It's Saturday morning, another boring day. I'm done cleaning my house and cooking for my breakfast. I woke up early to do this, I don't know why I am productive today. This feels weird, so I decided to go outside to buy some beer. I want to watch a movie later while drinking some beer. It gives me a chill every time I do this. Suddenly my phone rang, I picked it up to see who's calling. It's Stella, I answered it immediately.
"What?" I asked
"Good morning buddy!" My eardrums almost burst by Stella's loud voice.
"Can you lower down your voice, it's too loud. Good morning bud" I said
"Sorry, I'm just thinking, can you come with me tomorrow at the park? There's a fireworks display there at 9:00 PM" Stella said, I felt the excitement in her voice from my phone.
"Tomorrow, I'll think about it" I replied
"Dave, come on, it's a fireworks display. We can go on a picnic while watching fireworks besides you're not busy and you're alone there". Stella said
She's right. I do not have any schedule aside from watching movies later. If I go, would that be awkward? Typically some couples would do that kind of thing, watching fireworks while on the picnic.
"I'll call you right back, I'm gonna check something." I said, for not to keep her wait with my decision.
"Alright, just update me but please come along with me. Bye!" Stella said and hung up the phone.
I'm thinking about whether I should go or not. I'm happy that she invites me but what if she is with someone else and she only invites me to introduce him to me. I hate this feeling but suddenly i remember what our substitute teacher told Stella "You might better confess to him right away before it's too late". Minutes passed and I also analyzing what our substitute teacher said.
"Will I admit it?" I said to myself
Hours passed by and I realized that before it's too late I will admit it. Before someone comes into her life, I will admit that I love her. I will tell her my feelings that I love her more than friends. I feel confident this time at the same time scared but who cares? At Least I confess my feelings to her. No pain or guilt will remain to me. If that person that she admires loves her, I'll be happy for her and at the same time happy for myself because she will know my feelings about her. I can explode anytime on what I feel right now, I'm like a volcano that anytime will explode. I need to confess my feelings with her but how?
I realized that it's a bit weird if I confess only in front of her. An idea comes to my mind that she surely likes. I remember what she said to me yesterday "Hmmm... write me a poem". Alright I will confess my feelings to her using my poems. She will not leave me because she said and I trust her.
I took my phone and dialed her number. A two rings passed she answered
"Yes, Dave? You g?" She asked
"Yes, g, Sunday, 9PM" I answered quickly and detailed
"Yes! Thank you buddy! That fireworks display is good I promise you. See you buddy!" She said
"Yes, see you Stella" after that I hung up the phone and lay down on my couch. "I'm nervous. God help me please".
I decided to write the poem. I took my pencil and paper to start my confession. This may be the best poem I will make. Full of fragrance sentences and full of truthful words. I will make the most beautiful poem in the world.
For the person I love the most.
I pick up my pen and start to write the title.
"Ang Unang Tula Para Kay Stella".
