How did someone like you come to me?
If only we could be together right now
How nice would it be
- Through the night, IU
With the passing of days, my normal routine which consists of waking up early to go to school, chatting and exchanging ulam with my friends every lunch, and finish my assignments and chores after school finished begun, just with a slight deviation.
(AN: Ulam is like the main meal in which it is paired off of rice)
It was him, he was that change, that slight malfunction in my rigid and monotonous life.
He was always there, either peeking at me and having coincidental meetings, he was always in my sight. As if he was announcing his existence to me, reminding me that he was here and that he wanted me to face his intentions.
And so I did.
"I really do like you, Ange" he was serious, his eyelashes trembling with his hands clenched on his side, pursed lips as he waited for my reaction.
I blinked, the attraction and like was clear in his eyes but it was awkward for me, I was unused to this kind of matter.
I have four brothers, I have some guy friends but this was something that I haven't touched yet, this kind of feeling was something I'm unfamiliar with.
"Well... if you um... really like me t-then I wanted you to... to agree on one condition" I avoided his eager gaze, it was like a fire burning my skin, teasing me of its warmth.
I didn't want to have a boyfriend yet, worse it wasn't even in my mind but looking at his clear eager eyes, I hesitated.
Let's just give him a chance, that's what my mind and heart decided.
"If you can wait and court me for a year then I'll say yes"
(AN: Courting in the Philippines, especially in the olden days were important, it's still being practiced but there were not many people that exercise this tradition)
"Okay" he agreed, his eyes lighted in joy as he pursed his lips in a smile. It was clear in his eyes that he is willing and that he is happy.
I may not know what would happen after this but at this time, I just don't want to regret it.

Chapter 4 is up!
Fun fact: Yes, Ange did tell him that one year condition
Have a great day everyone! Stay safe and happy!
