Chasing my Happiness

Chapter 24

My 1st year as freshman student is finally done. All the hardworks, all the efforts, the memories and other things i've done is leveling up. It become more hard day by day.

Our relationship was like a roller coaster. Napakaraming pangyayari na nilagpasan naming magkasama, mga away na hindi pinapatagal at mga karangalan na kaming dalawa ang may gawa. Ngunit, tulad ng oras mabilis lamang itong nangyari. We both celebrate our monthsary together through the past months.

Each days, weeks and months, i really learned a lot and i am still learning. I learned that you wouldn't find love only for a physical appearance. Even though we're apart, i still love him. Kahit hindi ko siya nakakasama at minsang nakikita, he still assured that everything is fine. My feelings is stable, we maybe come to they've called 'boring' paste, it's still the same. We both are growing, we both wanted to be the best version of ourselves without breaking our relationship.

Today is our 6th monthsary, ang bilis kung iisipin. Bukas na bukas din ay ang graduation nito kasama si Kuya Desmond. Yes, ka batch niya ang Kuya ko. Kuya Dawson will also move to his last year persuing Architect. Kuya Declan his 3rd year and my 2nd year.

I am also proud to my family for carrying everything. I know, our hardworks will also payed off successfully someday.

"Kaya mo 'yan!" He cheer me up.

"Do you think?" I whispered. I'm not confident enough, but i know i did all my best.

"Sabi ko nga 'diba kahit anong gawin mo, proud ako sa'yo. I'm always rooting for your success." He hugged me and caressed my back. I sniffed on his clothes as i hug my arms to his waist.

6 months our half way and our 1 year of being a deal relationship.

"I love you." I whispered. Hindi ako mag sasawang sabihin 'yon sa kaniya. He deserve all the love and care that he didn't felt when he was young.

We celebrate by cooking and bonding. It's sentimental, yes. We always want to be at each others arms while celebrating. Nanood lamang kami nang Netflix at natulog buong araw. Napansin na rin namin ang pag laki ng mga pusa namin, gumagala na rin si Ace at nakakulong naman palagi si Lili. Matapos nga rin ang araw na 'yon ay inihatid naman ako ni Ramirez sa bahay.

"I'll be there tomorrow. Sila Tita at Tita pupunta ba?" I asked him after we get outside.

"Hmm..."

"Why sudden a sad tone? Are you okay?" I whispered, worriedly.

Unti-unti lumapit ito sa akin at niyakap ako. Natawa ako ng bahagya pero alam ko na may dinaramdam ito.

"Oh, why?"

"Mag tratrabaho na ako. I won't see you often." He whispered, not answering my first question.

"Hindi ba para sa 'yo naman 'yon?" I asked in a calmly way.

"Para sa 'tin."

"No, love. Please don't forget about yourself too. I know you love me but i'm not your responsib—"

"You are my responsibilities."

"But you're not my paren—" he cut me once again.

"You're my family. No buts."

I gave him a small smile while looking at him.

"It's already late, maaga pa bukas." The last sentence i uttered.

We ended it with a smile. Pag dating ko sa kwarto ay agad akong humiga sa kama at ipinikit ang mata.

I saw a girl walking with a stranger, with a blur boy. She's happily walking with him. I sense her all above smiles.
