Matt's POV
We're having a cosy dinner in one of our favourite Japanese restaurant when she suddenly held my hand and says something that surprised me.
Sarah: Love, I've heard about your plan. I incidentally---
Matt: What plan? (I'm nervous what she'll about to say, as I actually have an idea what she's talking about)
Sarah: Ahmm. I don't how to say this... But uhmm, I've learned about your...

Your plan to propose to me.
Although I have a feeling that it is what she's about to say, I'm still reeling in surprise that she really knew about it. WTF!
She calm the nerves at the back of my palm by caressing it and casually said the more surprising phrase that caught me off guard.
Sarah: Don't do it... Hindi pa sila ready.
This made my mouth agape for more than a minute or so, before I utter some few words.
Matt: Love.... Come on.... Seriously?
I can't remember the reasons that she stated as my mind just shut down at that moment.
I can't believe... I can't believe HER.
Sarah's POV
Araw-araw na lang akong ganito.
Parang may mali, parang may kulang.
Tama naman ang ginawa ko 'di ba?
I can't be that selfish gayong alam ko naman na hindi pa handa sila Mommy at Daddy.
Pero ano 'tong takot na nararamdaman ko?
Bakit parang may naiba kay Matt?
Bakit kahit anung kumbinsi ko sa sarili ko na wala, nakakarinding katotohanang meron talaga... merong problema.
Bakit ngayon? Bakit ngayon pa?
Bakit? Kailan ba dapat?
Biglang bumalik at parang nagpanting sa tenga ko ang mga tanong ni Matt nung gabing yun.
Bakit hindi?
Bakit hindi pa ngayon?
Kailan?
Kailan pa?
Hanggang kalian?
Natakot ako sa huli niyang tanong na "hanggang kalian".
At heto, umiiyak na naman ako sa hindi ko malamang dahilan.
Nang mahimasmasan, sumilip ako sa unang palapag at nakita ko sila... sina Mommy at Daddy.
Parang may kumirot ng bahagya dito sa dibdib ko.
Marahil... Naitawid na agad ng puso ko sa utak ko...
