After 46 days doing of programming system and documenting now were doing our survey, we have to give the every piece of survey sheet to different department and different year level. I Headed school today with a hard copy of survey I have to distribute all of these. I have 250 copies.. I divided it into 4 copies for Ken, Mary and Gian. The university has 21,000 thousand college students. We need at least 250 student to fill up our survey. But its hard to reached those students now. Because some are busy taking their exams, some having their clearance, some are on accounting line paying their accounts for summer classes. Again I do always taking a shortcut way for me to reach my department. I'm a kind of girl that always wear just t-shirt and comfortable rubbers shoes, I use to run on the way. There someone looks familiar to me, coming on my way. I used to slow down from running. Because I see. He used to say please stop, as from his gesture. I know I remember him. Then I take a slowdown, I take a little bit of gaze on him. I cant still remember where I met these guy. Or did I meet this guy? " Hey" he said, at last we cross out path again. The voice said.. At last I see you again. See me again? You look familiar I just cant remember when and where. This is Gian. "Gian Patterson"
Remember?! I was the guy who accidentally hit you on your shoulder. "Aaah.. .yeah its you.. My mind comes everything on flashback.. yeah that was you I pointing my finger on him, but 'im not in bad mood to get mad again on him. His looks is too refreshing. I like his simplicity wearing blue shirt, his chest, looks so pretty to touch, his really handsome. I like the how he wear his style. Even its too simple and plain, its more attractive because of his fit body make him too sexy on his looks. Things that playing on my playful minds. His handsomeness looks. I know if a guy is handsome, they show effortless like this man. So why your coming on my way?
Hey...
Don't get mad.. please? he softly says. You already slap me on my head. Now please don't get rude. You look pretty when you didn't get rude . His voice was begging at last I see your angelic face clearly.. because last time we talk , my head was on my shoes, can't look at you
because your so mad. That was so hilarious. By the way I'm always here hoping to see you again, and now.. I see you.. remember I told you, I will do anything just to forgive me?! Remember that Miss? What's your name?. I know I hurt you, and I know isn't easy to forgive me. That's why im always here when break time, to see you.. I'm sorry. What's your name, he smile on me. You never tell me about your name. Because your still mad at me. His smiles kills me, that makes me freeze, what kind spell has this man. I cant even move when he use to smile. I've seen many good looking men, but never feel this things. They are good looking too, but not like this man. He make my world freeze for a moment to gaze on him clearly an nearly. "What's wrong with this guy?! Why he still looking for me? Everyday? I murmured to myself. "Pretty? I said on a dull tune. I'm Zia, I already forgive you. Remember?
But isn't enough.
Not enough?
Yes. I will do anything just to forgive me.. I want that forgiveness will come from your heart, not that way, Because I feel it.. your still mad at me..
I think my mind is still hanging on my imagination world "You really look for me here every day?" you do that for my forgiveness? Why these guy act like this? So silly. Im not that beautiful, for him to look for me here every day, but he does. I'm chilling to the bones when I use to repeated those thoughts on my mind. And my eyes keep on staring at him.. He is nice, i didn't recognized before because I was really mad to observe his looks. some guy wont gonna do this things just to ask my forgiveness.
This guy might be crazy?! he really want my forgiveness when he just can ignore when he wants. Unless he like me? asking myself..
"looking for me here every day"?
You do? I asked him..
Yes.. Miss Zia!
Yes I Do". what's with your hand carry? Is that project reports? No, its.. I give him a friendly smile..
Then? Your smiling!! Wow..
What is that? He asked..
You said your looking for me every day here.. just to forgive you?. right? Yes I do.
Now.. you see my hand carry? Yeah.. I see that, then? He smile on his cute ways as I see his dimple on a left cheek of him. You have to help me giving this survey to those student from freshmen up to graduating student, from different department.
"Sure!! My pleasure to help you!!
I told you I will do anything just to forgive me. His voice sounds happy and excited. I'm welcoming you here in our department. He gave me a winks. Yeah, Let's start, I smile to him. Your graduating student? He asked.Yes, I am, we do walking going to building, the criminology department has its separated building. Me too, he smile. What's that survey for? For our thesis documents reports I said.
Okay, What course you taken?

He call someone as we do walking. I think his classmate."Hey will you do me a favor?Favor? what Is that Mr. President? President? Are you? I asked him. Yes. But not now im about to graduate .My year in service in this department already ended. Only here, but still I will serve our country. He smile.Can you fill up these survey sheets? Can I have your 2 mins dude for this survey. By the way this is Zia,
Ooh.. Hi!! Nice to meet you Zia,sure I will. Gian give the survey sheet to his classmate. I use to explore my eyes in a building, I never been here, I'm almost four years here, Criminology building has peaceful surrounding and green environment.. I imagine that when you're on the fourth floor of the building you'll see those green trees, those beautiful flowers around quadrangle of university. I just realized that where I have been for most four years? Library, LCR2, Canteen, Audio room, MIS room.. that's all I know. Well actually I didn't use to visit some department. That's why I didn't go there for almost four years. I'm just amazed to be here. I love green environments. I found peaceful and refreshing. "Here im done. the voice said. I smile back to him as my Thank you. can we go further there? Of course that's why I'm here Zia, no worries, I'll take care of you. And I will tour you here in my department, he said laughing silly. "Huh? in duh tune Taking care of me? I mean I will help you.. He smile, I see again his lovely dimple.Tell me Gian.. Do you like me? I asked without hesitation I don't care if he see me assuming. I just want to know why he have to say that" he will take care of me" and me as girl little things man says means to me, so I asked him. He pause for a moment and He bring me to the corner of the building. i have to tell you this Zia, yes i like you. the first time i saw when your a freshmen student, i like you very much. That time you were wearing P.E uniform your about to play a volleyball , you had a long legs that a attract me so much. i like it. But I don't have a chance to talk to you. Because, my class schedule didn't meet yours, I'm always a night shift of my subjects. i had a friend who always look at you. Im sorry. I do that because I wanna know how you doing.. on how's your day goes through. I know your name already, Because your best friend ken, Is a close friend of me. I tell him not to tell about myself. I know that your kind as what ken said to me. and i wanted to know more about you. The Day I got hit you wasn't really accident. that was intentionally. Because were about to graduate but i never been talking to you. I hit it hard so that the ball will reach you at least, but then Im sorry it hurts you. And why you asked me still? when you know about me?. i snort.. well, this is my first time to talk to you that's why i asked. I cant get pissed off when I see his dimple. Really distraction. I easily fall with it. You spying me through Ken.. I said giggly. Yes, I'm sorry. I tell you already why. Because I like you. "what? Though I already hear it clearly I want to be sure. He come closer to me, He whisper to my ears. I wanted to be your boyfriend when you allow me? To be your suitor? Because Ken says, having a boyfriend isn't in your list. But still I'm hoping for a chance then,I cant speak anything from what I heard from him. He like me and he wanted to be my boyfriend. I love those what he says. I felt like I'm on the top of clouds. I felt that I got the first prize from lottery game, I wanna say "YES" this time, but I cant. Can't even say anything. This guy makes me really Freeze. I'm not that hypocritical, He like me, then who am I to make contrary when I know I like him too. "Okay lets go. He said to me, Because he didn't hear anything from me. Its okay, if you didn't answer me. maybe next time? He said.Le-Lets go. my voice cracking feel so nervous from what I heard. I was to happy to heard that. But why I can't speak at least. My rudeness didn't work this time. And I hate that way, when I heard my voice cracking.I have 25 survey now. From freshmen and graduating student of criminology students with the help of Gian. Were about to go on other department.
"Zia, Are you hungry? Want to eat some? Ill buy food for you. What do you want to eat?. He asked.
"No, thank you, but I'm not yet hungry, and we didn't even starting yet..Are you? If your hungry you can buy. Ill wait you here I said on a rude tune. No, I'm just worried if your hungry, then ill buy food for you.Im okay Gian. He just give me smile. Nothing more. Lets proceed to other department.
"Zia.. Zia..don't fall so easily.. soon that guy will hurt you.. I know you like him but not that too obvious. He would take care of me? Yeah that's what he says.. Until when he would take of you? He like me, yes you like him too. Why not give him a chance.. A chance? In your vocabulary? Why not. Then. Am I over reacted with what he do to me? Or this is ignorance? Love? What?! I gasped.
I received a text Message from Mary.
"Zia im not going this time. Something happened.. emergency. sorry thanks.
So I'm with this guy whole day? Whole day really?
What's wrong? Gian asked.. My friend wont able to help me today. Something happened, she didn't tell me. What is it. No worries, I said I will help you. When your with me, you don't have to worries anything. I ignore what he says.. Is it okay if we go to fourth floor? I want to have survey on College of Education. I said to him. He smile and salute to me. Why you saluting me?! I Laugh. Your really cute, when you smile.

Okay, he chuckles.Okay.. lets go there. Are sure you are not hungry?
"No im not..
Okay.. just checking my boss. He smile.
"Why every time he talk my heart gets soften too?".
We don't have escalator.. so we take the stairs up to fourth floor. We reached the Education Department. We didn't waste time. Hi guys.. Good morning, I greeted them. I'm Zia, from CITCS Department. I'm having a survey sheet for our thesis documents per Department from Different year level. Hope you guys will help me too. Here the survey sheet, Gian said. He smile as cute with his dimple to the education students. Those girls student got the attention from Gian. He is really good looking. " yeah sure, He gave those survey sheet. Actually some student from your department come here, before you guys having survey too. You're a scholar? Because I always see you at Student council. I'm Brian, Graduating student too. Its pleasure to help you. Yes I am.. Thank you Brian. I need more student to fill up my survey sheet I said while laughing silly. My friends are here too. Ill call them for you. Wow thank you so much. I give them the survey sheet. They are third year student as I see from their ID's. Some girls student keep talking to Gian. I walk for few steps to give some student a survey sheet too. "Hi guys! I said again.
How's you guys doing? Hi! And you are? Someone asked me. I'm Zia, having a survey.. would you guys care to do it? Were waiting to our professor for these clearance. Yeah sure while waiting. I had friends there. Nice to meet you! Yes, nice to meet you too. I didn't ask his friend name because for sure I don't know that person. Only few student I know from my department. I only knows my classmate. Didn't know others. And here's my survey sheet. I give them one by one.
Nice to meet you guys! Please fill up my survey sheet while waiting. And thank you guys!. Do you have any friends here too? I asked. "Yes, but they on the registrar, one girl answered me. They will come here maybe later. Its okay guys, thank you again. I said" Gian is coming to me, how's it? Are you done?! Yes, Zia, im done. They already filled up your survey. They are friendly, I had fun talking to them he smile. Yeah.. seems they are nice only to you. My mind speaks. I wave my hands to first batch we had survey to say thank you!. They wave back too, but their eyes is on Gian. "Yeah your enjoy talking to them too, I said. Yes.. they are funny girls. Yea they are nice, Gian is a cool guy the way I see how he talk to co-students. He talk nicely. "Hi Zia.. someone called me.. here's your survey sheet. Were done!. "Thank you guys! I said to them. You are very welcome they smile back.
"Are you tired Zia? No, I'm okay. Are you sure?. He concernedly asked. No worries I'm okay. I didn't talk., We can have some rest there when your tired. Just tell me?! Okay? He winks at me. "I just ignore those winking eyes on me". Inside of me I like it. Common you don't have to pretend that your okay. Lets go to canteen. Im hungry, . yeah better I'm hungry too. See I told you. Common boss..

There's French fries, do you want? Yeah.. sandwich.. I want that. What's for drinks? Pine apple juice for me. Okay, ill order that. Two order of sandwich, pine apple juice and French fries. Dinned in.
While waiting, Gian look for vacant table, were at the end of the corner. Only few student now on canteen because isn't really break time. Besides there no more classes. Most student busy on registrar office.I seated on the chair while waiting for Gian. Im just think of things I hated. Why I hate boys? When I don't have even a boyfriend yet. I used to hate boys because my best friend got hurt. But that's silly. Why not give a chance. Put a place for Gian, then you can hate boys when you got hurt. Maybe Gian is different, why He didn't talk to me for almost four years, instead of using Ken for spying me?. Why? You forgot silly Zia, his subject taken is for night. Four years at night schedule?. Duhh.. Why don't you ask him? My minds and ego are arguing. "Okay why not.. "Ill give a chance for Gian." I said to myself. Im 21, time to explore. To be being deep silly. Gian coming with our order. Here we go.. Lets eat. Here your sandwich.. he give me a sandwich. He sit beside me.

I just one thing on favor..Dont get rude. He smirk a bit. I laugh, Yeah sure.. im free on Sunday. But you are not going to me this time. Okay? I talk to my parents. After I talk to them, you can come along with me. His face looks so bright and his smile become so sweet and his dimple attract me more. His angelic face kills me a lot."His voice is serious. My apologized if I didn't talk to you for four years. Because when we have a training we do it outside of university. We do it on Camp Crame Aguinaldo sometime at Cabuyao, Ken did sending a photo of you every day. Every photo you had with ken he used to send me that everyday, or sometime every end of the week. When I see your smile I got heal from hard training. I do thank you Ken so much for taking care of you Zia. I love the photo Ken send to me.. your on wacky pose.. He laugh Now he laugh so silly.. I know Gian talking about, Now I understand why Ken taking photo everyday. Ken hated that thing all I know. He use to take photo when only me and my friends are, when there's a lot of students he didn't do. I remember that photo Gian talking that was Ken trying to draw my face though He's drawing isnt really good. He draw like a sever year old. That's why I did that wacky. I don't know he will send that to Gian. That was so hilarious. Gian, you have to wait on Sunday to come. Why? We can do that today? Really today? He look seem so excited and happy.
