Nagising ako ngayon. Pero wala na si eros sa tabi ko. All that I can sense is the smell. There's a pretty fragrance around this room. Wala naman to kagabi pero...

Napabangon ako.

The whole white bed sheets and pillows was showered with white petals of roses.

Parang natigil ang mundo ko. Parang binagsakan ako ng isang sakong k. Para akong pinaligoan ng pako.

My heart skipped a beat when I realized everything.

Napatingin ako sa ibabaw at nasaksihan ko ang mga balloons. Oo, balloons na nasa ibabaw lahat. The whole ceiling was filled with balloons at sa bawat balloons ay may mga nakasabit na mga developed pictures.

It was beautiful. The sunrise made it more cute.

Napatingin ako isa-isa sa mga pictures. There I was. Puro mukha ko lang naman. Puro mga stolen shots. Smiling, laughing, and emo.

I never thought na sa mga moments na ito ay kinukunan niya pala ako ng mg litrato.

Effort.

Who would have thought na magagawa niya to? Kailan pa? Bakit di man lang ako nagising? Di ko man lang napansin.

Napatingin ako sa paanan ko. Napasunod ako kung saan ako idinala ng mga nakakalat pero parang may balak akong ihatid sa kung saan ng mga rose petals na ito.

Binuksan ko ang pinto at papalapit ng papalapit. I saw eros. I saw him with a guitar. Standing right there, waiting for me.

Just when I thought that he was wearing a black tux but wore stripes t-shirts under it. Too formal but too casual na rin. Simple. Liked it.

He smiled. His smile has been one of my favorite thing in the world. It's beautiful and cute. Amusing and sensitive.

Napatigil ako sa paglalalakad.
Magkatinginan lang kami.
I'm not smiling but I'm happy.
He's smiling and now?

He started playing his guitar. At sa pagkakaplay niya sa gitara ay para na din akong unting-unting tinutunaw.

Wise men says, only fools rush in
But I can't help  falling inlove with you
Shall I stay? Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling inlove with you

"Eros, what is this..."

He just grinned. Ignored my statement and continue singing.

Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling inlove with you

He walked towards me. Kinuha na rin niyaang gitara sa kanya at napapatuloy sa paglakad papunta sa akin.

"Vea Villas..."

He said upon standing right in front of me. Kinakabahan ako. Hindi naman ako manhid para di ko mapansin o maramdaman kung anong balak niya.

I'm afraid.

"Vea, you don't know how happy I am because I have you again in my life. I really hope and pray before that we'll get to meet soon and we'll be back together again."

He is...

"Eros..."

"I know I sound corny and cheesy right now, but, saying this to you is not that corny at all. I'm just proud." He said. "Honestly."

I just shut my mouth. Marami na naman akong iniisip. Kakagising ko pa lang at ganito na kaagad. Wala na bang pahinga to?

"I just wanted to say that you're the most beautiful girl in the whole world. Universe. Of all, sweet. You're just... Simply pretty and you're this crazy one who act tough but fragile deep inside." He said.

Why, eros? Bakit hindi mo ramdam ngayon o napansin man lang na Hindi ako okay? Oo, deep inside I'm so broken right now.

"Vea, I want you to know na... You're the best one I have. I don't wanna lose you... Not anymore." Sabi niya pa. Para namang nanghina ang puso ko sa mga pinagsasabi niya sa akin ngayon. Para niya na akong sinasaksak. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko.

"Eros... Please." I began.

Nagpanic na ako deep inside nung lumuhod na siya sa harap ko at may kinukuhang box sa pocket niya. I was shock and terrified at the same time.

Eros, please don't do this to me.

Biglang sumakit ang ulo ko sa nakikita ko. Shit. Shit. Shit.

Utak o puso.

Utak. Sa oras na malaman ni eros ang katotohanan na mama ko ang second mother niya ay pagpapahiwalayin kami. Kasi sa papel, magkapatid kami. Even thinking about what we did last night is already a horrible decision for me. It's like I'm having sex with my brother. And it's awful.

Puso. Mahal ko siya. Siya nalang ang natira sa akin. Andiyan nga si mama pero di ko maintidihan ang mga rason kung bakit niya ako iniwan. Si eros? Naiwan ko na siya noon. He even came back to my life which means that he really is sincere for me. And that he has feelings for me. I've always dreamed that I'll end up with him. Have a family with him.

But now? Everything seems so complicated. It is very.

"Vea Villas, will you marry me?
