What happened kanina sa sasakyan leads to me, answering him. Yes, sinasagot ko na si Juan. Yes, kami na. We're officially together. Boyfriend ko siya, girlfriend niya 'ko.
I know, I really can't believe it. Akala ko aabot pa ng buwan iyong pagsagot ko sa kanya pero hindi na. We just admitted that we love each other so I think hindi ko na rin papatagalin ang pagligaw niya sa akin. Tsaka sino bang may sabi na papatagalin ko? Kaya I think eto na rin yung right time.
On the 21st of December, we became official.
"Really? Like you're my girlfriend now? Like for real?" Ani ni Juan na kanina pa niyang paulit-ulit na tinatanong sa'kin every time we stopped when the traffic light hits red.
I rolled my eyes at him.
Lumapit ako sa kanya and grabbed his jaw, kissing him on the lips. Nagulat naman si Juan nang ginawa ko iyon bago nagbitaw ng malaking ngisi as I kissed him.
"Oo nga. Tayo na. You think I would just kiss you if hindi tayo?" sabi ko sa kanya as I pulled away from him.
Ngumisi siya. "Sorry. I just really can't believe that you're officially mine now." he breathes out smiling so wickedly at napaisip ako, dapat ako yung nagsasabi niyan. Na, hindi ako nakapaniwala na matatawag ko na siyang boyfriend. My first boyfriend, who happens to be a Juan Gomez de Liaño.
Nang makarating na kami sa lugar ng España, and since bawal makapasok yung mga sasakyan sa UST, pinark ni Juan yung sasakyan niya sa isang condo residential podium parking lot na malapit lang sa UST. Of course, with the help of Juan's friend, kasi exclusive lang yung parking area nila sa mga nakatira doon.
I found out na ang pangalan pala ng kaibigan ni Juan ay si Renzo Subido, who's also basketball player like him. Siya at yung girlfriend niya yung magpapasok din sa'min ni Juan so we could get in. If you're an outsider kasi, kailangan may kakilala ka who studies in UST. It could be your family member, friend or relative. There's also one Thomasian, one guest policy din sila.
Nasa labas na kami ngayon ng compound ng school nila, while we're walking our way towards the UST entrance. You could hear already the loud music blaring inside their campus at matatanaw mo na rin dito yung mga lights at decoration ng UST na nakaka-agaw tingin. Their Paskuhan this year is inspired by Disney movies. 'Yon ang sabi nila.
Pumila na kami just like what other people doing sa entrance kasi there's going to be a check before you could get in. I only brought a sling bag para paglagyan ng cellphone, wallet, and other necessities. After we have went through their security scanners, nakapasok na kami sa kampo ng mga Tigers.
"Wow." The first word came out from my mouth nang sumalubong sa'min and napakagandang paaralan nila. Everything were decorated beautifully. Each building they have, may christmas lights at maging ang mga puno rin nila.
Might add, there were also christmas floating lanterns that make their school look even more majestic! Feeling mo parang nasa movies ka. Their floating lanterns reminded me of the Tangled movie.
Renzo and his girlfriend bid their byes to us para ma-enjoy daw namin yung time and we could roam around by ourselves. Nagpasalamat naman kami sa kanya at umalis na sila.
"Do you want to grab some food first before we roam around?" Juan asked looking at me and I nodded my head at him in response.
"Sige, tara."
Juan grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine before we started walking para makapaghanap ng stalls or kaya booths na nagbebenta ng pagkain. And while we're looking for food, I can notice and catch people looking at us, more likely to Juan. Well, what's new. The person I'm with right now is very popular.
