Xyla’s POV

Xylo’s candle light message ended with his best friend, Lirex. Imbis na maiyak, natawa lang ako sa message niya. Ginawa nilang comedy yung supposed to be heart-warming message. Napakaswerte ni Xylo for having a friend like him.

Soon the lights turned off at nabigla ako nang magspotlight sa pwesto ko’t nagulat akong nakatayo si Mama’t may hawak na kandila’t mikropono. Teka lang… candle light message rin para sakin? Wow… Kahit candle light man lang, meron ako. Na touch ako sa message ni Mama, nina Tita Cathy, Tita Sab, Xylene at Xytee at di ko akalaing magmemessage rin ang mga pinsan ko sa side ni Mama’t Papa. Andito si Dandee, si Lae at ibang mga kaclose ko’t mga kinakapatid ko. Pati narin sina Nerdy, Treshia, Mey at Karren. Di ko ineexpect ‘to. Last na nagmessage si Bel at ang tatag ko dahil hindi ako naiyak. Sobra-sobra akong natouch.

I thought I would go on stage after that but suddenly, the lights turned off again and the large screen on the stage played a photo slides of a baby with a background music… wait… its… me. Nilingon ko si Mama pero di ko Makita ang expression niya dahil madilim. Napaharap ako ulit sa screen nang biglang magplay yung isang video. It was Papa holding a baby.

“Hey everyone, I want you to meet my first princess, Xandria Laurene. Look at this cute little Angel… I’m glad she was born in this world. I’m the happiest father having her by my side.”Papa kissed the baby me and I can’t help myself when tears escaped from my eyes. I’m so lucky to have a father who was happy that I was born.

“Hey look! She opened her eyes…”Papa was smiling while looking at the baby me.

“Baby Xyla, can you see the world? Papa would give you everything in this world… for my dear princess…”Bigla nalang nagspotlight sakin pero patuloy yung pagplay ng video. Patuloy lang din akong naiiyak.

“For Papa, you’re just the world…” Mas lalo akong naiyak ng sabayan ni Papa yung sinabi niya sa video at lumapit siya sakin and handed me a Le Cygne. I get it and he offered his hands. I put my hand to his and he helped me to stand up. He leads me at the center while the spotlight was pointing at us. Soon the orchestra starts playing.

[Playing : Cinderella – Steven Curtis Chapman]

She spins and she sways,

To whatever song plays

Without a care in the world

“Papa…” I bit my lower lip to help myself stop from crying but I can’t help it. Niyakap ko nalang si Papa habang nagsasayaw kami sa gitna. Napapatingin ako sa screen at Nakikita ko doon yung mga pictures ko noong bata pa ako. I was so bubbly that time. Napakacute kong bata. Bigla nalang may nagsalita sa screen pero tuloy lang yung pagslides ng photos ko.

So I will dance with my Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

“To my princess, Xandria Laurene, when you’ve reach this world, that was the best gift I ever had. I love you baby… Papa loves you so much and so proud of you. Happy 21st Birthday!” Mas hinigpitan ko ang yakap ko kay Papa. He soon released from the hug and wiped my tears away.

Oh I will dance with Cinderella

I don't want to miss even one song

'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone

“I love you hija. I’m very proud of you.” He kiss my forehead and hugged me again. I whispered thank you and I love you too. Soon Tito Zache gets my hand from Papa and gives me another peony. Napatingin lang ako sa kanilang dalawa.

“Don’t tell me this is…”

“Your 21 peonies dance.” They both said. Papa walked away as Tito Zache dance with me.

“You’re too clever to hide everything from me, Tito.”

“Unless it’s for you. You know, your Papa planned all this for two years and he wants it to be perfect for the both of you.” I hug Tito and we keep dancing as the music played. After Tito Zache, another song played and Tito Zhayne dance with me. Natapos yon at puro iyak lang ako sa tatlong lalaking isa sa may pinakamahalagang parte sa buhay ko.

Naiwan ako sa gitna na may hawak na tatlong magkakaibang peonies. These are my favorites… but I’m thinking who would give me my most loved peony. Another song played at nakaspotlight parin sakin at nagpupunas lang ako ng luha when I suddenly saw an image walking towards me. Natawa nalang ako ng Makita ko si Kris sa harap ko.

“Don’t tell me that you boys were part of this surprise?” He handed me another peony.

“I’m happy to say yes.” He put his left hand on my waist and his right hand was holding my left while my right hand’s holding the flowers.

“You’re beautiful.” He said. I know I am beautiful but it’s weird that my heart pounds when he told me those words. Napaiwas tuloy ako ng tingin sa kanya at halos mapanganga ako ng Makita ko yung picture namin ni Kris dun sa screen.

“The heck! Who took those pictures?”

Kris’ POV

[Playing : For The First Time – KC Concepcion/Jed Madela]

Are those your eyes, is that your smile
I've been lookin at you forever
But I never saw you before

Ang ganda niya. Napakaswerte ko’t isa ako sa nagsasayaw sa prinsesang ‘to. She wasn’t a real princess but, for me… she is. I just keep looking at her and I just can’t take off my eyes from her. I was captivated by her beauty… who wouldn’t? Iniwas niya lang ang tingin niya.

For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are

“The heck! Who took those pictures?” She exclaimed more on whispering. I look at the screen and I saw our photos. Napangiti nalang ako. Hindi pa yata nasasabi sa kanya ni Bel. Tuloy-tuloy lang sa pagslide yung mga pictures naming dalawa habang patuloy kaming nagsasayaw. An image pop out on the screen and it was the moment when I and her was pillow fighting at the sala. Ang saya niya sa larawang yan.

Can this be real, can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
And are you the same you
It's all so strange how can it be
All along this love was right in front of me

“Hi, Xyla. Just want to say happy birthday. Although we’ve been together for less than a year, I’ve known you that much. A sweet, irritable, funny, kindhearted and a little monstrous princess, that’s what you are. *giggled* Nah, you’re too adorable. I wish more birthdays for you and thank you for coming to our lives. I love you Xyla! Always remember that I’m always here for you… Happy 21st birthday!” I chuckled a little and blush. Why did I tell that? Natawa tuloy nang bahagya yung mga guests. I look at her and she’s looking at me but tears were flowing from her eyes.

“You forgot to tell something, Kris. You didn’t even state that I was unique.” Haha… so demanding princess… Niyakap ko nalang siya at huminto na sa pagsasayaw.

For the first time I'm seein who you are

I can't believe how much I see

When you're lookin back at me

“I love you… happy birthday.” I whispered.

“I love you too. Thank you for being there with me.” Oh, Xyla... Iniwan ko na siya doon at umalis na nakangiti. It’s been nice to have her in my life. Now I see Suho walking towards her.

When you're lookin back at me

Now I understand why love is...

Love is... For the first time...

[A/N : Ang ganda ng kanta. Tugmang-tugma. Syet~ kilig kilig overload~ XyRis is here!]

Suho’s POV

[Playing : Speechless – The Veronicas]

Kris leaved her at the center and it’s my turn. Another song played and I walk towards her. I look at the big screen at the stage and I blush when I saw our pictures sliding on the screen. Bel really did take some good stolen shots huh?

“Suho…” Ngumiti ako sa kanya at inabot ang hawak kong bulaklak.

Falling head over heels

Thought I knew how it feels
But with you it's like the first day of my life

“Happy Birthday Princess Xyla.” I said and she smiled. Hinapit ko siya sa bewang and we start dancing with the music playing around. Ang ganda niya. Nakakaspeechless ang ganda niya. Napakaswerte namin ng makilala namin siya’t makasama. My life was plain back then but when she arrived, she gave colors to it.

I thought I could resist you
I thought that I was strong
Somehow you were different from what I've known
I didn't see you coming
You took me by surprise and
You stole my heart before I could say no

“You’re handsome.” She said and my cheeks heatened more as for my heart, it woudn’t stop pounding oddly. Napangiti nalang ako’t napaiwas ng tingin. I saw our photo on the screen at halos mapangiti ako. That was the time when I and her was at the Mall holding each other’s hand, having a date. Teka… I don’t remember Bel being with the others that day…

You leave me speechless
When you talk to me
You leave me breathless

The way you look at me 

“Happy Birthday Xyla. Even though I wasn’t on your 18th birthday because we still don’t know each other back then, I’m glad that I’ve been part of one of your special days. I thank God for bringing you in our life. You were one of those reasons why everyone needs to smile each day. Thank you for being Xyla. I love you princess and I will always will… Like what I always tell you… I’m right here and I’m glad to be your handkerchief always… Happy 21st Birthday!” We’re still dancing and when I look at her, she’s smiling at me but tears were streaming down to her face. Sa lahat ng pag-iyak niya, ito ang gusto ko. This was the best cry because she wasn’t hurt or something but she was happy.

“I think I need my yankie now.” She mumbled and hugged me. I chuckled as I pat her back.

You leave me speechless
(the way you smile, the way you touch my face)

“Shh… wag kang umiyak. You’re the most beautiful woman right now, don’t ruin your make-up.”

“It’s water proof. You’re stupids to hide this from me. Marami kayong dapat ipaliwanag sakin bukas.” Soon the song ended and I need to leave her even I still want to dance her till the night ends.

You leave me speechless

You leave me breathless

“I need to go. I love you Xyla.” I said and fix her bangs.

My soul is shining through

I can't help but surrender
My everything to you

“I love you too… all of you.” Ngumiti lang siya at iniwan ko na siya doon at bumalik sa upuan ko. When I say I love you to her… I mean it.

~~~

A/N : Ehem! Anong I mean it Suho ha?

Naiiyak ako sa mga songs. Feeling ko ako si Xyla. XD Feeling niyo ba kayo rin siya?
