Keyara's POV

After that "coffee date" we had kanina, pumunta kami sa night market sa Venice Grand Canal. Madaming tao kaya I can't help but to look at Elara every single second, alam kong ayaw niya sa masisikip at maiingay na lugar.

"Mag hiwalay kaya tayo? Para makabili tayo ng pagkain nang maayos" I suggested and tumango na lang siya habang naglakad na sa mga food merchants.

Habang naghahanap ng makakain, there I saw Elara holding an ice cream for her dear life. It was like no one was there, siya lang. Nababangga na ko ng mga tao na naglalakad sa harap at likod ko, why am I feeling this way?

I'm seriously straight, I swear.

Nung napansin ako ni Elara, bigla akong tumingin sa ibang direksyon na para bang naghahanap pa din ako ng pwedeng bilhin. I can feel her walking towards me as my heart pounds harder.

"Wala ka pang nabibili? dun sa dulo konti lang pila, pero puro sweets don baka 'di mo magustuhan" Tanong niya sakin habang tinuturo yung dulo ng night market.

"Hm. Sige tas papicture tayo pagtapos" I usually hate sweet foods but why not try it naman diba? Hinatak ako ni Elara sa dulo kung saan niya nabili yung ice cream na pagkalaki laki, i don't really think I could finish a cone of ice cream.

She ordered me a strawberry flavored ice cream to match her vanilla flavored ice cream. Once I received my ice cream, it's just a scoop of a pink cold cream on a cone with some strawberry drizzle on top of it.

"Sabi ko konti lang ilagay, baka hinde mo maubos" Bulong ni Elara sakin, pagkatapos ay inabot niya ang phone niya sa kung sino mang dumaan sa harap niya.

"Ate can you take our picture, real quick? thanks"

Just bye 3 clicks and it's done, we thanked the girl and look for a table para ubusin na yung ice cream. "Do you want me to come with you pag uwi mo or mag separate ways na lang tayo?" Tanong ko, tinignan lang ako ni Elara at tunawa pagkatapos.

"Nakakatawa ka, alam mo ba yon?" I chucked at binilisan kong ubusin ang ice cream kasi natutunaw na ito. "Ano nga?" Natatawa ko pang tinanong ulit.

"Ako na lang mag isa, malayo pa bahay niyo dito baka madaling araw ka pa makauwi pag hinatid mo pa ko sa apartment ko" Tugon niya, pagkatapos ay nagpicture picture na ulit siya.

Elara's POV

As i was taking selfies of myself eating ice cream, I can notice Keyara sneaking peaks of me. "In love ka na ba sa'kin?" I joked and she almost choked the cone.

"Hinde po ako pumapatol sa may jowa" She answered and I just smiled at her. Wala na kong masabing iba, it feels so comfortably awkward.

Hinantay ko na lang siya tapusin yung ice creampara sabay na kaming aalis. And as planned, we separated ways pauwi and just texted to let each other know that we already arrived home.

Laying down on my bed, hinde ko maidescribe kung ano yung mararandaman ko. Today was a mixed emotions of anger and happiness.

But today I think it was one of my happiest day. After Polaris' left this world all I felt was sorrow every single day. I don't know what happened, it's different today.

Habang hinahantay pumatak ang 12 sa orasan, i scrolled through my gallery para tignan yung mga picture na kinuha namin kanina. "Love, this would be look cuter if ikaw yung kasama ko sa picture" bulong ko.

Once my phone rang initiating na 12 na. 6 years from now, sinagot ako ng pinakamagandang babae nakita ko. Happy anniversary my love, bisitahin mo na lang ako sa panaginip ko.
