Chapter 38

Just like what we planned, sabay nga kaming nag-apply ni Gabe sa Central Trinidad State University. He chose Computer Engineering and I got Nursing.

"Let's study hard and chase our dreams together, ah." He said and gently tapped my head.

"Magiging nurse ka." He pointed at me with his pinkie finger. "Oo naman, future engineer." Sagot ko sa kaniya.

And we pinkie finger promise.

Next month na ang entrance exam para sa CTSU and I'm kinda nervous but he said that we will review together.

Gabe and I back again just like the old times, he updates me every day, magka-call kami every night, he always tells me a story kapag hindi ako makatulog.

Pakiramdam ko ay matagal na panahon ko nang gustong maranasan ulit ang lahat ng ito mula sa kaniya, ngayong unti-unti na kaming bumabalik sa dati ay labis ang saya na nararamdaman ng puso ko.

His birthday is getting near, at pinag-aaralan ko gumawa ng bracelet. I wanted to give this to him.

Minsan kapag hindi ako ga'nong busy ay dinadalaw ko ang puntod ni Lola, minsan sumasama si Gabe kapag hindi niya inaalagaan ang mama niya.

"Inaalagaan ko po ng mabuti ang apo niyo, La." Gabe said to my lola's grave.

I can't help myself but to smile seeing him talk to my lola's grave.

Jill and Ria applied to Central Trinidad State University too, Medical Technologist ang kinuha ni jill at Electrical Engineering naman si ria.

"I miss Lucas.." Untal ko sa telepono dahil kausap ko sa kabilang linya si gabe.

"Wait, I'll call him." He said at tumango lang ako.

Hindi naman matagal ang lalaki ay bumalik din agad kasama ang batang makulit.

"Look, Kuya Navin misses you po." He said softly to Lucas.

"Hi Lucas! I miss you so much!" I said.

"Hi po Kwuya Navin, I wiss you too, pwo." He's so cute.

Gabe and I always spend our free time like that kahit na sa kabilang street lang ang bahay nila.

"Date tayo sa birthday ko." Aniya.

I smiled in the thought of it, makakasama ko na ulit ang lalaki, miss na miss ko na siya.

"Sure." Sagot ko.

"Wait for me sa plaza, three pm, wala ako sa bahay hindi kita masusundo, Baby. Kasi mayroon po kaming family lunch sa city, sorry po." Paliwanag niya.

"Oki po." I said.

And when his birthday came, hinintay ko talaga ang alas-dose para batiin siya.

Baby:
happy birthday, boss!!❤️🥳

Baby:
tanda mo na, pwede ng
makulong HAHAHAHAHA.

After I sent that, I continued my sleep.

When I woke up, I was super excited to see him and give the bracelet specially made by me. The bracelet is blue because it is his favorite color.

Isang buong gabi ko ito ginawa at wala ako halos tulog.

I checked my phone but I didn't receive any replies from him. Baka tulog pa. I just ignored it.

Noong malapit na mag alas-tres ay nag-ayos na ako para sa date namin ni gabe.
