Pagkapasok pa lang ni Maxim sa living room ng bahay ni Nicholas, nakita nya kaagad itong nakaupo sa sofa at nakahilig ang ulo nito sa sandalan. Nakapikit ang binata na hindi nya tiyak kung tulog ba ito. Pero ng makita nyang bahagyang gumalaw ang kamay nitong may hawak na cellphone, alam na nyang gising ito at nakikiramdam lang sa paligid.
"B - Babe!" Nag aalangang tawag nya dito.
Unti unti namang dumilat ang mga mata ni Nicholas at bumaling sa pinanggalingan ng boses. Masaya sya na makita si Maxim pero may tampo pa rin sya dito, dahil ang pangako nitong 2days lang na mawawala naging 5days dahil mula Singapore nag Japan pa ito kasamang tatlong kaibigan nito.
"Babe, sorry na... please!.." Ngumiti si Maxim para maibsan ang kabang nararamdaman.
Saka nagpapaawa ang mukhang naglakad ito palapit kay Nicholas. Umupo ito sa tabi ng kasintahan at niyakap ito ng mahigpit. Pero di man lang natinag si Nicholas, ni hindi nga ito nagsalita kaya napabitaw ng yakap si Maxim dito, hinawakan nyang kamay nito, saka hinalikan ito saglit sa labi at pagkatapos hinawi nyang buhok saka ngumiti ng matamis dito. Yun ang secret weapon nya para mapalambot ang kasintahang nagtatampo sa kanya. Tumalon talon ang puso nya ng napatawa si Nicholas sa kanyang ginawa, bigla syang kinabig nito palapit saka hinalikan sa ulo at niyakap.
"Hayy... I don’t know what’s in you that I can’t stay mad at you even for a minute. With just a simple pout of your lips, or one sweet smile or one simple hug, everything seems to feel so right. I want to stay mad at you, make you feel how pissed off I am and that I don’t wanna talk to you. But by just looking at your face, every inch of anger starts fading away. And I just hate it. I hate how easy it is for you to make me smile again. In just a single blink, you could take me away. I just hate how simple it is for you to erase all my burdens away and make me feel that I don’t have anything to worry about and be angry of. With just one hug and a kiss, you can make me throw all the negative vibes away. I just hate how easy it is for you to hold my hand, flash a puppy eyes in front of me, and then I forgive you. Just like that. I hate how adorable you are. I hate how cute you are. I hate how sweet you are. I hate everything. And I just hate hating everything because in just one look, I ended up falling in love with you, over and over again."
"Yeey... Love you Babe, mwah... " Tuwang tuwa si Maxim, lalong tumataba ang puso nya kapag lumalambot na ng ganito si Nicholas. Kasi, ibig sabihin lang nun pwede na syang magda moves sa mga binabalak nyang gawin.
"Babe, Someday, we’ll go to Japan together. Let’s travel hand in hand on the wonderful Land of the Rising Sun. I want to watch the beauty of Mountain Fuji with you. I wanna take a walk along its famous streets as pink cherry blossoms fall along our way. We’ll visit its old temples and Torii. We’ll ride the famous Bullet Train and experience its extreme speed. I want to wear their cultural clothing, the Kimono. And you’ll wear the same too. We’ll eat different Japanese foods together like our sushi and sashimi. And before we leave that place, we will make sure that we’ll learn how to speak even a little Nihongo. Watashi wa anata o aishite."
Napatawa naman si Nicholas sa sinabi ni Maxim.. "So, ngayon, isasama mo na ako sa mga paglalakwatsa mo ganun ba yun, hmm?"
"Of course, then, Someday, we’ll go to Venice together. We’ll enjoy the beauty of that small yet very romantic city in Italy. That little city separated by small canals and linked by little bridges that’s why it’s called “The Floating City”. I have been dreaming of going to this place with you. It’s very romantic to imagine you and me, sitting on one of its famous canoes, a violinist plays a love song for us as we have our tour around the city. And oh! I won’t forget to taste their delicious Italian dishes with you. A dinner date with you on one of the famous restaurants in the city would be very unforgettable. We’ll also try to wear their traditional clothes, you, having a fake mustache and overlarge hat, and me, wearing a colorful camisa and a long black skirt. Isn’t that cute? Yes, it is. Ti amo, Cara." Dagdag pa nya na nagniningning ang mga mata habang nakatitig kay Nicholas.
"And then, after that... What else we wanna do next?" Tila naman naa amused na pakikisakay ni Nicholas sa lakwatserang girlfriend.
"We’ll go to London together. That beautiful city in England. Can you imagine how sweet it is holding your hands along the streets of that unbelievably wonderful place? Imagine, how we’ll run along the streets of London until we reach that Big Ben clock tower and wait until it strikes twelve. We’ll talk endlessly about things, laughing our hearts out with our own corny jokes. We’ll reminisce those times since we first met each other until we became couples. We’ll take pictures together especially inside that red telephone box and in that famous London Bridge. We’ll also visit that one big bookstore where old books were displayed. We’ll ride that red London double decker bus and enjoy the royal feeling of the place. All I ever wanted is to be with you in this place, and that would be very memorable. I love you."
"Hmm... Napaka sweet talaga ng Babe ko.." Niyakap ng mahigpit ni Nicholas si Maxim na mabilis namang kumalas sa kanya at nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita.
"Wait lang Babe, dipa ako tapos eh...someday, we’ll go to Paris together. The famous City of Lights and Love. The place every love couples dreamed to visit together. We will sit on one of its parks as we gazed up the beautiful Eiffel Tower. We’ll watch every couples that walk in front of us, hand in hand, like us. We’ll talk about things, like our future and our plans in life, as we eat our ice cream together. We’ll visit fairs and ride the Ferris Wheel. It’s very romantic right? If we’re already too tired to keep on walking, we’ll rest inside their famous cafes and sip their delicious and relaxing coffee. It would be really fun playing around with the funny mimes around the city. And before the day ends, we’ll go inside one of its Catholic churches and thank God for that wonderful day that He had given us. That would be the best day ever! Being with the one I love in that place I’ve dreamed to visit someday. I could never ask for more. As long as you are here by my side, nothing could ever compare to the happiness I feel inside. Chérie je t'aime." Kaylapad ng pagkakangiti ni Maxim na humarap kay Nicholas na nakangiti rin sa kanya.
"Yes Babe, Someday, we’ll travel around the world together. I love you so much Maxim Arvilla."
"Mahal din kita Nicholas Lim, mahal na mahal."
Pinagdikit pa ni Nicholas ang mga noo nila ni Maxim saka pinagkiskis ang tungki ng mga ilong nila.. Sabay pa silang napatawa na dalawa dahil sa mga nabuo nilang pangarap na balang araw ay magkasama nilang tutuparin at aabutin.
