***********************************

gerald: baby i'm here..

gerald called kim as he was waiting on the parking lot for kim that afternoon.. they both agreed to have a dinner together..

kim; baby! i miss you! (kissed gerald on the lips) sorry late ako.. nagmeeting pa kasi kami..

gerald: its okay.. kung ganyan ka naman everytime late ka i don't mind waiting for you.. i miss you too baby..

kim: ikaw talaga..hehe

gerald: so ano? shall we? (offer his hand to her as if asking her to dance)

kim was expecting a fine dining restaurant pero nagulat sya na na familiar ang daan nila..

kim: babe?  i thought we are eating out..

gerald: yes we are.. why?

kim: why are we heading home?

gerald: save your inquiries later babe okay? you trust me right?

kim: yes.. okay..

 

kim and gerald reached their condo and took the elevator..

kim: were eating at your place? you cooked for me baby?

gerald: yes and no..

kim: ha/

gerald: sabi ko na dba save your inquiries later.. babe sorry pero i have to do this..

gerald put a blindfold on kim..

they reached the rooftop of their condo..where gerald prepare a candle light dinner for them..

gerald: okay baby.. one more big step.. there.. stay put okay? wait for me..

kim: your killing with suspense baby.

gerald: wait there okay?

after few minutes and gerald was not yet back kim was becoming impatient..

kim: babe? ge? asan ka na ba?

gerald: ayan na ko baby.. wait lang.. wag ka muna mumulat ha? i'll count to three okay.. 

gerald took off kim's  blind fold..

gerald: (hugged kim from behind) okay 1, 2, 3!! open your eyes baby..

kim blinked a few times before she saw everything gerald prepared for her..there was a round table for two in the middle of an elevated floor... fred roses were scattered on the floor, a sweet music started playing as soon as she opened her eyes.. It was indeed a sweet act of love and she was teary eyed as she faced gerald..

kim: oh baby.. its too much..

gerald: its nothing baby.. i just want to show you how much i love you..

kim: thank you babe.. thank you talaga..

gerald: you like it?

kim: i love it babe..

gerald: wait baby there's more.. 

gerald looked up and kim was puzzled so she followed geralds gaze and saw a piece of canvass floating with lots of pink balloons.. written on the canvass was

 

"Happy First Monthsary Baby! I love you so much! 

                            Gerald..<3"
