Love At First Flight (Hernandez #1)

TW: Sensitive/Painful words

It's been 6 months, since that night happened. We're still breathing at the same air, I guess. Just kidding, anyways, I've been busy these weeks, it's our last sem, nag re-review ako, sobrang hectic. Ilang  months nalang Lavigne, we can do it! 

My phone beeped, it's Mikayla, asking if I saw her book yesterday. This girl, Josiah and her are a thing, actually no label. Ewan ko, paano sila napunta sa ganoong sitwasyon, I thought they were rivals? what now? are they okay with that? no strings attached? no labels? well, 'wag lang iiyak sa'kin si Mikayla, sasampalin ko siya. Grabe ha, nakailang advice na ako sakanya. Kahit kay Elireina, at talagang sinusundan-sundan niya si Joseph? bakit ba tirador ng mga kaibigan ko ang dalawang Ty na 'yon.

My friends and Ty brothers are scared of commitment. 

Why? I mean, is commitment really acceptable when it comes to our life? siguro oo, kasi noong ako rin ganoon, I'm scared of commitment that i'll run away if that word kept chasing me. Not until someone came in my life. What is commitment? I don't really know the exact answer. But I think, I'll know it soon.

"It's so pretty ate.... Thank you.." I smiled, looking her at the mirror. 

It really suits you, my love. You're the prettiest girl I've seen in my life.

"You really bought me wigs, I'm still pretty naman kahit bald ako, 'diba ate?" She asked, looking at me.

I walk towards her, touching the wig I gave her weeks ago. I smiled while touching it. 

If wigs will be your comfort zone, I'll buy you dozens.

"Maganda ka parin kahit anong itsura ka, may buhok man o wala." I held her face, wiping the tears of her cheeks. She smiled, combing her hair. 

When she started experiencing hair loss, I and Ly decided to cut our hair above our shoulder. That's the thing we can do to lessen her insecurity. She treasures her hair the most.

"You and Ly's hair are the best. I told you not to cut your hair, ate. I'll be fine naman e. You and Ly are stubborn talaga. You don't need to do that. Mom told me, people without hair are the prettiest." I bit my cheeks inside, stopping myself to shed into tears.

You will always be the prettiest girl in my eyes, no matter what appearance you are.

"Miss Hernandez? are you even listening to my discussion?" Napaigtad ako at napatingin sa professor ko na nakataas ang kilay.

Shit, so all this time, nakatingin ako sa bintana?

I stood up, bowing my head a bit. "I apologize for my behavior, professor," napapikit ako at hindi namalayan ang pagtulo ng luha sa aking mata. Agad ko itong pinunasan at ngumiti sa aking guro.
