Hiraya really knows how to spice up the day. She's so much fun to be with. Kahit kailan hindi ka ma-bo-bored.

Naalala ko noong gabi bago ang operasyon ko na sinabi ko kay Hiraya na balak ko siyang kilalanin ng husto.

Well. She didn't forget about it because our day was spent by getting to know each other.

Naghanda talaga siya dahil maglalaro daw kami. She sat at the edge of the bed, facing me. Linagay niya rin ang adjustable table sa gitna namin saka pinatong ro'n ang isang box na naglalaman ng mga papel. Category daw tapos saka kami sasagot sa white board niyang dala.

Pabor naman sakin dahil hindi pa ako gano'n kakumportable magsalita ng magsalita.

"Oh ayan ha. Dahil nasa ospital pa tayo, gagawan natin ng paraan. Kaya naman natin magkakilala kahit nandito tayo. Basta sasagot lang tayo pareho sa questions na mabubunot dito."

She was so bubbly. Parang batang excited sa larong pinauso niya. I wanted to laugh at her but she seemed so serious about it kaya hinayaan ko na siya.

The day was filled with laughter and too much information. Pakiramdam ko tuloy sa isang araw nakilala ko na buo niyang pagkatao.

I learned about her. I learned that her favorite color is yellow but sometimes it can be orange (depending on her mood). I learned that she has sweet tooth 'cause she likes pastries. She want fried rice rather than white rice because it's more flavory. Her hobby (aside from cooking) is interacting with kids at their village, she also enjoys playing with them at times. She also has a habit of unconsciously biting her nails when her mind is floating somewhere and continuously talking when she meet a stranger.

Clearly, these very small details I learned about her make a big difference.

I looked at her with amusement, I never thought that one day I'll be this fond of someone. I just wish I would have met her earlier.

But maybe, now is the perfect time because today, I realized that I don't want to waste any more minute of my life. I want to live it with Hiraya by my side so I told her that.

"Ang sweet?! Ikaw na ba 'yan, Jack?! Asan na si Boy Sungit? Wehhh? Eh kaya mo naman 'yan kahit wala ako, ikaw pa? Pero sige na nga, gusto rin naman eh! Hahah!"

I smiled. If it's just possible to get up in here and heal fast, I will give anything to Hiraya. I will make sure to make her happy like the way she's making me feel right now.
