"Just when did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me that you're going home today?"I smiled, "It's because.. surprise!"
It just caused her to laugh.
Her classmates approached us. "Hana, is that your older brother?"
I was gonna reply but Hana was quick. "No, he's my husband."
They were obviously caught surprised.
Even 'I' was surprised, guys.
I was surprised that it made me giggle inside and giddy. LOL
Her classmates couldn't believe it until we all went our separate ways and went home.
On the way home, I don't know but this kid kept on smiling.
Too happy, kid? :)

Events went by, and this kid turned out to be so playful.
She kept on talking in Maranao dialect and I find it so difficult to understand.
Obviously, she was teasing me.
She finally learned that I transferred to our hometown's college.
"Why did you transfer?" She asked.
This is my chance to let her know that she is special for me.
"Because I want you to be beside me always.
I want to be able to see you everyday, daily.
I want to be able to hear your voice day by day, your teasings, all of that I miss it whenever I am far away from you."
She was just silent.
I went near her and hugged her.
"Even though I don't always say I love you, I hope you felt it.
And I'm so sorry for everything Zawjati."
(T/N: Zawjatie: My Wife in Arabic)
She was still silent and she did not say anything.
Despite that, I was still so happy.
I was so happy I hugged her.
Finally I said something that made her happy.

We started to eat our meal together from that day.
Before I go to college, I walk her to her school before I go to mine every school days.
Same way too on the way home, I fetch her and we go home together.
We visit our parents and grandfather when we have free time.
I always take her to dates, sometimes if I can't take her out I take her to date at home.
Everyday, I try to let her feel that she's special.
Everyday, I try to let her feel that I love her so much.
Even though we do that, we can't escape the other side of love story.
Small fights and jealousy.
Sometimes she gets jealous but I always try to let her feel that she doesn't need to get jealous.
I try to talk to her and assure her so I'm thankful that she has a big heart, reason why I liked her even more.
Until one day, I thought of avoiding her. Then I started to avoid her. Of course, she noticed.
***
I just got home from my college, it was already evening.
She went after me when I got into my room,
"What's your problem? Say it.
Did I say something wrong?
Did you get jealous from someone?"
She kept on asking one by one.
"Nothing. I have no problem.
Now get out of now I will change clothes." I said while she was facing my back.
"Go on change clothes.. Just please, what's with you suddenly?"
I didn't answer her until she went out of the room.
But okay, I have finally told her why I was avoiding her.
I was scared, you know.
She's still so young.
When she has learned of the reason.
She was just silent.
Now, let's not talk about that part already. Let's observe modesty. >:)
