Beyond the Horizon of Love (Ryker Series #1)

BTHOL [14]

"I was actually planning on seeing you before this day ends," natatawang sabi niya.

"Well, I'm here na po," I giggled.

After eating, we joined his friends and cousins inside. He formally introduced me to some of his cousins that are present tonight. The others already went home.

The night ended nang ihatid ako ni Kuya Sean sa bahay. He keeps on saying thank you and I just keep on giggling dahil ang cute niya. Hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses na siyang nagpasalamat sa akin.

Nag-shower lang ako pag-akyat ko sa kwarto bago nahiga sa kama at chineck ang cellphone ko dahil sa sunod-sunod na notifications nito. It was from our group chat.

Brixton Ramos:

Leizie Mendoza:

Janniza Avril Ventura:

Leizie Mendoza:
@Janniza Avril Ventura check mo ig story ni Kuya Sean lmao

I quickly opened my instagram and stalked his account. Nakita kong may new story siya kaya pinindot ko iyon para ma-view.

It was just a picture of his friends and family kanina. I was smiling habang pinapanood ang mga videos na nandoon. Sa huling story niya ay doon bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko.

It was a collage pic containing four pictures. The first one was a cake with my hand on it, the second one was his hand wearing the watch that I gave him, the third one was the happy birthday decoration that we made.

For the last picture, it's a candid picture of me na hinahati iyong cake.  

'tyL for today'

That was his caption. For some other reason, my heart started pounding faster again and I don't know why. I just clicked the like on his story before turning off my phone.

I was in charge of checking all the booths on the first day of intrams kaya naman nasa grounds lang ako to check them from time to time.

"First game sila Zayd mamayang nine," sabi ni Lei habang bumibili kami ng waffles.

"Anong department makakalaro nila?" tanong ni Nova.

"Accountancy."

I looked at my watch and saw the time kaya naman humarap ako sa kanila. 

"I think we should go na sa gym to find a better seat. Malapit na mag-start 'yong game," yaya ko kaya nagmadali na kami.

Wala pang masyadong tao sa harapan kaya naman doon kaagad kami umupo. Eksaktong pagka-upo ko ay nag-text sa akin si Kuya Sean.

Kuya Sean:
Where are you?

Avril:
Gym po. We're going to watch basketball

Kuya Sean:
Who are you watching?
