None material things that would make her happy..
'Hmmm.. Interesting.. It's really helpful this Google Apps. huh.'
i. Your hugs. Even how much she loves to hug that huge stuffed bear you gave her, nothing can ever compare to the feeling that your hug can give her. The soft and warm sensation that it brings into her being is enough to keep all the pain away. All the stress. And even all the bad memories she have. That hug can make her feel like she’s actually a worthy person. That she’s not invisible. That she really does exist. Just a simple hug, and it would comfort her so much, so much that it would make her smile her heart out.
ii. One kiss. Either be on the lips, on the cheek, on her hands, on her arms or on her shoulder. Either be a minute or two, or just a simple smack. Trust me, it would bring a lot of happiness in her heart. Look at her. She looks like a very tough woman, right? But your kiss could melt her up like a piece of ice and turns her into a jelly, so cute you could pinch her hard. Every girl loves to be kissed, in a good and sweet way. Make her feel that she deserves to be respected and that she deserves to be treated like a princess. Make her feel that that kiss has no other intention but to make her realize how beautiful she is. So beautiful that you can’t control yourself but touch your lips unto her. And you won’t know, inside her chest, she melted away with her heart.
iii. Your presence. Physically, mentally and spiritually. She don’t have to see you every minute of the day. She don’t have to hear your voice every second. But always make her feel that you’re actually there. That you would never leave her. Text her. Call her. Visit her when you have time. Don’t ever make her feel that she’s all alone. That you don’t have time for her. Just a simple “Hey! Let’s have lunch together”, or “I miss you! Can we chat on Skype?”, it would definitely make her happy. She might get a little clingy and demanding for your time, but that’s because she loves you very much. And it makes her happy seeing you, hearing your voice and realizing that you’re just there, willing to stay with her, come what may.
iv. Your patience and understanding. She’s a girl. She’s moody. She’s clingy. She’s annoying, grumpy, irritable, a bit (or very) vain, and she has this period when you can’t talk to her or play jokes on her. But when she says she loves you, she mean it. All she need is for you to be patient and understanding with her very mood swings. Believe me, that’s very inevitable. Understand her especially when she have that “girly stuff” thing right under her hips. And when she feel that you understand her more than anyone else, it would make her feel loved because no matter who she is as a person, you are there, accepting each and every piece of her being.
v. You don’t have to keep giving her flowers, chocolates, stuffed toys and whatever material things you can think of. Yes, those things can make her smile, but look further. She’s smiling because of the effort that you gave just to make her happy. She’s smiling because you are willing enough to spend just for her. Because even if you give her a little flower you pick on the road, or a cheap chocolate you bought in the store, or an old stuffed animal you have at home, it would definitely make her smile because you have thought of giving her those things. It is you that could make her smile. It is your love that could make her happy. Stay with her. Love her with all your heart and she would give it back to you, even more than you expected.
"Hmmm.. May pag asa naman kaya ako kay Georgia, kung sakaling manligaw ako sa kanya?"
Kaagad nyang isinara ang laptop ng marinig ang pagbukas ng pinto at pumasok si Prince na tila pinag sakloban ng langit at lupa ang tabas ng mukha.
"Problema mo? " patay malisya nyang tanong sa pinsan na dumeretso sa kusina at pagbalik may dala ng dalawang bote ng beer. Iniabot pa nitong isang bote sa kanya bago ito umupo sa kaharap nyang single sofa.
"Si Georgia ang problema ko."
Naging alerto kaagad si King ng marinig ang pangalang Georgia.. "What about her?"
"Ang babaeng yun.." Napasimangot sya kaagad ng maalala ang pagmamaldita nito sa kanya kanina. "Hindi maka move on dun sa superman at shrek na usapan namin eh. Naku! Kapag talaga yung ka date nya makita ko, bubugbugin ko talaga yun eh! Kainis.."
'May ka date si Georgia? Patay! Naunahan nako ng kung sino sino lang? No way! Dapat ako lang ang makadate ng babaeng yun'
Napabaling ang kanyang tingin kay Prince ng bigla na lang itong tumayo matapos tunggain ang beer nito.
"Where you going? Kararating mo lang ah! Saka gabi na.. Magpahinga kana lang kaya muna."
"No! Kelangan kong bantayan ang babaeng yun, baka masalisihan ng ka date nya kawawa naman."
Napapailing na lang si King na sinundan ang pinsang lakad takbo ng ginagawa. Dumistansya sya kay Prince para makita nyang mga ginagawa nito. Sumakay ito sa kotse at ganun din ang kanyang ginawa, sumakay din sya sa sariling sasakyan at pinaharorot yun.. Ng huminto ang sasakyan ni Prince sa isang malaking bahay natiyak na ni King na bahay yun ni Georgia. Saglit lang ang pagmamasid nya sa paligid dahil lumabas ng gate si Georgia at bihis na bihis ito. Kaagad itong sinalubong ni Prince at nakita ni King na nagtatalo ang dalawa kaya napilitan na syang lumabas ng kanyang sasakyan para sana awatin ang dalawa, pero iba ang nangyari pagkakita ni Georgia sa kanya.
"Hoy! kupal, alis na chupi.. dito na si superman kaya exit kana."
Nilampasan ni Georgia si Prince na nakasunod ang tingin sa kanya.
"Nak ng tupa!... Naman! si King ang superman mo? Sure ka Georgia?"
Yung biglang harap ni Georgia kay Prince sabay duro sa mukha nito ay ikinagulat ng magpinsan.
"At bakit? Ano naman ang paki mo kung si King ang superman ko ha? Ikaw ba eh pinaki alaman ko sa kabaliwan mo kay Mia, ha? Hindi diba? Sinoportahan pa nga kita kahit na puro panlalait ang naririnig ko sa babaeng yun, tinanggap ko, kasi alam kong sya ang kaligayahan mo. Eh bakit pagdating sakin, puro ka kontra? Dapat suportahan mo rin ako dahil mag bestfriend tayo! Pulgas na'to tirisin kita dyan eh! Pinag iinit mong ulo ko palagi."
Sinuntok pa ni Georgia sa dibdib si Prince bago ito tinalikuran saka lumapit kay King sabay hila nito sa binata palayo sa lugar na yun.
"Teka lang Georgia! Mag kotse tayo, kasi malayo tong lugar nyo eh!" Awat ni King sa nakasimangot pa ring dalaga.
Walang imik na sumakay ng sasakyan si Georgia ng pagbuksan sya ng pinto ni King. Habang nagmamaneho pasulyap sulyap naman ang binata sa wala paring imik na dalaga. Ng dina sya nakatiis sa katahimikang namamagitan sa kanilang dalawa, sya ng unang nagbukas ng topic.
"San mo gustong pumunta? Nagugutom ka ba? Gusto mo kumain muna tayo?"
Ilang minutong naghintay ng sagot si King pero lapa ring imik si Georgia na ang ulo ay nakabaling sa bintana kaya hindi makita ni King ang mukha ng katabi.
"Georgia!"
Wala pa rin itong imik kaya itinigil ni King ang sasakyan sa gilid ng kalsada, saka dumukwang para silipin ang dalaga.
"Langya!" Napapalatak na napailing iling na lang si King ng makitang tulog si Georgia.
"Kaya naman pala! Siguro napagod kakatalak kanina kay Prince haha."
Pinakatitigan nyang mukha ni Georgia matapos hawiin ang buhok nitong nakatabing sa mukha nito. Maya maya napangiti sya ng marinig ang mahina nitong paghilik..
"I will never regret you or say I wish I’d never met you. Because once upon a time you were exactly what I needed. Georgia Guthrie."
