Chapter 81: Romance on the Sky (4)
With that deep voice of Cody, napakurap si Bea and napakunot bigla ang kanyang kilay. Bakit may ano ba sa labas?
But rather than asking that question Bea just threw her look sa may bintana at sumulyap sa labas na punung-puno ng nagsihulugang mga bulaklak.
"..."
Her mouth suddenly opened but no voice came. Her eyes fell on to the beautiful hill na sa baba ay isang napakalawak na rancho, there were horses, cows and sheeps. But that was not the thing that surprised her the most.
Dugdug! Her heart went racing. With that sudden emotion na umagos sa kanyang dibdib, biglang napaluha ang kanyang mga mata kasabay ng pagdry kanyang lalamunan na tila ba natonsilitis na siya. She slowly gulped and cupped her face.
Was she dreaming? Nasa langit na ba siya?
Couldn't even believe what she saw, she shut her eyes then quickly opened it again. But no. It was so clear. Malinaw na malinaw na nakita ng kanyang mga mata ang mga kumpol ng bulaklak na nakapormang mga letrang boldly saying:
CAN YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?
"My princess..." Cody gently cupped Bea's shoulder upang maiharap sa kanya. He wore a smile as he slowly held her hand.
"... noon... talagang pinagsisihan ko na hindi ko nasabi ang feelings ko sayo. Lalo na noong nagkarun tayo ng hindi pagkakaintindihan, I was so scared at baka galit ka na sakin, hindi mo na ako kausapin, hindi mo na ako pansinin kung magkita tayo. Remember the day we first met in BGC?" His shoulder slightly twitched saka niya pinisil ang kamay ni Bea. His impeccable eyebrows suddenly made a faint quiver.
The corners of Bea's lips slowly curved up as she pressed her lips together. Yes. How could she forget that day? Yun yung time na napakasaya niya at may nag-order ng latte pero laking gulat niya na bestfriend niya pala yun. Her heart melted when she reminisced such wonderful moment.
Cody continued...
"Do you know how much I prayed para mangyari ang ganun? Na someday we would meet, and once again makita ko ang mga ngiti mo sa mukha mo. But that time... I was really scared that you wouldn't say hi to me and my hunch was really right... hindi mo nga ako binati. I never felt helpless like that before, but it turned out... hindi mo pala ako nakilala. And I was very thankful of that, na hindi ka galit sakin. That time I felt, I really needed to show my affection. Not until, I realized I had become overprotective. And I am very sorry for that." The young man slowly averted his eyes from Bea as though it showed a guilt on his eyes. His face said it so too.
Wanting to comfort Cody, Bea gently caressed the back of Cody's hand.
For that, agad na napatingin si Cody sa mga mata ni Bea, and just found himself staring at a smiling eyes of the lass.
Dugdug! His heart went racing. That smile! That smile na nanggagaling sa dalaga hindi niya talaga kayang hindi titigan. It was like, kapag nakikita niya ito, parang hinuhugot ang buo niyang mga mata para hindi alisin ang paningin dito. Nakaaadik but nakasasabog ng puso.
Until, pati ang lips niya hindi na rin napigilan mapasmile. It was so glistening na tila ba masisilaw na ang buong kaluluwa and at instant, lilipad ka kaagad papuntang langit.
"But once again, I wanted to start over, from the start... with you.... my princess... And now... with all my heart... I would shamefully ask you... can you be my girlfriend?"
His deep voice soothed Bea's ears hanggang sa manlambot ang lahat niyang limbs.
Dugdug! At instant nag slow motion ang lahat. Yung mga blades ng helicopter, pati yung paghulog ng mga bulaklak, bumagal bigla. She fell on to extreme fantasy dahil sa kanyang narinig.
'Totoo ba ito?' Couldn't believe kung ano man ang nasabi ng binata, she immediately cupped Cody's face and pinched it para malamang hindi siya nananaginip.
"Hala. Cody. Naghahallucinate na ako. Totoo ba 'to? Nag-slow mo ang lahat oh." Bea eyes were fully widened habang nakanganga pang kinukurot ang mukha ng binata as though nababaliw na ito.
Cody sweetly smiled then grabbed Bea's hand from his face.
"Hindi ka naghahallucinate. This is true."
Napakurap bigla si Bea when she saw yung smile Cody. Dugdug! She cupped her chest saka napalunok.
'It was real!' She was immediately pulled from reverie. Hindi niya inexpect ang pagtapat sa kanya ni Cody. Bago siya sumakay, she thought baka mag sasight seeing lang sila and she never expected na ganto ang gagawin ni Cody.
She bit her lip when she was taken aback that she needed to answer his confession. But this time... she didn't know but her heart suddenly felt anxious. She was wavering to answer 'yes!' but she didn't want to say 'no'.
It was clear from her face that bigla siyang naguluhan. Actually she knew from herself already that she had fallen in love with the young man but with that sudden proposal... she was hugged by fear... yung takot na pumasok sa totoong relationship.
Bumukas ang kanyang labi... but no words came. Then she just pressed her lips together again.
