Bahagya akong nakanguso habang nakatingin sa phone ko. I am stalking Dave's IG account. He doesn't have facebook and that's fine because me myself love IG better.

Isang picture lang talaga ang laman, I mean dalawa na kasi nagupload siya ng kamay naming magkahawak kani-kanilang. But despite of his poor account he still have a lot of followers. Kakilala ko pa nga ang iba. From Manila.

"Who's this guy?" Magkasalubong ang kilay na tanong ni Dave kaya agad kong tiningnan iyon.

He's stalking my account also. I shrugged my shoulder because I don't know the guy he's talking about. Maybe my classmate before?

"He said he miss you." Nakabusangot na sabi niya kaya napairap ako.

"I don't know him."

"Tss" he blocked everyone he doesn't like on my phone.

Pagkatapos niyang buting-tingin ang phone ko agad ko 'yong kinuha saka binalik ang kaniya.

"Phone invader" I murmured. Hindi ko nga pinakialaman ang phone niya. I respect his privacy but I think he don't beleive that shit.

Napatingin ako sa malapad na lupa sa harap namin. I smiled and feel the freshness of the air. The tall grasses are dancing in one rythm because of the wind. It looks so bright too because of the sunlight. The birds were singing and flying everywhere and playing with the trees. The clouds were like kissing the top of the mountains. I just realized, it's so good to live in this peaceful place. This is much better than seeing traffic and city lights.

"Damn, I never appreciated province until now." I murmured.

Dave chuckled beside me. Nilagay niya ang dalawang braso niya sa gilid ko saka tiningnan ako ng diretso. I smiled. I am sitting on the hood of his car and we are in the middle of their lands. I am lost, I am lost with him in this peaceful and amazing place.

"Province life is really better, that is why I chose to study here even though I could do it in some famous Universities in Manila." I nod and put my arms on his neck then rested my jaw on his shoulder while watching the view.

Yeah, but I don't see myself living in a province....Baka naman....

"You think I belong in this place?"

"Of course, Are you not contented?" Umiling ako saka nagbuntong hininga.

He lifted my chin to look at my eyes.

"I've never been contented Dave, never."

Until now....I guess.

His jaw clenched. I thought he would say something but he didn't, instead he pull me closer to his body and hug him more. I smiled while enhaling his scent.

"Bakit ba ngayon lang kita nakilala?" I whispered.

I never felt like this before. I hope he could feel what I feel, I can't say it straight to his face but I hope he could read me. I hope.

Ilang oras rin kaming nanatili sa lugar na 'yon bago nagpasyang umuwi. I would love to spend every seconds of the day with Dave.

"Bella do you still wanna go back? In Manila?" Natigil ang pagsubo ko sa carbonara dahil sa sinabi ni Mommy.

Kung tatanungin ako noon agad akong sasagot ng oo pero ngayon walang kahit akong lumabas sa bibig ko. I stared at my Mom's face and she smiled sweetly at me.

"I realized that you must graduate in a better University, your Dad wants you to graduate on his Alma Matter."

I swallowed.
