FAVORITE (Social Media Series #2)

"Can you be my host for this event?" napalingon ako sa sinabi ni Josh at lumapit sakaniya para matignan ang papel na hawak niya.

"Next Month?" napaisip ako kung ano bang buwan na next month, sobrang daming requirements namin ngayon dahil 3rd year college na ako. Sobrang hindi ko na namalayan yung oras. Everything pass us like a blur. Truly that when you're happy, time ran fast.

"Let me tell that first to Kuya, hindi ko kasi hawak ang schedule ko sa work. I only have my academic schedule." I added and seated beside him.

I looked at him intently and gave him a genuine smile. Even though Josh and I were together and we often see each other, I still notices the small changes in his physique. Mas naging manly siya ngayon compare before because he constantly went to gym every now and then, mas naging define din ang kaniyang jaw line kaya mas nagmuka siyang masungit.

"Okay then, I'll just ask Matt." he said at hinawakan ang aking kamay. Napatingin ako roon at kita ko na suot niya ang relong binigay ko sa kaniya noong 3rd Anniversary namin. "It really suits you," tukoy ko sa relo.

"The one who gave that to me also suits me," napatawa naman ako sa sinabi niya. Walang kupas ang mga banat niya. Even though we have been in a relationship for a long time, he never fails to make me smile and make me feel how much he loves me, every single day.

"Trending na naman si Josh ah," sabi sa akin ni Spice ng makarating siya sa apartment ko. Medyo naii-stress na daw kasi siya sa acads kaya dumaan dito at para magkwento ng mga ganap namin sa buhay.

"Mich will be here too, manghihiram ng mga notes ko last year."

"Nanghihinayang ako sa isang taon, sabay sana kayo gagraduate," sabi sa akin ni Spice. I sat beside her and reached the remote control to open the television. "Me too, but at least she decided to continue her studies. Grabe iniyak natin 'non nung nagopen-up siya."

Napanguso ako ng maalala 'yon. "Anyways, about your boyfriend, lagi ko talaga siyang nakikita sa trending list, What is up to him?" nang mabanggit niya iyon ay bigla na lang naglight up ang mood ko. "He decided to make another book, even though kaka-publish lang ng isa niyang gawa. Do you know that? Titled 'Paradise in hell'?"

"Of course I do, bumili kaya ako 'non. I am somewhat relate." she said and I looked at her intently, napatango at binigyan ko siya ng ngiti. Grabe din ang pinagdaanan ni Spice. Hirap pa because we're freshmen college that time. Aside from we're struggling to adapt a new environment, and then suddenly it went along with her issues with her family, and then, her heartbreak, for the very first time.

Nang makarating si Mich ay nagmerienda na lang kami at ka-vc ang iba. Hindi na sila nakapunta dahil nga medyo iba iba schedules namin. Lalo na ngayong si Trina na halos hindi na nagpaparamdam, but we understand, she's a working student after all. Yen flew away from the country with her family, It was a sudden decision. Hindi rin namin alam kung bakit, she never open that, but we still have communications.

"Hey,"

"Congratulations Love!" bungad na bati ko sakaniya. Nang makaalis si Spice and Mich, I immediately called Josh. "Thank you, Love. And because of that, Let's celebrate it this Saturday. Are you free?"

"Para sa'yo, oo naman." nangingiti kong sabi. "See you on saturday, I'll be there before lunch."

"Lunch? Hindi dinner?" I asked. Kasi kapag nagdedate kami, laging gabi, and I really love night dates. Night dates are more romantic, for me. "It is for you to find out." he said and chuckled. Kunot noo naman akong nakikinig sa kaniya. "Anyways, I'll hang up, may meeting pa ako with another sponsors maya-maya. I'll call you later."
