Beyond The Universe

Chapter 1

Michelle's POV:

One hour before the Grand Coronation night of Miss Universe 2023.. Kinakabahan na siya at pati na rin yung ibang delegates. Lahat busy sa mga preparations and there will be no room for mistakes anymore. But whatever the outcome, she is grateful enough to all the Filipino fans supported her throughout the journey and she knows she did all her best to represent the country.

Hinahanap ng mga mata niya si Anntonia dahil gusto niya itong makausap bago magsimula ang final competition. At nakita niya itong kasama ang team ng MUT. Nilapitan niya ito.

"Hi Mommy! Ready to break a leg?" sinabi niya habang nakangiti kay Anntonia.

"I'm very nervous Dadee...This is very different feeling I ever feel right now and very intense" sabi ni Antonnia na halatang kinakabahan talaga.

"Don't worry mommy! We can do this! And as I always say to you I'm very proud of you." sabi niya sabay hawak sa malamig na kamay ni Anntonia.

The warm of her hands makes Anntonia calm and not to overthink for what may happen. She always do these to Anntonia everytime she knows that she is uneasy and something is bothering to her.

"Thanks dadee! Goodluck to us and win the crown." sabi ni Anntonia sabay higpit sa kamay niya na nakahawak parin.

"I'll go now mommy because I'll finish some small touches pa hehehe at baka hinahanap nako ng team ko". sabi niya sabay kiss sa forehead ni Anntonia na nakagawian na niyang gawin lagi.

"Ok, dadee". nakangiting sabi at alam niyang mapakalma siya nito.

Marami na ang nangyari from preliminaries of the pageant until today the final day of the competition. We develop great bonding and closeness with Miss Thailand. Pareho kami ng mga nakagawian, attitudes, sense of humor at karanasan kaya siguro madali kaming napalapit sa isa't isa. Anntonia is always my support system partner same as I to her.

Sa mga araw na nag daan sa aming dalawa, nahulog ang loob ko sa kanya. I fall in love with her without telling her personally. I show my love to her through actions like cuddling her when she needs it. Holding her hands like what I always want kasi feel ko safe siya pag hawak ko kamay niya. We do share same experiences that we never share to other delegates. Kahit na pagdadala ng kanyang mga gamit ginawa ko na.🙂 I don't want to tell her how I feel because I might get hurt in return baka masira ang friendship nami dahil mahal ko siya. Baka mailang siya dahil bisexual ako at alam naman niya iyon. At alam ko din may boyfriend na siya.

Si Irfan isang football player at sabi nga ni Anntonia matagal na sila kaya ayaw kong sirain relasyon na iyon at ayaw kong iwasan niya ako dahil lahat ng mga pinapakita kong effort ay dahil mahal ko siya na mahigit pa sa friendship na meron kami.

Anntonia is sweet, mabait and maganda in her simple ways. Hindi siya mahirap mahalin dahil sa mga katangiang iyon. She responds naman sa lahat ng pinapakita kong efforts para sa kanya. Pero I don't know what am I to her wala naman siyang sinasabi sa akin at hindi naman ako nagtatanong. Basta all the days I spent here in El Salvador are the best days because I know Miss Thailand.

Noon pa man in her IG I commented na "Can't wait to see you". At ngayon nga sa puntong ito higit pa sa sinabi ko ang binigay ni Lord sa akin kundi nakasama ko siya dito ng matagal and get to know her in person. At hindi naman ako binigo nga mga expectations ko of her.
