A Journey To Love (COMPLETED)

THIRTY

Michaella Francisco

It's the third day before the examination. And the first day for us to walk as officially lovers. Felix came to my house, handing me a sunflower. It was 7:10 and he was already handsome unlike before. "Sunflower for the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." He said, handing me the sunflower.

I smiled, accepting the sunflower. "Tuloy ka." I said while opening the door wide. Hindi pa ako natapos and I was currently packing the things I need. Mabuti na lang at nakapag study ako which is good kase second to the last day nato para sa long quizzes and reviews bago mage-exam. Last exam for today's semester. Pagkatapos nito, magcocollege na kami.

"Wait for a bit, malapit na akong matapos." I said while putting the sunflower at the vase. Tatlong sunflower na nasa vase at lahat ng ito ay hindi nalalanta. I placed them in a place where the sun directly hits them then constantly changing the waters kaya they looks fresher than before.

Pagkatapos kong malagay ay binalikan ko ang aking bag at agad na pinasok ang dapat pang ipasok. Felix was just sitting comfortably at my place, scrolling to his phone. "Butterfly." Tawag niya sa akin. Alam kong tinatawag niya talaga ako dahil call sign niya iyan sa akin.

Michaella niyo pumapagibig.

"Yes?" I asked him while not looking at him. Masyado pa akong busy para pagtapunan siya ng pansin. "I think hindi kita masusundo mamaya. Remember noong nadepress ako kase may tournament pero nanalo din kami? Pagkatapos noon may ligang mangyayari? USTP vs. XU? Kaya magtotodo talaga kaming magpapractice mamaya." He said, hearing the sad voice I look at him and smiled.

"Don't worry, manonood ako ng practice mo. I read a site where you should support your boyfriend at all times. Pasensya na at baguhan pa lang ako dito." I said while my face turned to him but my body was facing my back.

Pagkatapos kong masabi iyon ay tinignan ko ulit ang aking bag at chineck ito. Okay kompleto na. But then Felix suddenly hug me in the back, it was not tightly but I can feel his chest on my back.

"Thank you for doing that." Sabi niya sa akin at niyakap ako. I just patted his shoulder while looking away, cheeks tinted with red dye. "Let's go. Malelate na tayo, I can't afford being late in a class na magbibigay ng long quizzes." I said that made him nod.

Kinuha niya ang bag ko at siya ang nagsuot noon sabay hawak sa aking kamay at naglakad palabas. Only I stop him when I locked the door, baka may pumasok at kunin pa ang mga gamit ko. That'll be a lot of pain.

Fast forward and both of us ended up entering the building, hands tied with each other. I know that everyone who saw us definitely concluded that it was official. I mean Felix and I were walking, holding hands while we both wore our backpacks.

He was going to carry my backpack, buti na lang at nagpatalo nang inaway ko. Masyado na niyang prinipresure sarili niya. "Did you prepare na para sa long quiz today?" I asked him while not minding my surrounding.

"Hm? Yeah I did. In fact I studied because I have the motivation to keep myself up." He replied while I shook my head. Okay, motivation is keeping him active. That's good, very good indeed.

"Butterfly, tell me if the practice is boring. Sasabihin ko kay coach na ihahatid muna kita pauwi." He said but I shake my head again. Why is he obsessed to the fact na mabobored ako sa practice nila mamaya? It's my first time to support him as his official lover kaya dapat ako nandoon.

"I told you, don't worry. Magbabasa lang naman din ako doon. Or maglalaptop then play games. Don't worry, focus on winning." I said to him while calming him. He was tensed, siguro the tournament was sending him tension.

"Okay, just tell me na lang." He said. I nodded, giving up. Wala na tayong magagawa diyan. We entered the classroom, hands still tied to one another. Everyone was surprised and Godwin was even surprised.
