A Journey To Love (COMPLETED)

THREE

Michaella Francisco

It's been one week since we became friends. Felix and I started talking too much that they often misunderstand us as a couple. Kahit isigaw ko pa sa kalawakan na hindi kami at walang kami, parang mga binging isda sila sa kakabulong na in a low-key relationship kaming dalawa.

Felix and I started talking over the phone, we chat and we called each other too often na umaabot pa talaga kami sa past bedtime ko. Which I always reminding him na itigil na kase magugulo na utak ko.

My phone started to ring habang nagbibihis ako papuntang school. Last class for today's week. Tinignan ko kung sino ang caller at napasmirk ng si Felix ang tumatawag. I answered his call, put it on speaker and continued to dressed up.

"Hello what's up, Mika." He said cheerfully. Halata sa kanyang boses na kakagising niya pa lang. "What do you want?" I replied back while busy sa pagbu-butones ng uniform. "I just want to inform you na it's time to go to school." Sabi niya. I heard him yawn kaya natawa ako ng mahina. Seriously this guy is amusing. Wala atang araw na hindi ako tumatawa kapag kasama siya.

"What are you? A human alarm clock?" I said while chuckling. Pagkatapos kong nabutones ang aking uniform ay umupo ako sa upuang malapit sa salamin at agad sinuklay ang aking buhok. "Yep." He said popping the 'p' as he said yep.

"You're too late. Gising na ako ng five." Sabi ko sa kanya at natawa. Even though we're apart from each other, I can tell that his face held disappointment as he never said anything. It was silent for a minute. "Aagahan ko next time." Sabi niya na ikinatawa ko ng malakas.

"Goodluck with that." I replied at nagapply ng light makeup sa mukha ko. Pulbo ft. Liptint.

"Anyways, do you want me to pick you up?" He asked. Ganito si Felix sa one week na nakalipas. On the third day he decided to ask me if he could pick me up and I said why not naman. I don't have to spend extras because it's free. That's when the rumors about us dating started.

"Yeah sure. It's free, I don't have to spend any amount of money unlike yesterday." I said. "Be here at 7:25. Don't be late." I added.

"Again? Yeah sure. Bye Mika , see you later baby girl." He bid his farewell. I'm sure kumakaripas na yun dahil anong oras na. Iaughed a lite at nag decide na magsuot na ng sapatos. After I polish my shoes, dali-dali kong isinuot ang aking medyas at sinundan ko naman sa pagsuot ng aking sapatos.

Nang natapos akong magbihis ay pumunta ako sa kusina, kinain ang niluto kong pagkain sa agahan habang nanonood ng mga random clips. I enjoyed my day, watching random variety shows, clips and memes habang nanonood at kumakain.

When I was finished, hinugasan ko ito ng mabilisan at
agad ring inayos ang laman ng aking bag. Nang makita kong maayos at sakto lahat ang ipinasok ko sa bag ay isinara ko ito at isinuot sabay tingin sa cellphone ko para malaman ang oras. "7:20 huh." Sabi ko habang napatango-tango.

"Masyado siguro akong maagang nagising." Sabi ko sa sarili ko at lumabas na ng tinutuluyan ko. Inilock ko ang pintuan gamit ang susi na nakasabit sa aking ID at agad na lumisan. Naglakad ako na para bang hindi nagmamadali dahil masyado pa namang maaga at bakit ka naman magmamadali if may free ride naman diba?

Hanggang umabot ako sa gate ng dorm, biglang nag ring ang aking cellphone kaya dinampot ko ito at sinagot ang tawag na galing na naman kay Felix. "Oh?"

"I'm near, nasa entrance na ako papasok sa Dorm mo." Sabi niya sa akin. "Nasa labas naman ako kaya puntahan na lang kita diyan." Sabi ko pabalik sa kanya. "No, hintayin mo ako dyan baka mapagod ka." He said over the phone.

"Sayang ang gas. Madali lang to since malapit lang ang entrance." I said at nagsimula akong maglakad. "You are one h*ll of a frugal living lady." Sabi niya sa akin. I smirked and said, "Well as someone who lives alone while depending on her parents, I am very frugal." Sagot ko sa kanya. "I'll accept that one as a compliment." Dagdag ko pa habang pabirong nainis sa kanya.
