I stared at the writings for a minute and chuckled. [i]The penmanship sucks[/i], I thought. Napaisip ako ng konti. Naisip ko kaya siguro pangit yung penmanship kasi, galit siya, at diniinan niya. funny . I realized he can feel it too. I mean, jealousy. After mapeh-dismissal-I saw Melvin standing outside the door. As usual, he's waiting for me. And he's waiting for an explanation or somewhat like that. When I took a few steps forward, I realized his eyes were narrowed. "ditching, eh?" I teased. I'm trying to distract him from asking me about the hold-thing awhile ago. "mm. can I ask you something?" "sure, why not." I felt my heart jumped. "with lance," he took a deep breath, and exhaled, "are you... you know, really that close??" "yeah. why? jealous? " i answered quickly. I can't hide my teasing-smile now. XD I waited for an answer.. Staring at him with my big-circled eyes. "oh, it's getting late, let's go.. You know your mother." he suddenly pulled me and he started the engine. The silence killed me. I sighed and pouted. I opened the so-called cabinets of his car. I found a lot of papers, and started reading.. I saw his test papers, with excellent grades, perfect. I saw his previous cards, his baby pictures that made me laugh-he just rolled his eyes, "whatever tyna"- and I took one of them. I placed it inside my pocket for a remembrance. The papers began to scatter and I was panicking, knowing that he'll be upset. But something caught my attention. I saw a medical certificate? I think.. "wow, you want to be a nurse??" i asked. I stared at him, he was confused. "huh?" he rolled his eyes and stared at the paper i am holding. "give me that." he grabbed the paper. but I stopped him. "wait, wait, wait!!" i laughed. "what's with this anyway? " I looked at the paper for a second and stared back at him. "tyna, get off.." now he's serious. I saw my house at the right side. "oh fine. " I rolled my eyes and went outside. I waved goodbye, I guess he didn't see that. I went inside, hearing the same question in my mind. [i]What's that stupid med paper anyway?[/i] I got inside. Shaking my head really hard, looking at the blank windows, looking deeper, more over, looking for an answer to my one and only question. It's really bothering me. Why?? I closed my eyes and tried to think.. think tyna. think. and there, I fell asleep. [i][u]Three Days Before Graduation[/u][/i] "I'll just pick you up later, 'kay?" Melvin said. I went downstairs to tell mom that i'll go out with Melvin. I was surprised to see her leaning on the stairs. "what are you doing ma?" I asked, confused. "oh well. Not too late okay??" I saw that. she rolled her eyes. she waved and went to her room. [i]What's that?[/i] I thought. I think she was listening awhile ago. haha. cool. I went upstairs. I decided to wear jeans and shirt with a black sweater. I hate dressing up since that incident came. The one with the Marvin-and-Melvin-scandal in front of my house. I heard the door open, and what a surprise, he was there. I looked at him, open-mouthed. I stared at him for a long time. Looking at him from head.. to toe.. "w-o-w " I emphasized every letter of the word. “what?” he raised one eyebrow. “nothing” I smiled briefly and grabbed his hand. "you look.." he coughed, "happy.." "bakit naman? dapat ba...??" I tapped his shoulder. "hinde.. I mean, mmh, that's good." he smiled at me and kissed my forehead. The engine roared to life. Hindi ko alam kung saan talaga ako dadalhin ng lalakeng to. I kept asking, but he kept on ignoring me. I know there was something wrong. I looked at his face, then his eyes. His eyebrows were narrowed as if there was something behind it. It kept me bothered. "hmmm.." I said while playing at my fingers. ".." wow. he ignored me. I decided to shut my mouth instead of babbling and babbling with no one listening. The place was too familiar. Of course it is. The place where he first held my hand, and said that he love me [i]as a friend.[/i] I chuckled briefly and realized that I was already crying.. "oh men.. " I snorted, tapping his chest. "what??" He rolled his eyes, wiping my tears with his handkerchief. "tactics mo. kala mo ah. " I laughed and placed my head in his chest, hearing his heartbeat. I sighed. There was something wrong in his heartbeat. Fast. Very fast. He exhaled slowly and finally said my favorite words, "I love you.." I placed my arms around his waist, I held it so tight. "I think you already know how I felt about you.." I smiled. "say it.. please?? and-" I heard him chuckle.. But I cut if off.. ".. and how things go wrong whenever you're not around.." "please??" he whispered. oh whatever. : I released myself and looked up to see his expression. "ok. i love you. happy?" ouch! he pinched my cheeks. "I'll be with you forever, maski na mamatay ako." he said and kissed my forehead again. I stared at him blankly, and slapped him. di naman malakas. "I'll be the happiest man on earth. know that? " "huh? why? aren't you happy??.. now??" he touched my lips. "hmm, not really. i'm not contented. " his face turned blank after laughing. I frowned. "promise me you'll be Kirsten Rhae Costudia-" "I am and-" "i'm not yet finish. Costudia-Allivares." I smiled at him. "I promise. " "really?? even though..?? lam mo na yun. Yung mga epal sa mundo.." "yun? well, my world revolves around you. ano pa?" I was challenging him. but it was different, I thought he will smile. he looked very far. he looked everywhere. his eyes didn't stopped from moving. "please be ready for this tyna.." he said sadly and then smiled. "what??" he sighed. he looked at me. His eyes were in deep pain. I don't know the reason. I'm totally confused. "basta, promise me that you'll be ready. that you will not do anything that will put you in danger.. well, I know you won't.. " "HUH?! when?? what?? are you kidding? look, it's not funny melvin. cut it out, please, i'm begging." "[b]I'm not. I'm serious. I just don't know when. All i know is, well, it's near. Nearer than I really expected.[/b]" he smiled at me and he started walking. He left me there, confused and puzzled. I think alam ko na kung ano tinutukoy niya. Pero I'm not sure. No. Mali ako. Hindi yun. Hinding hindi mangyayari sakanya yun. Diba? Diba?! Diba Lord?! "tyna, let's go.." he smiled at me and reached for my hand. I stood up. "don't you worry, dear. everything is all right.." he whispered. I felt his warm breath again and I wish.. I just wish.. *sigh* His breath made me cry harder. He wiped my tears and kissed my forehead again. "w-what's the p-probl-lem anyway?" I sniffed. He smiled again. This was different. His agonized eyes touched my heart. Somehow or someway, I felt his pain, or should I say, [i]my pain[/i]. "There's no such thing as problems when you're in love kirsten. " "problems do exist, stupid." I moaned while punching his shoulder. "please don't cry." he frowned. "what do you want?? being happy? damn it!" "If you just know how many knives are being stabbed in my heart whenever I see tears coming from your eyes.." we started walking, "..so please, stop." I stopped. If that makes him happy, I'll do it. [u][i]Graduation[/i][/u] "Congratulations nhie.. " I whispered after meeting his warm embrace. "congratulations, too." he placed his hands on my face. "you're extremely gorgeous. " "thanks, you too. " So this is it. We're moving again. College life? That would be fun, of course, If Melvin's with me. About the thing three days ago, yeah I admit, I'm quite disappointed, but I didn't pay much attention on that. As long as he's here, I'm happy. I don't really care if we have these damn problems that should be solved in the near future. I'll spend most of my time with him. I promised that to myself. "psst, here.." we both sat down and breathed the cold air that passes through us. "pitsuran mo nga ako." I gave her my cellphone and he stood. I saw him rolling his eyes. "one, two, three.. cheese!" click! there. he sat beside me. "o, tayo naman melbs. " "sure sure, kaw nalang." "darn, ang KJ mo. kaasar." I pouted and bumped my back against the chair. He stared at me.. for a long time.. "what?! " "sorry." he grinned. and there. "mag-smile ka no melvin? or else.." he rolled his eyes again. and grabbed my cellphone. "o ayan! one, two *click*" The picture was cute. Me kissing Melvin's cheek. And Melvin winking. We went to a shop and had the picture developed. We both have copies. I placed mine inside my wallet. Pinuntahan namin lahat-lahat. We went shopping, [i]though we both know that we both hate department stores[/i], we watched a movie, we ate cakes, and everything! The day was super cool. Though the day was supposed to have fun with parents. Pero kailangan pa asikasuhin ni Mama yung company niya at si papa naman, nasa London, I'm happy naman kahit papaano because I wasted my time with my boyfriend and I got a Congratulations party from Mama when I went home. [i]3rd Year College[/i] We're goin' super strong. I'm holding him as much as I can. I can do that, right? and.. and, I won't lose him anymore. I strongly believe that. I really do. I won't let him- "Do you mind If I walk you in your last class? " Melvin popped out from nowhere and hugged me. "Do I mind?" I said, being sarcastic. He stared above. "hmm, I guess no. " we both laughed and walked. He turned silent. "Who's the new girl?" I opened the topic. "oh that." he held his chin and I nodded. "Irene" he smiled at me. "oh. she's pretty." I murmured. "pretty enough..??" he asked, I nodded, ".. for me??" he grinned again. "dunno. " I said in a low tone. "kidding.." he kissed my cheek. "bye." I entered the class room and waved goodbye. I didn't pay much attention on Sir Rendel. My thoughts were very, very crowded. Filled by his name, by my grade, by my family, and everything! I always thought of him, but, after seconds, it'll shift. I guess I'm just stressed. I played with my hair, toyed my id, and shook my head over and over again. And I fell asleep. "ms. costudia??" It was Rendel's calm voice, he's pinching me. "oh, sir. sorry, aalis na po ako." I carried my bag and immediately went outside of the room. Darn it. Ang dilim dilim na. And, I'm sort of freaked out. I heard a million ghost stories na tungkol dito sa campus na to. Kaya, I'd better get going. I was searching and gasping for air. Finally, I saw a tall guy from the darkness. He turned his head to me and smiled. [i]Breath, Tyna. Breath..[/i] my thoughts said. I was relieved. He was there, and I think he's been waiting for me for two hours. I hope he's not upset. "It's already nine-thirty, nhie." he said while looking at his watched. he placed his arm around my shoulder. "sorry, I fell asleep." "oh, you need sleep." "I don't Let's just spend this night.." I shook my head, embarrassed, "..together.." He held my face and smiled. "sure, If that's what you want." he whispered. He drove me to our house. I asked for Mom to let Melvin stay here, and she said yes. He cradled me, wrapping his arms around me. I placed my head on his shoulder. "you look haggard." he said in a very low tone. "I'm always haggard.." I closed my eyes, "there's so many things that I should always think of.." "like? studies?" he chuckled. "yeah. Like you, dork." I half-smiled at myself. He stood up, so am I. He held my face. "ep-ep-ep. what's that?" I pushed him away from me. "haha. you brat, just kidding. " "nah, idiot. you can do that after next year. " I said teasingly.. "You are so.." I didn't hear the complete sentence. I realized, again, I fell asleep. [i]4th year- [/i] I've finished my three-year college here, and I've finished it with Melvin. I'm going to be a nurse, and he'll be a doctor, soon. And I can now fulfill my dreams, and to stick at my promise- to him. To marry him. For him to be the happiest man on Earth for he already married the most beautiful woman on earth. What a dream. I know there's no such thing as happy ending, but I do believe them, as long as there is love. "kirsten.." I shook my head again, I hate him calling me with my true name. "what.." It wasn't a question, though. I'm quite annoyed.
