finally! I'm finished. Sorry if it's too long. [u][i][b]Chapter 23[/b][/i][/u] "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.
