Brown Eyes

I

Here I am in my room, preparing for our wedding to start. This is the day that we’ve been waiting for.

I’ve been listening to our favourite song Brown Eyes by Destiny’s Child for a couple of hours now.

Naka-on repeat talaga ang tugtog kong ito. Ito kasi ang love song naming dalawa at tsaka ito ang kakantahin mamaya sa kasal namin.

While listening, I can’t help but to reminisce everything. A genuine smile appeared on my face while a single teardrop unknowingly shed down unto my eye.

================================

"Remember the first day when I saw your face,

Remember the first day when you smiled at me,

You stepped at me and then you said to me,

I was the woman you dreamed about?"

“H-hi Drey."

"Uy Khiana! Yes? May kailangan ka ba?"

" Uhm m-may sasabihin kasi sana ako sa iyo. Are you busy?"

“Not really? Why? What is it.”

(Tanginang to, hoy puso, maki-cooperate ka! Shems ang lakas ng t***k ng puso ko.)

“Ahh ehh a-ano, uhm huwag kang mabibigla ah?.”

"Hahaha promise hindi. Sige na sabihin mo na. Nakakita ka ng multo? Inaway ka na naman ni Brix?"

"Gago, hindi. Ano kasi huwag mo kong tatawanan ha? Suntok talag aabutin mo sa akin."

"Oo nga hindi talaga kahit na nakakatawa na iyang mukha mo ngayon. Hahaha."

"Ayan, hindi ko pa sinasabi tumatawa ka na. Alam mo, huwag nalang tangina mo."

"Hahaha just kidding, ito naman. Sige na, spill baby girl."

"Huwag n–"

"Sige na."

"Huwa–"

"Sige na nga sabihin mo na"

"Huwag na ng–"

"Sige n–"

"Aba ang kulit! Oo na tanginang yan, gusto kita noon pa!"

“(O.o) Uhm t-totoo b-ba ang sinabi m-mo? H-hindi k-ka n-nagbibiro?”

“Oo nga.”

“No way."

"Ay tangina. Alam ko, hindi mo ko bet."

"No. It's not like that. It's just that, naunahan mo ako."

"Huh? Anong naunahan?"

"You surprised the hell out of me. Now, Princess, it's my turn to surprise you."

"Gago anong kalokohan na naman iyan? Hoy, huwag mo akong paglaruan. Hindi porket gusto kita, hindi na kita babatukan."

"Khianna, I admired you for such a long time now.”

"Gago, huwag mo akong paglaruan."

"No, I'm serious."

“S-so p-parang m.u tayo g-ganon?”

“Kaso hindi pwede eh. You are the woman that I always dreamed about but we can't be together.”

“Then be with me for a week. Let’s be boyfriend and girlfriend for a week and let’s see if hindi parin pwede. Ok ba yon?”

“Sorry but I can't do it Khian, ayaw kitang paasahin.”

“Just give me a chance, please?”

“We can’t be together.”

“Please? Please? Please?”

“Geez, ok, if that’s what you want. So pano?”

“Mula bukas which is Sabado ay tayo na hanggang sa susunod na Sabado.”

“Ganoon ba? Then after that, we’ll cut all the ties."

"Yes."

"Nga pala, may gagawin kaba bukas?"

“Wala naman. Bakit?”

“Ahm, date tayo? Lam mo na hindi ba ginagawa iyon ng magjowa?”

“Pfft ahhaha ang epic ng mukha mo nung natatanong ka pero sige.”

“Grabe ha, epic pero gusto mo naman. Sige susunduin kita bukas 9:00 am sharp. Sige una na ako love.”

"Love mo mukha mo."
