Cassandra POV

Hinila ako ni Sian sa puno ng acacia, malapit lang din sa bahay ni Lola

"Let's make a promise to stay together forever, not because of the red string in our hands, but because we want to." Sian whispered in my ear as he clasped his hand to mine.

We were only twelve years old when we made that promise and we've kept it even now that we're in college.

"Love!" I yelled his name when I saw him.

He never failed to drop me off or take me home after I finished my class.

He began walking towards me and hugged me tightly.

"How are you today, love?" He asked while kissing my forehead.

"I'm fine, just tired. What about you?" Asking him back

"It been a rough day, pero nakita kita" He smiled as his lips touched mine.

—————————-

We're eating in our own house right now. Yes, our very own house.

We decided to buy a house instead of a condo. Our parents helped and supported us financially in buying this house.

Sian and I both worked in Call Center so that we could buy and pay our bills because we no longer want to ask or rely on our parents money.

"Ako na ang mag huhugas" He offered, so I nodded.

He washed the dishes, and I dried them to help him.

He always does this, and I either dry the dishes or clean the table to help him.

Parang 50/50 ang relationship namin. He will help me, and I will always find a way to help him back.

He will buy me gifts or pay the bills, so I do the same only if he is in need and deserves it

Our relationship is way far from perfect. We also had a few petty arguments about someone or something we did, but we always make sure to fix it because we both wanted it to work.

"Wala akong pasok" Nakangiting sabi ko habang nag pupunas ng mga basang pinggan.

"I don't have work either. Do you want to watch a movie or gala tayo?" Tanong niya pabalik.

"Manood na lang tayo ng movie dito sa bahay, ako na gagawa ng popcorn" I offered, ng matapos akong mag punas ay nag simula na akong gumawa ng popcorn.

Tapos na rin si Sian mag hugas at ngayon ay nasa sala siya para mag ayos at mag hanap ng movie.

Matapos kong gumawa ng popcorn ay lumapit at tumabi na ko sakanya.

Ang napili niyang movie ay 'Insidious'

"Naks horror ang trip, hindi ka na naman makakatulog niyan" Pangaasar ko at sumimangot naman siya.

"Gusto ko ng romance pero gusto mo ng horror kaya ito na lang panoorin natin tapos next week romance naman, okay?" Natawa ako ng bigla siyang yumakap at sumiksik saakin.

May mga bagay na hindi kami pareho katulad na lang nang genre ng movie.

I like horror, supernatural, thriller and action movie habang siya kabaligtaran ko.

Kaya hindi na kataka taka kung bakit siya nakayakap saakin ngayon kasi matatakutin siya.
