I am holding his hand while we're looking at the sky. We are accompanied by the Moon and stars. They're the ones that adorn the heavens. It's so beautiful and captivating to see.
"Love!" he called me.
"Yes, Love?" I answered. He then held my hand and get something from his pocket. My forehead creased because of that.
"W-wait, Tristan. What is that for?" I asked while wondering.
"This is my gift for you this Christmas. I want you to open this tiny box if you're already fine. Once you're really, really fine," he said gently.
"H-huh? But why?" I wondered but he just smiled lovingly at me in response.
He once again held my hand. I looked at him and our intertwined fingers. "Let's go!" he suddenly said. "Where are we going?" I asked.
He didn't reply and just pulled me away from the chairs we sat on.
There are so many people here. It seems that all of them are waiting for the Christmas Eve.
"Just wait for me here, okay?" he said and I just nodded.
While waiting for Tristan, I just look up the sky and admired its endless beauty. "What are you looking forward here tonight?" I asked the girl with a camera pointing towards the heavens.
"Well, it's because this spot is beautiful and great to capture the shooting star. But of course, nothing beats the spot on Moon Rialle. It's the most exquisite and perfect spot but unfortunately, it's very high," the girl replied warmly.
"Love!" I suddenly look back when I heard the familiar shout. Tristan was already here while carrying the snacks. I muttered "thank you" to the girl and excused myself. She just smiled at me.
Tristan then grabbed me towards the lawn. I noticed so many couples. There's already a mat that's spread on the ground and we slowly sat there. "Love, do you know that a falling star will fall at exactly 11:59 PM tonight?" Tristan said.
"Yup! The girl mentioned it a while ago," I answered.
"There will also be a fireworks display after that. I want to see it with you," he chuckled.
"Luh! Why does it seems that you're bluffing? You don't really want to witness it with me. You're even laughing!" I said while pouting.
"I love you so much, okay?" he said and kissed me on my lips.
I don't understand what's happening to me but my face heated to the point that I know I can even boil some water there!
I just diverted my gaze towards the sky. It's really beautiful! The stars are twinkling brightly and the Moon is so captivating as it illuminates the world and the heavens.
I was shocked and surprised when Tristan suddenly put something on my face. I looked at his hand and noticed a black stuff. It looks like a chocolate. He just kept laughing and laughing at me like I'm the funniest thing he ever saw in his life.
I touched and hold the stuff he rubbed on my face. It's really chocolate! My face frowned yet he kept laughing as if there's no tomorrow.
"Pfft. You look ugly, Love! Your eyeliner spread out," he said and horselaughed. I immediately get the mirror to check my face.
Ugh! This isn't an eyeliner! The mascara just spread out all over my face because of what he did! "Tristan!" I shouted hard out of irritation. I'm a annoyed to the point of almost crying but he was still laughing! I grabbed the cake and get some chocolate. When he noticed my lame plan of revenge, he quickly ran making me furious.
"Hey! You're really crazy, Tristan!" I shouted, almost crying out of embarrassment. Many people are already looking at us.
"Come back here!" I screamed once again.
"You have to catch me first!" he just chuckled heartily, "Aviory looks so ugly! Look at her."
"Shut your mouth!"
"Psh, Aviory looks so ugly!" he teased.
"I said shut up!" I kept running after him while he just kept on teasing me. He knows I'm already irratated and he's using it to his advantage. Tristan really runs fast and I just can't catch him for vengeance.
I just exhaustedly sat on the lawn. I give up. I feel like my energy has been drained. When he saw that I'm already sitting, he immediately return and sat beside me. "I thought you can catch me?" he said and gave out his annoying laughter.
"Shut up! I'm tired, okay?" I said and rolled my eyes. He just laughed and hugged me.
"You're really are grumpy!" he once again laughed before planting a soft kiss on my forehead.
"Stopped being grumpy so I won't teased you again!" said he and I just rolled my eyes again at his silly remark.
"Stop your grumpiness now and let's go!" he said and pulled me towards God knows what.
"Where are we going?!" I asked while sporting my annoyed look.
"Secret!" he replied.
We're almost at the dancing people. The music is so loud and the crowd are dancing with the beat. "Hey, Tristan! Are you sure? You know I'm not good at dancing, right?" I said, hesitation etched on my face. "So what? At least you can dance. Although you look like a bamboo when you're dancing," he teased again and I gave him a deadly look. "I don't like it here! It's so embarrassing," I said and force him to go out.
He made me face him and cupped my face. "Hey, Love. Don't be shy, 'kay? You have me, remember? I won't ever let you down. We'll just dance and nothing bad will happen. I promise. Though you're like a bamboo when you dance, they won't have a say," he chuckled while trying to boost my confidence. I smiled at him.
He knows he's successful in lifting me up. He dragged me towards the center of the dance floor. I'm not that uneasy anymore especially because the music is so good that I can't help myself from dancing and enjoy myself with the song. Tristan is also with me.
While dancing, there are few girls who tried to get between us. They're trying to block Tristan from me.
"Hey, Baby, can you be my Jasmine?" the girl said and displayed her smirk. She's beautiful, even more beautiful than me. She has this b****y red lips. She's wearing a very short skirt paired with a sleeveless shirt that made her looked hot and sexy.
"Jasmine?" Tristan said with wonder.
I can now only hear their voices. The other girls already blocked my line of vision.
"Jasmine without Jas," the girl said and caress Tristan's neck down to his shoulders.
"Sorry, baby. I already have a girlfriend," he smiled sweetly. Tristan held my hand and said, "She's prettier than you, baby. I love her."
I pulled Tristan away from the sea of people. "You bragged about me but you're still one hell of a playboy! You even called her "baby" and wink at her! I cannot believe you!" I spatted looking so pissed.
"I just called her "Baby" but you're still my Love!" he flattered.
"Psh, the audacity!"
He just laughed and shouted, "I love you, Aviory!"
"Psh, can you shut up?" I gave him a warning look. He just looked at me and whispered, "I love you, Aviory." He was smiling cutely like a lovesick pup. "Psh, you even have the guts to flatter me. You can't deceive me with your flowery words," I just rolled my eyes.
He laughed at my reaction and put his arm across my shoulder. He pulled me closer to him and we slowly walk. "I love you! I love you! I love you!" he said those words again and again while showering sweet gentle kisses all over my face. I can feel the butterflies on my stomach going wild and my face is beginning to look like a red tomato. I tried my best to suppressed it because I don't want him to think that my anger easily fades with just a little sweet gestures from him.
We went to a park. "Hey, Love, look! It's so beautiful. We can have it as a couple watch!" I said pertaining to the silver wristwatch. Tristan didn't say anything. It has a mark that says "Moon Rialle". "Ate, is the watch a real and legit silver?" I asked the saleslady. "Yes, Ma'am! It's the most exquisite watch here," she replied with a smile. "Really? You must be bluffing!" I chuckled, "kidding aside, it surely looks enchanting with those diamonds. It's cute!"
"Thank you, miss. But we should go now," Tristan said and pulled me away from the store. "Hey, Tristan! Wait a second, I still have to buy those couple watch!" I said and insisted to go back.
"I don't like it!"
"And so? I'll buy it for myself then! It looks perfect to me!"
"Don't bother already!" he said.
"Tristan, look! There's a carousel over there!" I said and pointed the huge carousel. "Aish! It's childish," he reasoned out. "It's fun!" I argued. "Haist! You want it, right? How could I say no," he finally gave in to me.
He assisted me on riding the carousel. The place isn't crowded because the people are waiting for the Christmas Eve.
"Whoo!" I screamed so loud as we go round and round the carousel.
"Aviory! You're like a child," he's voice was marked by restraint.
"I thought you said I shouldn't get shy because I'm with you?" I smiled as I remind him what he has said to me earlier.
Instead of getting angry and irratated, he just loosened up and joined me with the screams and shrieks. We're like children who just experienced riding a carousel for the first time.
"Whoo! It's so fun!" we both shouted in unison. There are people looking at us but we just ignored them. He held my hand out of the blue. His horse was just close to mine and he held up our hands. I noticed he also held up his other hand so I held mine up too. We shouted our lungs out. Tristan just joined me on whatever craziness I planned to do.
We are now heading back to the best spot to gaze at the falling star and to wait for the Christmas Eve to take place.
"Hey, Love, where are we heading?" I asked.
"To Moon Rialle, Love," he answered.
"OH, the girl said it's really beautiful out there, Love! According to her, it's the perfect place to see the falling star," I exclaimed.
The staircase was very high. It seems to take a thousand steps just to arrive at the top. We continued to go up and finally arrived after forever.
"Love, Moon Rialle is undeniably beautiful, right? I can see everything below and those huge houses and building look cute here," I said with a voice marked with amazement.
"Is it your first time here, Love?" he asked.
"In Moon Rialle? Yes!" I replied. He just smiled at me.
"Let's go down now! It's already 12:58 PM!" said a girl towards her another girl.
They both went away and Tristan and I were left. The sky just look so beautiful, so beautiful to look at.
"Love? You won't leave me alone, right?" I asked ashamed but with determination in my voice.
"L-love..." I called.
At last I finally got his attention. He stared at me innocently. Slowly his lips rose for a smile. I don't understand but I couldn't look at him. He softly put the strands of my hair behind my ear. One by one.
"Love, always remember that I love you," he said it on a tone I never heard before. It's so sweet and sincere.
Our faces are now inches away from each other. "Love, please answer me!" I plead as my eyes began to water. He continued to move his face towards me. His lips sealed mine slowly and gently. It's a sweet and passionate kiss but my tears are bitterly rolling down on my cheeks.
I embraced him tightly. I don't want him to leave me again. His arms encircled on my back and pulled me closer. His embrace always calms and comforts me whenever I'm in a fight or just simply on a bad mood. He's the only person who can control me.
"Aviory my love," he coldly said. He pulled himself out of the embrace. "Love?" I called in wonder why he did that.
"Aviory, always remember that I love you with every part of me. Always remember that I am just beside you. I will watch over you. It's about time, Aviory. I have to say goodb-" his voice was already hoarse but he tried to say it sweetly. I cut him off and put my hand on his mouth to shut him up. "Don't say that, Tristan!" I cried desperately.
I removed my hand from his mouth and pulled him for a tight embrace. My tears kept falling as he hugged me back. "Tristan, please don't leave me!" I begged. "Tristan please!" I said it with so much conviction and cried my heart out.
"I don't want to leave, Aviory, but it's time," his voice was cold and husky.
"Promised me you won't leave, please. Tristan please!" I shouted and my voice trembled.
"Tristan please!" I cried more.
I escaped from the hug and kissed him. While my tears are falling and my lips pressed on his, it was then when he slowly fade. I cried more when I slowly lose a grasp on him.
"I love you, Aviory." His last words before he was truly gone.
"Why is it so fast? Just one more minute, please! I still want to be with him!" I shouted while crying hard.
"Tristannn!" I screamed his name while continuously crying.
"Aviory! Aviory!"
I slowly opened my eyes. "Hija, why are you crying?" Tristan's mother asked. "Tita..." tears escaped my eyes. "What happened?" she asked with concern and wonder evident in her voice. "T-tristan..." I whispered.
Tita was stunned and she stopped caressing my hair. She looked astonished. I smiled crazily and wiped my tears. "I was with him before Christmas, Tita. My dream to spend time with him before Christmas..." I explained to Tita with happiness laced on my tone, "Happened," I added.
I was smiling as I told Tita what happened on the night I got to be with Tristan. "Okay, okay! You are making me cry! But I'm happy because even in heaven he still thought about you and visits you in dreams. Let's go now, it's time for the Noche Buena!" she said. "I'll just follow after awhile," I replied.
I suddenly remembered the accident. It's the day I will never forget. It was also Christmas when he was taken from me. We were already going home riding a motorcycle. We waited for the rain to stopped pouring before heading home.
"Slow down or we might get an accident," I warned him. The road is still slippery because of rain.
"We won't," he said proudly.
We are almost home when a cat unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere. Tristan loves cats and tried his best to avoid it which resulted to us crashing on the barrier. We were thrown away and I landed on a safer place. Tristan, on the contrary, landed on the rocky area. I was the only one who wore a helmet that time.
I tried to give it to him but he insisted on giving it to me because he doesn't want me gone.
I also don't want to lose him. I love him so much.
I failed to stop my tears from falling while remembering the accident that will surely hunt me for life.
I don't understand but I accidentally diverted my gaze on my pillow.
I noticed a small box that really looks familiar.
Wait, this was the box Tristan gave me.
But it was only on my dream.
I opened it and the silver wristwatch welcomed me. It was the couple watch I want for Tristan and I. Moon Rialle.
My tears just fell one by one.
It would be more beautiful if I was with him now. I'm thankful that God allowed me to be with him even just on a dream.
"I love you too, Tristan," I whispered.
