sa Puerto Galera and Siargao.

Robin
Talaga?

Mikey
Yup.

Robin
Pero gusto mo ba 'yon kung sakali?

Mikey
It's fine. Plus if I agree, I can go diving most of the time and pursue 'yong sinasabi ko sa 'yo before na maging professional shark driver.

Robin
Bawal.
Baka malapa ka ng pating.

Robin tugged on his shirt.

Robin
Dito ka lang.

Mikey
They're not.
Sharks are nice.

Robin
Saan pala ako papasok do'n sa plan C mo?

Mikey
You could help out sa resort if you want to or you could continue writing scripts sa mga movie ideas mo then we can send them out.

Robin
Okay . . . tapos 'yong Plan D?

Mikey
That we get married.

Robin
Ha?

Mikey
You proposed na earlier.
I said yes. Walang bawian.

Robin
Seryoso ka ba?

Mikey
For now it's a plan.
It's not soon pero it's a plan.

Robin
Ah . . .

Mikey
And an assurance.

Robin
Assurance?

Mikey
That I want you too and our baby.

Robin
Our?

Mikey
Yes, love.
Our.
