Sleeping Prince

I met Jaypee in college in since we played in a marching band in school. Since im the daughter of a band director so that’s how we practically met. Our love story is enveloped by music and ofcourse, love. I played the clarinet and he played trombone. It was even what we call in tagalog “suntok sa bwan”.

One of the things which I really remember was when we were together. It was December and we had our Christmas Party. I don’t know what struck  him… but he approached me while I was in a duyan under our mango tree. He had a couple of beers already but he wasn’t drunk. We started to talk about everything… I felt like the people around me cease to exist and it our moment… our first moment.

We talked till wee hours of morning..Then we remembered it is was the first day of Simbang Gabi. We walked  and talked together until we reached the chapel together with friends…but I’m so glad they left us alone..

finally..he noticed me! He is talking to me…although he had some beers..

i don’t care..he’s with me right here.. right now..

We seated away from our other friends. I was thanking my lucky stars. How beautiful the world is..

how time stops.. .

it is as if I can feel like im in heaven.

Then the mass started… during the homily, I was surprised that some of his weight went on to me… I realized that he fell asleep in my arm… I wasn’t sure on what to do.. I thought he was joking!

  I tried to nudge him, then shake him a little bit but he was so peacefully asleep. Then all of the people started to rise. I called his name, shook him again and there he was awake, disoriented on where he is. I told him...

”Are you okay? Let’s stand..” and we stood there.

We smiled and try to act as if nothing happened.

After the mass, we started walking back to the house…our friends started to tease us and we were laughing as we recall that incident. He even told me that he’s glad he didn’t shouted at me since I woke hi up ‘coz he totally forgot that he fell asleep in the chapel.

Now everytime we pass by that chapel, every December, every Simbang Gabi, we will always remember our first moment…together. ;)
