Can I Be Your Queen For Real?

"Last day na ngayon ng play pretend natin." Fiona said. Nagkatitigan sila waring parehong napapaisip kung anong salita ang bibigkasin. "So, ano na?" sabay nilang tanong. Napangiti silang pareho at muling tahimik na nagtitigan.

"I understand, today you have to make a decision. Alas-otso pa lang naman, the day isn't over yet. You still have four hours before you decide. Let us please spend the remaining four hours together....here." wika ni Eumir.

"Here?" Wala sa sariling nabanggit ni Fiona. May kakaiba syang nararamdaman. Magkahalong tension at kaba dahil di niya rin alam kung paano niya sasabihin ang desisyon niya and it seems there is a certain sensation somewhere with just the thought of how they might spend the remaining hours together."Ok, then." Namumulang sagot ni Fiona.

Isang oras na ang nakalipas, nakaupo lang pa din silang dalawa. Nagpapakiramdaman kung sino ang unang babasag sa katahimikan. May kinuha si Eumir sa kuarto at lumapot ito kay Fiona.

"Close your eyes." He said na sinunod naman ng dalaga. Slowly he opened the box and asked Fiona to open her eyes to see what's inside. It's a pair necklace with both their initials embedded on each of the pendants.

Kinuha niya ang isa with his initials and put it on Fiona's neck, Fiona did the same. "Whatever your decision would be, please don't forget all the beautiful memories we had. I have never been happier all my life than the whole month we were together. To me it wasn't a pretend love affair. I loved you since the time I laid my eyes on you, I love and I guess I will never stop loving you." Eumir said.

Manghang-manghang si Fiona sa mga sinabi ni Eumir. She can't help but hug him. She's crying again. This time it's pure bliss that she felt. It is though all her brokennes was healed. How can such a man love so honestly. Anong karapatan meron sya para mahalin ang isang tulad ni Eumir. Anong karapatan meron sya para saktan at tanggihan ang usang taong wagas na nagmamahal sa kanya.

Hindi sukatan ang haba ng panahon ng pagkakakilala nila sa isa't-isa. It seems like they knew each other since hey were born. It feels like she actually belongs to him. And Gerald, yes she loved him too and she does regret those years. He met him to prepare her for Eumir, just like what her Mama told her.

She decided that she will give it another try, not thinking what tomorrow would bring. It doe snot matter if she gets hurt again. That is part of the loving. One must accept whatever consequences love may bring to be truly happy.

"Mr. Eumir Legaspi..." napalunok si Fiona ng laway bago nadugtungan ang sinabi. " Can I be your queen for real?"

Halos lumundag si Eumir. "But of course Hon, you can very well be. I want you to be my queen for real, for life." He hugged her and she reciprocated his embrace. "Salamat sa tiwala, hindi ko mapapangako that our love affair will be a bed of roses, there will surely be thorns, but as long as we love each other and trust each other, we can get through it all." buong puso sambit ni Eumir.

Walang mapaglagyan ng tuwa ang binata. Sa puso at isip niya, alam niyang si Fiona na ang nakalaan para sa kanya. Now he can fully claim her.

"I love you" Fiona said. "I love you more." Eumir answered. "Can we we our first official kiss now?" pabirong tanong ni Eumir. Napairap si Fiona, tinatanong pa ba yun.

They kissed and this time, they did it so passionately. No more hang-ups, no more worries. Halik na puno ng pagmamahal at respeto. Puro, walang takot, walang pagkukunwari. Indeed there is nothing more magical ng love. It could really be possible that there is heaven on earth when you one with the one you love.😍😘😍😘😍😘
