It's already two months, but the feeling to have someone who is like me is still new. He never misses giving me letters and roses every day, I told him to stop it, because it is just a waste of money, but he insisted.
We are like the usual couple, holding our hands while walking, eating some street foods in front of our University. Teasing each other. We felt jealous sometimes, but it's not a reason for us to fight. Jranillo and I celebrate our monthsary playing in arcades, going to café restaurants, reading and buying a book sometimes and other going to other places to watch the sunset.
We're always together, sometimes with my friend Chelsea, we talked about our dreams, everything about ourselves, and the things we like about each other.
I gained more confidence, I didn't let my negative thoughts be the hindrance for me to love him. It's already January 13, 2020, labing-tatlong araw simula ng siya ay aking sinagot sa kaniyang panliligaw. I already met his mother, but not yet his father because it's out of the country, bago magpasko ay isinama niya ako sa kanila, kaya naman nakarating na ako sa kanilang bahay, kaya nga lang katulad ng kaniyang ama ay hindi ko nakita ang kaniyang kapatid sa ama dahil sa siyudad ito naga-aral.
He also came in our house, pangalawa na araw ng kaniyang panliligaw noon, pangyayari na hindi ko nga napaghandaan, that's why he met my father, and also my sister while she saw my mother through Skype. Natuwa pa nga ako ng nagsibak pa siya ng kahoy, I didn't even know why he did that, because I think it was just for the old days, but he told me that he just want to impress my father.
I fanned my self, kahit na umiihip naman ng bahagya ang hangin dito sa grandstand ay ini-init pa din ako, hindi ko naman maitali ang aking buhok dahil sa wala akong nadala na ponytail.
"Do you want to go to the conference room in our building?" Nilingon ko siya.
"Why?"
"Ini-init ka kasi, may aircon doon. Hindi naman kita mayayakap baka lalo ka lang mag-init." Napansin ko ang naglalarong ngiti sa labi niya.
"Kaya nga conference room."
"It just for a type of formal meeting, pwede lang tayo doon kapag doon tayo ikla-klase ng Professor natin." Tumawa siya, tumitig sa akin.
"Turn your back at me." I gave him a curious look.
"I'm going to tie your hair."
"Wala akong nadala na pantali." Ngumiti siya, pagkatapos ay ipinakita sa akin ang kaniyang panyo.
"Don't worry, this handkerchief of mine's clean." Tumalikod na ako sa kaniya, I felt the warm wind. Napapikit ako ng maramdaman ang paghagod ng kaniyang daliri sa aking buhok. Hindi ko maiwasan na mapa-ngiti.
I did not changed myself, but I know that I improved, at para sa akin ay magkaiba ang dalawa na ito. Changes for me are because someone influences you to do that, and improvement is a result of accepting your flaws.
"Now, look at me love." Dahan-dahan ay humarap ako sa kaniya, bahagya niyang hinawi ang mga maliit na buhok na humarang sa aking mga mata.
"You really looked gorgeous, inside and outside." Marahan niyang hinaplos ang aking pisngi, pagkatapos ay yinakap ako.
"And you're so clingy." His brows lift up, natawa na lamang ako. He's the reason, why I'm not afraid now to show what I feel, siya ang dahilan kung bakit napagtanto ko na ako lang naman ang walang tiwala sa aking sarili.
Nauna na ako maglakad pabalik sa classroom ng magpaalam siya na pupunta lamang siya ng restroom. Napahinto ako ng salubungin ako ni Eileen. I smile at her, but she keep that poker face.
"What's the feeling, Juliana?" She's being like that again, simula ng manligaw sa akin noon si Jranillo ay naging ganito na ang kaniyang pakikitungo sa akin.
