my girlfriend said the sweetest thing today

its been a while since we last got together even though we had nothing to do these past weeks. our yearly aniticipated semestral break concluded yesterday. today, we finally had the chance to catch up on our day to day struggle with life. we rendezvoused at the swing set behind the CBA building of Silliman University. dusk had set on a peaceful and quiet day. we were the only souls on that area. we did the usual bf gf thing. we talked. we laughed. we looked at each others lined faces. we loved.
we held hands. she said, "koy, nganung init ka?" i ignored her innocent query. i returned the question, " nganung bugnaw ka dad?" a dramatic pause ensued. she answered, " patay man gud ko koy." she continued, " patay kaayo ko nimu." now, that may sound corny to some who do not understand the language of love, but it definitely made me smile sheepishly. what she said was something. it was not meant to be a stupid joke. it was a sincere and cute statement said in a very unintentional way. i squeezed her hand in mine. i closed my eyes and savored that very moment, smiling the whole time. i was happy. happy from a very shallow human act of loving.
