My version of A Walk to Remember...
As always, its a sunny morning. I did wear my sunblock so Im safe under my umbrella.
Wait, is that him? He was like an ant from afar. But though my eyes dont see him clearly, my heart does. Oh geeeh, its him! Suddenly, my heart started to beat fast. Please dont let him see me, Lord. I dont want to walk with him. What are we going to talk about? A lot of thoughts came rushing in.
But even before I could think more, I heard his voice.
Hi Viv! Good morning! Its a nice morning, isnt it?
I thought I would die with heart attack but I still managed to answer, It always is.
This morning was the best quiet time I ever had. The Lord has been so great, he said.
I remember the day I asked him out of the blue if he was a Christian. I saw stars flying around him when he said yes. Now, I know what Cloud 9 really is. Could he be my Mr. Right? Gods Best, is that you?
He continued, Anyway, I know its unlikely to talk to you about a serious matter early this morning but..
Oh no! What is he gonna tell me! I dont want to hear anything.
Did he spot me when my jaw dropped the first time I saw him in school? Did he notice that it was a conspiracy between me and Tin that is why he ended up beside me at lunch the other day? Did he feel that I was smiling at him more than anyone else in school? Did our headmaster talk to him about teacher-student relationship? I dont know. I dont want to know.
I was wondering if I could invite you out for dinner. Is there a possibility that I will get a yes? he finally blurted out.
I wanted to slap myself. Is this a dream? If it is I dont want to wake up forever! Is this really happening?!?!?!!?!? Is he actually asking me out?!?!
YES YES YES!!! My heart shouted. I want to grab his hand and tell him I LOVE YOU! I am ready to marry you anytime. You can have me forever. My heart is yours!
But conservative as I am, I pretended to be a Maria Clara and acted as if I was scanning my schedule in my head.
I smiled first and said, That would be nice. Sure.
I just want to thank you for being so nice to me. I was so depressed when I got here. I never told anyone in school about this but I moved to the Philippines because I wanted to get away with something.
Which is..? I asked. Hmmm.. what could that be?
I just broke up with my girlfriend. It was a huge fight that I thought of ending my life. I cant live without her.
Almost teary eyed I said, Sorry to hear that.
Its ok. Well yeah. Its ok now. We both realized we love each other. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. So I asked her to marry me last night. Amazing! It was the best day of my life. Of course she said yes. God is really good. Always.
Great.. it was all I could say.
Ouch!
