I'm home, scrambling to get everything together. Last minute purchase at the mall? Check. Prints? Check. Splashed on some cologne, change of clothes, brushed my teeth. Put everything into the Red Corolla and I was off.On the road, I recounted everything that ran through my head earlier in the day. Also wondering why my heart kept beating fast. And it kept getting faster. Relaxed myself by listening to good tunes on the radio. Exited Sucat and kept going. So far so good. I guess I spoke too soon. Entering into President's Road, my car temperature went beyond half. And down again. Then up again. Shit. Oh no. Saw the nearest car shop. We opened the radiator cap. A beautiful fountain comes out. It's a bit hot, some went on to my head. Oh dear, we're in trouble. Called Karl to tell him I got held up coz of the car. Called my folks, too. Fortunately they were in the area. They dropped by. We checked the car to see what was wrong. In a move which makes me appreciate my parents for always being there for me, they yielded their car to me and brought mine home. I love my parents. They're great. Karl thought I got lost and was surprised that I didn't have a hard time with his directions. Took a short breather and a glass of water as Karl took a smoke first. Talked a bit about Marvel Ultimate Alliance as well as great comic book stories. After a short trip to Ruins to pick up a gift, we headed to the airport.Nervous levels? Tremendously high. Prayers to make it on time? A bombardment of them. Heartbeats? Like the Kentucky Derby. Excitement? Beyond peak levels. My heart seemed to want to get out. 6pm, we just parked. Karl's remix of "Save Room" by John Legend in my head (remix meaning every line ends with TITE). Ran to the main office. Contact took a while to get down. Didn't mind, Karl and I relaxed on the airplane chairs. Chicken or fish jokes are the shite. Contact arrives, gives us our IDs. We walk to the arrival area to rehearse. A short run through to make sure everything went smooth until.. she texted. They had just landed! They arrived too early! Places, everyone! People started coming in and wondering why this guy holding flowers is flanked by two guys with posters? And there she was. She saw me. She became red as a tomato. And then hid behind her friends, who dragged her to me. I hugged her. I missed my girl sooo much. I looked at her with a smile on my face. As I spoke to her, words came out of my mouth, I felt my heart beating even faster. I was a nervous wreck trying to keep it together. I said everything that my heart wanted me to say. Everything about her. How wonderful she was, how great she's been in my life.. how everything about her has made me a better person.. how I thought I had lost her a long time ago, only to find that I'd still have her, and I'd never let go. She's my everything, and no other guy could love her more than I can. That'd be impossible. And there I was, telling her I love her, and then.. taking a knee. And as I popped open the box, and said my heart stopped that very moment when I said these words. "Lorena Alto.. Will you marry me?" The world stops, even with everyone else giggling in the background. My life ended that instance. My world stopped. I was dead for a few seconds. And then I came back to life.. "YES"
I am the happiest man alive, and she's the most wonderful girl in the entire world. I love you, Lorena. You make this life worth living, you make the hell phase worth going through every time. For you, it will always be worth it.
I LOVE YOU. :) Post a comment in response: |
