Because you love me.

Chapter 14

There's only two types of  relationship in the world; the one who ended up happy, and the one who ended up in a tragic way.

But I only want is to have a happy middle, since that's the only thing we can make sure. Happy ending is just for a fairytale.

“I have a jokes!” Giljean said while chewing her food. We bought somai  near here in Luneta Park.

The idyllic sceneries here was really relaxing. It's already 7:30 in the evening when me and Gilj decided to wander around.

“What country is a delicious? ” she asked.

I look at her, “PILIppines?” I answered trying to emphasized the word PILI. Pili is one of my favorite kind of fruit and it's really unique.

“Hmm...there's more delicious than that.” She said while smiling.

I don't know what's running on her mind now.

“Then what?” I curiously asked.

“No other than but, TURKEY!” She vigorously said.

I almost choke this somai that I am eating when I remember our scene awhile ago.

We had a quick fight because Giljean's really want to buy two turkey lechon. Like as if she can eat all of those. I also found out that, that's one of her favorite food.

“You really like turkey, huh.” I teasingly said.

“What's wrong with that? It's also taste like a chicken. Actually turkeys is tasteful than chickens.” She's now pouting.

I don't know what's wrong with the stomach of this girl, she's almost eating every 30 minutes.

“Okay, okay...they are really delicious, satisfied? ” I said, totally defeated again.

“I have still 3 jokes!” She vigorously said again.

“What are those? ” I asked because I have no choice, joke.

“Joke! Joke! Joke!” She vigorously said while counting 1.2.3 on her fingers.

I looked at her without emotion. I guess it's my 100th times to heard that corny joke.

“Why didn't you laugh?” she asked while frowning.

“Ah...because it's not funny?” I said.

“You're so mean!” she mouthed.

“Sorry, but I am still not ready for that. Sorry, but it's a no.”

Giljean and I both looked in our left side when we heard those.

We saw a man who's now kneeling on the grass while his hand are both holding the box of ring.

“S-sorry...” I heard the girl said then she walked out.

“Ouch! That was so painful scene I've ever saw.” I heard Giljean said.

“What's wrong with that girl? Why she didn't accept her boyfriend's proposal? The guy look really love her...I really feel pity for him. He deserve a happy ending.” Giljean commented again.

“Don't feel pity for the guy...” Me and Giljean are now looking on the guy in our right side. I think he's already in 60's. “Feel lucky for him instead.” The old guy added while his eyes are still staring on the guy who's now is crying.

“Why would we?” Giljean asked the same question in my head.

“Because she will not going to marry the girl who's still not ready yet to be his wife. He's lucky because the girl was honest. Marrying a person is not like a rice that you will vomit if you don't want it anymore.”

“Huh?” Giljean reacted.

“Receiving rejection is better than receiving a false hope. If that man's proposal accepted of that girl awhile ago, even the girl knows she's still not sure to marry that man, surely they will just ended up broken after several years. Because the girl is just forcing herself to be ready as his wife and most of people who married in a wrong time, always ended up having an affairs or filing a divorce.” The man explained.

“But the girl also look like he loves that man!” Giljean protesting and then she pointed the guy who was about to propose awhile.

Now the old man looked at her.

“Because sometimes love isn't enough to handle that biggest decision in life. Like what I said awhile ago, that marrying is not like a rice that you will vomit when you don't want it anymore.

Marriage is a sacred. And when you did that kind of decision in life, you need to expect a lot of tons of problems. And love is not enough to handle those. Because it is all about building your own family that you will going go be with for the rest of your life.” the man said and then he left.

“That's too scared.” Giljean said, still thinking the man said awhile ago.“ Promise me that you will marry me if you are ready yet, huh.” Giljean added.

“Stop thinking about that for now, we will be in that stage too, don't worry. For now, let us the God will be done, okay?” I said and then I hold her hand.

She nodded.

“Promise me that if we had a problems, we will talk about that okay? And if we had a fight, promise me that we will going to fix that before the day end, okay?” She said.

I really like kind of that mindset.

I was a bit shocked when Giljean hugged me.

“Thank you.” She said.

“Thank your for what?” I curiously asked.

“Can I tell it through the song?”

I gave her a nod.

“For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream that you made come true
For all the love I found in you,
I'll be forever thankful, baby
You're the one who held me up,
Never let me fall.
You're the one who saw me through, through it all.

You were my strength when I was weak,
You were my voice when I couldn't speak,
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me,
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach,
You gave me faith 'cause you believed

I am everything I am,
Because you love me.”
