Perfect Match (Completed)

Chapter 57 - Proposal

One of the words I could use to describe Eris is that he is spontaneous. He is really the most spontaneous guy I've ever met.

We were just watching a movie in his condo when suddenly he blurted those two words that made my heart stopped.

"Marry me." He said nonchalantly while playing with my fingers.

I gaped at him then realized my mistake. He is joking. Like before! Ayan nanaman siya sa joke na 'yan.

"Pagiisipan ko." Sabi ko.

"Bakit? I'm good for you. I have a good family background, stable job, good personality, and I have a very badass ride." Inisa isa niya sa darili ko.

Sasagot na sana ako pero nagdagdag pa siya. "And I love you."

"Fine. Yes. Happy?" I rolled my eyes. "Now, can I watch my movie in peace?"

He nodded like a child.

Doon nagsimula ang lahat. Pagkatapos nun halos araw araw niya akong sinasabihan na pakasal kami. And my answer is consistent. Laging yes and never no.

"Marry me?"

Nasanay na ako sa kanya kaya agaran ang sagot ko manahimik lang siya. "Sure."

"So what kind of wedding do you like?"

Naisip ko na 'yan at napagusapan na namin ni Rachel 'to. She would be the one to plan my wedding but without all the complicated stuff. I'm more on a simple side and Rachel is the one who wants all kinds of stuff so we really compliment each other when it comes to things like this.

"Simple lang basta nandun mga close friends and family ko. Ikaw ba?"

Nagkunyari pa siyang nagisip kaya nagexpect ako ng matinong sagot but once again, hindi na ako nasurpresa sa sagot niya. "Basta nandun ka okay na."

"Sana hindi na ako nagtanong. Ano nga?"

"Seryoso ako! Basta sumipot ka at I do mo lang okay na sa akin. I don't need a grand celebration. Gusto mo ikasal na tayo ngayon pwede rin." Ngisi niya.

"So what's next after ng kasal?" Nakiride nalang ako sa kanya. I'd like to see how he think and maybe I could get an idea.

"While wearing your dress, sasakay ka sa motor ko. We could go chasing sunset. Or sa tapsi. O hindi kaya punta tayo sa campus."

"Hmm.." I nodded while smiling. He looked cute while telling me all that because he is smiling like he is imagining it already.

"Or just drive till we run out of gas. I might teach you how to drive too. We could runaway and never look back. Anong tingin mo?"

"I think you watched too much TV. Ang traffic traffic dito sa Pilipinas plus judgemental pa mga tao. Also, runaway and never look back? Mamamatay na tayo sa gutom." Ang sinabi ko pero deep inside medyo kinilig ako at natutuwa ako dahil naiisip na niya ang future niya kasama ako.

"There goes my plan. Thanks for ruining it."

"Realistic lang ako. Masyado ka kasi mahilig manood ng TV kaya ganyan."

He then rolled his eyes at me and I just ignored him.

Ako talaga 'yung realistic sa amin dalawa at ang mas mature. I can bet all my money on this. He just looked mature on outside but his inner child is always out when he's with me. Hinahayaan ko lang siya pag tinamaan siya ng kakulitan dahil minsan lang niya nagagawa 'yun.

He has to be the mature son in front of his parents, the mature boss in the office and the mature boyfriend outside but when it's just the two of us his inner child never rests.
