My heart almost get out of my thoracic cavity when they almost caught us on that scene. God, I hope they didn't saw us! cause that's a bit embarrassing!

"Putukan na!" Wyatt blowed a horn pa and they clapped their hands.

Simon got up and wiped his tears and act very casual. "Thank you guys..." he said. And asked me. "Y-You can stand? or you cannot?" he asked and he offered his hands on me.

When I stood up, I smiled to them and there's Wyatt who has his nang-aasar face! I rolled my eyes and tried to act casual on the people here. And Simon...hold my hands. inaalalayan ako kasi may sugat ako!

"Happy Birthday" I whispered. I cannot reach his ears cause he's way to tall than me, but he responded with a smile pa din.

It's his birthday, and we're celebrating it together...

There's some handa for Simon na pinadala daw ng Daddy and Mommy niya which is the President and the first Lady. all of it is Simon's fave. Kumain na kami and we finished that night with a toast of Champagne and Whiskey. my two favorite drinks.

"Good Night Venice, shine as you are" Simon said nang ihatid niya ako sa tent.

"G-Good Night" I replied.

When I lay my back at rest, na realize ko lahat lahat. kung gaano ako katanga dahil nahulog ako sa taong walang balak mahalin ako pabalik. well, minahal naman niya ako...dati nga lang.

"How to make you fall in love? it was so damn hard, Simon..." I whispered to myself.

I'm asking myself if should I stop chasing this non sense love or should I go cause...I really want him...I really do. he's so perfect for me, he can be my savior, my knight and my everything. but I'm the total opposite for him.

"Good Night Mr. Perfectly Fine" I said before sleeping.

Kinabukasan, I woke up with a puffy eye and I think I look dugyot. But still I got compliments from the other people here about my look.

"Very Natural ng ganda niya"

"Halatang mayaman"

"Syempre Zobel yan eh"

That boost my confidence a bit but I wanna hear that from Simon. sa kaniya ko lang yun gustong marinig. we went to the spring to relax and nakaka relax naman talaga, ang hot ng water and very calming ng sound.

This is my thing, yung country vibes? I'm not so city girl unlike Simon's crush which is Laine.

But speaking of Simon, he's also here but he's wearing his shade and staring at the sun. The heck is wrong with this guy?

"You said you like sunsets more than sunrise?" I asked him at umupo sa tabi niya.

"I like both, ang ganda ng sun...sobra" he answered while looking at my eyes.

"Careful" he added at inalalayan pa akong makaupo.

"Thanks" I act casual.

"Uuwi na tayo in three days V" usal niya.

"Oo nga pala" I responded then sighed.

"I hope you still continue striving for your dreams" he said.

"O-Of course I will, sana ikaw din...I want to see you as successful as you want to be" I said.

"Y-You too... I'm gonna watch you sa television ha, even though I'm busy I'll try to watch you pa rin" he said

Like he's saying Goodbye to me this early...

"Malapit ka na bang umalis?" I asked. ireready ko na ang self ko.

"Nope, many, many days pa" he replied.

"Kung aalis ka...w-wag ka na magpaalam sa akin" sambit ko.

"W-Why?" he asked.

"Baka pigilan lang kita" sambit ko and there goes my tears again but he hugged me.

"Shush... it's for the better Venice, I wanna see you to be successful and independent as you want to be...magkikita pa naman tayo" aniya.

"When? kailan pa? we'll gonna see each other years and years? Simon I-I can't...ikaw lang gusto makita ng eyes ko, it feels like I'm dying if I didn't see y--"

He pinched my cheeks then chuckled. "Cute, like a Bae-V" he emphasized the last word.

"Don't laugh at me" I wiped my tears.

"I'm not laughing it's just... you're cute" he said pa.

But I didn't respond so he forced myself to look at him. "It's for good Venice, not just for me but also for you..." He added.

"Basta, huwag ka nalang magpaalam kung aalis ka na" usal ko.

"Why? we're good friends naman, we have a lot of memories shared--"

"I said don't make paalam to me Simon. I don't want to cry again. I hope this is the last time that you will see me with this crying face" I told him.

And he pointed the sun. "Look Venice, you're happy... you're the sun, that strikes in every corner, that lights up the world" he said again.

"Why do you trying to calm me with those flowery words huh" sambit ko.

"No I'm not, it's true" tugon niya.

He tried to calm me and as usual, he know me well than everyone else. a minute passed and now we're laughing at each other's goofiness. lumalabas ang ganitong side namin sa isa't isa lang.

We really are comfortable towards each other and yun ang mamimiss ko kung sakaling umalis siya. if it is possible na i-wish ko kay Dad na huwag na umalis si Simon but...hindi yon kaya ng pera namin, ng pera niya.

Hindi ko dapat hadlangan si Simon, I should not be a hindrance for him...

At after mag-lunch ay nagpahinga lang kami here under the tree. nakahiga ako sa chest niya habang natutulog siya. I wish we could stay like this nalang for a lifetime.

"Huwag muna tayong umuwi sa London, dito muna tayo..." I sighed. "Pero kailangan..."

The exam day is coming and I need to take a productive rest pagkauwi namin. I know that when we go home, mag-iiba ang lahat. maiiba ulit, the usual.... we're strangers nanaman. But...with a lot of memories.
