Saji Argelia's Point of View.

My brows suddenly furrowed when Ate Mia handed me the invitation because Kent Axel is really busy for his upcoming birthday. "He's twenty nine and he's still up for this kind of party huh," I sarcastically said.

"Knowing Kent Axel, he has soft heart yet he's showing the other side. I'm taking a day off for 2 days, it's his wish for everyone who'll attend." Ate Mia plastered a smirk on her lips.

"I guess his fiancé can't come, so grab it." She said and winked that made my lips parted and laugh.

"No way eonnie, I'm a good girl."

"Weh never been touch?" Nanlaki ang mata ko at natakpan ang bibig.

"Hule! Susumbong kita sino humawak diyan ha?" Nanlaki lalo ang mata ko at tsaka umiling iling.

"Si Axel," ngising sabi ko na. Nanlaki ang mata niya at napalo ako sa pwetan.

"Kayong dalawa ha!" Ngumisi ako.

"He's so conservative, ayaw pahawak eonnie." Ngumiwi siya ngunit natawa.

"Same as your brother, I guess ladies are wild in reality." Ang ngisi sa labi namin ay hindi nawala.

"'Di ka pa nadiligan?" Sa pabulong na tanong ni Ate Mia ay mabilis akong umiling.

"Wala eonnie, literal na dilig eh nabuhusan ng tubig HAHAHAHA." Natawa siya at nag-paalam na kaya naman ng makaalis siya ay ngingisi ngisi kong binasa ang invitation card.

Ang theme ng party niya ay kung anong profession o trabaho namin yung uniform namin doon ay dapat yon ang suotin sa party niya, next three days pa naman. Ibinaba ko 'yon at tsaka ako napangisi. Bar party? Nice one.

Mahina siya uminom 'di ba? Humina lang siguro kasi kaya pa niyang i-handle yung marami. Mabilis na lumipas ang araw at dumating na ang kaarawan niya kaya naman itinago ko ang regalo ko sa kaniya sa bag ko at tsaka ko inayos ang suot na uniform sa hospital.

Kinuha ko na ang ibang gamit ko at nagmamadaling lumabas ng penthouse ko, hindi naman sobrang layo ng bar mula sa hotel kaya naman mabilis akong nakarating at nagsisimula na ang party. Most of them are lawyers, there are doctors, nurses, business mens, models, some are famous actors.

Halos lahat ata nandito, I didn't expect him to have this circle of friends. "Doc!" Malakas na sigaw ni Nurse Chi kaya napangiti ako at kinawayan siya ngunit papunta pa lang sana may isang lalake na nakasuot ng isang uniform.

Pilot?

"Oh hi Doctor—" he paused and looked at my ID I was about to cover it but it's already late, "Doctor Saji Argelia Garcia. Nice name," he stated. I furrowed my brows.

"I am—"

"Captain! Naka-kita ka kaagad ng chics?" Napalingon ako sa kaparehas niyang uniform kaya pasimple akong umirap.

"Hi doc," alanganin na bati no'n kaya pasimple kong ibinulsa ang kamay ko sa doctor's coat ko.

"Uhm you should go ahead, see you later." He winked at me that made me rolled eyes and started walking.

"Luh captain! First time ma-ignore ng charm mo ha!" Ngumisi ako, the pilot is hot but I can say i'm into lawyers.

"So are you all going to have fun? Didn't expect to see you here Gavin." I glared at him that made him cover his face.

"Not Gavin doc, just a beautiful businessman." Napangisi ako at naupo sa tabi niya.

"Puso mo kumusta? Malapit ka na lumabas ng hospital." Nakangiting sabi ko.

"Okay na okay doc, no chest pain for almost 3 months. Improving right?" Tumango ako at tinapik siya sa balikat.

"Babatiin ko pa pala yung birthday celebrant bago ako pumunta rito," tumayo na ako at nag-paalam sa kanila. Habang hinahanap ko si Kent Axel ay natigilan ako ng makitang kausap niya si Leona akala ko ba hindi pupunta 'to?

Lumunok ako at aalis na sana pero may kumuha sa bewang ko at inilagay ang kamay ko sa balikat niya. "What's up doc?" Tumaas ang kilay ko at tinitigan ang pilotong makulit.

"What again?" My brows furrowed that made his lips parted and he lets go of me.

"Fine, it hurts my ego that you just ignored this face." He pointed me his face that made me smirk.

"Oh did I kinda step on it?" Ngumisi siya at hahawakan sana ang pisngi ko but then someone stopped his wrist and do a shake hand.

"Thanks for coming bro, didn't expect my favorite pilot to came." Napalingon ako kay Kent Axel na maganda ang ngiti he's simply wearing a black tuxedo and a longsleeve button up polo tucked on his black kinds fitted slacks.

He's like a vampire, all black while his hair were pushed back showing his perfect forehead and his dark black brows. "Oh attorney, of course. It's the top notcher birthday, how can I say no?" Napangisi ako at pinagkrus ang braso ko sa dibdib.

Hanggang sa tumingin sa akin si Mr.Pilot. "What?" I exclaimed that made him smirk.

"We'll see each other again my doctor crush." Ngising sabi niya kaya umirap ako at hinayaan siyang umalis after that ay hinarap ko si Kent Axel.

"You saved me, happy birthday attorney." Ngingisi ngising sabi ko but then he wrapped his arms around my waist and gently pulling me closer to his body. I smelled him, he already drank alcohol huh.

"Isn't your fiancé here?" I asked brows furrowed, lips were rose up.

"She is," napapikit ako ng halikan niya ako sa pisngi.

"Thanks for coming," ngumiti siya at binitiwan na ako. Naramdaman ko ang pag-init ng pisngi dahilan para mabilis akong mag-iwas tingin.

Ngunit natigilan ako ng makitang tinitignan kami ni Leona dahilan para mapaiwas tingin ako. "You should go to your visitors." Nakangiting sabi ko at tinapik siya sa balikat.

Nagmadali akong lumayo sa kaniya ngunit ng nasa chocolate fondue na ako ay kusa akong natigilan ng makasabay si Leona. "Hey," bati niya kaya naiilang akong bumati pabalik.

"Are you and Kent Axel good?" Natigilan ako at nakagat ang ibabang labi.

"We're friends." Pag-aayos ko ng sagot.

"Oh that's great, I'll go ahead." She stated and smile, she tapped my shoulders that made me gulped.

Why does it feel like I did something bad?

We did few drinks before Kent Axel goes to stage with a smile on his face. "I'm here to announce everyone that I'll make you meet my fiancé." Nang sabihin niya 'yon ay pinaghawak ko ang kamay at tumikhim.

"If you're not comfortable you can get some air I'll go with you." Gavin suggested.

"Let's see." Sagot ko.

"This woman completes me, I'm like a puzzle and she's the piece I needed." After he stated that a lot of man hyped him.

"We started from being stranger, to friends and we became lover. Hopefully She's still here with me," ngumiti si Kent Axel dahilan para mapaiwas tingin ako lalo na ng makita ko ang suot niyang engagement ring sa fingers niya.

I shouldn't be here right? It will just give me a heart ache.

"I'm so thankful I met you," napatitig ako sa kaniya dahil kahit nakayuko siya ay alam kong masaya siya. Hindi siya sasaktan tulad ng ginawa ko.

"I'm so thankful that even though I'm not with you always you waited for me and let me stay in your heart. Before when I still have someone," maybe that someone is me, "You still stayed and hope for us, love." Nakagat ko ang ibabang labi at napayuko.

I feel so jealous.

"Saji," nilingon ko si Gavin ngunit hinawakan niya ang dalawang pisngi ko.

"Be brave."

"You can heal yourself on your own." He stated, ngunit tumulo na ang luha ko at sa sobrang hiya ay isinubsob ko ang sariling mukha sa dibdib ni Gavin. I felt his hand on my back tapping while he's hiding me.

"Saji what's wrong?" Narinig ko ang boses ni Ate Mia dahilan para hiyang hiya akong yumuko at pinahid ang luha.

"I should take her out for air doctor, should I?" Gavin asked for her permission, I stayed hidden but I was so curious why everyone is so quiet even Kent maybe he's watching me embarrassed myself.

"Gavin let her stay," natigilan ako ng marinig si Kuya Zai.

"But she's hurting." Gavin said.

"Let her stay—" lumayo ako kay Gavin at nagmamadaling umalis sa lugar na 'yon.

"Saji." Pagtawag nila.

"Sandali Saji!"

Derederetso ng tumulo ang luha ko, hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. My tears were bursting akala ko kaya ko na, pero hindi pa 'to ang kasal ay nasasaktan na ako. Dumeretso ako sa kung saan pero natagpuan ko yung sarili ko sa gitna ng isla.

Sa buhangin kaharap ang dalampasigan dahilan para manghina ang tuhod ko at mapayuko, rinig na rinig ko ang pag-iyak ko kung kaya't hinayaan kong mapaluhod ako sa buhangin at yumuko sa sariling palad.

I thought I'm getting used to it, but no it's worsting.

Now my mind is telling me a lot. I wonder if I'm crazy 'cause it feels like I'm hearing words telling me to get drown so this pain would totally end. I shrugged, thinking it's not true.

Killing yourself won't make you free, it's a sin. That's what I'm believing, I wiped my tears. I pulled out my necklace, removed it and put it in my palm.

"Saji," nang marinig ang boses ni Kent Axel ay ibabato ko na sana ang kwintas ngunit natigilan ako ng makita ko ang pagbagsak ng singsing na hawak niya habang nandoon ang kwintas.

Natigilan ako ng mapansin na wala na ang sing sing niya sa daliri, nakalagay na rin ito sa kwintas tulad ng sa akin. Tiningala ko siya habang may luha pa ang mga pisngi ko. "W-Why are you here?" Bulong ko.

"You should go there and have fun. Announced your engagement with your fiancé." Bulong ko, habang nakaupo sa buhangin ay hindi ko inaasahan na papantayan niya ako.

Tulad ko ay naupo rin siya. "You still don't get it don't you?" His voice were so calm like the sea.

"What?" Pabulong kong sabi.

"That we can't be together? I'm accepting it don't worry. You don't have to worry anymore," pinilit kong ngumiti at pinahid na naman ang luha kong tumutulo ngunit natigilan ako ng sandaling dumilim ang kalangitan.

Ngunit mas natigilan ako ng may mga lantern na lumipad sa ere sa paligid namin. "It now begins." He whispered, nanlaki ang mata ko ng makita ang araw at buwan na nagtapat.

"W-What the—" nasapo ko ang sariling bibig ng makita kong kinuha ni Kent Axel ang sing sing sa kwintas namin at pinagdikit.

My eyes literally widened, there's an engraved small sun on his ring and moon on mine. Natulala ako ng makita sa loob ng sing sing niya ang pangalan naming dalawa.

Tulad ng sing sing ko. Kasunod no'n ay nakalagay ang word na eternally, hindi ko maintindihan!

Ang mga tao sa loob ng bar ay nakangiting nakatingin sa amin, ang iba sa kanila ay kumukuha ng kitrato at ang iba ay may hawak na pusong umiilaw. "Our eclipse has begun again," napatingin ako kay Kent Axel.

"H-Huh? I-I don't get it," bulong ko pa.

He rolled his eyes and smile, "you're the fiancé I'm talking about, you had the engagement ring I gave you before leaving." Napatitig ako sa kaniya, my mind feels so slow!

"H-Huh? Papaano nangyari 'yon?" Tanong ko.

His lips parted before chuckling, "I told you to wait until our eclipse Saji Argelia. I always keep my word, If I told you i'm going to marry you. I will unless you already have someone but thank god you don't," ngumiti siya at pinahid ang luha ko.

"I told you even if our eclipse is finished, always wait for our time." Tumulo ang luha ko at hinampas siya sa dibdib.

"But I can't just hold onto that! You asshole!" Singhal ko.

"You answered me that day, our time to meet again?" Napatitig ako sa kaniya.

"Guys! Sorry but this will be long!" Nakangising sabi niya kaya naman narinig ang tawanan ng iba.

"You said 'even if you misses me look at the moon, I'll look at the sun even if it hurts my eyes' I don't know what you mean by that but I guess seeing your sun in love with someone hurt." Ngumuso ako at naluha na naman.

"You're a jerk! How could you memorize all of that huh?!" Singhal ko.

"I memorized the law," he stated that made my lips parted yet tears are over flowing.

"I realized how everyone wanted to see the sun rises, but I love how sun set so he could give the moon time for herself. And that's what I did, We both waited for each other to rise and to set until they both in the same place at the same time." His tears flowed but his lips smiled.

"I told you, I'll wait until our skies meet again." Umawang ang labi ko at tinitigan siya, inalalayan niya akong tumayo.

"Yes you hurt me, but at the same time you saved me. I love myself now, like how you taught me. Thank you," wika niya at hinawakan ang pisngi ko.

"I already heard those things, kung hindi ako umalis siguro ay maayos tayo. Maybe we already had a family. But it's not yet too late, marry me Saji." Napatitig ako sa kaniya.

"Marry me, be my wife, let our eclipse be eclipse forever." My lips started twitching and so is he, his tears flowed but he wiped mine and cupped my face using his warm palm.

"A-Ah.." nakagat ko ang ibabang labi at nag-iwas tingin.

"You're not yet ready?" He whispered.

"No it's not t-that, I am just shy." Bulong ko.

Mahina siyang natawa at kinuha ang kamay ko. "Don't worry, I'm not asking for your permission to marry me. There's no question mark, it's a demand." Umawang ang labi ko ng isuot niya ang sing sing sa kamay ko.

"Wow ha, wow." Bulong ko.

"Of course I'm amazing love. I am so amazing so you have to marry me," he announced.

"I want to kiss you until our eclipse is done so we can seal it forever." Ngising sabi niya kaya tinignan ko ang dahan dahan na paghiwalay ng araw at buwan.

Napatitig ako sa kaniya ng hawakan niya ang kamay ko. "We'll be back! Continue the party!" Malakas na sabi ni Kent Axel at tinangay ako papaalis doon, nanlaki ang mata ko ng kawayan niya ang yate.

"Hoy! Iiwan mo party mo!" Malakas na sigaw ni Kuya Zai.

"Yeah! We'll be back!" Malakas na sabi ni Kent ng makasakay kami sa yate ay sinabihan niya ang captain ng yate at tsaka niya ako inakay paibaba.

"We can still see the eclipse at the circular window." He announced, he locked the door and we get to the couch to see the eclipse.

"W-Where are we going?" Kinakabahan kong tanong but he wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me closer, I was about to push him but then he lifts my chin using his pointy finger. He stares at my eyes.

"The moon is beautiful isn't it?" Nangunot ang noo ko, I was about to ask a question yet he leaned and give my lips a kiss.

He planted my lips a lot of soft kisses until he grabbed the side of my neck and guided my face to the right while he's on left. His lips were brushing on mine, his tongue tried to enter so I gave him an entrance he wanted.

His kiss became deeper and I'm feeling hot already, our lips parted that made me open my eyes he glanced at the moon and sun and announced. "It's already done," napatitig ako sa kaniya.

He glanced back at me and licked his lips that made me swallowed hard. "The meaning behind my 'the moon is beautiful isn't it' in Japanese is I love you." He emotionally said that made me shocked.

This man is everything!
