My professor already told me about this weeks ago, and now. . . I don’t know if I’m going to believe Lara.

“We?” Iyon na lang ang nabanggit ko. Natatawa niya akong pinanlakihan ng  mata.

“Hala siya! May trust issue sa ’kin, oo nga! Tingnan mo sa bulletin board!” I still don’t believe her, natatawa na siya sa reaction ko. I gave her that look until I decided to go out again and look at the list she’s talking about.

Thalia Channel Lastimosa N. — Cumlaude

Pakiramdam ko nakalutang ang mga paa ko nang mabasa ko ang pangalan. Totoo nga!

I want to jump out of happiness, scream and celebrate it as loud as I could pero nahihiya ako sa mga dumadaan at nakikibasa sa list. Instead, I took a photo of it and instantly thought who I’m going to send this too.

Nakangiti akong bumalik sa classroom, inasar pa ’ko ni Lara na may trust issue ako sa kanya. My blockmates congratulated me too. We had a mini celebration of success in our classroom before we finally settle down. Wala na kaming klase pero may attendance pa kaya marami pa rin kami ngayon.

I sat on my chair and checked on my phone. I open my social media account and sent the photo I took to Yijin.

Thalia Lastimosa:

sent a photo

I turned off my phone. What will be his response? I’m sure he’s going to be proud of me. Tumunog ang cellphone ko kaya nagmamadali ko iyong binuksan.

Yijin Lorenzo:

Wow! Congratulations po!

Yijin Lorenzo:

Ang galing! You are so great Chantal! You deserve it, you deserve everything.

Thalia Lastimosa:

Thank you!

Yijin Lorenzo:

I’m so proud of you! It makes me think how did I deserve you? Let’s celebrate your success!

Natawa ako sa sinabi niya. I replied a message.

Thalia Lastimosa:

Come on Yijin! You deserve me so much! And of course, I do deserve you too.


Yijin Lorenzo:

Of course. I love you so much.

I felt like something inside of me exploded. With the exchange of messages, I felt like we’re back to being teenagers again!

Pagkauwi sa bahay ay tinawagan ko rin si papa at sinabi ang tungkol doon. He’s so happy and proud of me, tinanong pa niya ako kung anong gusto kong graduation gift. I told him I’m already happy of what I have, I have everything in my life right now to be happy.

Magpapalit na sana ako ng pajama nang biglang tumawag si Yijin. I picked up the call.

“Hi,” I greeted.

“Good evening po, what are you doing right now?” he asked.

“Hmm, just nothing. I’m just preparing stuffs before going to bed.”

“You’re not tired right now?”

“Hindi naman, wala naman kasing ginagawa na sa school.”

“Then. . . can I have a date with you? I‘m waiting downstairs by the way.” Bigla akong napaahon sa sinabi niya.

“Huh? Y-you’re downstairs?” gulat kong ani.
