Tricia's POV

Dinner..

"Wow I feel so loved," Tawa ko dahil todo yakap sila sakin while greeting me a happy birthday.

We're currently at a restaurant where they serve Indian Food to celebrate my 28th birthday.

"And Adrius is here." Mama announced looking at the door, and then I saw him walking towards our table.

I didn't want him to come actually but I was trying to be nice since nandon sila Tito.

"Happy Birthday," He greeted me, handing me a bouquet of red roses.

"Thanks," I politely thanked, trying to not sound cold.

We sat on our own chairs to start eating, I am starving. Nakakapagod iyong pabirthday ride nila, but I enjoyed it very much. Even Y/N joined.

"Is it good?" I asked Y/N and pointed at his drink.

He took a sip and nodded. "Masarap naman. You wanna try?"

At agad namang nagningning ang mata ko, it looks so delicious.

I took a sip and it did not let me down, masarap nga.

"Masarap rin to," I told him, lifting the drink I ordered. "Tikman mo."

He took a sip and nodded. "Wow, it's good."

I smiled, syempre ako pumili eh!

"Nako, indirect kiss yern?" Asar ni Jillian saamin.

Sinamaan ko sya ng tingin. Hay, Jillian!

After eating we decided to take pictures para ipost sa insta. Oh kala mo ha, painsta insta nalang!

"Afo, dito kayo!" I told them habang hawak iyong lobo na may '28'.

We took pics with Afo and Ate Gaile and also with Jill, Ate Aiks and mama.

And Y/N and I even have a photo! With matching kiss sa lips! Omg, naaalala ko parin yung pangaasar nila Jill.

At ayaw ko man o sa gusto, Adrius and I took a picture. A picture of us two while he's kissing my cheek.

After the picture taking, they gave me their individual gifts. And I started opening them one by one.

I opened the first gift which happened to be Ate Aika's gift. It was a pair of air force 1 shoes.

"Oh diba! Matchy Matchy na kayo ni Y/N!" Pagmamayabang nya sa regalo nya.

"Open mine next!" Jillian said, handing me her gift.

I opened it and saw a box of gold bracelet that has my initials on it, 'JPGR'.

"Thank you!" I told all of them after opening their gifts.

"Ikaw, love? Where's your gift?" I looked at Y/N.

"Required ba may gift?" He asked, I pouted. He doesn't have a gift for me? "Joke lang, I'll give it to you later."

I smiled, akala ko wala syang gift eh!

"I have a gift." Adrius smiled, handing me a small paper bag.

I opened it and was shocked when I saw a small box inside. At first glance alam ko na agad ang laman nito. It was a ring, not just an ordinary ring. It looks like an engagement ring, with a big stone in the middle.

"Uhm, Adrius? This is a birthday not engagement party or something." Ate Aika told Adrius.

"Thanks." Tipid kong sabi at itinabi na yong sing sing sa box nito. I'm not going to wear this.

"Aren't you going to wear it atleast?" Puna ni Adrius habang itinatabi ko yung sing sing.

I slightly shook my head before changing the topic. "Ate Gaile, uwi na kayo?"

"Oo, antok narin kasi sila Natalia." she replied.

"Tita, pwede po bang ako na po maghatid kay Tricia?"

I was shocked when Y/N and Adrius both said it at the same time.

"May pupuntahan lang po kami." Y/N continued.

Tumango lang si mama, busy with her phone. But she looked at us, "Wag nyo pag-agawan ang anak ko."

"Tricia, sama ka sakin?" Agad na harap ni Adrius saakin, convincing me to go with him.

Y/N just stood there and looked at me, not saying anything. I walked towards him and held his hand.

"Where are we going, love?" I asked Y/N.

"Secret." He smiled. "Ate Aika, Jilly, Pahiram muna ng kapatid nyo!" Sigaw nya bago ako hinila palabas.

Buti nalang ay bitbit ko na ang bag ko, nangwawarshock kasi!

We entered the car and he started driving. I don't have any idea where are we headed to. But after 1-2 hours in the road we stopped at a coffee shop.

He opened the car door for me and held my hand as we entered the coffee shop.

"Sir Y/N! Magandang gabi po!" Bati ng isang babae na mukang nasa early 30s palang.

"Hello, Kit." Bati ni Y/N. Kilala nya rin ah.

"Sit there, mahal." Turo ni Y/N sa isang table na nasa glass wall malapit.

Sumunod naman ako at umupo roon, and I was shocked. It was a overlooking view, it looks so good looking down and seeing the city lights.

Iginiya ko ang aking mata para tignan ang kabuuan ng coffee shop. It looks well designed with the wood like finish. The furniture also matches with the certain vibe this coffee shop offers. Marami ring decorations and mini figurins na nakadisplay, may mga pictures rin ng mga couple na dito nagkakape.

Maya maya lang ay lumapit si Kit saakin para ibigay saakin iyong menu. I was confused when Y/N dissapeared when he made me sit here.

"Ay hala! Doc Tricia Robredo ikaw po ba yan?" Gulat nyang pansin nang humarap ako sakanya.

I slightly nodded while smiling.

"Hala, Kakampink po ako! Ako rin po ang admin ng Simps For Aika!" Tuloy tuloy nyang sabi, i laughed. "Papicture po!"

Tumango lang ako at inilabas na nya ang phone nya. I smiled and she took a selfie of us both.

"Kit Elyse Gonzalez po!" She held out her hand.

I shook her hands as a nice to meet you, "Janine Patricia," Pagpapakilala ko kahit na alam kong kilala na nya ako.

Umorder na ko ng kung anong gusto ko at nagpaalam narin si Kit. I took a minute to look at the view beside me, it must have been so calm and relaxing living with this view noh? Malayo sa syudad, malayo sa problema, just pure calmness and peace.

"Here is your order ma'am," Y/N told me while placing the trays of food. Y/N is now wearing an apron with a hairnet.

"Go on, take pictures for pattyplatito." He gave me permission which made me laugh, alam na talaga nya that food is life saakin and for my food blog on ig.

I took pictures of the food before eating, I was suprised of the taste. This is better than any coffee shop I tried out there! It taste like heaven.

"Hala ang sarap!" I said like a kid while cherishing the food and drink.

Y/N just laughed at me. "Dalian mo, love. May pupuntahan pa tayo."

Ayaw ko man bilisan kailangan eh. After eating I took pictures of the view and the coffee shop to post on my ig. Y/N and I took polaroid pics at inilagay nya iyon sa mini bulletin board na may pictures ng couples, but he placed it sa isang space na may pa heart shape. Right in the middle, like it was the center of attention.

We came back sa kotse nya and he drove somewhere not that far, this time it was a art gallery. We entered the gallery and it was super spacious yet there's lots of artworks displayed. Kami lang ang tao roon parang kanina rin sa coffee shop.

"Tara, ikutin natin." Yaya ni Y/N with full smiles.

Kung ikukumpara ito sa grocery, may parang mga aisle din dito na iba iba ang topic ng paintings. O parang albums.

The first aisle was named "Children" and may laman itong 7 paintings, I carefully looked at them one by one.

It looks like the kids sa foster home na pinuntahan namin nung nakaraan, I saw some familiar faces sa painting. And the last painting there was like a photo of Y/N and the little girl, they were all smiles.

The next aisle was named "Nature". It was full of painting of the forest and its beauty. May mga lake and animals don sa ibang paintings. It also consists of 7 paintings.

Marami pang ibang paintings na mentioned, lahat ay 7 paintings ang laman.

But the last and most recent one had me thinking. It was named "My beloved, JPGR."

It was full of paintings of me. May mga stolen and and may paintings rin na nakangiti ako. And the last painting was me in the foster home while we were painting and I was smiling.

"Who's the owner of this art gallery?" I asked Y/N.

He just shrugged playfully. My brows furrowed.

Hinila nya ako palabas at sumakay muli kami sa kotse. Hindi ba sya napapagod at palipat lipat kami ng lugar?

"This is the last, promise." He chuckled like he heard my thoughts.

We drove for 15 more minutes until we reached a park kung saan napakaraming puno.

He opened the door for me to exit the car once again.

We walked on the path while talking about things we love to do. Late night walk ganon.

"I kinda wish you can play piano or something, para magpeplay tayo." I told him.

"Hmm, oh almost forgot." He told me while reaching for his pocket. It was a mini box. "My gift."

I was all smiles while opening it. I saw a gold bracelet with an infinity design. Dalawa iyon, I think it's matchy matchy.

"Tag isa tayo!" He told me while getting the bracelet and carefully putting it on my wrist. At kinuha nya rin iyong isa para suotin.

"Do you like it?" He asked me, looking excited.

"I love it, thank you, mahal." I thanked him, appreciating his effort.

We then walked more and talked about random things.

"Hey, can you send me the location of the coffee shop kanina?" I told him tumango naman sya at tinext saakin yung exact place.

"Uwi na tayo, mahal." Yaya nya saakin.

Tumango naman ako, we walked back to the car.

We entered the car and I looked at the window, medyo inaantok na.

But biglang nawala ang antok ko ng magpatugtog si Y/N.

"Salt air...

And rust on your door.

I never needed anything more.

Whispers of "Are you sure?"

Never have I ever before."

I almost squealed at the thought of Y/N being a swiftie.

"Yes, I am a swiftie." He answered ny thoughts.

Then we dueted singing our hearts out to Taylor Swift.

"Thank you for this day, love." I thanked him while we're stuck in traffic.

He just smiled at me.

I hope this would never end...

But nothing is permanent.
